The aggregate fishing capacity measured in gross tonnage and in kilowatt of all fishing vessels holding a fishing authorisation issued by a Member State, allowing the catch of deep-sea species, whether as target or by-catch species, shall at no time exceed the aggregate fishing capacity of vessels of that Member State which have landed 10 tonnes or more of deep-sea species during any of the two calendar years preceding the entry into force of this Regulation, whichever year provides the higher figure.

4. For the purposes of paragraph 1(b), the gross final consumption of energy from renewable sources for heating and cooling shall be calculated as the quantity of district heating and cooling produced in a Member State from renewable sources, plus the consumption of other energy from renewable sources in industry, households, services, agriculture, forestry and fisheries, for heating, cooling and processing purposes.

‘gross final consumption of energy’ means the energy commodities delivered for energy purposes to industry, transport, households, services including public services, agriculture, forestry and fisheries, including the consumption of electricity and heat by the energy branch for electricity and heat production and including losses of electricity and heat in distribution and transmission.

(c)the relative number of Community fishing vessels flying its flag (engine power and gross tonnage) that are involved in the fishery that is subject to the joint deployment plan in relation to the total number of vessels that are involved in that fishery.

2. Notes that there is an increase in fishing possibilities for shrimp trawlers: the proposal provides for 9 600 gross registered tonnes (GRT) per year, as against 8 800 under the previous agreement. It should be pointed out that, under the previous agreement, there had been a reduction of 2 200 GRT following an adjustment to the fishing possibilities to match the state of stocks, which had declined over the previous two years. It would therefore be interesting to know whether the current increase is the outcome of a proper study of the state of recovery of those stocks, especially since the new agreement covers a four-year period and Ar ...[+++]ticle 3 thereof allows the fishing possibilities to be increased by 1 000 GRT per year if fishing resources permit.
