INTRODUCTION 

Article  14  of  Council  Regulation  (EC)  No 2371/20021  and  Article  12  of  Commission 
Regulation 1438/20032 requires Member States to submit to the Commission, before 1 May 
each year, a report on their efforts during the previous year to achieve a sustainable balance 
between fleet capacity and available fishing opportunities. On the basis of these reports and 
the  data  in  the  Community  Fishing  Fleet  Register3  the  Commission  produced  for  the  year 
2003 a summary which was presented to the ‘Scientific Technical and Economic Committee 
for Fisheries’ (STECF) and the ‘Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture’. In this report the 
Commission  now  presents  that  summary,  accompanied  by  the  opinions  of  the  above-
mentioned committees, to the Council and the European Parliament. 

This report is divided into two parts: 

– 

– 

The  first  part  describes  the  rules  that  must  be  followed  by  Member  States  in 
managing their fleets and summarises the information submitted according to Article 
13 of Commission Regulation 1438/2003 on implementing rules for fleet policy; 

The second part shows the development of Member States’ fleets’ capacities in 2003 
in the form of numeric tables containing the relevant information on the entries and 
exits of vessels for each national fleet. 

Note: The fleets of new Member States that joined the European Union at 1 May 2004 are not 
covered  by  this  report  as  they  were  not  subject  to  the  Common  Fisheries  Policy  (CFP)  in 
2003. 

2. 

FLEET MANAGEMENT IN THE REFORMED COMMON FISHERIES POLICY 

Following  the  reform  of  the  CFP  adopted  in  December  2002,  the  management  of  fishing 
fleets has changed: the Multi-Annual Guidance Programmes (MAGP) with fleet segmentation 
and  capacity  and/or  effort  ceilings  by  fleet  segment  have  been  replaced  by  the  general  rule 
that new capacity, expressed in terms of tonnage and power, introduced into the fleet cannot 
be higher than capacity withdrawn from it.  

a) 

Entry/Exit regime 

From 1 January 2003 Member States have had to respect a strict entry-exit regime applying to 
the  capacity  of  their  fleets,  measured  in  terms  of  both  tonnage  and  power.  Any  entry  of 
capacity  into  the  fleet  of  a  Member  State  has  to  be  compensated  by  the  previous  exit  of  at 
least the same amount of capacity (ratio 1:1, “at any time”), unless the entry corresponds to 
works to improve safety, hygiene or living and working conditions on board (Article 11(5) of 
Council  Regulation  2371/2002).  For  entries  of  new  vessels  between  100  and  400  GT  built 
with  public  aid  (this  is  only  possible  until  31  December  2004)  the  Member  State  has  to 
withdraw 35% more capacity than it introduces (ratio 1:1.35).

Another important rule is that capacity leaving the fleet with public aid cannot be  replaced. 
Such  capacity  is  subtracted  directly  from  the  fleet  and  also  from  the  reference  level 
established in accordance with Article 12 of Council Regulation 2371/2002, and it therefore 
counts  against  the  entry/exit  regime  in  the  ratio  0:1.  Capacity  reductions  supported  with 
public aid are therefore definitive. 

All  of  this  means  that,  as  a  general  rule,  the  capacity  of  the  Member  State’s  fleets  cannot 
increase with respect to its levels on 1 January 2003. In practice this is likely to be the case. 
However,  the  implementing  rules  for  the  fleet  policy  allow  for  the  introduction  of  vessels 
outside the framework of the entry/exit regime in the case where decisions have been made by 
the national authorities between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2002 for those vessels to 
enter the fleet after 1 January 2003. These entries have to take place at the most 3 years after 
the date of the administrative decision (i.e. at the latest by the end of 2005) and must comply 
with the rules that existed at that time, in particular Article 9 of the Financial Instrument for 
Fisheries Guidance (FIFG). 

b) 

Reference Levels 

The reference levels for the fleets of Member States are the sum of the global final objectives 
of MAGP IV as established by Article 12 of Council Regulation 2371/2002. France, Portugal 
and Spain have a specific reference level for their mainland fleet and a separate one for their 
fleets registered in the outermost regions, for which different rules apply (Council Regulation 
639/2004)4. Member States may not exceed their reference levels at any time. 

