INTRODUCTION 

Article  14  of  Council  Regulation  (EC)  No 2371/20021  and  Article  12  of  Commission 
Regulation (EC) No 1438/20032 require 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  2004  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 (EC) No1438/2003 on implementing rules for fleet policy; 

the second part shows the development of Member States’ fleet capacities in 2004 in 
the form of numeric tables containing the relevant information on the management of 
entries and exits of vessels for each national fleet. 

During  2004,  Czech  Republic,  Estonia,  Cyprus,  Latvia,  Lithuania,  Hungary,  Malta,  Poland, 
Slovenia  and  Slovakia  (hereinafter  new  Member  States)  joined  the  European  Union.  7  of 
them,  namely  Estonia,  Cyprus,  Latvia,  Lithuania,  Malta,  Poland  and  Slovenia  have  a  sea 
fishing fleet, which has been registered in the Community Fleet Register. Therefore they are 
also  subject  to  submit  an  annual  report  on  their  fleet  as  from  1st  May  2004,  the  date  of 
accession, up to 31st December 2004.  

2. 

FLEET MANAGEMENT IN THE REFORMED COMMON FISHERIES POLICY 

Following the reform of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) adopted in December 2002, the 
fishing  fleets  are  managed  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tonnage and power, introduced into the fleet cannot be higher than capacity withdrawn from 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 (EC) No 2371/2002). For entries of new vessels between 100 and 400 GT 
built  with  public  aid  (the  administrative  decisions  granting  aid  were  possible  only  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 (EC) No 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  national  fleets  cannot  increase 
with respect to its levels on: 

– 

– 

1  January  2003  for  EU-15  Member  States  in  accordance  with  Article  6  and  7  of 
Commission Regulation (EC) No 1438/2003; 

1  May  2004  for  new  Member  States  in  accordance  with  Article  1(2)  and  1(3)  of 
Commission Regulation (EC) No 916/2004. 

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 administrative 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 in EU-15 Member States and, 

between 1 May 2001 and 30 April 2004 for vessels which enter the fleet after 1 May 
2004 in new Member States. 

These  entries  have  to  take  place  at  the  most  3  years  after  the  date  of  the  administrative 
decision (i.e. for EU-15 Member States at the latest by the end of 2005 and for new Member 
States  until  30  April  2007)  and  must  comply  with  the  rules  that  existed  at  that  time,  in 
particular  Article  9  of  the  Council  Regulation  (EC)  No  2792/1999  regarding  Community 
structural assistance in the fisheries sector. 

b) 

Reference Levels (mainland fleet) 

The reference levels for the fleets of Member States are the sum of the global final objectives 
of  Multiannual  Guidance  Programme  (MAGP  IV)  as  established  by  Article  12  of  Council 
Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002. The general rule is that 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 which 
gave aid to construction of vessels until the end of 2004 will see their initial 2003 reference 
level reduced at least by 3% by the end of 2004.  

Since  most  Member  States  were  already  well  below this reference  level at  the beginning of 
2004 its impact is not very significant. Compliance with this rule is, however, assessed in the 
annual report for 2004.

   EN 

 
Since  the  reference  levels  are  a  legacy  of  MAGP  IV4  (period  1997  –  2002),  the  Council 
decided  that  they  would  not  apply  to  the  new  Member  States  (Council  Regulation  (EC)  No 
1242/20045). 

c) 

Management of fleet reference levels in the outermost regions 

The  fishing  fleets  registered  in  the  Community  outermost  regions,  namely  the  French 
Overseas  Departments,  the  Spanish  Canary  Islands  and  the  Portuguese  Azores  and  Madera 
have  to  comply  with  specific  reference  levels  for  these  regions  in  accordance  with  Council 
Regulation (EC) No 639/20046 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 2104/20047.  

d) 

Measurement of tonnage 

The measurement of the Community fleet is based on Council Regulation (EC) No 3259/948 
and Commission Decision No 95/84/EC9. These legislative acts establish that the tonnage of 
vessels  of  15  m  in  length  or  more  has  to  be  measured  in  accordance  with  the  London 
Convention, i.e. as a function of the vessel’s total enclosed volume, while for vessels of less 
than  15  m  in  length,  the  regulation  defines  a  system  of  tonnage  calculation  based  on  an 
estimate of the hull’s volume.  

