Member States fisheries control programmes

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

The  Community  has  been  providing  financial  assistance  to  Member  States  for  fisheries 
control  since  1991.  This  policy  is  based  on  the  fact  that  policing  involves  high  costs, 
particularly on inspection at sea by means of patrol vessels and aircraft, and for investment in 
technology and Information Technology (IT) networks. 

With  this  objective  in  mind,  four  Council  Decisions  have  been  adopted  providing  for 
Community  support  for  Member States'  expenditure  on  fisheries  inspection:  Decision 
89/631/EEC covering 1991  to  1995,  Decision 95/527/EEC covering  1996 to 2000, Decision 
2001/431/EC covering 2001 to 2003 and Decision 2004/465/EC covering 2004 and 2005. An 
analysis  of  results  of  this  scheme  clearly  indicates  that  Community  financial  assistance  to 
Member States has had a very positive impact on their inspection systems. 

Decision 2004/465/EC expires on 31.12.2005 and the new financial framework for fisheries 
(covering  the  period  2007  –  2013)  will  not  come  into  force  until  2007.  Hence  the  current 
financial scheme adopted under Decision 2004/465/EC needs to be extended for one year so 
that  Community  support  on  expenditure  planned  by  Member  States  on  fisheries  control 
continues to be available until the new financial scheme is in force, and in order to encourage 
investments  by  Member  States  in  this  area,  taking  also  into  account  the  needs  of  the 
Community Fisheries Control Agency.  

The  proposed  Decision  is  in  substance  a  renewal  for  one  year  of  Decision  2004/465/EC. 
Priorities  and  actions  suitable  for  Community  financial  support  remain  unchanged,  and 
periods  given  to  Member  States  to  report  on  progress  made  have  been  modified  in 
consequence Two new actions suitable for Community financial support have however been 
added  in  view  of  the  need  to  further  increase  the  level  of  technical  assistance  to  the 
Commission’s services. 

Particular attention will be given to the needs of those Member States that joined the EU in 
2004. 

The amount scheduled for 2006 is € 35 million. 

The Commission proposes to the Council to adopt the attached proposal.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 

Having  regard  to  the  Treaty  establishing  the  European  Community,  and  in  particular 
Article 37 thereof, 

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission1, 

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament2, 

Whereas:

The  Common  Fisheries  Policy  (CFP)  sets  out  general  rules  on  the  conservation, 
management  and  responsible  exploitation,  and  processing  and  marketing  of  living 
aquatic resources. 

Regulation  (EC)  No  2371/2002  of  20  December  2002  on  the  conservation  and 
sustainable  exploitation  of  fisheries  resources  under  the  Common  Fisheries  Policy3 
underlined the need to enhance co-operation and co-ordination among Member States 
and  with  the  Commission  in  order  to  strengthen  control  and  discourage  behaviour 
contrary to CFP rules.  

The  period  covered  by  Council  Decision  2004/465/EC4  on  a  Community  financial 
contribution towards Member States fisheries control programmes will expire on 31. 
December 2005. 

Due  to  domestic  budgetary  and  administrative  difficulties,  Member  States  which 
acceded  to  the  Community  on  1  May  2004  have  obtained  very  limited  Community 
financial  assistance  under  the  current  financial  scheme  foreseen  under  Decision 
2004/465/EC. 

The new financial perspective will cover  the  period  2007-2013.  In  order  to  avoid  an 
interruption of Community financial support, it is therefore necessary that the financial 
assistance  available  to  Member  States  under  Decision  2004/465/EC  is  continued 
during 2006.

CHARACTERISTICS AND OBJECTIVES 

Details  of  the  context  of  the  proposal  are  required 
in  the  Explanatory 
Memorandum.  This  section  of  the  Legislative  Financial  Statement  should  include 
the following specific complementary information: 

5.1. 

Needs to be met in the short or long term 

The objective of the Common Fisheries policy is to provide for sustainable exploitation 
of living aquatic resources and of aquaculture in the context of sustainable development. 
In  order  to  ensure  the  effective  implementation  of  the  CFP  (control,  inspection  and 
enforcement of the rules of the CFP falls within the responsibility of Member States), the 
Community  control  and  enforcement  system  for  fisheries  should  be  reinforced  and  co-
operation and co-ordination between all relevant authorities should be strengthened.  

