(7)Fishing effort limits for Union fishing vessels fishing for bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) in International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) Convention area, east of 45°W, and maximum input and capacity for Union farms of bluefin tuna in that area are based on information provided in the annual plans referred to in Articles 11, 13 and 15 of Regulation (EU) 2023/2053 of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote. Member States are to submit those plans to the Commission by 31 January of each year, pursuant to Article 16(1) of Regulation (EU) 2023/2053. Those plans are then to be compiled by the Commission and are to form the basis for the establishment of a Union annual plan, which is to be transmitted to the ICCAT Secretariat for discussion and approval by ICCAT, as set out in Article 16(2) of Regulation (EU) 2023/2053. On 5 March 2026, ICCAT approved the Union annual plan for 2026. The Union fishing effort limits and Union maximum farming input and capacity for 2026 should therefore be amended in line with that annual plan.
