COMMISSION DECISION

of 29 July 2002

amending Decisions 98/119/EC to 98/131/EC in order to prolong the multiannual guidance
programmes for the fishing fleets of the Member States until 31 December 2002

(notified under document number C(2002) 2831)

(2002/652/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999 of 17 December 1999 laying down the detailed
rules and arrangements regarding Community structural assistance in the fisheries sector (1), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 179/2002 (2), and in particular Articles 4 and 5 thereof,

Having regard to Council Decision 97/413/EC of 26 June 1997 concerning the objectives and detailed rules
for restructuring the Community fisheries sector for the period 1 January 1997 to 31 December 2001 with
a view to achieving a balance on a sustainable basis between resources and their exploitation (3), as
amended by Decision 2002/70/EC (4), and in particular Article 9 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

Decision 97/413/EC was adopted in accordance with Article 11 of Council Regulation (EEC) No
3760/92 of 20 December 1992 establishing a Community system for fisheries and aquaculture (5), as
last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1181/98 (6).

By Decision 2002/70/EC of 28 January 2002, the Council decided to prolong Decision 97/413/EC
by a year, to 31 December 2002. The multiannual guidance programmes (MAGP IV) adopted by
Commission Decisions 98/119/EC to 98/131/EC (7) should therefore be amended accordingly, with
retroactive effect from 1 January 2002 in order to avoid the absence of measures to restructure the
fleets of Member States between 1 January 2002 and the date of adoption of this Decision.

The Member States have carried out to different degrees the remeasuring of their fleets in terms of
gross tonnes (GT) as required by Council Regulation (EC) No 2930/86 of 22 September 1986
defining characteristics for fishing vessels (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 3259/94 (2), and by
Commission Decision 95/84/EC of 20 March 1995 concerning the implementation of the Annex to
Council Regulation (EEC) No 2930/86 defining the characteristics of fishing vessels (3). In accordance
with Article 7 of each of Decisions 98/119/EC to 98/131/EC, this should be taken into account
when expressing targets to be attained by 31 December 2002.

In the context of prolonging MAGP IV, the Commission should use this opportunity to respond to
requests from a number of Member States to alter their programmes.

In the absence of new legislative provisions as from 1 July 2002, aids for the renewal of vessels
belonging to fleet segments of Member States that fail to meet their targets can no longer be
accepted. Those segments must therefore be clearly identified as of 30 June 2002 in order to ensure
compliance with Community rules and sound management of public funds.

The management of public aid schemes for the fishing fleets should be founded on circumstances
that are clearly established by reference to the information transmitted to the Commission by the
Member States, and in particular in relation to the targets in their multiannual guidance programmes
and within the context of the annual Commission report on the results of the multiannual guidance
programmes referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999.

The Advisory Committee on Fisheries and Aquaculture was consulted in its meeting on 29
May 2002.

The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management
Committee on Fisheries and Aquaculture,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

98/127/EC, 98/128/EC, 98/129/EC, 98/130/EC and 98/131/EC are hereby amended as follows:

shown in the tables of targets attached.’

3. The following new Articles are added after each Article 6:

‘Article 6a

The Commission shall draw up, on the basis of the information shown at 30 June 2002 in the
Community register of fishing vessels, a document setting out for each fleet segment of each Member
State the differences between capacity expressed in GT tonnage and kW on that date and the inter-
mediate targets, calculated for the occasion for the individual segments as the arithmetic mean of the
targets for the fifth and sixth years of the programme.

Article 6b

Eligibility for Community aid for the fleet in segments managed in terms of capacity shall be assessed on
the basis of the capacity situation of the fleet on 1 July 2002 (*), as published in the document referred
to in Article 6a.

(1) OJ L 274, 25.9.1986, p. 1.
(2) OJ L 339, 29.12.1994, p. 11.

2792/1999.

(*) Notwithstanding the definitive evaluation of the objectives in tonnage after the remeasurement.’

The tonnage objectives for the segments 4A1 and 4A2, expressed in terms of GT are definitive. There will be no further adjustment to take into account the remeasurement of the fleet.
The objectives for 2002 are equivalent to the objectives for 1996, which were fixed independently of the rules established in Decision 92/589/EEC. They take account of the modest size of the Belgian fleet and that a minimum global capacity
must be safeguarded to prevent it falling below the threshold for the economic viability of the country's fishing industry.

The final and definitive revision of the tonnage objectives for segments 4G1, 4G2 and 4G3, to take into account the remeasurement of the fleet, will be completed before the end of 2004.
(1) The objectives of the polyvalent segment for 1.1.1997 have been increased by 5 473 GT and 28 447 kW to take into account the capacity of previously unregistered vessels. These figures will be revised when all remaining licence

applications have been processed.

(2) The capacity objectives of this segment have been increased by 14 055 GT and 14 400 kW to take into account additional fishing opportunities in Mauritanian and other west African waters. The fishing effort objectives for Community
waters remain unchanged. The fishing effort objectives fixed for Mauritanian waters assume a baseline activity of the vessels concerned of 309 days per year. These effort objectives are subject to review in the light of the development of the
fisheries.

(3) Up to 285 GT and 906 kW from the polyvalent segment objective may be transferred to the beam trawl segment objective during MAGP IV in order to update existing vessels in that segment.
(4) The objective for 1.1.1997 has been increased by 4 434 kW, representing 45 % of the backlog from MAGP III.

The final and definitive revision of the tonnage objectives for the segments 4H1, 4H2, 4H3, 4H4, 4H5, 4H6, 4H7, 4H8, 4H9, 4HA and 4HB, to take into account the remeasurement of the fleet, will be completed before the end of 2004.
The revised situation for the Italian fleet at 1.1.1992 and 31.12.1996 has been established on the basis of the results of the joint Commission/Italian working group during the period January 1998 to February 1999. The revised situation affects
the calculation of the start and end objectives of MAGP III. The global end objectives of MAGP III represent the global starting objectives for the MAGP IV. The segment objectives are based on the allocation of vessels between segments according
to the situation at 1.1.1997.
The capacity of segments 4H7, 4H8 and 4H9 includes vessels from other segments that have been misallocated.
A total of 3 633 GT and 14 177 kW must be removed from these segments and reallocated to the other segments of the fleet.
Eleven vessels have not been allocated to any segment. Their capacity (587 GT and 2 341 kW) will be added to the situation at 1.1.1997 and the objectives will be adjusted accordingly.
Vessels in segment 4HA that are obliged to change from driftnet fishing to other fishing activities will be moved to other fleet segments and the objectives will be adjusted accordingly.

(1) In accordance with Article 2(4) of Council Decision 97/413/EC and following the procedures of Article 18 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 the Commission may approve, on request of the Swedish authorities, an increase of capacity
for this segment aiming at exploiting additional fishing possibilities for Baltic herring. The limits for this increase of capacity will be established in the light of all relevant information on the state of the Baltic herring stocks.
i.e.

(2) Provisional capacity figures are indicated for these two segments. The figures may be subject to modification,

in the light of improved catch composition data and precise allocation of vessels between segments.