This  goal  is  being  achieved  through  a  number  of  actions  performed  by  Member  States 
which have been financed by the Community since 1990, and consequently in line with 
the  objectives  established  under  Council  Regulation  n°  2371/2002  on  the  conservation 
and  sustainable  exploitation  of  fisheries  resources  under  the  CFP11.  The  financial 
assistance  granted  to  Member  States  by  the  Community  has  been  done  on  the  basis  of 
national programmes on expenditure for fisheries control purposes. 

5.2. 

Value-added  of  Community  involvement  and  coherence  of  the  proposal  with 
other financial instruments and possible synergy 

Regulation  n°2371/200212  establishes  the  obligations  of  Member  States  on  fisheries 
control  activities.  However,  without  constant  pressure  and  monitoring  by 
the 
Commission, Member States will not fulfil their duties in accordance with the standards 
required  by  Community  law.  Furthermore,  improvements  towards  an  efficient  control 
system  throughout  the  Community  will  be  difficult  to  achieve  without  incentives,  in 
particular when new technologies shall be tested and introduced where appropriate.  

5.3. 

Objectives, expected results and related indicators of the proposal in the context 
of the ABM framework 

Objectives: The situation as regards control means of Member States seems to be very 
much  the  same  as  in  the  beginning  of  2004.  Under-capacities  in  fishing  control  are 
especially  significant  for  new  Member  States.  It  is  thus  necessary  that  Community 
financial assistance continues to be available to Member States in 2006 in the form and 
conditions established under Decision 2004/46513.

Results: Financing rates and conditions established under Decision 2004/465/EC remain 
unchanged,  and  are  made  applicable  under  the  proposed  Decision  for  one  further  year 
until 31.12.2006.  

In  particular,  reimbursement  on  aircraft  and  vessel  expenditure  will  continue  to  be 
applied under the proposed Decision with priority to the new Member States. 

Indicators: The Commission will continue to focus on the assessment tools that can be 
considered  the  best  indicators  to  assess  the  effectiveness  of  the  policy  (i.e.  number  of 
infringements  detected  over  a  period,  the  rate  of  procedures  ended  compared  with  the 
procedures  opened,  the  number  of  inspections  at  sea  or  at  ports,  or  the  number  of 
sightings  recorded  by  the  aerial  surveillance).  The  information  provided  by  IT  systems 
able  to  collect  data  from  landing  points,  thus  controlling  the  level  of  catch  uptake  (in 
regard  to  available  quotas  and  the  status  of  stocks),  are  also  important  assessment 
elements.

MONITORING AND EVALUATION 

6.1. 

Monitoring system 

The  proposed  Decision  carries  over  for  2006  the  principles  and  rules  established  in 
Decision 2004/465/EC on this issue. Expenditure must have been incurred in compliance 
both  with  the  general  condition  specified  in  Decision  2004/465/EC  and  the  specific 
conditions provided for by the future Commission decision fixing the amount granted.  

On its side, the Commission may require Member States to carry out on-the-spot checks 
on projects or may decide to carry them out with its own officials. 

The Commission maintains as well all existing checks and balances in regard to fraud: in 
particular,  in  the  event  any  amount  has  been  unduly  paid,  it  shall  be  repaid  to  the 
Commission,  with  interest.  It  is  worth  noting  that  the  Commission  only  reimburses 
invoices that the national administrations have paid.  

Member  States  shall  report  yearly  to  the  Commission  how  their  programmes  are 
implemented, any variation they had to introduce on their programmes and  shall assess 
the  impact  of  the  expenditure  on  control,  inspection  and  surveillance  activities.  The 
proposed Decision provides for a final assessment on the 2001-2006  programmes to be 
forwarded to the Commission in 2007. 

The proposed Decision foresees that the report by the Commission on the outcome of the 
scheme will be sent to the European Parliament and the Council in 2008. In this report 
indicators mentioned above will be used to gauge the impact of this scheme. 

6.2. 

