Decommissioning and withdrawal from the fleet consists in the scrapping of the vessel, to the exclusion of any other procedure. The premium is paid as compensation for scrapping the vessel and for abandoning the related permits and, as the case may be, quota allowances. In 2012 and 2013, EUR 0.7 million and EUR 0.3 million were disbursed respectively for these two categories (fish trade and fishing). The tonnage and propulsion power of the vessels are deducted from the capacity allocation limits for France at European level.
