COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1543/2000

of 29 June 2000

establishing a Community framework for the collection and management of the data needed to
conduct the common fisheries policy

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),

Whereas:

Council Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 of 20 December
1992 establishing a Community system for fisheries and
aquaculture (3) provides for regular assessments by the
Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fish-
eries (hereinafter referred to as the STECF) of the situa-
tion as regards fishery resources, and its economic impli-
cations.

The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation's
Code of Conduct
for Responsible Fisheries and the
Agreement relating to the Conservation and Manage-
ment of Straddling Fish Stocks both emphasise the need
to develop research and data collection with a view to
improving scientific knowledge.

The Community must take part in the efforts undertaken
in international waters to conserve fishery resources,
notably in accordance with the provisions adopted by
the regional fishery organisations.

the fish stocks, on the fleets and their activities and on
economic and social

issues.

The collection of this specific information should be
coordinated with statistical data.

Priorities must be established at Community level, as
must the procedures for data collection and processing
within the Community, in order to ensure that the entire
system is consistent and to optimise its cost-effectiveness
by creating a stable multiannual framework.

Scientific analyses primarily require aggregated data
obtained by grouping and processing the detailed data at
an appropriate level, rather than basic detailed data.

in particular
The existing Regulations in this area,
Council Regulations (EEC) No 3759/92 (4),
(EEC) No
2847/93 (5), and (EC) No 685/95 (6), (EC) No 779/97 (7),
(EC) No 104/2000 (8) and Commission Regulations (EC)
No 2090/98 (9),
(EC) No 2091/98 (10) and (EC) No
2092/98 (11)
include provisions on the collection and
management of data relating to fishing vessels, their
activities and catches and on price monitoring, all of
which must be taken into account if a comprehensive
system is to be established.

The existing Regulations do not cover all the activities
for which data should be collected with a view to
complete and reliable scientific analysis. The Regulations
currently relate to data on an individual or global level
but not data aggregated at the appropriate level
for
scientific evaluation. New provisions should therefore be
introduced to produce multiannual sets of aggregated
data that can be accessed by the appropriate authorised
users.

To conduct the scientific evaluations needed for the
common fisheries policy (hereinafter referred to as the
CFP), complete data must be collected on the biology of

The scientific community, those working in the fishing
industry and the other groups concerned must be
involved in drawing up the rules on data collection and
management. The appropriate bodies in which to gather
the opinions required are the STECF, set up by Article
16 of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 and the Advisory
Committee on Fisheries (hereinafter referred to as the
ACF), set up by Commission Decision (EEC) No 128/
71 (1).

The Community programmes to collect and manage
fisheries data should be implemented under the direct
responsibility of the Member States. They should accord-
ingly draw up their national programmes in line with
the Community programmes.

The implementation of
the national programmes to
collect and manage fisheries data will require significant
expenditure. The benefit of these programmes is only
fully realised at Community level. There should therefore
be provision for a Community contribution to the
Member States' costs. This contribution is governed by
Decision 2000/439/EC (2).

The aggregated data referred to in this Regulation have
to be fed into computerised databases so that they are
accessible to authorised users and can be exchanged. The
transmission of specific scientific data is provided for by
international organisations,
Inter-
national Council for the Exploration of the Sea and
regional fisheries organisations.

In order to facilitate implementation of these provisions,
there should be a procedure for close cooperation
between Member States and the Commission within a
management committee.

Article 4

Member States shall collect data:

and changes in fishing power. To this end, summaries shall
be prepared using the data collected under Council Regula-

needed;

2. making it possible to estimate the total volume of catches
per stock, including discards where appropriate and, where
necessary,
to classify these catches by vessel group,
geographical area and time period. The catches shall be
subject to biological sampling. In addition, Member States
shall undertake scientific research at sea to evaluate the
abundance and distribution of stocks independently of the
data provided by the commercial fisheries in the case of
stocks for which such evaluations are possible and useful;

3. allowing the prices associated with the various landings, and
their formation, to be monitored. The data collected under
Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 shall be grouped and

On the basis of information supplied by the Member
States, and having consulted the STECF, the Commission shall

Minimum and extended programmes

D e f i n i t i o n o f

t h e m i n i m u m p r o g r a m m e

(a) The minimum programme shall

include:

— the monitoring of fishing effort through the collection of data on the following parameters:

— number of vessels

— gross tonnage (GT)

— engine power (kW)

— age of vessel

— gear used

— time spent at sea during the year,

— the monitoring of commercial fisheries through the collection of data of landings and discards, biological sampling

and surveys, as follows:

— the landings and discards for stocks listed in Annex II

— biological sampling in order to estimate catch composition and biological parameters such as growth, sex,

maturity and fecundity for the stocks listed in Annex II

— surveys in the geographical areas listed in Annex III and the objectives of which will be defined in accordance

with the procedure laid down in Article 9(2),

— the monitoring of the prices at first sale for species listed in Annex II for the geographical areas referred to in

Annex III,

accounting headings or groups of headings listed in Annex IV;

(b) the level of aggregation of the information collected within the minimum programme shall be defined in accordance

with the procedure laid down in Article 9(2).

The level of aggregation shall be defined on the basis of

— time-space grids, defining the size of the reference sectors and the time intervals to be used, which, regarding the

fishing effort, shall be consistent with the existing Regulations,

— identification of relevant groups of vessels and/or ports, as well as relevant sectors of the fish processing industry;
as regards effort and economic data, the vessel groups shall correspond to the segments or, where appropriate,
subsegments of the fourth multiannual guidance programmes (MAGPs) ( 1997 to 2001 ) and be consistent across
the headings;

(c) where appropriate, the objectives quantified in terms of the precision of the evaluation or the intensity of the

sampling programmes shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 9(2).

t h e e x t e n d e d p r o g r a m m e

(d) The extended programme shall

include (in addition to the minimum programme):

— the monitoring of fishing effort through the collection of data on the same parameters as defined for the
minimum programme, but to be adjusted to specific fisheries taking into account the target species, the gear used
and other equipment. The additional parameters shall be defined in accordance with the procedure laid down in
Article 9(2),

— the monitoring of commercial fisheries through the collection of data of landings and discards, biological sampling

and surveys, as follows:

— the landings and discards for stocks listed in Annex II, with a lower level of aggregation and with a higher

sampling density to be defined in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 9(2)

— biological sampling for the stocks listed in Annex II, but less aggregated and with a higher sampling density to

be defined in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 9(2)

— surveys in the areas listed in Annex III, but with an extended list of surveys and/or increased sampling density

and whose objectives will be defined in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 9(2);