The  fleet  should  have  been  entirely  measured  in  accordance  with  Community  law  by  31 
December 2003. Nevertheless, at the end of 2004, there remained some vessels that were not 
measured in GT. 

In cases where the measurement of the fleet has not been completed, the tonnage figures used 
in  this  report  are  a  mixture  of  GT  and  GRT.  That  is,  for  vessels  whose  GT  tonnage  is  not 
available the GRT value is used.

COMMUNITY FISHING FLEET REGISTER 

In  2004,  the  new  Community  Fleet  Register  was  set  up  in  accordance  with  Commission 
Regulation (EC) No 26/2004. It became operational on 1st September 2004. This change was 
necessary  in  order  to  follow  up  the  new  rules  for  managing  the  fishing  capacity  of  the  EU 
fleet  which  entered  into  force  on  1st  January  2003.  This  system,  following  the  2002  CFP 
reform, gives more responsibility to the Member States in achieving a better balance between 
the fishing capacity of their fleets and the available resources.  

The  main  tool  for  monitoring  the  fishing  fleet  is  the  Community  Fleet  Register  (CFR). 
Member  States  are  obliged  on  a  regular  basis  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 Technical Annexes 1, 2 
and 3 has been taken from the CFR, with the exception of:

SUMMARY OF MEMBER STATES’ ANNUAL REPORTS 

Only half of the Member States submitted their annual reports within the fixed deadline of 30 
April  2005;  some  reports  were  delayed  by  up  to  two  months.  Despite  several  remainders, 
Slovenia did not submit its annual report. As a consequence of these delays, the Commission 
faced serious difficulties in respecting its deadlines for the submission of the summary report 
to the STECF and the Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture.  

The  format  and  content  fixed  by  the  regulation  has  not  always  been  respected  and  the 
information included is not homogenous, which makes a common assessment of the Member 
States’ reports problematic. Only some Member States included in their reports an assessment 
of the balance between fishing fleet capacity and available fishing opportunities.  

a) 

Description of the fleets in relation to the state of fisheries 

Taking  into  account  the  strict  rules  for  fleet  capacity  management  both  at  Community  and 
subsequently at national level, compared with 2003, there were no major changes during the 
year 2004 in the EU-15 Member States’ fleet figures. Regarding the new Member States the 
Commission  may  access  the  national  fishing  fleet  developments  of  these  countries  only 
starting from 1 May 2004 and cannot provide a comparison with 2003.  

The Member States’ annual reports provided a general description of the fishing fleets (e.g. 
number  of  vessels,  capacity,  target  species  and  fishing  areas)  and  explanation  of  the  fleet 
segmentation system. Nevertheless, Member States used various segmentation systems: some 
Member States kept the MAGP IV segmentation, others used target species and fishing areas 
and some classified vessels by length or fishing gear. 

The  majority  of  Member  States  have  reduced  the  capacity  of  their  fleets  during  2004  by 
means  of  decommissioning  schemes.  Some  Member  States  stated  that  capacity  reduction 
measures  may  be  even  stricter  in  future.  Denmark,  for  example,  noted  that  a  national 
decommissioning  scheme  has  been  heavily  oversubscribed  but  France  stressed  that  fishing 
vessel  modernisation  measures  are  also  a  key  factor  in  the  sustainable  management  of 
resources. 

It is important to note that within the Member States various measures are employed to ensure 
the  sustainable  management  of  fishing  resources:  fleet  capacity  reduction,  limits  of  fishing 
days, restricted access to resources at national level, limited number  of  fishing  licences,  the 
allocation of fishing quotas, etc. For instance, in the United Kingdom fishing licences are the 
main fleet management tool.  

