(5)Following the prolongation and extension of the embargo imposed in 2014 by the Russian Federation on the importation of certain fisheries products from the Union, Regulation (EU) 2015/2072 amended Regulations (EU) No 1221/2014 and (EU) No 2015/104. The amendments provided for the transfer of an increased percentage of quantities not used in 2015 to the quotas allocated for certain stocks in 2016. Where a Member State has used this option in respect of a particular stock, no other flexibility as regards a carry-over of unused fishing opportunities should apply to that stock, therefor excluding it from this Regulation.
