of 22 September 1983

laying down detailed rules for recording information on Member States' catches of fish







THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 170/83 of 25 January 1983 establishing a Community system for the conservation and management of fishery resources ( 1 ), Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2057/82 of 29 July 1982 establishing certain control measures for fishing activities by vessels of the Member States ( 2 ), and in particular Article 13 thereof, Whereas Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2057/82 provides that the masters of fishing vessels flying the flag of, or registered in, a Member State shall keep a log-book of their fishing operations; Whereas standardized log-books will ensure Community-wide compliance with the conservation measures adopted and should make for more effective monitoring of current rules and facilitate the scientific analysis of estimates of fish stocks and their exploitation; Whereas, to guarantee compliance with the quotas allocated to each Member State, a landing or transhipment declaration should be completed by the master stating the quantities actually landed or transhipped; Whereas this information should be transmitted systematically, by suitable means, in cases where the landing or transhipment is made more than 15 days after the catch; Whereas the Management Committee for Fishery Resources has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:







▼C2

Article 1

1. The masters of Community fishing vessels whose length overall exceeds 10 metres shall record the information referred to in Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 in their logbook in accordance with the model shown in Annex I, for all fishing zones except those comprised in NAFO 1 and ICES V(a) and XIV, and in accordance with the model shown in Annex II, for the latter zones. However, the model shown in Annex IIa may be used for fisheries operations carried on exclusively in the Mediterranean by the masters of Community fishing vessels whose length overall does not exceed 18 metres and which make daily fishing trips in a single fishing zone.

2. The logbook shown in Annex I, II or IIa shall also be kept in the manner prescribed in paragraph 1 when such vessels are operating in the waters of a non-member country, unless the non-member country in question specifically requires a different kind of logbook.

3. For fisheries operations in the Mediterranean, any amount greater than 50 kg of live-weight equivalent of any species retained on board shall be recorded in the logbook.

▼M8

4. The codes given in Annex VI and the Three-Alpha codes established by the FAO for fish species shall be used for indicating, under the appropriate headings of the logbook, the fishing gear used and the species caught.

▼M2

Article 1 a

1. Masters of Community fishing vessels authorized to carry out fishing activities in the areas, hereinafter referred to as effort zones, defined in Article 1 of Council Regulation (EC) No 685/95 ( 3 ) ►M3 and in Article 1 of Council Regulation (EC) No 779/97 ( 4 ), ◄ shall record the information referred to in Article 19 e of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 ( 5 ) in their logbooks in accordance with the model shown in Annex I.

2. Where masters of Community fishing vessels cross an effort zone where they are authorized to fish without carrying out fishing activities they shall record the date and time of entry and exit to and from that effort zone in their logbook.

3. The record shall be made in accordance with the instructions set out in Annex IV a.

▼B

Article 2

1. The landing declaration provided for by Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 2057/82 shall be completed as shown in Annex I or Annex III.

However, if the landing takes place in a port of the Member State whose flag the vessel is flying or in which it is registered, another form specified by that Member State may be used provided that it contains at least the information set out in Annex III.

▼M5

However, the model shown in Annex IIa may be used if the landing takes place in a port of another Mediterranean coastal Member State, by the masters of Community fishing vessels whose length overall does not exceed 18 metres and which make daily fishing trips in a single fishing zone.

▼B

2. The transhipment declaration provided for by Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2057/82 shall be completed as shown in Annex I, except for the waters in NAFO 1 and ICES V a) and XIV. In these waters the landing or transhipment declaration as shown in Annex III shall be used.

Article 3

The information communicated by the master pursuant to Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2057/82 to the authorities of the State whose flag his vessel is flying or in which it is registered, where any landing or transhipment takes place more than 15 days after the catch, shall include:

— the quantities in kilograms of each species caught, transhipped or landed since the last communication,

— the ICES/NAFO ►A1 /CECAF ◄ zone where the catches were made; catches made in the waters of a non-member country or outside the sovereignty or jurisdiction of any State shall be indicated separately.

The information shall be communicated every 15 days from the day on which the first catch was taken, in accordance with the provisions of Annex VIII.

▼M2

Article 3 a

Where, pursuant to Article 19 c of Regulation (EC) No 2847/93, the master of a fishing vessel transmits a message concerning fishing effort by radio, transmission shall take place via one of the radio stations listed in Annex VIII a.

The names, addresses and telex, telephone and fax numbers of the competent authorities referred to in the second indent of Article 19c (1) are shown in Annex VIII b.

▼B

Article 4

The log-book and the landing or transhipment declaration may be checked by a fisheries enforcement officer of the competent Member State, in accordance with Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2057/82, to ensure compliance with all relevant conservation and control provisions, including those contained in this Regulation.

Article 5

1. Where the instructions set out in Annex IV state that the application of a rule is optional, the Member State whose flag a vessel is flying or in which it is registered is entitled to require that its master abide by the rule in question.

2. The permitted margin of tolerance in estimates of the quantities, in kilograms, of fish subject to a TAC that are retained on board shall be 20 %.

Where such fish are held in boxes, baskets or other containers, the precise number of boxes, baskets or other containers used shall be recorded.

Article 6

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
