For vessels in a closed group with a legal length of less than 15 metres. The Director of Fisheries has followed the Fishermen's Association's advice in the matter.
The work committee in the Norwegian Fishermen's Association considered the haddock case this week, and gave input to the directorate, which has now been accepted in its entirety.

New quota units for maximum quotas are as follows:
- Vessels with authorized length under 11 meters and greatest length under 11 metres: 200.1721 (5,000% overregulation)
- Vessels with a legal length of less than 11 meters and a maximum length of 11 meters or more: 102.0485 (2,500% overregulation)
- Vessels with authorized length between 11-14.99 meters and greatest length below 11 meters: 83.4523 (2,000% overregulation)
- Vessels with legal length between 11-14.99 meters and greatest length of or over 11 meters: 43.7131 (1,000% overregulation)

The Norwegian Fishermen's Association showed in our input that according to the Directorate of Fisheries' weekly statistics per week 15, 24,820 tonnes of the group quota remained for vessels in a closed group in the haddock fishery north of 62°N.
The fishing rate has been higher in the smallest coastal fishing fleet this year compared to recent years, and the Fishermen's Association pointed out that individual vessels are within the quota ceiling.
The Norwegian Fishermen's Association therefore advocated increasing the over-regulation in the smallest vessel groups somewhat.
The Fishermen's Association's advice is based on facilitating good utilization of allocated group quotas.
