2. In the absence of scientific advice on fishing mortality rate consistent with maximum sustainable yield, fishing opportunities for the stocks managed under this plan shall be consistent with scientific advice to ensure the sustainability of the stocks in line with the precautionary approach to fisheries management as defined in point 8 of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 and an ecosystem- based approach.

Article 8 – paragraph 1
Article 8 – paragraph 1
1. When the most up-to- date scientific advice indicates that for a given year the spawning biomass of any of the stocks in Group 1 is below the MSY Btrigger or that the abundance of any of the functional units in Group 2 is below the Abundancebuffer set out in Annex II, column A, all appropriate remedial measures shall be adopted to ensure rapid return of the stock or functional unit concerned to levels above those capable of producing maximum sustainable yield. In particular, by way of derogation from Article 4(2) fishing opportunities shall be set at levels consistent with a fishing mortality, taking into account the decrease in biomass or abundance, that is reduced below the range laid down in Annex I, column A.
