For the purposes of this Regulation, unintended catches means incidental catches of marine organisms that, under Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) , must be landed and counted against quotas either because they are below the minimum conservation reference size or because they exceed the quantities permitted under the catch composition and by-catch rules.]
