(1) By Decision 2012/419/EU3, the European Council amended the status of Mayotte with regard to the Union with effect from 1 January 2014. Therefore, from that date Mayotte will cease to be an overseas country and territory to become an outermost region within the meaning of Articles 349 and 355(1) TFEU. In view of the change in legal status of Mayotte, Union law will apply to Mayotte from 1 January 2014. It is appropriate to provide for certain specific measures justified by the particular situation of Mayotte in a number of areas. __________________ 3, in particular its island status and remoteness, in a number of areas. __________________ OL L 204, 31.7.2012, p.131. 3 OJ L 204, 31.7.2012, p. 131.

(6) First, an important part of the fleet flying the flag of France and operating from the French Department of Mayotte is composed by vessels of less than 9 meters in overall length which are dispersed around the island, have no specific landing sites and still need to be identified, measured and equipped with minimum safety implements in order to be included in the register of Union fishing vessels; as a consequence, France will not be able to complete this register until 31 December 2016. France should, however, install a provisional fleet register guaranteeing minimum identification of the characteristics of vessels of this segment in order to avoid proliferation of unidentified and informal fishing vessels.

(6) First, an important part of the fleet flying the flag of France and operating from the French Department of Mayotte is composed by vessels of less than 910 meters which are dispersed around the island, have no specific landing sites and still need to be identified, measured and equipped with minimum safety implements in order to be included in the register of Union fishing vessels; as a consequence, France will not be able to complete this register until 31 December 201620. France should, however, install a provisional fleet register guaranteeing minimum identification of the vessels of this segment in order to avoid proliferation of informal fishing vessels.

(7) Second, it is necessary for the protection of the sensitive ecological and biological situation of the waters around Mayotte and the preservation of the local economy of that island, having regard to its structural, social and economic situation, to limit certain fishing activities in those waters to vessels registered in the ports of that island.

Recital 10
(10) As regards Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 of 20 November 2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy, amending Regulations (EC) No 847/96, (EC) No 2371/2002, (EC) No 811/2004, (EC) No 768/2005, (EC) No 2115/2005, (EC) No 2166/2005, (EC) No 388/2006, (EC) No 509/2007, (EC) No 676/2007, (EC) No 1098/2007, (EC) No 1300/2008, (EC) No 1342/2008 and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 2847/93, (EC) No 1627/94 and (EC) No 1966/20069 , it appears that France will not be in a position to comply with all Union control obligations for the segment "Mayotte. Pelagic and demersal species. Length < 910m" of the fleet of Mayotte by the date on which Mayotte becomes an outermost region. The vessels of that segment, dispersed around the island, have no specific landing sites and still need to be identified. In addition, it is necessary to train fishermen and controllers and to set up the appropriate administrative and physical infrastructure. It is therefore necessary to provide for a temporary derogation from certain rules concerning the control of fishing vessels and their characteristics, their activities at sea, their gear and their catches at all stages from the vessel to the market in respect of that segment of the fleet. However, in order to attain at least some of the most important objectives of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009, France should establish a national control system allowing it to control and monitor the activities of that segment of the fleet and to comply with the international reporting obligations of the Union. __________________ 9 OJ L 343, 22.12.09, p.1.
