Transfer of unused days within the same management period from one relevant fishing boat (“the donor”) to another (“the recipient”) for the purposes of paragraph 9 of Annex IVc where either the donor or the recipient is, or both are, a relevant fishing boat, is permitted subject to the conditions specified in paragraph 9(a) to (c) of Annex IVc, to the extent specified in a notification of transfer sent to the Scottish Ministers.

A person who knowingly or recklessly makes a statement in a notification under paragraph (1) which is false in a material particular is guilty of an offence.

For the purposes of this article “the same management period” means any two management periods provided that the transfer takes place during the concurrence of the management periods.
