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. Member States' reports are 
available  on  the  "Europa"  web  site3.  On  the  basis  of  these  reports  and  the  data  in  the 
Community Fishing Fleet Register4 the Commission produced for the year 2005 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 2005 in 
the  form  of  numeric  tables  and  graphs  containing  the  relevant  information  on  the 
management of entries and exits of vessels for each national fleet.

FLEET MANAGEMENT IN THE REFORMED COMMON FISHERIES POLICY 

According 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introduced  into  the  fleet  cannot  be  higher  than  capacity  withdrawn  from  it  (see  Technical 
Annex 1).  

3. 

SUMMARY OF MEMBER STATES’ ANNUAL REPORTS 

This  year  again  only  ten  Member  States  submitted  their  annual  reports  before  the  fixed 
deadline  of  30  April  2006;  remaining  reports  were  delayed  (for  example,  Italy  or  France 
submitted  their  reports  months  after  the  deadline).  The  United  Kingdom  did  not  submit  an 
annual  report.  Furthermore,  the  information  included  in  Member  States'  reports  is  not 
homogenous  and  sometimes  the  format/content  of  annual  reports  has  not  been  respected. 
Additionally, several Member States again exceeded the maximum 10 page length of report 
and attached numerous annexes and explanatory tables.  

As  a  consequence  of  the  above  mentioned  inconsistencies,  a  common  assessment  of  the 
Member  States’  reports  was  problematic  and  the  Commission  faced  serious  difficulties  to 
respect its deadline  (31 July 2006) for the submission of the summary report to the STECF 
and the Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture.

a) Description of the fleets in relation to the state of fisheries 

The  Member  States’  annual  reports  provided  a  general  description  of  the  fishing  fleets  by 
number  of  vessels,  capacity,  target  species  and  fishing  areas.  Furthermore,  Member  States 
used  various  segmentation  systems;  some  kept  the  old  MAGP  IV  segmentation,  others 
applied their own national segmentation systems. Generally speaking the national fishing fleet 
segmentation is managed in the following way:  

–  the  MAGP  IV  segmentation  is  used  by  Germany,  France,  Portugal,  Finland  and  Ireland 

(with some additions); 

–  by vessels type/fishing gear/ overall length in Denmark and Cyprus; 

–  by overall length and fishing gear in Greece and Slovenia; 

–  by fishing gear in Belgium; 

–  by geographical fishing grounds and type of fishing vessels in Spain, Latvia, Lithuania and 

Poland; 

–  by overall length, fishing grounds, the fishing gear used and the species of fish caught in 

Estonia and Sweden (with exception of using fishing grounds as an indicator); 

–  is  divided  in  two:  aquaculture  and  mainland  fleet  (mainly  cutters)  segment  in  the 

Netherlands. 

A number of Member States stressed that the small-scale coastal fisheries fleet (representing 
more than 80 % of the total Community fishing fleet) has a very important socio – economic 
impact on coastal communities. Better management and development of this sector is set as a 
priority task, for example, in Sweden and Greece. 

Most of Member States in their reports tried to assess the balance between their fishing fleet 
capacity  and  available  fishing  opportunities.  Various  approaches  were  used  to  identify  the 
correlations  between  available  fish  stocks  and  their  fleets.  Several  Member  States  made 
analysis  of  the  available  fish  stocks  linked  to  the  capacity  changes  in  each  of  their  fleet 
segments.  Some  Member  States  used  a  more  socio-economic  approach  to  evaluate  their 
fishing fleet capacity developments. 

In 2005 various measures were employed by Member States to reach a better balance between 
of available resources and fishing fleets: fleet capacity reductions, limitations of fishing days, 
restrictions  on  access  to  resources  at  national  level,  limitations  of  the  number  of  fishing 
licences, allocation of fishing quotas, etc. All Member States reported a gradual reduction of 
fleet capacity, both in GT and in kW, in 2005, achieved mainly by means of decommissioning 
schemes.  

b) Impact of effort reduction schemes on capacity 

As  mentioned  above  different  recovery  measures  and  effort  reduction  schemes  were 
applicable for Member States in 2005. All Member States fishing in the Kattegat, North Sea 
and  Skagerrak,  West  of  Scotland,  Eastern  Channel,  Irish  Sea,  the  Bay  of  Biscay,  the 
Cantabrian  Sea  and  Western  Iberia  and  the  Baltic  Sea,  were  affected  by  the  fishing  effort 
reduction measures (some of them are laid down in Council Regulation (EC) No 27/20055).

