SL 2   SL EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM  
The European Community is at the forefront in  introducing modern tech nologies in order to 
improve management and monitoring of fisher ies activities. Since 1992 it promoted the 
introduction of the satellite-based vessel monito ring system (VMS) as a tool to efficiently 
control its fishing fleet, irresp ective of where it is operating, and third country fleets when 
operating within Community waters. After a series of pilot projects, the fitting on board of a vessel localisation device became mandatory for cer tain categories of vessels. As of 1 January 
2005, save few exceptions, all Community vessel s greater than 15 metres in length overall 
will be subject to VMS and cannot fish without an operational satellite localisation device on 
board. 
A further step towards the utilisation of m odern technologies is now proposed. The rational 
exploitation of fisheries res ources, which is one of the main  aims of the Common Fisheries 
Policy, requires accurate and timely reporting of  information relating to fishing activities, 
such as quantities of catches on board, species , time spent at fishing, the area where catches 
have been taken and the gears used. This esse ntial information is currently collected by the 
masters of the fishing vessels by recording it  with a pen on a paperbound logbook. The same 
procedure is used when catches are tr anshipped, landed, transported or sold. 
As a consequence, in order to be gathered, analysed and transmitted to the authorities in 
charge of managerial or control tasks, this info rmation needs to be digitalised. This process is 
slow, costly and conducive to typing mistakes which can hinder the quality of the data. 
In order to make it more efficient, accurate  and less expensive, the Commission favours an 
electronic recording and repor ting system which will replace the current manual and 
cumbersome process. It will be designed to al leviate the administrative burden on the masters 
and the main actors of the commercial chain and dramatically simplify the tasks of the national authorities.  
Pilot projects on electronic recording and repo rting of information relating to fisheries 
activities have been carried out in recent ye ars. Some have already been conducted with 
conclusive results, othe rs are still ongoing. There is no do ubt about the feasibility of the 
electronic recording of fishing activities. Specifi c software is already available on the market. 
What is necessary now is a legislative te xt laying down the minimal requirements. 
The setting of technical specifi cations, which are required in or der to satisfy Community and 
third countries legislation, is the aim of an international pr oject on secured and harmonised 
electronic logbook. This proj ect is currently being carried out and specific ations will be made 
available in 2005. A Commission Re gulation will amend the current legislation on logbook 
and other recording requirements accordingly. 
With a view to facilitating the introduction of this techno logy, the Community may grant 
financial assistance to fishermen as well as to  national authorities und er the framework of 
Decision 2004/465/EC
1, as it did in the past in order to  promote the setting up of the vessel 
monitoring systems. 
                                                 
1 Council Decision on a Community financial contribution towards Member States fisheries control 
programmes (JO L 157, 30.4.2004, p. 114). 
 
SL 3   SL Furthermore, the Commission proposes to take advantage of the Vessel Monitoring System 
(VMS) in order to track fishing vessels operati ng in a given fishing zone which may be in 
breach of national or Community le gislation. Remotely sensed images may be used to detect 
such vessels. This technology is not new since it is  already in use in other fields. Pilot projects 
focused on fishing activities have  been carried out and they have proved to be successful. The 
objective is to cross-ch eck the status of fishing vessels detected, thanks to this technology 
(Vessel Detection System), with position reports from VMS. Fisheries Monitoring Centres may wish to further investig ate as regards those vessels which do not transmit position 
reports.

Predlog 
UREDBA SVETA 
o elektronskem zapisovanju in poro čanju ribolovnih aktivnosti ter 
o daljinskem zaznavanju 
SVET EVROPSKE UNIJE JE – 
ob upoštevanju Pogodbe o ustanovitv i Evropske skupnosti in zlasti člena 37 Pogodbe, 
ob upoštevanju predloga Komisije, ob upoštevanju mnenja Evropskega parlamenta, ob upoštevanju naslednjega: (1) Uredba Sveta (ES) št. 2371/2002
2 uvaja okvir za zagotova ljanje ohranjanja in 
trajnostnega izkoriš čanja ribolovnih vi rov v okviru skupne ribiške politike. 
(2) Cilji ohranjanja in trajnostnega izkoriš čanja ribolovnih virov se  dosegajo s pogoji, ki 
veljajo za dostop do voda in virov, in sice r z omejitvami ulova in ribolovnega napora 
in s sprejetjem tehni čnih ukrepov, ki so povezani z ribolovnimi tehnikami in orodji ter 
velikostjo ulova. 
(3) Zato je treba za temeljito vodenje mož nosti ribolova in za doseganje teh ciljev 
spremljati ribolovne aktivnosti z najustreznejšimi na čini. Nadzor nad koli čino ulova se 
pretežno izvaja z zbiranjem podatkov o ulovu, iztovarjanju, pretova rjanju, transportu 
in prodaji, medtem ko se nadzor nad ribol ovnim naporom pretežno izvaja z zbiranjem 
podatkov o zna čilnostih plovila, času, porabljenem za ribolov ter o uporabljenih 
orodjih. Poleg tega tehnologije daljinskega zaznavanja omogo čajo nadzornim 
organom za ribolov, da spremlja jo prisotnost plovil na dolo čenem obmo čju. 
Kombinacija vseh teh na činov pove ča natančnost podatkov. 
(4) Člena 22(1) in 23(3) Uredbe št. 2371/ 2002 navajata, da Svet leta 2004 odlo či o 
obveznosti elektronskega  zapisovanja in sporo čanja pomembnih podatkov v zvezi z 
ribolovnimi aktivnostmi, vklju čno glede iztovarjanj ali pretov arjanj ulova ter potrdila 
o prodaji in obveznosti vzpostavitve daljinskega zaznavanja. 
(5) Pilotne projekte o elektronskem zapisovanju in sporo čanju ter tudi o daljinskem 
zaznavanju so države članice in druge države izvedle v pr eteklih letih. Izkazali so se za 
utemeljene in stroškovno u činkovite.

SL 5   SL (6) Zato je za namen nadzora treba uvesti pogoj e za uporabo elektronske ga zapisovanja in 
poročanja kot tudi daljinskega zaznavanja; 
(7) Ukrepe, potrebne za izvajanje te uredbe, je treba sprejeti v skladu s Sklepom Sveta 
1999/468/ES z dne 28. junija 1999 o dolo čitvi postopkov za uresni čevanje Komisiji

dnevnika, deklaracije o iztovarjanju in potrdila o prodaji iz odstavkov 1 in 2. 
4. Podrobni predpisi za izvajanje odsta vkov 1 in 2 se sprejm ejo po postopku iz člena 
30(2) Uredbe (ES) št. 2371/2002. Ti predpisi lahko predvidijo izvzetje iz obveznosti, 
določenih v odstavkih 1 in 2 tega člena, kadar se ta izvzetja lahko upravi čijo z
