COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2244/2003

of 18 December 2003

laying down detailed provisions regarding satellite-based Vessel Monitoring Systems

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20
December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploita-
tion of
the Common Fisheries
Policy (1), and in particular Article 22(3) and Article 23(5)
thereof,

fisheries

(8)

(9)

In view of the adoption of these new provisions, it is
necessary to repeal Commission Regulation (EC) No
1489/97 of 29 July 1997 laying down detailed rules for
the application of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93
as regards satellite-based vessel monitoring systems (2).

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

Whereas:

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

(2)

(3)

(4)

(5)

(6)

(7)

Pursuant to Article 22(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 2371/
2002, fishing vessels are prohibited from engaging in
activities within the scope of
the Common Fisheries
Policy, unless they have installed on board a functioning
system which allows detection and identification of the
vessel by remote monitoring systems.

It is appropriate to provide that as from 1 January 2004,
all fishing vessels exceeding 18 metres length overall,
and as from 1 January 2005, all fishing vessels exceeding
15 metres length overall, should be subject to a satellite-
based Vessel Monitoring System (VMS).

Fishing vessels which operate exclusively inside the base-
lines of Member States should not be subject to that
obligation since the impact of their activity on resources
is insignificant.

Pursuant to Article 23(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2371/
2002, Member States are to set up the administrative
and technical structure necessary for ensuring effective
control, inspection and enforcement, including satellite
based monitoring systems.

Stricter VMS provisions create the potential to enhance
significantly the efficiency and effectiveness of moni-
toring, control and surveillance operations both at sea
and on land.

It is appropriate to establish a transitional period for the
application of the provisions referring to the communi-
cation of the speed and course of the fishing vessel
subject to certain conditions.

The VMS should apply in a similar way to Community
fishing vessels and fishing vessels of third countries oper-
ating in Community waters.

1.
Each Member State shall ensure that its FMC receives, at
least once an hour, through the VMS the information referred
to in Article 5(1) concerning the fishing vessels flying its flag
and registered in the Community. The FMC may decide to
require the information at shorter time intervals.

Notwithstanding paragraph 1,

2.
the frequency of data
transmission may be at least once every two hours, if the FMC
has the possibility of polling the actual position of the fishing
vessels.

is in port, the satellite tracking
3. When a fishing vessel

coastal Member State.

That data transmission shall be simultaneous with transmission
to the FMC of the flag Member State and shall be in conformity
with the format set out in Annex I.

2.
Each Member State shall transmit to the other Member
States a comprehensive list of latitude and longitude coordi-
nates which delimit its exclusive economic zone or exclusive
fishery zone.

Coastal Member States monitoring jointly an area may
specify a common destination for the transmission of the data
to be provided in accordance with Article 5. They shall inform
the Commission and the other Member States thereof.

4. Member States shall ensure coordination between their
competent authorities regarding the establishment and opera-
tion of the procedures for transmission to the FMC of a coastal

VMS. The list shall contain the internal fleet register number,
the external identification, the name and the international radio
call sign of each vessel.

A Community fishing vessel shall not

leave a port,
2.
following a technical
failure or non-functioning, before the
satellite tracking device fitted on board is functioning to the
satisfaction of the competent authorities or before it is other-
wise authorised to leave by the competent authorities.

3. Member States shall seek to inform the master or the
owner of the vessel or their representative when the satellite
tracking device fitted on board a Community fishing vessel
appears to be defective or not to be functioning.

4.
The flag Member State may authorise the satellite-tracking
device to be replaced by a functioning device which complies
with Article 5.

Article 12

Non-receipt of data

1. When the FMC of a flag Member State has not received
data transmissions in accordance with Articles 8 or 11 for 12
hours it shall notify the master or the owner of the vessel or
their representative thereof as soon as possible. If, in respect of
a particular vessel, this situation occurs more than three times
within a period of one year, the flag Member State shall ensure
in question is
that the satellite tracking device of the vessel
checked. The Member State concerned shall
investigate the
matter in order to establish whether the equipment has been
tampered with. By way of derogation from Article 6(2)(d) this
may entail the removal of such equipment for examination.

2. When the FMC of a flag Member State has not received
data transmissions in accordance with Article 8 or Article 11(1)
for 12 hours and the last received position was from within the
waters of a coastal Member State it shall notify the FMC of that
coastal Member State thereof as soon as possible.

from the time that event was detected or from the time that he
was informed in accordance with paragraph 3 or Article 12(1),
the up to date current geographical position of the vessel by
e-mail, by telex, by fax, by telephone message or by radio, via a
radio station approved under the Community legislation for the