Member  States  have  found  it  difficult  to  establish  a  direct  link  between  aid  for  permanent 
withdrawal  or  construction  and  developments  in  the  state  of  stocks.  This  may  be  explained 
because  some  time  is  needed  to  see  the  impact  of  decommissioning  on  the  state  of  stocks. 

EN

   EN 

 
Resources  are  also  dependent  on  the  rates  of  stock  removal  and  fishing  effort  authorised  at 
Community  and  national  level.  Nevertheless,  Germany  made  a  substantial  analysis  of  the 
developments of national fishing fleet capacity linked to the available fish stocks and assessed 
capacity developments over 2003 – 2004.  

b) 

Impact of effort reduction schemes on capacity 

Cod recovery measures were the main effort reduction schemes applicable for Member States. 
Belgium, Denmark, France, Ireland, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom reported that 
they  have  been  directly  affected  by  fishing  effort  reduction  measures  in  2004.  Particularly 
restrictions  applied  under  Annex  V  of  Council  Regulation  (EC)  No  2287/2003  (hereafter 
Annex V) to the Kattegat, North Sea and Skagerrak, West of Scotland, Eastern Channel and 
Irish Sea. The implementation of these measures involved limiting the number of days which 
vessels  spent  at  sea  and  the  fishing  gear  used.  The  majority  of  Member  States  concerned 
reported an overall decrease in their fishing effort.  

Denmark provided detailed information on the impact of the cod recovery plan for the North 
Sea  in  accordance  with  Annex  V.  Its  annual  report  shows  the  development  trends  in  the 
Danish fleet both tonnage and engine power in 2002 – 2004, divided by fleet segment (fishing 
vessel/gear type) and reported an overall reduction during 2004 in terms of “days/vessel” and 
“Kw.days/vessel”. The capacity of the Danish fleet was reduced by approximately 5000 GT 
(5%  of  total  fishing  fleet  tonnage)  by  means  of  decommissioning  schemes  during  2003  and 
2004. 

The United Kingdom reported that the key effort control systems affecting their fleet in 2004 
were the Western Waters effort regime, the Deep Water Species regime and the cod recovery 
plan. UK authorities noted an overall reduction in fishing effort under these measures and as a 
complement to the annual report submitted analytical research on fishing effort by UK vessels 
from  2001  to  2004  related  to  the  cod  recovery  plan.  The  reduction  in  fishing  effort  was 
achieved  mainly  through  a  decommissioning  scheme  targeting  vessels  fishing  significant 
amount of cod. In this way 16,600 GT left the UK’s fishing fleet at the end of 2003 and the 
beginning of 2004. 

Sweden stated that the North Sea cod recovery plan restricted fishing effort for cod and this 
led  to  reduced  opportunities  for  combining  cod  fishing  in  the  Baltic  Sea  with  fishing  in 
Kattegatt  and  the  North  Sea/Skagerrak.  In  addition,  the  number  of  fishing  days  has  been 
reduced  and  gear  restrictions  have  been  introduced,  thus  further  limiting  the  fishing  effort 
under the recovery plan.  

The  capacity  of  the  French  mainland  fleet  has  been  reduced  mainly  during  2004  by 
approximately  12,000  GT,  representing  6%  of  its  capacity.  The  decommissioning  scheme 
aimed mainly the segment of trawlers targeting pelagic and demersal species in the North Sea, 
the Channel and the Atlantic area. 

Several Member States fishing in the Baltic Sea noted that because of the very poor condition 
of cod stocks and the low level of available fishing quotas in the Baltic Sea there is a risk of 
fleet  overcapacity.  Poland  and  Latvia  reported  that  owners  of  fishing  vessels  are  actively 
applying for decommissioning with the assistance of the Community aid because of the poor 
condition  of  fish  stocks  in  the  Baltic  Sea,  particularly  cod.  The  capacity  withdrawn  with 
public aid was of 2% of the tonnage in Latvia (950 GT) and 1.8 % in Poland (800 GT), but it 
should be noted that this reduction corresponds to a period of only 7 months. 

