changes to the characteristics of a vessel as entered on the licence when issued and as listed in Appendix 1.

pole-and-line vessels for each fishing period spent in the Côte d'Ivoire fishing zone. It shall be filled in even
when no catches are made.

phiques de Côte d'Ivoire or sent to the same department within 45 days of the end of the fishing trip spent in the
Côte d'Ivoire fishing zone.

Copies shall be sent to the scientific institutes referred to in paragraph 4 of section B above.

competent authorities.

this trainee.

J. TAKING ON BOARD OF SCIENTIFIC OBSERVERS

Vessels fishing in the Côte d'Ivoire fishing zone shall take a scientific observer on board at the request of the Côte
d'Ivoire authorities; these observers shall be treated as officers. This applies equally, as far as is possible, to the quarters
assigned to the observer. The time spent on board by the observer shall be fixed by the Côte d'Ivoire authorities but, as
a general rule, it should not exceed the time required to carry out his duties. Once on board, the observer shall:

— observe the fishing activities of the vessels,

— verify the position of vessels engaged in fishing operations,

— perform biological sampling in the context of scientific programmes,

— note the fishing gear used,

— verify the catch data for the Côte d'Ivoire zone recorded in the logbook.

While on board, observers shall:

— take all appropriate steps to ensure that the conditions under which they are taken on board and their presence on

board do not interrupt or hamper fishing activities,

— respect the material and equipment on board and the confidentiality of all documents belonging to the said vessel,

— draw up an activity report to be transmitted to the competent Côte d'Ivoire authorities and send a copy to the

Delegation of the European Commission.

The conditions governing his embarkation shall be agreed between the shipowner or his agent and the Côte d'Ivoire
authorities. Owners of trawlers shall pay the Côte d'Ivoire authorities, together with the licence fee, the sum of EUR 4
per GRT per year pro rata temporis for each vessel fishing in Côte d'Ivoire waters. This sum shall be paid into the
account specified by the Côte d'Ivoire fishing authorities. Owners of tuna seiners, pole-and-line tuna vessels and
surface longliners shall pay the Côte d'Ivoire Government EUR 10 per month for each observer taken on board.
Shipowners who are unable to take observers aboard and put them off at a Côte d'Ivoire port agreed by mutual
agreement with the Côte d'Ivoire authorities shall bear the cost of taking the observers aboard and putting them
ashore.

If the observer is not present at the time and place agreed and during the 12 hours following the time agreed,
shipowners shall be automatically absolved of their obligation to take the observer on board.

The salary and the social contributions of the observer shall be borne by the relevant Côte d'Ivoire authorities.

K. INSPECTION AND MONITORING

At the request of the Côte d'Ivoire authorities, Community vessels operating within the Agreement shall permit and
facilitate the boarding and fulfilment of the tasks of Côte d'Ivoire officials responsible for the inspection and
monitoring of fishing activities.

These officials should not remain on board any longer than the time required to carry out their duties.

L. BOARDING OF VESSELS

1. The Delegation of the European Commission in Côte d'Ivoire shall be notified within three working days of any
boarding within the Côte d'Ivoire fishing zone of a fishing vessel flying the flag of a Member State of the
Community and operating under this Agreement. The Delegation shall at the same time receive a brief report of
the circumstances and reasons leading to the boarding.

L 329/10

EN

Official Journal of the European Communities

27.12.2000

2. Before any measures regarding the master or the crew of the vessel or any action regarding the cargo and
equipment of the vessel are considered, other than those to safeguard evidence relating to the presumed
infringement, a consultation meeting shall be held, within one working day from the receipt of the abovemen-
tioned information, between the Delegation of the Commission of the European Communities in Côte d'Ivoire, the
fisheries authorities and the inspection authorities, possibly attended by a representative of the Member State
concerned. At the meeting, the parties shall exchange any relevant documentation or information helping to clarify
the circumstances of the established facts. The shipowner or his representative shall be informed of the outcome of
the meeting and of any measures resulting from the boarding.

3. Before any judicial procedure, an attempt shall be made to resolve the presumed infringement through a

compromise procedure. This procedure shall end no later than three working days after the boarding.

4. Should the case not be settled by means of compromise, and the master therefore be brought before a competent
Côte d'Ivoire judicial body, a reasonable bank security shall be fixed by the competent authority within two
working days, following the conclusion of the compromise procedure, pending the judicial decision. The bank
security shall be released by the competent authority once the master of the vessel concerned has been acquitted
by the judicial decision.

5. The vessel and its crew shall be released either:

— at the end of the consultation meeting,

if the established facts permit, or

— on receipt of payment of a fine (compromise procedure), or

— once a bank security is deposited (judicial proceedings).

6. Should one of the Parties consider that there is a problem in the application of the above procedure, it may request

urgent consultations.
