This Regulation increases fishing quotas fixed for 2025 in Regulations (EU) 2024/2903, (EU) 2025/202 and (EU) 2025/219. It underlines that restrictions are needed on how quota flexibilities are used to prevent excessive flexibility that could harm sustainable fisheries management and weaken common fisheries policy goals. This regulation provides that if a Member State has already used year‑to‑year flexibility for a particular stock, it may not also carry over any unused quotas for that same stock, and vice versa.
