COM(95) 322 final 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) 
establishing the lists of species to be recorded in the fisheries logbook and landing 
declaration 
(presented by the Commission) 

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
The present proposal for a Council Regulation establishes the lists of species to be recorded in 
the fisheries logbook and landings declaration. Masters of fishing vessels shall keep a logbook 
of their operation and submit landing declarations of their catches in accordance with Council 
Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 establishing a control regime applicable to the Common Fisheries 
Policy. In accordance with Art. 6(2) of this Regulation the species to be entered in the logbook 
and the landing declaration shall be those subject to TACs or quotas as well as others included 
in the lists to be decided by the Council. 
The present proposal establishes the complete list of species to be recorded as well as the 
procedure for the adoption of simplified lists applicable to vessels operating in specific zones. 
The annex sets out the complete list of species to be recorded. This list includes species subject 
to TAC and quota as well as species subject to technical conservation measures provided for in 
Regulations (EEC) No 3094 and 1866/86, species subject to international measures for the 
conservation and protection of living marine resources and species of particular scientific or 
commercial interest. 
In order to facilitate the recording of species by fishermen operating exclusively in specific 
zones, it is provided for the adoption by simplified lists for fisheries limited to specific zones. 
The species set out in simplified lists shall be drawn from the annex to the proposed Regulation. 
Simplified lists will only contain the species relevant for the vessels concerned. 
Catch reporting and landing declaration are the basis for fisheries management and enforcement 
of conservation measures. 
This proposal should contribute to systematic recording of regulated and highly migratory 
species. The information derived from such recording will facilitate better scientific analysis 
of the exploitation of marine resources. The measures concerning regulation of exploitation 
rates of stocks are drawn up in the light of these analysis. 
The present list of species to be recorded is without prejudice to the provisions on recording of 
species to be agreed in the framework of fisheries Agreements concluded between the 
Community and third countries, and international Conventions to which the Community is a 
Party.
