(1)For the quota period commencing on 1 November 2008, an eligible licence in respect of the fishery may be allocated a number of pipi units calculated in accordance with this clause.

(2)First, the following formula is to be applied:

where—

A is the number of pipi units to be allocated to the licence

B is the catch history of the person who held that licence on 31 July 2007

C is the sum of the catch histories of all persons who held eligible licences in respect of the fishery and the Marine Scalefish Fishery on 31 July 2007.

(3)Second, if the conditions of the licence are varied under clause 7 during quota period 1 so as to increase the unit entitlement under the licence and the variation is not expressed to be only for the balance of that quota period, a number of pipi units calculated in accordance with the formula set out below must be added to the number of pipi units to be allocated to the licence under subclause (2) (and this calculation and addition must be made for each such variation of the conditions during quota period 1).

where—

D is the number of pipi units to be added

E is the number of pipi units by which the unit entitlement under the licence is increased during quota period 1 as a result of a variation of licence conditions that is not expressed to be only for the balance of quota period 1

F is the number of pipi units allocated to the licence under clause 4 for quota period 1

G is the number of pipi units to be allocated to the licence under subclause (2).

(4)Third, if the conditions of the licence are varied under clause 7 during quota period 1 so as to decrease the unit entitlement under the licence and the variation is not expressed to be only for the balance of that quota period, a number of pipi units calculated in accordance with the formula set out below must be deducted from the number of pipi units to be allocated to the licence under subclause (2) (and this calculation and deduction must be made for each such variation of the conditions during quota period 1).

where—

D is the number of pipi units to be deducted

E is the number of pipi units by which the unit entitlement under the licence is decreased during quota period 1 as a result of a variation of licence conditions that is not expressed to be only for the balance of quota period 1

F is the number of pipi units allocated to the licence under clause 4 for quota period 1

G is the number of pipi units to be allocated to the licence under subclause (2).

(5)Fourth, in the case of a licence specified in column 1 of the table below, the number of pipi units specified alongside in column 2 is to be added to the number of pipi units to be allocated to the licence, as calculated under the preceding provisions of this clause, to arrive at the total number of pipi units that may be allocated to that licence for the quota period commencing on 1 November 2008.