Evaluation 

6.2.1.  Ex-ante evaluation 

Through the financial scheme provided for by Decisions 89/63115, 95/52716, 2001/43117 
and 2004/46518, Member States have with no doubt reinforced their control structures and 
their  inspectors’  skills.  This  has  been  largely  assessed  in  several  documents,  such  as 
Commission’s Reports on the monitoring of the implementation of the CFP Rules by the 
Member States. Extensive details on the effects of such actions have also been given in 
the  Legislative  Financial  Statement  of  Council  Decision  2004/465/EC,  in  the  Report  of 
the  Commission  to  the  Council  and  European  Parliament  on  Decision  89/63119,  the 
Report of  May 2000 on Decision 95/52720 and the Commission Communication on the 
compliance  with  the  rules  of  the  CFP  of  June  2003,  which  set  up  a  Compliance

scoreboard and was made available to the general public through the Commission's web-
site21.  

If  an  overall  conclusion  is  to  be  drawn  from  these  documents,  is  that  without  further 
investments in equipment and training, the control systems of Member States will not be 
able to correspond to the standards required by Community law.  

In  addition,  attention  must  be  drawn  to  the  fact  that  ten  new  Member  States  joined  the 
Community on 1st May 2004, and that during 2004 some of these Member States faced 
internal budgetary problems which have made them have to delay certain expenditure on 
fisheries  control  for  one  or  two  years.  Hence,  in  order  to  facilitate  and  speed  up  the 
attainment  of  Community  standards  in  the  fisheries  control  field,  financial  aid  will 
continue to be necessary in the interim period between the expiry of Decision 2004/465 
(i.e.  31.12.2005)  and  the  date  when  the  future  Fisheries  Control  Agency  becomes  fully 
operational. 

6.2.2.  Measures  taken  following  an  intermediate/ex-post  evaluation  (lessons  learned 

from similar experiences in the past) 

Though  assessment  is  very  much  dependant  on  specific  monitoring,  control  and 
surveillance strategies adopted by each Member States (which are in turn a consequence 
of  the  different  features  of  the  fleet,  the  size  of  fishing  grounds,  quantity  and  value  of 
catches landed), it appears that there is still room for improvement on the main issues of 
control  i.e.  patrol  vessels  and  aircraft  and  technology  systems  and  their  network,  the 
fitting  on  board  of  Vessel  Monitoring  Systems  on  board  vessels,  and  training,  the 
enhancement  of  pilot  projects  and  cost/benefit  analysis  of  expenditure  in  the  control 
activity (in the case of all Member States). 

Moreover, it is proposed to finance two new actions: the first will be aimed at setting up 
administrative  arrangements  with  the  Community  Joint  Research  Centre  (JRC),  so  that 
this body may provide technical assistance in the development of control techniques. The 
second  will  allow  the  Commission’s  services  to  carry  out  studies  on  matters  related  to 
control issues. 

6.2.3.  Terms and frequency of future evaluation 

The  proposed  Council  Decision  only  affects  the  reports  foreseen  in  Decision 
2004/465/EC (articles 16 and 17) in their timing. All other elements of reporting already 
foreseen remain unchanged.  

The  final  report  to  be  drawn  up  by  the  Member  States  before  31.12.2007  will  allow  a 
thorough ex post evaluation of the scheme which will be presented the following year by 
the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council.

In the matter of control, it is not easy to quantify the results, especially in the short term. 
The overall goal of this initiative is to enhance a control culture among the stakeholders 
in  the  fisheries  sector  which  will  allow  an  unreserved  compliance  with  the  CFP  rules. 
Without  effective  control,  conservation  rules  are  useless;  without  adherence  to  rules, 
control activities will never be successful.

ANTI-FRAUD MEASURES  

The Member States shall verify and certify that expenditure for which a reimbursement is 
claimed has been incurred in compliance with the rules laid down by the Decision. If the 
Commission considers that the claim does not comply with the conditions laid down, it 
shall refuse to reimburse all or part of the expenditure at issue. 

The Members States shall provide the Commission with any information it may request 
and  they  must  keep  supporting  documents  available  to  the  Commission  for  at  least  5 
years from the date of reimbursement. 

Commission officials may carry out or take part on ex-post control.  

In the event of irregularity, any amount unduly paid shall be repaid to the Commission, 
together with interest.
