(1)
Pursuant to Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 199/2008, a multi-annual Community programme for the collection, management and use of data in the fisheries sector is to be drawn up for three-year periods.

In addition, regular catch monitoring of recreational fisheries involving catches of shark species is suggested.
(3)
On the basis of that Communication, the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) has recommended that data concerning such commercial fisheries and recreational fisheries be included in the list of fishing activity by region and in the list of biological variables for which data are to be collected.
(4)
The multi-annual Community programme for the period 2011-2013 should therefore provide for the collection, management and use of data on sharks in addition to the data already required in the programming period 2009-2010 under Commission Decision 2008/949/EC (3).
(5)
For reasons of legal certainty, Decision 2008/949/EC should be repealed with effect from 1 January 2011.

Whereas, by letter dated 16 April 1982, Belgium has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Aminco - Spectrofluorometer, model J4-8970', ordered on 12 January 1979 and to be used for the pharmacokinetic study of various medicines in human beings and also for the study of calcium transport through the membranes of the smooth muscular cells of the wall of the vessels and of the intestine, should be considered to be a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