EN

   EN 

 
Finland reported no special effort reduction schemes in 2004. However the Finish authorities 
included in their annual report a description of the exploitation percentage of TAC and quotas 
and  stated  that  higher  demanded  quotas  were  herring,  sprat  and  cod.  Additionally  Finland 
stated that fishing capacity is relatively high compared to the fishing possibilities. 

There  was  a  significant  amount  of  capacity  decommissioned  in  the  Mediterranean  by  Italy, 
Greece  and  Spain  but  these  cannot  be  attributed  to  effort  reduction  measures  adopted  at 
Community level. 

c) 

Strengths and weaknesses 

Implementation of the entry-exit regime and of the new reporting systems to send data to the 
Commission was a significant administrative task for most Member States during 2004. The 
main  difficulties  were  organisational  and  related  to  the  development  and  implementation  of 
informatics tools.  

Some  new  Member  States  stressed  their  limited  fleet  management  administrative  capacity. 
Despite the fact that, in general, new Member States’ administrations had adapted before the 
accession date to cope with the new administrative procedures, some practical changes came 
along  with  experience  gained  during  2004.  Some  of  the  new  Member  States  noted  that 
because  of  the  accession  to  the  EU,  the  year  2004  was  a  transitional  period  for  the  entire 
national fisheries sector, including the administration.  

Despite  the  difficulties,  all  Member  States’  fleet  register  information  systems  have  been 
revised and updated to send the data to the Community Fishing Fleet Register in accordance 
with Commission Regulation (EC) No 26/2004. Some Member States noted that the quality of 
the data they send to the Commission significantly improved during 2004 and that an ongoing 
process of data cross-checking and verification is still taking place. 

In parallel with these changes some Member States have developed new integrated fisheries 
information systems and various software applications have been introduced or significantly 
improved  or  developed.  This  was,  for  example,  the  case  for  Poland,  Ireland,  Finland, 
Denmark,  Portugal  and  Latvia.  These  systems,  which  link  together  all  major  fishing 
management  tools  (e.g.  fleet  register,  capacity  management,  licences,  landings,  available 
quotas,  etc.)  and  in  most  cases  also  several  responsible  administrative  bodies,  have 
considerably strengthened national fishing fleet administrations. 

Greece  noted  that  the  large  amount  of  information  and  data  which  the  Member  States  must 
collect  in  order  to  transmit  the  reports  to  the  Commission,  in  conjunction  with  the  large 
number of vessels in Greece and the innumerable daily changes in these data, have led to an 
increase  in  bureaucratic  procedures  resulting  in  shortcomings  and  delays  both  in  recording 
changes  in  fishing  vessels  and  sending  them  to  the  Commission  and  in  collecting,  cross-
checking and verifying the data required in order to transmit the annual reports.  

The French authorities consider that the overall system for managing the fishing fleet, which 
was  implemented  as  from  1  January  2003  and  is  accompanied  by  the  possibility  of 
management  plans  and  recovery  plans,  represents  a  marked  improvement  compared  with 
MAGP IV. 

Despite  the  above-mentioned  problems,  in  general  Member  States  considered  that  their 
national  administrations  have  now  adapted  the  entry-exit  regime  and  the  fishing  fleet  data 
reporting to the Commission. Moreover in 2004 a good and functional entry-exit management 

EN 

9 

   EN 

 
scheme has been established in all Member States. Additionally, some Member States noted 
that  thanks  to  new  Community  fleet  register  reporting  system  the  data  in  their  national 
registers are now more accurate and complete. 

In  their  reports,  all  Member  States  confirmed  their  compliance  with  the  reference  level  and 
entry-exit regime, despite the slight non compliance shown by the data from the CFR.  

Member States declared that the introduction of the entry-exit system contributed in 2004 to 
stabilising the balance between the available fishing resources and fishing capacity and that at 
national level it is important ensure that the fleet capacity adjustments generally are following 
the stock trends.  

