COUNCIL DECISION

of 28 May 2001

on a financial contribution by the Community to certain expenditure incurred by the Member
States in implementing the control, inspection and surveillance systems applicable to the common
fisheries policy

(2001/431/EC)

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:

(1)

(4)

(5)

The common fisheries policy, which guarantees the
long-term existence of fishery stocks and thus employ-
ment in the sector, can achieve its objectives only if its
rules are complied with and effectively controlled.

Those objectives and rules are primarily established by
Council Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 of 20 December
1992 establishing a Community system for fisheries and
aquaculture (3) and by Council Regulation (EEC) No
2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control
system applicable to the common fisheries policy (4).

By guaranteeing the implementation of
the control,
inspection and surveillance systems applicable to the
common fisheries policy, the Member States discharge
an obligation of Community interest.

For some Member States the scale of the control task is
particularly onerous and may be disproportionately
burdensome.

The Community should therefore make a financial
inspection and
contribution towards certain control,

(2) Opinion delivered on 5 April 2001 (not yet published in the Offi-

cial Journal).

surveillance expenditure incurred by some Member
States.

impact of the Community
Given the positive overall
financial
contribution under Council Decision 89/
631/EEC (5), for 1991 to 1995, and Council Decision
95/527/EC (6), for 1996 to 2000, a follow-on to those
Decisions is required, but not a simple renewal. Certain
expenditure should therefore be reduced in order to
permit more active assistance in other areas.

A period of three years, from 2001 to 2003, for the
this Decision allows the Community
application of
contribution to be set for a long enough period but
without prejudging any modifications of the common
fisheries policy that may be decided under Article 14 of
Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92.

A financial reference, within the meaning of point 34 of
the Interinstitutional Agreement of 6 May 1999 between
the European Parliament, the Council and the Commis-
sion on budgetary discipline and improvement of the
budgetary procedure (7), is inserted in this Decision for
the entire duration of the period for which financial
assistance is to be provided, without thereby affecting
the powers of the budgetary authority as defined by the
Treaty.

The corresponding financial resources are entered as
the
annual appropriations in the General Budget of
European Union.

The financial contribution by the Community is condi-
tional on the recipient Member State attaining a satisfac-
tory standard of control both at sea and on land.

Recipient Member States must assess the objectives and
the impact of their expenditure on control programmes,
both annually and in the aggregate at the end of the
three-year period (2001 to 2003).

The measures necessary for the implementation of this
Decision should be adopted in accordance with Council
Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down
the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers
conferred on the Commission (1).

To ensure continuity of a Community financial contri-

ANNEX II

PART A

1. The programme of annual expenditure referred to in Article 12 should state the expenditure scheduled for the years

2001, 2002 and 2003, specifying in particular:

— the expenditure timetable;
— the nature, cost and inspection objectives of the new technologies and IT networks;
— the nature, duration, number of participants, cost and purposes of the training for inspection officials;
— for inspection and monitoring equipment: technical characteristics, cost, planned mode of payment, inspection
including date of entry into service.

objectives and planned utilisation,

2. Member States must send the Commission all relevant information on the following:

— the objectives pursued by the proposed expenditure;
— the results expected from this expenditure;
— in connection with the purchase and modernisation of vessels and aircraft, an estimate of the period of time for

which these will be used for fishery inspection and surveillance work;

— the Member State's use over previous years of the contribution granted under Decision 95/527/EC;
— the improvement in the effectiveness of the controls at sea and on land carried out by the Member State during the
period preceding the application and the improvement that should result from the proposed expenditure.

Member States shall also complete and send to the Commission the forms, of which models are given in Part B.

3. Criteria to be considered when deciding on a financial contribution:

— the scale and efficiency of the human and physical resources actually devoted to inspection work;
— the degree of cooperation with other Member States and the Commission in policing fisheries;
— the Member State's contribution to inspection work and its compliance with obligations under inspection and

observer schedules established by RFOs to which the Community is a contracting party;

— the extent of its controls on fishing by its own vessels on the high seas;
— the diversity of fishing activities in the Member State's fishery zone;
— the reliability of the catch figures notified to the Commission and the Member State's ability to prevent overrun of

its quotas;

— the state of execution of the eligible expenditure for which a Community contribution has been approved under

Decision 95/527/EC or under this Decision;

— the extent of prevention and detection of infringements of the common fisheries policy and the action taken to

penalise them;

— the existence in national

legislation and application in practice of penalties proportionate to the gravity of

infringements that actually deter from further infringements of the same type;

— compliance with the requirement to notify the Commission of detected cases of behaviour seriously infringing

common fishery policy rules, as required by Regulation (EC) No 1447/1999.

4. The completed questionnaires on public contracts must refer to the public tender notices published in the Official
Journal of the European Communities. If notices have not been published in the Official Journal, the beneficiary must
certify that the Community legislation on public contracts has been respected.

The Commission may call for any information it considers necessary to decide whether or not Community legislation
on public contracts has been respected.

Reimbursement shall be conditional on submission of supporting documents (two copies) comprising at least the main
elements of the agreement between the Member State and the supplier and the proof of payment. To be reimbursed,
the individual items of expenditure must be listed in a summary statement clearly indicating for each its nature, link
with the proposed programme and amount before VAT.
