By way of derogation from paragraph 2, a Member State may authorise, for a limited period of time not extending beyond 31 December 2015, the use of ROVs for the purpose of scientific experimental campaigns for observation and harvesting of red coral, provided that the campaigns are carried out under the supervision of a national research institution or in collaboration with competent national or international scientific bodies as well as with any other relevant stakeholders.
De mhaolú ar mhír 2, féadfaidh Ballstát a údarú, le linn tréimhse theoranta ama nach mairfidh thar an 31 Nollaig 2015, go n-úsáidfear ROVanna chun feachtais eolaíocha turgnamhacha ar mhaithe le coiréalach dearg a bhreathnú agus a shaothrú, ar choinníoll go ndéanfar na feachtais faoi mhaoirsiú náisiúnta institiúid taighde nó i gcomhoibriú le comhlachtaí náisiúnta nó idirnáisiúnta inniúla eolaíocha mar aon le haon gheallsealbhóirí ábhartha eile.
