COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1543/2000

of 29 June 2000

establishing a Community framework for the collection and management of the data needed to conduct the common fisheries policy







THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ( 1 ), Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament ( 2 ), Whereas: (1) Council Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 of 20 December 1992 establishing a Community system for fisheries and aquaculture ( 3 ) provides for regular assessments by the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (hereinafter referred to as the STECF) of the situation as regards fishery resources, and its economic implications. (2) The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation's Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and the Agreement relating to the Conservation and Management of Straddling Fish Stocks both emphasise the need to develop research and data collection with a view to improving scientific knowledge. (3) The Community must take part in the efforts undertaken in international waters to conserve fishery resources, notably in accordance with the provisions adopted by the regional fishery organisations. (4) To conduct the scientific evaluations needed for the common fisheries policy (hereinafter referred to as the CFP), complete data must be collected on the biology of the fish stocks, on the fleets and their activities and on economic and social issues. (5) The collection of this specific information should be coordinated with statistical data. (6) Priorities must be established at Community level, as must the procedures for data collection and processing within the Community, in order to ensure that the entire system is consistent and to optimise its cost-effectiveness by creating a stable multiannual framework. (7) Scientific analyses primarily require aggregated data obtained by grouping and processing the detailed data at an appropriate level, rather than basic detailed data. (8) The existing Regulations in this area, in particular Council Regulations (EEC) No 3759/92 ( 4 ), (EEC) No 2847/93 ( 5 ), and (EC) No 685/95 ( 6 ), (EC) No 779/97 ( 7 ), (EC) No 104/2000 ( 8 ) and Commission Regulations (EC) No 2090/98 ( 9 ), (EC) No 2091/98 ( 10 ) and (EC) No 2092/98 ( 11 ) include provisions on the collection and management of data relating to fishing vessels, their activities and catches and on price monitoring, all of which must be taken into account if a comprehensive system is to be established. (9) The existing Regulations do not cover all the activities for which data should be collected with a view to complete and reliable scientific analysis. The Regulations currently relate to data on an individual or global level but not data aggregated at the appropriate level for scientific evaluation. New provisions should therefore be introduced to produce multiannual sets of aggregated data that can be accessed by the appropriate authorised users. (10) The evaluation of the sector's resources and economic situation requires biological data to be collected covering all catches, including discards, fish stock evaluations independent of the commercial fisheries for a set of resources, the collection of information on catch capacities and the fishing efforts used, and data explaining price formation and enabling the economic situation of fishing enterprises and the processing industry to be assessed, as well as job trends in these sectors. (11) While priority should be given to the data strictly required for scientific evaluations, an extended programme to improve these evaluations should also be encouraged. (12) The scientific community, those working in the fishing industry and the other groups concerned must be involved in drawing up the rules on data collection and management. The appropriate bodies in which to gather the opinions required are the STECF, set up by Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 and the Advisory Committee on Fisheries (hereinafter referred to as the ACF), set up by Commission Decision (EEC) No 128/71 ( 12 ). (13) The Community programmes to collect and manage fisheries data should be implemented under the direct responsibility of the Member States. They should accordingly draw up their national programmes in line with the Community programmes. (14) The implementation of the national programmes to collect and manage fisheries data will require significant expenditure. The benefit of these programmes is only fully realised at Community level. There should therefore be provision for a Community contribution to the Member States' costs. This contribution is governed by Decision 2000/439/EC ( 13 ). (15) The aggregated data referred to in this Regulation have to be fed into computerised databases so that they are accessible to authorised users and can be exchanged. The transmission of specific scientific data is provided for by international organisations, in particular the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea and regional fisheries organisations. (16) In order to facilitate implementation of these provisions, there should be a procedure for close cooperation between Member States and the Commission within a management committee. (17) The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission ( 14 ). (18) The conduct of the collection and management programmes should be regularly evaluated. The possibility of extending the activities covered should be examined in the medium term, Whereas: HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:







Article 1

This Regulation establishes a Community framework for the collection and management of the data needed to evaluate the situation as regards fishery resources and the fishing industry.

The Member States shall be responsible for collecting the data.

Article 2

For the purposes of this Regulation:

(a) ‘multiannual datasets’ shall mean data measuring the changes in a parameter over a number of years;

(b) ‘aggregated data’ shall mean the output resulting from the processing of data from a group of vessels for a given period and, where appropriate, for a specific geographical sector, with a view to obtaining an estimate representative of the whole;

(c) ‘time-space grid’ shall mean the combination of a geographical area cut into defined sectors and a defined time interval.







TITLE I

General principles of data collection and management

Article 3

1. Member States shall establish multiannual aggregated and science-based datasets which incorporate biological and economic information. The methods used shall be stable in time and standardised across the Community and shall comply with relevant international provisions.

2. Without prejudice to their current data collection obligations under Community law, and in particular the Regulations referred to in points 1 and 3 of Article 4, the Member States shall:

(a) establish, based on sampling where necessary, data collection programmes supplementary to these obligations, or for spheres of activity not covered by these obligations;

(b) specify the procedures that will produce aggregated data;

(c) ensure that the data used to produce aggregated data will remain available for any recalculations, whenever needed.

Article 4

Member States shall collect data:

1. needed to evaluate the activities of the various fishing fleets and changes in fishing power. To this end, summaries shall be prepared using the data collected under Council Regulations (EEC) No 2847/93, (EC) No 685/95 and (EC) No 779/97 and Commission Regulations (EC) No 2090/98, (EC) No 2091/98 and (EC) No 2092/98, and additional information) shall be collected by the Member States, as needed;

2. making it possible to estimate the total volume of catches per stock, including discards where appropriate and, where necessary, to classify these catches by vessel group, geographical area and time period. The catches shall be subject to biological sampling. In addition, Member States shall undertake scientific research at sea to evaluate the abundance and distribution of stocks independently of the data provided by the commercial fisheries in the case of stocks for which such evaluations are possible and useful;

3. allowing the prices associated with the various landings, and their formation, to be monitored. The data collected under Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 shall be grouped and summarised. Additional data shall be collected to reflect all landings at ports inside and outside the Community, as well as imports;

4. needed to evaluate the economic state of the industry on the basis of studies and samples sufficiently large to safeguard the reliability of the estimate, such data being: (a) as regards the fishing fleets: — income from sales and other revenue (for example, subsidies, interest received), — production costs, — data enabling the jobs at sea to be counted and classified; (b) as regards the fish processing industry: — production expressed in volume and value terms for product categories to be determined, — the number of enterprises, and the number of jobs, — changes in production costs, and their composition.
