(3)

The Ninth Meeting of the Conference of Parties of the
Convention on International Trade
in Endangered
Species (CITES)
in 1994 requested the monitoring of
catch and trade data on elasmobranch fish species
(sharks, skates and rays) be undertaken by the Food and
Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO)
and by regional fishery agencies.

At its 87th Statutory Meeting in 1999 the International
Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) resolved to
adopt the species groupings for elasmobranch fishes as
described in the
the Study Group on
Elasmobranch Species and to request FAO to include
these species on its Statlant 27A questionnaire on catch
statistics for the North-East Atlantic.

report of

The ICES has extended its list of species for which
catches in the North-East Atlantic are recorded in its
database and thus Member States should be encouraged
to submit available catch statistics for these additional
species.

may submit data in a different form or on a different
laid down in Annex IV to the
medium from that
Regulation.

Several Member States have requested submission of
data in a different form or through a different medium
from that specified in Annex IV to Regulation (EEC) No
3880/91 (the equivalent of the abovementioned Statlant
questionnaires).

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee
for Agricultural Statistics set up by Council Decision
72/279/EEC (2).

Article 1

Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 3880/91 shall be replaced by
Annex I to this Regulation.

Article 2

Member States may submit data following that in the format
detailed in Annex II to this Regulation.

Article 3

(4)

Article 4(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3880/91 provides
that Member States, with the prior approval of Eurostat,

This Regulation shall enter
into force on the 20th 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 States.

LIST OF SPECIES WHICH HAVE BEEN REPORTED IN THE COMMERCIAL CATCH STATISTICS FOR THE
NORTH-EAST ATLANTIC

ANNEX I

Member States must report the nominal catches of those species marked with an asterisk (*). The reporting of nominal
catches of the remaining species is optional as concerns the identification of the individual species. However, where
data for individual species are not submitted the data shall be included in aggregate categories. Member States may
submit data for species not in the list provided that the species are clearly identified.