Generally, 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 a steady overall decrease in their fishing 
effort. Furthermore, Member States concerned reported that the decrease in their fishing effort 
has  been  achieved  mainly  by  the  application  of  various  fishing  effort  limitation  and 
decommissioning  schemes,  both  at  Community  and  at  national  level.  Some  Member  States 
stated  that  the  increase  in  fuel  prices  during  2005  also  played  a  significant  role  in  the 
reduction  of  their  fishing  effort.  The  following  and  some  comments  by  Member  States 
regarding fishing effort schemes in 2005: 

Belgium:  in  2005  fleet  activities  covered  the  North  Sea,  Western  Waters  and  the  Bay  of 
Biscay,  with  restrictions  imposed  in  accordance  with  Regulation  27/2005.  In  each  of  these 
areas the fleet faced a recovery or management plan (with the exception of the shrimp fleet). 
In addition, the Belgian system provides restrictions for a total number of permitted voyage 
days per vessel on an annual basis, covering all areas.  

The available days-at-sea in the cod recovery area were perceived as a genuine restriction by 
certain vessels in the beam-trawl fleet. The total number of days at sea for the entire fleet was 
not exceeded because certain vessels under-used theirs. The restriction of voyage days did not 
result in the available quota not being fished. 

Denmark: Impact of the cod recovery plan for the North Sea – 71,642 days at sea were used 
as  opposed  to  81,330  days  at  sea  in  2004,  a  reduction  of  12  %.  The  interaction  between 
resource  and  fleet  management  in  terms  of  TAC/quota  restrictions  and  effort/capacity  has 
been studied in a research project. The conclusion is that from an economic point-of-view, in 
which the economic performance of the fleet in the exploitation of the fish stocks is valued 
highly,  the  fleet  size  would  have  to  decrease.  In  an  analysis  of  4  short  term  scenarios  the 
number  of  vessels  decreases  substantially  in  all  cases  except  when  the  activity  of  vessels 
(days  at  sea)  is  limited.  In  the  long  run,  expected  gain  could  be  substantial  with  recovered 
stock. However, an equal gain could be achieved by a proper fleet management that compares 
to  the  fish  stock  management.  Work  to  establish  the  actual  balance  between  fleet  size  and 
fishing possibilities is continuing. 

Germany: Owing to the small size of the fishing fleet, fishing effort reduction schemes had 
only a limited impact on fishing capacity, almost exclusively on Baltic Sea fishing. Within the 
context  of  the  fleet  management  system  to  establish  a  sustainable  balance  between  fishing 
capacity  and  available  resources,  the  German  fishing  fleet  must  retain  sufficient  overall 
capacity to be able to use the quotas allocated to Germany. The development of the German 
fishing fleet shows that it has adapted both to the economic conditions established by the new 
CFP, and to the restricted availability of resources. This is why the German authorities did not 
need to take action on the development of the fleet. 

Estonia:  follows  TAC  reduction  for  cod  in  the  Baltic  Sea  and  the  Rebuilding  plan  in  the 
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization according to Council Regulation (EC) No 27/2005. 

Greece:  no  multiannual  management  and  stock  recovery  plans  were  applied  due  to  the 
absence of such plans for the Mediterrannean fisheries, while the application of readjustement 
measures  for  fleet  capacity  and  fishing  possibilities  under  Council  Regulation  (EC)  No 
2792/1999  and  2369/2002,  continued  in  the  framework  of  the  Operational  Programme  for 
Fisheries.

Spain:  maintained  the  approach  to  fleet  renewal  and  modernisation  initiated  in  2003,  in 
accordance  with  the  provisions  of  Regulation  2371/2002.  In  this  way,  the  management  of 
entrances and exits has made it possible to maintain a slight reduction in the fleet’s capacity 
and, consequently, in its overall fishing effort.  

During 2005, two national-scale plans were implemented in the Gulf of Cadiz fishing ground. 
These  relate  to  the  recovery  and  sustainable  management  of  trawling  and  purse-seining 
fisheries  respectively,  and  essentially  contain  measures  to  reduce  effort.  By  limiting  the 
number  of  days',  it  has  been  possible  to  reduce  fishing  effort  by  approximately  32%  on 
previous years. 

France: The capacity of the French continental fleet remained stable during 2005; no public 
aid  was  granted  for  decommissioning  during  2005.  A  new  decommissioning  scheme  is 
foreseen  in  2006  aimed  at  the  fleet  targeting  overexploited  fisheries.  The  fishing  effort 
limitations adopted in the framework of recovery plans or under the provisions of Annex IV 
to the TAC and quota regulation concern some 850 vessels; no capacity reduction has taken 
place during 2005 as a result of these measures. 