Sweden  noted  that  the  entry-exit  scheme  has  not  proved  adequate  as  an  instrument  for 
regulating  fleet  capacity  and  that  additional  reductions  in  capacity  would  also  be  needed  in 
order  to  achieve  a  balance  between  fishing  capacity  and  available  resources.  This  is  also  a 
prerequisite  for  the  long-term  viability  of  the  fishing  fleet  and  the  recruitment  of  new 
fishermen.  As  fish  stocks  are  expected  to  remain  fragile  over  the  coming  years,  a  further 
reduction in the size of the fleet is also to be expected.  

d) 

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

Compliance with the entry-exit regime and with the reference levels (if applicable) at the end 
of  2004 is laid down in the Technical Annexes 1, 2 by  application  of the formulae fixed in 
Commission  Regulation  (EC)  No  1438/2003.  These  technical  annexes  provide  overall 
information on compliance and also of each Member State individually.

CONCLUSIONS FROM THE COMMISSION 

The quality of the reports submitted by Member States has improved with respect to that of 
last  year.  Some  Member  States  provided  very  detailed  reports,  whose  content  sometimes 
exceeded  the  information  they  were  obliged  to  provide.  Almost  all  the  new  Member  States 
provided good quality information despite the fact that it was their first annual report on fleet 
management.  Nevertheless,  several  Member  States  did  not  respect  the  annual  report  format 
and content established in Article 13 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1438/2003.  

Generally  speaking,  Member  States  emphasised  in  their  reports  the  implementation  of 
national  fleet  management  rather  than  the  assessment  of  the  balance  between  fishing  fleet 
capacity and available fishing opportunities.  

Results  for  the  mainland  fleet  (Community  fleet  except  vessels  registered  in  the 
outermost regions): 

According to the Community Fleet Register10 during 2003 and 2004, the overall capacity of 
the  Community  fleet  of  the  EU-15  Member  States  was  reduced  by  66.500  GT  and  322.000 
kW, which represents a net reduction of 3.6 % of the total tonnage and 4.7 % of power of the 
EU-15  fleet.  The  net  reduction  during  2004  was  of  approximately  23,000  GT  while  it  was 
around 43,000 GT in 2003.  

During 2003 and 2004 approximately 79,000 GT were withdrawn from the EU-15 fleet with 
public  aid  support,  which  means  that  this  capacity  cannot  be  replaced.  The  apparent 
contradiction arising from the fact that the capacity withdrawn with public is grater than the 
net  capacity  reduction  is  explained  by  the  transitional  measures  allowing  for  the  entry  of 
vessels  into  the  fleet  not  subject  to  the  entry-exit  regime.  These  provisions  applied  to  the 
entries decided before the adoption of the new regulations and that had not taken place on 1 
January 2003. The transitional period for the EU-15 Member States will come to an end on 31 
December 2005. 

In new Member States, starting from 1 May 2004, fleet capacity has been reduced by 7,000 
GT and 18,800 kW, which represents a reduction of 3.1 % in the total tonnage and 3.3 % of 
power in the new Member States’ fleets. The great majority of the capacity withdrawn by the 
new Member States left the fleet without public aid. 

Tables 1 and 2 in the technical annex 1 summarise compliance, at 31 December 2004, with 
the  entry-exit  regime  and  the  reference  levels. A  majority  of  Member  States  have  complied 
with these rules. However, Greece and Slovenia did not comply with the entry-exit regime in 
terms  of  power.  Nevertheless,  the  degree  of  non-compliance  for  the  above  mentioned 
countries is very small. The Greek authorities contest the assessment of the Commission and 
point  out  that  the  failure  to  respect  the  entry-exit  regime  in  terms  of  power  is  due  to  the 
transmission of incorrect data concerning the exits financed with public aid. According to the 
assessment made by the Greek authorities, Greece has complied with the entry exit regime.

The  capacity  of  the  French  mainland  fleet  has  slightly  exceeded  the  tonnage  ceiling  during 
part  of  the  two  year  period  assessed  in  this  report,  although  it  complies  with  it  on  the  31 
December 2004. 

