Amendment 15

ANNEX II, APPENDIX, PART B (new)

B. SPECIFICATIONS OF T90 CODEND

1. Description

a. Identification of T90

A codend of turned meshes (T90) of trawls, Danish seines or other towed nets is produced from diamond knotted netting turned 90 degrees from its usual orientation. Contrary to the main direction of the run of the netting twine in a diamond mesh codend which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the fishing gear (A), in a turned mesh codend the main run of the netting twine is parallel to this axis (B).

Image

b. Mesh size measurement

The mesh size shall be at least 110 mm and must be measured perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the codend. The meshes of the codend and extension must not be obstructed in any way by either internal or external attachments.

c. Twine thickness

The diameter of the netting twine used in a T90 codend or extension shall be no more than 5 mm for a single twine. In the codend the use of double twine with a maximum thickness of 4 mm is allowable.

2. Construction

a. A T90 codend and its extension shall be constructed from two panels of equal dimensions, with the same number of meshes in width and length, and with the mesh orientation described above, joined by two lateral selvedges. Each panel shall be constructed with non-slip knots and in such a way that the meshes remain fully open at all times when in use.

b. The number of open meshes in any circumference must be constant from the front part of the extension to the rearmost part of the codend.

c. At the point of attachment of the codend or extension piece to the tapered part of the trawl, the number of meshes in circumference of the codend or extension piece must be 50% of the last row of meshes of the tapered part of the trawl A codend and extension piece is illustrated below (figure 1).

3. Circumference

The number of meshes in any circumference in the codend and the extension piece, excluding joinings and selvedges, shall be no more than 50.

4. Joining rounds

The forward edge of the panels composing both codend and extension shall be fitted with a braided row of half meshes. The rear edge of the codend panel shall be fitted with a full row of braided meshes able to guide the codline.

5. Length of the codend

The codend shall have a length of at least 50 meshes.

6. Lifting strap

The length of the Ufting strap at the point at which it is attached to the codend shall not be less than the stretched length of the meshes in circumference of the codend multiplied by a factor of 0,6.

7. Codend buoy

A codend buoy shall be spherical in shape and have a maximum diameter of 40 cm. It shall be attached to the codline by the buoy rope. The length of the buoy rope shall be not less than two and a half times the square root of the depth.

They also welcomed the principle of a European register of quality assurance agencies based on national review and asked that the practicalities of implementation be further developed by ENQA, in cooperation with EUA, EURASHE and ESIB, with a report back to Ministers through the Bologna Follow-up Group. They furthermore underlined the importance of cooperation between nationally recognised agencies with a view to enhancing the mutual recognition of accreditation or quality assurance decisions. |
