HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1543/2000 of 29
June 2000 establishing a Community framework for
the
collection and management of the data needed to conduct the
common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Articles 5(1) and
8(1) thereof,

Article 1

Regulation (EC) No 1639/2001 is amended as follows:

1. Article 3 is amended as follows:

Whereas:

(a)

in the first paragraph, point (c) is replaced by the follo-
wing:

(1) Whenever an on-board sampling scheme is established
within the respective national programmes, access to
vessels should be guaranteed for sampling purposes.
Therefore, on-board observers should be accepted on
any vessel in order to avoid biased estimates.

(2)

(3)

(4)

There is a need to assure a better sampling of stocks
under recovery plans and deep-sea species, to obtain a
better knowledge of these particular stocks.

The analysis of Member States’ reports on catch per unit
of effort (hereinafter referred to as CPUE) data collected
together with the
from 1995 to 2000, carried out
Scientific, Technical
for
Fisheries (hereinafter referred to as the STECF), provides
a basis on which to lay down the eligible CPUE data
series to be collected in the future.

and Economic Committee

Based on the acquired experience during the first year of
data collection in 2002 and taking into consideration the
STECF advice, technical modifications are needed to the
detailed guidelines
for data collection laid down in
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1639/2001 (2), and in
particular to the names of the stocks and the sampling
approach for length and age sampling strategies.

the following point is added:

‘(e)

in the event of sampling, the procedures set within
the national programmes shall ensure the collection
of the required data by duly appointed observers and
the acceptance on board and cooperation with such
observers by masters of fishing vessels, in accordance
with Article 22(1)(d) of Council Regulation (EC) No
2371/2002 (*).

ANNEX I

The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1639/2001 is amended as follows:

1. In Chapter I, Section B, the following point is added:

‘5. With regard to the data collection of stocks subject to a recovery plan pursuant to a Council Regulation, sampling
requirements for the extended programme shall become mandatory under the minimum programme for the year
following the Regulation’s adoption and during the applicable period of the recovery plan. The same shall apply to
surveys where the main objective stock is subject to a recovery plan.’

2. In Chapter III, Section F is replaced by the following:

‘F. Collection of data concerning the catches per unit of effort and/or effective effort of specific commercial
fleets

The following series are required:

1. At the minimum programme level, data shall only contain data series for catches and effort for:

— fleets which have been used at any time from 1995 onwards in stock assessments, either analytical and/or

production models,

— stocks where there is no stock assessment and where CPUE data series were the only way to estimate trends in

the stocks abundance at any time from 1995 onwards,

— fisheries for which there are regional fisheries organisation (hereinafter referred to as RFO) obligations.

Stock definitions shall correspond with the ones defined by RFOs, and the sampling strategies shall include, as a
minimum, the corresponding strata.

Member States shall provide a thorough description of the way in which the abundance index for each stock has
been calculated.

2. At the extended programme level, data series for catches and effort for:

— fleets which have not yet been used in stock assessments but where stock assessments are expected to be

conducted in the future e.g. in the Mediterranean area and for deep-sea resources,

— fleets where data collection started in recent years and until these data series are used in stock assessments (such
data series may be transferred to the minimum programmes only if they are used in the stock assessment
procedures),

— fleets for which CPUE data series are collected but the data are presently only used for biological purposes

(length and age composition, maturity data).

Stock definitions should follow the ones defined by RFOs, and the sampling strategies shall include, as a minimum,
the respective strata.

Member States shall provide a thorough description of the way in which the abundance index for each stock has
been calculated.’

3. In Chapter III, Section H is amended as follows:

(a) paragraph 1 is amended as follows:

(i) points (a) and (b) are replaced by the following:

‘(a) Parameters:

Biological sampling must be performed in order to evaluate the composition in length and, where
appropriate, in age of the landings for all the stocks specified as mandatory in Appendix XV.

(b) Disaggregation and precision levels:

(i)

for stocks under recovery plans Member States shall apply a sampling strategy, achieving a precision
level 2 for the length and, where appropriate, age composition of landings;

10.9.2004

EN

Official Journal of the European Union

L 289/9

(ii) for other stocks Member States shall apply a sampling strategy, achieving a precision level 1 for the

length and, where appropriate, age composition of landings.

However, if this approach cannot be achieved, Member States may apply an alternative methodology for
which the required disaggregation levels are specified in Appendix XV.’

(ii)

in point (d), first indent, subparagraph 3 is replaced by the following:

‘3.

for the stocks in the Mediterranean area, the landings by weight of a Mediterranean Member State for a
species corresponding to less than 10 % of the total EU landings of that species, taken in the Mediter-
ranean area, or to less than 200 tonnes, are exempted. This derogation shall not apply for blue fin tuna.’

(iii) in point (d), second indent, subparagraph 3 is replaced by the following:

‘3.

for the stocks in the Mediterranean area, the landings by weight of a Mediterranean Member State for a
species corresponding to less than 10 % of the total EU landings of that species, taken in the Mediter-
ranean area, or to less than 200 tonnes, are exempted. This derogation shall not apply to blue fin tuna.’

(iv) point (e) is replaced by the following:

‘(e) Discards:

Discards shall be the subject of an annual estimation of the distribution of the lengths by type of fishing
technique when:

— discard data is used in stock assessment working groups,

— discards represent either more than 10 % of the total catches by weight, or more than 20 % of the
catches in numbers for the stocks for which yearly discard data must be collected, as specified in
Appendix XII.

The sampling intensities are those as defined in Appendix XV for commercial landings.

When discards take place for length ranges which are not represented in the landings, age-reading shall
take place in accordance with the rules set out in in Appendix XV.

However, if Member States cannot reach this level of precision or only at excessive cost, they may obtain a
derogation from the Commission provided that this request is fully documented.’

(b) paragraph 2 is replaced by the following:

‘2. Extended programme:

(a) Complementary parameters:

Biological sampling shall be performed in order to evaluate the composition in length and, where appro-
priate, in age of the landings for all the stocks specified as optional in Appendix XV.

(b) Disaggregation and precision levels:

Member States shall apply a sampling strategy, achieving a precision level 1 for the length and, where
appropriate, age composition of landings.

However, if this approach cannot be achieved, Member States may apply an alternative methodology for
which the required disaggregation levels are specified in Appendix XV.

(c) Discards:

The sampling programme for the estimation of the annual composition in lengths of the discards for
optional stocks specified in Appendix XV.’