Ireland:  the  Irish  fisheries  coming  within  the  scope  of  stock  recovery  plans  are  of  a  highly 
mixed nature. As a result it is difficult to gauge the impact on fishing capacity of fishing effort 
reduction schemes. To comply with Council Regulation (EC) No 27/2005 Ireland introduced 
a  system  whereby  fishing  vessels  fishing  in  the  specified  areas  and  using  specified  fishing 
gears  were  obliged  to  complete  an  “Official  Days  at  Sea  Declaration  form”.  In  addition  to 
effort measures associated with the multi-annual recovery plan for cod in the Irish Sea and to 
the West of Scotland there is also the general effort control mechanism applicable to demersal 
species generally (as well as crab and scallops) in all waters around Ireland. Ireland monitored 
the effort levels in these fisheries and introduced management measures in order to keep the 
fleet within the effort allocations.  

In 2005 the Irish Marine Minister launched a new scheme to remove up to 25% of the older, 
larger and more active vessels in the demersal (polyvalent and beam trawl) sectors of the fleet 
and also to remove excess capacity in the scallop fleet. 22 vessels (2 464 GT and 7 742 kW in 
total) left the fleet under this scheme in 2005. 

Italy: the downward trend in landings recorded in 2005 is attributable to the reduction in both 
the  number  of  vessels  and  the  level  of  activity.  In  this  connection  it  should  be  recalled  that 
fuel  prices  have  had  a  major  impact  on  the  total  number  of  days  of  fishing,  with  many 
operators  having  to  change  their  fishing  strategy,  i.e. limit  their  fishing  effort  in  order  to 
contain operating costs. In 2005 the plan to reduce fishing capacity with the help of public aid 
has, as in previous years, produced good results. Although it has not affected the assessment 
regarding compliance with the entry/exit scheme, there has been an appreciable reduction in 
fishing effort in Italian waters in absolute terms. 

Cyprus:  two  bottom  trawlers  were  scrapped  and  two  vessels  were  reassigned  to  local 
museums. In total 2 864 GT 5 423 kW were permanently withdrawn from the fleet.  

Latvia:  during  2005,  31  vessels  were  scrapped  with  public  aid;  all  these  vessels  were 
withdrawn from the Baltic Sea fleet. The main reason why owners of these vessels applied for 
decommissioning  is  because  of  poor  condition  of  fish  stocks  in  the  Baltic  Sea.  Particularly 
cod stocks are in a very poor situation, therefore the majority of decommissioned vessels were 
cod  fishing  vessels.  Another  important  reason  for  scrapping  was  the  old  age  and  poor 

EN 

7 

   EN 

 
technical performance of the vessels, as well as the large increase in fuel costs and other costs 
for fishing operations. 

The overall impact of the fishing effort reduction scheme as well as the reduction of Latvian 
fishing fleet through vessels exported or scrapped without public aid, produced the reduction 
of  cod  fishing  vessels  capacity  by  11%.  Since  1  May  2004  this  reduction  of  capacity 
positively affects the cod stocks as well as reproduction of this the most important stock in the 
Baltic Sea. 

Lithuania: in 2005 the capacity of the fishing vessels operating in the Baltic Sea and along its 
coast, in comparison with the year 2004, was reduced by 1 576 GT and 3 104 kW - this was 
achieved by scrapping vessels with public aid. A 22% reduction of the fishing capacities of 
vessels fishing in the Baltic Sea led to an increase in fishing quotas for the remaining fishing 
vessels. 

Malta:  In  general  the  seasonality  and  fishing  patterns  during  2005  remained  the  same  as  in 
previous  years  with  no  indication  of  an  increase  in  fishing  effort  in  any  fishery.  No  fishing 
effort  reduction  schemes  were  implemented  and  no  impact  on  fishing  capacity  can  be 
reported. The management of Maltese fisheries was undertaken in compliance with  Council 
Regulation 813/2004, which established effort control measures for waters around Malta. The 
status  of  resources  exploited  by  the  Maltese  fishing  fleet  is  such  that  a  reduction  in  fishing 
capacity is not required. 

