(5)As the remedial measures for stocks with biomass at levels below Blim provided for by Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2019/472 remain necessary to ensure rapid return of the stock or functional unit concerned to levels above those capable of producing MSY, in view of the concerning state of the fish stocks in the Celtic Sea and the Irish Sea and ongoing discussions between the Union and the UK on technical measures relating to fish stocks caught in mixed fisheries in the Celtic Sea, those remedial measures should be prolonged until 31 December 2026, in order to continue optimising exploitation patterns, increase gear selectivity and reduce unwanted catches.
