(8)Pursuant to Article 8 of Regulation (EU) 2023/2053, Member States may request to transfer a maximum 5 % of their annual quota of bluefin tuna in the ICCAT Convention area, east of 45°W from the preceding year to a given year. Certain Member States included in their annual fishing plans submitted to the Commission requests to carry over their annual quota of bluefin tuna in the ICCAT Convention area, east of 45°W from 2025 to 2026. On the basis of those requests, the Commission included a request for carry-over of the Union quota for that stock from 2025 to 2026 in the Union annual plan for 2026. Following the approval of the Union annual plan, the quotas of those Member States for bluefin tuna in the ICCAT Convention area, east of 45°W for 2026 should therefore be amended accordingly.
