COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2091/98

of 30 September 1998

concerning the segmentation of the Community fishing fleet and fishing effort
in relation to the multiannual guidance programmes

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92
of 20 December 1992, establishing a Community system
of fisheries and aquaculture (1), as amended by Regulation
(EC) No 1181/98 (2), and in particular Article 13 thereof,

Whereas in accordance with Article 5 of Council Regula-
tion (EC) No 3699/93 of 21 December 1993 laying down
the criteria and arrangements
regarding Community
structural assistance in the fisheries and aquaculture
sector and the processing and marketing of its prod-
ucts (3), as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No
25/97 (4), multiannual guidance programmes
the
period 1997/2001 were adopted by Commission Deci-
sions 98/119/EC to 98/131/EC (5); whereas the data neces-
to follow these programmes must be
sary in order
forwarded to the Commission,
including fishing effort
data for individual vessels or aggregated by segments of
the fleet or by fisheries, depending on the particular cases;

for

State in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EC)
No 2090/98.

The segment codes to be used are those shown in Annex
I.

The vessels concerned shall be identified by the internal
number recorded in the Community register of fishing
vessels, as referred to in Annex I of Regulation (EC) No
2090/98.

Article 2

For each segment for which a Member State submits to
the Commission a programme of fishing effort limitation,
either by fishery in accordance with Article 6 of Council
Decision 97/413/EC (7), or by segment in order to make
up any backlog from the previous multiannual guidance
programme partly by reductions in activity, the following
procedures shall be adopted:

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 2090/98 (6),
establishes the basis for the transmission of data to the
fishing vessel register of the Community;

(cid:190) the Member State shall collect the individual data on
the fishing effort of the vessels in the segment or
fishery,

Whereas the communication of data on the segmentation
of the fishing fleet and on the fishing effort by fishery
should refer to the data contained in the fishing vessel
register of the Community;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are
in accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The segment to which each vessel entering the fishing
fleet belongs or any change to segment to which an
existing vessel belongs must be communicated to the
fishing vessel register of the Community by the Member

data or data aggregated by segment or fishery shall be
effected annually by 31 March at the latest for the
preceding calendar year in accordance with tables A
and B in Annex II to this Regulation.

Article 3

For the segments using active gear not covered by the
programmes referred to in Article 2, Member States shall
collect and process the minimum data provided for in
Annex II needed to ascertain that the level of activity for
these do not increase, or, if they increase, to evaluate the
increase. To this end, the following procedures shall be
applied:

(cid:190) the minimum data provided for in Annex II permit-
ting the evolution of fishing activity for the segments
concerned to be monitored shall be collected and
processed by the Member State. Details of

sampling methods selected for each segment of the
fleet, together with the values of the statistical para-

meters describing the precision of the estimates of
fishing effort, shall be communicated to the Commis-
sion at the time of their application. Any other proce-
dure giving results of comparable precision shall be
acceptable provided it has been approved by the
Commission,

(cid:190) the results shall be forwarded to the Commission

Article 5

Corrections to erroneous information shall be forwarded
to the Commission within 30 days of the date on which
the error is detected.

(cid:190) if a Member State establishes an increase in activity
for a given segment, it shall calculate the effect of this
increase on the fishing effort for this segment and
shall inform the Commission of the results in accord-
ance with Article 2.

Article 6

This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day
following its publication in the Official Journal of the
European Communities.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member
