of 23 May 2012

laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EU) No 1236/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down a scheme of control and enforcement applicable in the area covered by the Convention on future multilateral cooperation in the North-East Atlantic fisheries

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1236/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 December 2010 laying down a scheme of control and enforcement applicable in the area covered by the Convention on future multilateral cooperation in the North-East Atlantic fisheries and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 2791/1999 (1), and in particular Articles 4(5), 5(2), 8(4), 9(4) and 10(3), Article 11, Articles 12(2) and 16(2), Article 18(3) and (4), Article 19, and Articles 20(9), 24(4), 27(1) and 45(2) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Regulation (EU) No 1236/2010 lays down certain specific control measures to monitor fishing activities of the Union in the Area covered by the North-East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC) and supplements control measures provided for in Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 of 20 November 2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy, amending Regulations (EC) No 847/96, (EC) No 2371/2002, (EC) No 811/2004, (EC) No 768/2005, (EC) No 2115/2005, (EC) No 2166/2005, (EC) No 388/2006, (EC) No 509/2007, (EC) No 676/2007, (EC) No 1098/2007, (EC) No 1300/2008, (EC) No 1342/2008 and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 2847/93, (EC) No 1627/94 and (EC) No 1966/2006 (2). Detailed rules should be laid down for the application of Regulation (EU) No 1236/2010. The Annexes to several Recommendations establishing a scheme of control and enforcement (the ‘Scheme’) applicable to fishing vessels operating in the waters of the Convention Area which lie beyond the waters under the fisheries jurisdiction of the Contracting Parties adopted by NEAFC set out the format for communicating data and models for certain inspection tools and should be transposed in Union law.

(2) Since Regulation (EU) No 1236/2010 lays down a new scheme of control and enforcement, Commission Regulation (EC) No 1085/2000 of 15 May 2000 laying down detailed rules for the application of control measures applicable in the area covered by the Convention on Future Multilateral Cooperation in the North-East Atlantic Fisheries (3) should be repealed and replaced by this Regulation.

(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,