The  Netherlands:  There  has  been  a  worrying  situation  in  the  Dutch  cutter  sector  for  years, 
with reduced quotas and greatly increased costs. Plaice catch opportunities; in particular, have 
declined greatly in the past few years. Therefore, the authorities and the fishing industry have 
developed a number of initiatives to reduce the pressure on plaice stocks. One of these is to 
decommission  part  of  the  fleet  and  thus  permanently  reduce  catching  capacity.  This  has 
brought capacity closer to equilibrium with catch opportunities and is helping plaice stocks to 
recover. Another consequence is better financial prospects for the remaining fishermen, given 
that there are more catch opportunities per vessel. 

In September 2005 the sea fishing capacity reduction regulation came into force - as a result 
29 vessels were decommissioned, in total 36 092 kW and 8 982 GT. Partly as a result of this 
regulation there was a reduction in the cutter fleet which helped to strike a healthier balance 
between the fleet and existing fishing opportunities. In 2005 Dutch cutter fleet kW days in the 
North Sea recovery plan area were reduced by 15 % compared to 2004. As far as the rest of 
the fleet is concerned, its size can be justified in terms of the current size and situation of fish 
stocks. The realised capacity reduction and the reduction in the capacity utilised in 2005 have 
created a healthier balance between stocks size and fleet size. 

Poland: launched a fishing effort reduction scheme mainly because of the severe overcapacity 
in cod fisheries in the Baltic Sea as well as on account of low profitability. During the year 
2005, 270 vessels have been scrapped or have changed activities, with permanent withdrawal 
of fishing capacity amounting to 15 564 GT and 42 237 kW. 

Portugal: the fleet has been affected by the following effort limitations: for seining (sardine), 
the  Southern  Hake  recovery  plan  (Council  Regulation  (EC)  No  27/2005),  the  Greenland 
Halibut Recovery Plan in NAFO and Deep-sea species regulations. For the latter, Portugal has 
used  a  licensing  system  to  limit  the  access  of  vessels  to  deep-sea  fishing.  34  proposals  for 

EN

   EN 

 
reductions  were  approved  in  2005  with  25  vessels  already  scrapped  during  the  year  in  the 
mainland fleet segment, representing a reduction of 5 011 GT and 10 123 kW. 

Slovenia: cannot report on any impacts on the fishing capacity arising from effort reduction 
schemes since management or recovery plans have not yet been introduced for fisheries in the 
Mediterranean. At the same time there are no decommissioning or withdrawal schemes for the 
fishing vessels. 

Finland:  a  special  fishing  capacity  reduction  scheme  was  elaborated.  This  was  due  to  the 
recognized overcapacity in herring and sprat fisheries as well as the driftnet ban in Baltic Sea. 
Finland  undertook  this  capacity  reduction  scheme  concerning  pelagic  trawlers  and  passive 
gear vessels segments. 1,378 GT and 6,025 kW have been withdrawn with public aid. 

The  effort  of  the  pelagic  fleet  has  decreased  considerably  –  by  approximately  15  %  over 
2003-2005. Fishing with towed gears and static gears targeting demersal species (mainly cod) 
has decreased heavily in 2005 - about 79 % - however, this concerns only a small catch and a 
few  vessels.  The  effort  in  fisheries  targeting  salmon,  trout  and  freshwater  species  has 
decreased by the greatest extent in recent years: about 88 %. 

Sweden: under the multi-annual management and recovery plans introduced in the North Sea, 
Skagerrak  and  Kattegat  fishing  capacity  has  been  gradually  reduced  as  a  result  of  smaller 
TAC's  and  fewer  days  at  sea.  National  rules  involving  adjustments  to  the  trawl  limit, 
introduction  of  compulsory  size-selective  trawls  and  restriction  of  coastal  trawl  and  seine 
fishing, have further reduced capacity. The special Baltic cod fishing licences have restricted 
the capacity for that type of fishery. 

In view of the serious stock situation for groundfish species in the Kattegat and Skagerrak and 
taking  account  of  coastal  fishing  with  static  gear,  fishing  opportunities  have  been  restricted 
within  the  ‘trawl  limit’  in  coastal  areas.  The  restrictions  meant  that  purse  seine  fishing  was 
banned  in  two  more  fjord  systems.  Time  restrictions  have  been  imposed  on  purse  seine 
fishing under lights. Fishing opportunities for pelagic herring fishing have also been restricted 
and  the  largest  of  the  pelagic  vessels  are  no  longer  allowed  to  have  a  licence  for  coastal 
fishing.  Pelagic  trawl  fishing  has  been  banned  in  areas  of  particular  importance  to  pot 
fishermen. 