When a Member State undertakes decommissioning with public aid, these reference levels are 
automatically reduced by the amount of capacity scrapped. In addition, Member States who 
give aid to construction of vessels will see their initial 2003 reference level reduced by 3% by 
the end of 2004. Since most Member States were already well below this reference level at 
the  beginning  of  2003  its  impact  is  not  very  significant.  Compliance  with  this  rule  will, 
however, be assessed in the annual report for 2004. 

Since the reference levels are a legacy of MAGP IV (period 1997-2002), the Council decided 
that  they  would  not  apply  to  the  Member  States  that  joined  the  EU  on  1  May  2004 
(Commission Regulation 916/2004)5. 

c) 

Remeasurement of tonnage 

The  remeasurement  of  the  Community  fleet  is  based  on  Council  Regulation  (EC) 
No 3259/946 and Commission Decision 95/84/EC7. The aim is to apply tonnage measurement 
according to the London Convention to the entire European fleet, requiring, as a consequence, 
that all fishing vessels should be measured in GT. 

The  fleet  should  have  been  entirely  remeasured  by  December  2003  for  vessels  between  15 
and 24 m, and earlier for vessels greater than 24 m (1994) or less than 15 m (1998).

The  reference  levels  defined  on  the  basis  of  Article  12  of  Regulation  (EC)  2371/2002  must 
take into account the fact that the remeasurement process is not finished yet for a number of 
Member  States.  In  cases  where  the  remeasurement  of  the  fleet  has  not  been  completed  the 
tonnage figures used in this report are a mixture of GT and GRT. 

3. 

COMMUNITY FISHING FLEET REGISTER 

The  main  tool  for  monitoring  the  fishing  fleet  is  the  Community  Fishing  Fleet  Register 
(CFR). Member States are obliged to transmit all relevant information on the characteristics 
of approximately 90,000 marine fishing vessels, together with information on entries to and 
exits from the fleet. All information contained in the tables in the annex has been taken from 
the CFR, with the exception of: 

– 

data  on  entries  corresponding  to  administrative  decisions  taken  by  national 
authorities  before  2003  for  which  either  the  corresponding  exits  had  taken  place 
before 2003 (GT1 / kW1 and GT3 / kW3) or which were subject to a higher entry/exit 
ratio (GT2 / kW2 and GT4 / kW4), in table a, and; 

– 

data on entries with public aid. 

Only in these two cases the information has been taken directly from the Member States.

a) 

SUMMARY OF MEMBER STATES’ ANNUAL REPORTS 

Description of the fleets in relation to the state of fisheries 

In  2003,  following  the  steady  trend  of  recent  years,  all  Member  States  have  reduced  the 
capacity  of  their  fleets,  mainly  as  a  result  of  national  decommissioning  schemes. 
Decommissioning schemes are often linked to restrictions imposed by a Community recovery 
plan,  such  as  for  Denmark,  United  Kingdom  or  Spain  (Cod  recovery  plan,  NAFO  recovery 
plan  for  Greenland  halibut)  or  by  current  Community  rules  on  capacity,  as  for  France  and 
Belgium (i.e. Reference Levels). 

b) 

Impact of effort reduction schemes on capacity 

It  has  mainly  been  the  fleets  of  northern  Member  States  that  have  so  far  been  affected  by 
effort reduction measures as a result of the introduction of cod recovery measures. Almost all 
Member States, however, report that the downward trend in fleet size is in particular due to 
the poor state of certain stocks (such as cod in the North and Baltic Seas, sole and plaice in 
the North Sea, herring in the Baltic Sea). 

c) 

Strengths and Weaknesses 

Most Member States have considered 2003 as a transitional year in which they had to adapt to 
the  new  regime  on  fleet  management.  The  fact  that  the  segments  of  MAGP  IV  were 
abandoned  under  the  new  Regulation  caused  some  organisational  and/or  informatics 
difficulties  for  some  Member  States.  While  most  have  welcomed  the  new  regime  -  widely 
considering it as a substantial simplification - some Member States have decided to keep the 
old segmentation for internal management purposes.

