HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Each Member State shall submit to the Commission data on the quan-
tity and average price of fishery products landed by Community fishingvessels and by EFTA vessels in eachcalendar monthin its territorytaking due account of Council Regulation (Euratom, EEC) No 1588/90 of 11 June 1990 on the transmission of data subject to statistical
confidentiality to the Statistical Office of the European Commu-
nities (

For the purposes of this Regulation, ‘landings of fishery products’ shall
be:
— the products discharged by fishing vessels or other components of
the fishing fleet,
— the products discharged by vessels of Member States in non-
Community ports and covered by Document T2M annexed toCommission Regulation (EEC) No 137/79 (
6), and
— the products transhipped to vessels of third countries from Commu-
nity fishing vessels and other components of the Community fishingfleet within the territory of that Member State.
The Member States shall ensure that, except where derogations are
granted in accordance with Article 5 (4), the date submitted shall coverall landings of the fishery products listed in Annex I in that calendarmonth. However, sampling techniques may be used to estimate up to10 % by weight of the fishery products landed in that month. Thesesampling techniques shall be reported under the provisions of Articles
5 (1) and 5 (2).
Article 2

Units
Weight:The weight recorded shall be the weight of the product as landed.
The weight should be recorded in tonnes with one place of decimals.
Average price: The average price is to be reported in national currency per
tonne. For products not immediately sold the average price should be estimated,
using an appropriate method.
Destination
Human consumption: Included here are all products which are sold at first sale
for human consumption or which are landed under contract or other agreement
for human consumption. Excluded are quantities destined for human consump-
tion but which, at the moment of first sale, due to market conditions, hygiene
regulations or similar causes, are withdrawn from the market for human
consumption.
Industrial uses: Included here are all products specifically landed for reduction
to meal and oil or for consumption by animals plus quantifies which, although
originally destined for human consumption, are not sold for this purpose at first

Presentation
Filletsrefers to strips of flesh cut parallel to the backbone of the fish and
consisting of the right or left side of the fish, provided that the head, viscera,
fins (dorsal, anal, caudal, ventral, pectoral) and bones (vertebrae or large back-
bone, ventral or costal, bronchial or stirrup bones, etc.) have been removed and
the two sides are not connected, for example by the back or stomach.
Whole fish refers to ungutted fish.
Cleaned refers to squid where the arms, head and internal organs have been
removed from the body.
Frozen fish are fish that have been subjected to freezing in a manner to preserve
the inherent quality of the fish by reducing the average temperature to — 18 º C
or lower and which are then kept at a temperature of — 18 º C or lower.
Fresh fish are fish that have not been preserved, cured, frozen or otherwise
treated other than chilled. They are generally presented whole or gutted.
Salted fish are fish often in gutted and headed form, that are preserved in salt or
brine.

State and covered by document T2M referred to in Commission Regulation
(EEC) No 137/79. Also to be included are products transhipped to vessels of
