(1)Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/897^note approved the initial list of ports which comply with the conditions for applying the derogation from the margins of tolerance in estimating catches for unsorted landings or transhipments of small pelagic fisheries, industrial fisheries and tropical tuna purse seine fisheries. That list was amended by adding new ports which comply with the relevant provisions of Chapter II of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/1474^note, approved by Commission Implementing Regulations (EU) 2025/2156^note and (EU) 2026/1171^note.

(2)In accordance with Article 6 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/1474, Denmark submitted an application to the Commission to include one port located on its territory, namely the port of Køge, in the list of ports approved by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/897.

(3)Based on the information and evidence submitted by Denmark in its application and following an assessment carried out by the Commission as referred to in Article 7(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/1474, the Commission found that the conditions set out in Chapter II of that Implementing Regulation for the port proposed to be listed have been fulfilled.

(4)According to the information submitted by Denmark, the port of Køge meets the conditions required under Articles 2 and 3 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/1474 for the listing of ports within the Union. The port has in place procedures to ensure the accurate weighing of landed catches. Specifically, the port is equipped with weighbridges, water separators to enable dewatering of catches at landing prior to their weighing, a sampling chute accessible by both operators and inspectors, and with a remote electronic monitoring system with CCTV cameras. The competent authorities have therefore the requisite systems in place to fully monitor the accuracy of the weighing of each landing and transhipment of catches of fisheries covered by Article 14(4), point (a) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009. The weighing procedure is carried out under the responsibility of approved and independent third-party weighers meeting all the requirements laid down in Article 3(3) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/1474.

(5)Based on the information submitted, the port proposed to be listed by Denmark should therefore be approved and entered in the list of ports referred to in Article 14(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009.

(6)Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/897 should therefore be amended accordingly,