Tables 3 and 4 in the technical annex 1 provide a summary of the variation in fleet capacity 
from 1 January 2003 (1 May 2004 for the new Member States) to 31 December 2004. These 
tables include also the number of vessels. Table 3 covers all Member States. 

The detailed assessment per Member State is included in the technical annex 2. 

Results for the fleets registered in the outermost regions: 

The  capacity  of  the  fleets  registered  in  the  outermost  regions  and  its  variation  between  1 
January 2003 and 31 December 2004 are shown in Table 4. 

The tables in the technical annex 3 show the details of the application of the special regime 
for these fleets. One of the 17 outermost regions segments had exceeded their reference level 
in terms of power at the end of 2004, namely, the segment ‘4FJ - vessels under 12 m in length 
of  the  French  Department  of  Martinique’.  The  special  regime  ceases  to  apply  to  these 
segments from the moment they reached their maximum reference level. 

As explained above, this summary report is based on the Member States’ annual reports and 
on  the  data  extracted  from  the  CFR,  except  where  these  data  were  not  available.  Some 
discrepancies remain between the data presented by Member States in their reports and those 
resulting from their declarations to the CFR. These discrepancies are less important than the 
ones  found  in  previous  years  but  show  that  an  additional  effort  should  be  made  in  order  to 
eliminate them completely. The data presented by MS in their national reports do not modify 
the conclusions of the report. 

It is important to note that some Member States have not yet completed the measurement of 
their fleet in GT tons in accordance with Community law. 

According to Article 16 of Council Regulation (EC) No 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.  Additionally,  they  may  be  subject  to  a  proportionate  suspension  of  the 
Community financial assistance under the FIFG. 

For further improvement of the annual reports the Commission, together with the Committee 
for Fisheries and Aquaculture, should establish more detailed guidelines for their content and 
introduce  a  common  harmonised  methodological  approach  with  greater  emphasis  on  an 
analysis of the development of fishing capacity in relation to the available fish stocks. These 
issues  will  be  discussed  in  forthcoming  meetings  of  the  Committee  for  Fisheries  and 
Aquaculture. 

In  forthcoming  annual  reports  more  attention  should  be  paid  to  the  contribution  of  the  new 
regime adopted in 2002 to manage the Community fleet to a better balance between fleets and 
fish stocks. The impact of national decommissioning schemes, in particular on fishing effort 
reductions  in  fisheries  subject  to  management  or  recovery  plans,  should  be  better  identified 
and assessed.

TECHNICAL ANNEX 2 – RESULTS BY MEMBER STATE (EXCLUDING OUTERMOST 
REGIONS) 

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

–  The entry/exit level; The levels of reference (not applicable to the new Member States). 

A comparison between above mentioned levels and the situation of the fleet on 31 December 
2004  has  been  made  based  on  data  collected  from  the  Community  Fleet  Register  on  6th 
October  2005  and  on  data  from  Member  States’  national  reports.  For  each  Member  State’s 
fleet the following tables are shown: 

Table a)  Calculation of baselines: 

–  (GT03 and kW03) at 1 January 2003 for the EU-15 Member States 

–  (GT04 and kW04) at 1 May 2004 for the new Member States 

The baselines (GT03 and kW03) against which entries and exits over 2003 and 2004 must be 
assessed for EU-15 Member States are: 

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

EU-15 Member States (GTFR and kWFR), 

–  plus the capacity entered into the fleet in 2003 and 2004 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  2004  (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 and 2004 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 2004 (GT2 or kW2), 

–  minus 30% of the capacity entered into the fleet in 2003 and 2004 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 2004 (GT4 or kW4). 

According  to  Article  6  of  Commission  Regulation  (EC)  No  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 

The baselines (GT04 and kW04) against which entries and exits over 2003 and 2004 must be 
assessed for new Member States are: 

EN 

17 

   EN 

 
–  the capacity identified in the Community Fishing Fleet Register at 1 May 2004 for the EU-

15 Member States (GTFR and kWFR); 

–  plus  the  capacity  entered  into  the  fleet  after  the  1  May  2004  based  on  administrative 

decisions taken between 1 May 2001 and 30 April 2004 (GT1 and kW1). 

