A comprehensive Union approach is needed that takes into account suggestions from pelagic AC. The use of the footnote for incidental by-catches should be separated, as an alternative, from the use of species flexibility under Art 15(8), and should TAC cover all species necessary in the context, based on data and not putting into question relative stability. Excluding waters within six nautical miles of the UK baselines at Shetland, Fair Isle and Foula. (2) Without prejudice to the landing obligation catches of dab, whiting and mackerel may be counted against up to 2 % of the quota (OT1/*2A3A4), provided that not more than 9% in total of this quota for sandeel is accounted for by these catches and by-catches of those species. This provision shall not apply where a Member State uses the flexibility provided in Article 15(8) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013.