Some  Member  States  stressed  that  because  of  limited  human  resources  they  have  failed  to 
meet the official deadlines in implementing and reporting according to the new Commission 
Regulation 1438/2003. However the situation is now improving as the Member States adapt 
to the new system. 

Several  Member  States  pointed  out  that  the  entry/exit  regime  alone  was  not  a  major 
contributor  to  an  overall  fleet  capacity  reduction.  Furthermore,  even  when  respecting  the 
overall  requirements  (reference  levels,  entry/exit  regime,  the  reduction  of  3%  for  aid 
commitments for fleet renewal), some Member States doubted that this reduction would lead 
to  a  long-term  balance  between  fleet  capacity  and  available  fishing  opportunities  (e.g. 
technological progress is not taken into account). 

d) 

Compliance with the entry/exit regime and with levels of reference 

Compliance  at  the  end  of  2003  with  the  entry/exit  regime  and  with  reference  levels  is 
described  in  the  summary  tables  1  and  2  and  in  the  Technical  Annex  by  application  of  the 
formulae fixed in Commission Regulation (EC) 1438/2003 to each Member State’s fleet. 

5. 

CONCLUSIONS FROM THE COMMISSION 

In 2003 the overall capacity of the Community fleet was reduced by 40.362 GT and 142.727 
kW, which represents a reduction of 2 % of the total capacity of the Community fleet. 44 % of 
the capacity withdrawals from the fleet were supported by public aid which means that this 
capacity cannot be replaced. 

It was not possible to fully assess whether Member States have complied with the entry/exit 
“at  any  time”  rule  because  the  necessary  adaptation  of  the  fleet  register  only  became 
operational on 1 September 2004. As stated under section 3 on page 5 of this report, the data 
relating to entries in 2003 based on decisions taken before 1 January 2003 was submitted by 
the  Member  States  separately  and  could  not  be  directly  verified  in  the  Community  fishing 
fleet  register.  The  Commission  will  continue  to  control  these  data  in  order  to  assess  their 
quality.  The  information  on  how  Member  States  have  complied  with  the  “at  any  time”  rule 
and on the exact application of the 1:1,35 ratio for publicly assisted entries of vessels between 
100 GT and 400 GT will be made available in future reports. 

The following tables summarise compliance, at 31 December 2003, with the entry/exit regime 
and  the  reference  levels.  A  majority  of  Member  States  have  complied  with  these  rules. 
However,  Belgium  and  Italy  do  not  comply  with  the  tonnage  ceiling  and  Italy  does  not 
comply  with  the  engine  power  ceiling.  In  addition,  Belgium  does  not  comply  with  the 
reference level in tonnage. 

The Italian authorities contest these conclusions and argue that the Italian fleet has respected 
the entry-exit provisions. In order to support this claim they have lately submitted additional 
information, not included in the CFR, which the Commission services are now analysing. 

As  explained  above,  this  report  is  primarily  based  on  data  extracted  from  the  CFR,  except 
where these data were not yet available. Discrepancies remain between the data presented by 
Member States in their reports and those resulting from their declarations to the CFR. These 
discrepancies should be eliminated in the next annual report of the Commission, once the new 
CFR is fully operational. The data presented by MS in their national reports do not modify the 
conclusions of the report, except potentially in the case of Italy as explained above.

According to Article 16 of Council Regulation 2371/2002, those Member States that do not 
comply  with  the  Articles  11,  13  and  15  of  this  Regulation  shall  be  obliged  to  reduce  their 
fishing  effort  to  a  level  which  would  have  existed  if  they  had  complied  with  the  above 
mentioned  articles.  Furthermore  they  may  be  subject  to  a  proportionate  suspension  of  the 
Community financial assistance under the FIFG.

TECHNICAL ANNEX - RESULTS BY MEMBER STATE 

The following tables summarise the developments of the Member States’ fleets in relation to 
their compliance with two levels: 

– 

the entry/exit level; the levels of reference. 