According  to  Article  1  of  Commission  Regulation  (EC)  No  916/2004,  the  corresponding 
equations are: 

GT04 = GTFR + GT1 

kW04 = kWFR + kW1 

Table b)  Management of entries and exits during 2004 

Table b) shows Member States’ compliance with the entries and exits regime at 31 December 
2004. Calculations have been made in accordance with the following formulas: 

For the EU-15 Member States (Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1438/2003): 

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

kWt ≤ kW03 - kWa – 0,35 kW100 

where: 

- GTt or kWt 
2004, 

= the size in tonnage and power of the Member State’s fleet at 31 December 

- 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; 

=  balance  as  a  result  of  the  re-measurement  of  the  fleet.  This  term  is 
- ∆(GT-GRT) 
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. 

For the new Member States (Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 916/2004): 

GTt ≤ GT04 - GTa – 0,35 GT100 + GTS + ∆(GT-GRT) 
kWt ≤ kW04 - kWa – 0,35 kW100 

where: 

EN 

18 

   EN 

 
- GTt or kWt 
2004, 

= the size in tonnage and power of the Member State’s fleet at 31 December 

- GT04 or kW04 :(see table a) above; 

- GTa or kWa 

= capacities leaving the fleet with public aid after 30 April 2004; 

- GT100 or kW100 = capacities of vessels more than 100 GT entering the fleet with public aid 
granted after 30 April 2004; 

- GTS = safety tonnage granted under provisions of Article 11(5) of Council Regulation (EC) 
No 2371/2002; 

- ∆(GT-GRT) 

= balance as a result of the re-measurement of the fleet.  

Table c)  Reference levels at the end of 2004 

–  The baselines are the sum of the MAGP IV objectives for the mainland fleets in GT and 
kW. The reference levels at 1 January 2004, (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  2004,  with  the  following  formulae 

(Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 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 2004; 

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. 

Note:  Reference  levels  are  not  applicable  to  the  new  Member  States  in  accordance  with 
Council Regulation (EC) No 1242/2004. 

Section d) Graphs 

The  continuous  evolution  of  the  capacity  of  the  fleet  in  tonnage  and  power  is  compared 
graphically with the capacity ceilings calculated in accordance with Article 7 of Commission 
Regulation (EC) No1438/2003 as explained above. 

The capacity ceiling is fixed on the 1 January 2003 based on the capacity of the fleet on that 
date plus the capacity of the entries into the fleet decided before and that had not taken place 
on  that  date  (baseline  calculation  in  table  a).  After  1  January  2003,  the  fleet  ceiling  cannot 
increase  (except  for  the  so  called  safety  tonnage  GTs)  and  is  reduced  each  time  capacity  is 
withdrawn from the fleet with public aid. 

EN 

19 

   EN 

 
The capacity of the fleet follows generally a downward trend. Exceptionally, an increase may 
be seen and this may be due to, 

a) Entries of capacity decided before the reform (transitional measures). 

b) Exits without public aid whose replacement comes in some time later. 

However,  apparent  decreases  followed  by  an  increase  in  capacity  may  also  be  due  to 
declarations to the Community Fleet Register using incorrect codes.

TECHNICAL ANNEX 3 - RESULTS OF THE OUTERMOST REGIONS FLEETS MANAGMENT 

This annex shows Member States compliance at 31 December 2004, with the capacity levels 
for  outermost  regions  in  accordance  with  Council  Regulation  (EC)  No  639/2004  and 
Commission Regulation (EC) No 2104/2004. 

The reference levels for the outermost regions were fixed for each segment of the fleet on the 
1  January  2003.  At  any  later  date,  the  reference  level  for  each  segment  is  calculated  by 
deducting  from  the  initial  reference  levels  the  capacity  withdrawn  with  public  aid  for  that 
particular segment. 

It  is  in  this  way  that  the  graphs  presented  below  have  been  calculated.  Each  of  the  tables 
summarises the situation on 31 December 2004
