Whereas Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2057/82 provides
that the masters of fishing vessels flying the flag of, or registered in, aMember State shall keep a log-book of their fishing operations;
Whereas standardized log-books will ensure Community-wide compli-
ance 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 ortranshipped;
Whereas this information should be transmitted systematically, by
suitable means, in cases where the landing or transhipment is made morethan 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:

charts inside the cover of the log-book. These rectangles are bounded
by latitudes and longitudes corresponding to whole figures of degree
or whole figures of degree plus 30 ′for the latitudes and whole figures
of degree for the longitudes. Using a combination of figures and a
letter indicate the statistical rectangle in which most of the catches
were made (e.g. the area between 56º and 56º30 ′latitude North and

Generalrule
On entering port after each voyage, masters of all fishing vessels more
than 10 metres in length and flying the flag of, or registered in, a
Member State, or their agents, shall submit a landing declaration to the
authorities at the place of landing. In the case of transhipment or landings
outside the territory of the Community, the master shall immediately
transmit to the State whose flag his vessel is flying or in which it is
registered, the information given on the landing or transhipment
declaration. In the case of transhipment the master of the fishing vessel

transhipment declaration shall be handed to the master of the recipient
vessel. The original of the customs document T 2 M completed by the
master of the fishing vessel shall also be handed to the master of the
recipient vessel.
Informationtobeprovided
The actual quantities landed or estimates of the quantities transhipped are
to be indicated on the declaration for each species but only on the last
page used, as follows:
—Presentation of fish (reference No in log-book: (17))
‘Presentation’ means the way fish has been processed. Indicate the
nature of this processing if any: GUT for gutting, HEAD for heading,
FILLET for filleting, etc. Where no processing has taken place,
WHOLE for whole fish.
—Measurement unit for landed quantities (reference No in log-book:

3. INSTRUCTIONS CONCERNING THE LANDING/TRANSHIPMENT
DECLARATION
General rule
On entering port after each voyage, masters of all fishing vessels more
than 10 metres in length and flying the flag of, or registered in, a Member
State, or their agents, shall submit a landing declaration to the authorities
at the place of landing.
In the case of transhipment or landings outside the territory of the
Community, the master shall immediately transmit to the State whose flag
his vessel is flying or in which it is registered, the information given on the
landing or transhipment declaration.
In the case of transhipment the master of the fishing vessel shall enter the
quantities on the transhipment declaration. A copy of the transhipment
declaration shall be handed to the master of the recipient vessel. Theoriginal of the customs document T 2 M completed by the master of the
fishing vessel shall also be handed to the master of the recipient vessel.
Informationtobeprovided
Declaration of the quantities landed or transhipped. Indicate on the
declaration for each species but only on the last page used, as follows:
—ICES division/NAFO sub-area and non-member country fishing zone
Optional entry for those vessels obliged to keep a log-book: indicate
the ICES division or NAFO sub-area in which the catches were taken.
—Presentation of the fish
‘Presentation’ means the way fish has been processed. Indicate the
nature of this processing if any: GUT for gutting, HEAD for heading,
FILLET for filleting, etc. Where no processing has taken place,
WHOLE for whole fish.
—Measurement unit for landed quantities
Give the unit of weight used (e.g. basket, box, etc.) for landing fish and
the net weight in kilograms live weight of the unit used. This unit may
be different from that used in the log-book.
—Total weight by species landed/transhipped
Give the weight or quantities actually landed or transhipped for all
species.
The weight should correspond to the weight of fish as landed, i.e. after
any processing on board.1983R2807 — EN — 16.10.2001 — 008.001 — 18
