(4a) At its 23rd Regular Meeting in November 2013, ICCAT adopted Recommendation 13-08 complementing Recommendation 12-03, in order to allow modifications of the fishing seasons in the eastern Atlantic that do not affect the protection of the bluefin tuna spawning grounds. This ICCAT recommendation states that the Contracting Parties and Cooperating non-Contracting Parties, Entities or Fishing Entities (CPCs) may specify a different starting date for the fishing seasons for their bait boats and trolling boats operating in the eastern Atlantic, while keeping the total duration of the open season for these fisheries.

Article 7 paragraph 3
Bluefin tuna fishing by bait boats and trolling boats shall be permitted in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean during the period from 1 July to 31 October. Notwithstanding the previous sub- paragraph, for the years 2014 and 2015, and since it does not affect the protection of the spawning grounds, Member States may specify, in their annual national fishing plans, a different starting date for baitboats and trolling boats flying their flag and operating in the eastern Atlantic, while keeping the total duration of the open season for these fisheries in line with the provisions of the previous sub- paragraph.
