By way of derogation from point (a) of paragraph 1, where a Member State has been allocated fishing opportunities for species listed in Annex I before 12 January 2017, but its vessels have not caught 10 tonnes or more of deep-sea species in any of the reference years, the aggregate fishing capacity of such Member State shall at no time exceed the aggregate fishing capacity of its vessels in any of the three latest years in which at least one of its vessels caught 10 tonnes or more of deep-sea species, whichever year provides the higher figure.
De mhaolú ar phointe (a) de mhír 1, i gcás gur leithdháileadh deiseanna iascaireachta ar Bhallstát de na speicis a liostaítear in Iarscríbhinn I roimh 12 Eanáir 2017, ach nár ghabh a chuid soithí 10 dtona nó níos mó de speicis domhainfharraige in aon cheann de na blianta tagartha, ní sháróidh acmhainn chomhiomlán iascaireachta an Bhallstáit sin am ar bith acmhainn chomhiomlán iascaireachta a chuid soithí in aon cheann de na trí bliana is déanaí inar ghabh ceann amháin ar a laghad dá shoithí 10 dtona nó níos mó de speicis domhainfharraige, cibé acu bliain a thugann an figiúr is airde.