A  comparison  between  these  levels  and  the  situation  of  the  fleet  on  1  January  2003 
(“baselines”) has been made based on data collected from the Community Fleet Register as 
registered  on  24th  August  2004  and  on  data  from  the  national  reports.  For  each  Member 
State’s fleet the following tables are shown: 

Table a) - Calculation of baselines (GT03 and kW03) at 31 December 2003 

The baselines against which entries and exits over 2003 must be assessed are: 

– 

– 

– 

– 

the capacity identified in the Community Fishing Fleet Register at 1 January 2003, 

plus  the  capacity  entered  into  the  fleet  in  2003  based  on  administrative  decisions 
taken by the national authorities between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2002, for 
which an  associated capacity had been withdrawn before  1 January  2003  (GT1 and 
kW1 for entries with aid, GT3 and kW3 for entries without aid), 

minus 35% of the capacity entered into the fleet in 2003 with public aid based on an 
administrative decision taken by the national authorities between 1 January 2002 and 
30  June  2002  concerning  an  MAGP  IV  segment  that  did  not  comply  with  its 
objectives, for which an associated capacity withdrawal took place in 2003 (GT2 or 
kW2), 

minus 30% of the capacity entered into the fleet in 2003 with public aid based on an 
administrative  decision  taken  between  1  January  2000  and  31  December  2001 
concerning an MAGP IV segment that did not comply with its objectives, for which 
an associated capacity withdrawal took place in 2003 (GT4 or kW4). 

According  to  Article  6  of  Commission  Regulation  (EC)  1438/2003,  the  corresponding 
equations are: 

GT03 = GTFR + GT1 – 0,35 GT2 + GT3 – 0,30 GT4 

kW03 = kWFR + kW1 – 0,35 kW2 + kW3 – 0,30 kW4 

Table b) - Management of entries and exits during 2003 

Table b shows Member States’ compliance, in 2003, with the following formulae (Article 7 of 
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1438/2003): 

GTt ≤ GT03 - GTa – 0,35 GT100 + GTS + ∆(GT-GRT) 

kWt ≤ kW03 - kWa – 0,35 kW100 

EN 

8 

   EN 

where: 

– 

– 

– 

– 

– 

– 

GTt or kWt  =  the  size  in  tonnage  and  power  of  the  Member  State’s  fleet  at  31 
December 2003, 

GT03 or kW03 : see table a) above; 

GTa or kWa  = capacities leaving the fleet with public aid after 31 December 2002; 

GT100  or  kW100  =  capacities  of  vessels  more  than  100  GT  entering  the  fleet  with 
public aid; 

GTS  =  safety  tonnage  granted  under  provisions  of  Article  11(5)  of  Regulation 
2371/2002; 

∆(GT-GRT)  =  balance  as  a  result  of  the  re-measurement  of  the  fleet.  This  term  is 
included  in  the  value  of  the  terms  GTt  and  GT03.  This  has  been  done  in  this  way 
because  of  the  difficulties  found  in  order  to  calculate  it,  arising  form  the  incorrect 
declaration of vessel re-measuring to the Community Fleet Register. 

Table c) - Management of reference levels during 2003 

The baselines are the sum of the MAGP IV objectives for the mainland fleets in GT 
and kW. The reference levels at 1 January 2003, (R(GT03 and R(kW03), are fixed in 
annex  I  to  Commission  Regulation(EC)  No  1438/2003.  Specific  reference  levels 
have been fixed for outermost regions in an appropriate legal framework. 

Table  c  shows  Member  States’  compliance,  during  2003,  with  the  following 
formulae (Article 4 of R. 1438/2003): 

R(GTt) = R(GT03) - GTa – 0,35 GT100 + GTS + ∆R(GT-GRT) 

R(kWt) = R(kW03) - kWa – 0,35 kW100 

– 

– 

where: 

R(GTt) or R(kWt) = The reference level in tonnage and power for the Member State’s fleet at 
31 December 2003; 

The  term  ∆R(GT-GRT)  has  not  been  included.  This  will  only  be  done  once  the  reference 
levels are updated to take into account the effect of the re-measurement of the fleet.