To  sum  up,  the  majority  of  Member  States  confirmed  that  existing  fishing  effort  reduction 
schemes  have  generally  led  to  good  results  and  helped  to  achieve  a  better  balance  between 
fishing  capacity  and  fishing  opportunities.  Furthermore  some  Member  States  indicated  that 
capacity and fishing effort reduction measures should be enhanced in future.  

For example, Belgium noted that their fishermen have known for a long time that fish stocks 
are not at the same level as ten years ago. They accept that action is therefore needed to make 
fish stocks less vulnerable and that the fleet has to be trimmed so that the survivors can keep 
fishing sustainable and in an economically viable manner. However, the restrictions resulting 
from recovery or management plans need to demonstrably bear fruit in the short to medium 
term  if  they  are  to  remain  credible  and  acceptable  to  the  fishermen.  A  study  in  Belgium 
indicated that 10 000 kW (15% of current fleet capacity) should be taken out of the Belgian 
fleet in order to help it to break even in the short term on the basis of the current cost structure 
and catch opportunities.

   EN 

 
In  the  same  manner  Sweden  suggested  that  further  capacity  reduction  is  desirable  for  the 
purpose of achieving a balance between capacity and opportunities. This is also a prerequisite 
for  creating  long-term  viability  in  the  fishing  fleet.  Fish  stocks  will  probably  remain  at  the 
same level for the next few years so continued reduction of fleet size can be expected. It is 
also important to combine fleet management with other measures to create a balance between 
fishing  capacity  and  resources  such  as,  for  example,  measures  targeting  the  distribution  of 
quotas and fishing opportunities and effort and gear restrictions. 

c) Strengths and weaknesses 

The  entry-exit  regime  has  been  followed  by  all  Member  States.  In  most  cases  the  national 
fleet  registers  data  were  successfully  reported  to  the  Commission  in  accordance  with  the 
Regulation 26/2004. However, a few organisational and data processing difficulties remained; 
this  is  mainly  due  to  limited  administrative  capacity  in  some  Member  States.  Despite  these 
difficulties,  the  quality  of  the  data  send  to  the  Commission  by  Member  States'  significantly 
improved during 2005. One of the important tasks was an ongoing process of Fleet Register 
data cross-checking and verification of "warnings".  

Almost  all  Member  States  in  2005  had  functional  integrated  fisheries  information  systems, 
often comprising various software applications (fleet register, capacity management, licences, 
landings, available quotas, catch reporting, etc.). In 2005 new versions of integrated fisheries 
IT systems were launched in Ireland and Sweden. Slovenia also had worked on introducing an 
integrated  fisheries  information  system.  These  systems  in  most  cases  link  several 
administrative  bodies  as  well  as  central  administrative  bodies  with  the  local  ones,  and  thus 
considerably  strengthen  national  fishing  fleet  administrations.  Additionally,  Member  States 
claimed that their national registers are accurate, complete and up-to date. 

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

All  Member  States  in  their  reports  stated  that  they  fully  comply  with  existing  entry  –  exit 
rules. Compliance with the entry-exit regime and with the reference levels (if applicable) at 
the  end  of  2005  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 based on the 
CFR data provide overall information on compliance for the Community and also by Member 
State.

CONCLUSIONS FROM THE COMMISSION 

The  quality  of  the  reports  submitted  by  Member  States  has  improved  compared  to  that  of 
2004.  Some  Member  States  provided  very  detailed  reports,  whose  content  exceeded  the 
information they were obliged to provide. Nevertheless, other Member States did not respect 
the  submission  deadline  or  the  requirements  in  terms  of  format  and  content  established  in 
Article 13 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1438/2003; at the time this report was drafted 
the United Kingdom had not submitted its annual report.  

Member  States  emphasised  in  their  reports  the  implementation  of  the  national  fleet 
management  regime  but  the  assessment  of  the  balance  between  fishing  fleet  capacity  and 
available fishing opportunities is more complete than in previous reports. 

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

According  to  the  Community  Fleet  Register  the  three-year  period  during  2003  –  2005,  the 
overall capacity of the Community fleet of the EU-15 Member States was reduced by 117,000 
GT and 499,000 kW, which represents a net reduction of 6.27 % of the tonnage and 7.28 % of 
the  power  of  the  EU-15  fleet.  The  net  reduction  during  2005  was  of  approximately  50,000 
GT, while it was of 23,000 GT in 2004 and 44,000 GT in 2003. These reductions appear to be 
relatively  small,  if  one  considers  the  high  levels  of  fishing  pressure  in  most  Community 
fisheries, particularly for demersal species.  

In  the  new  Member  States,  starting  from  1  May  2004,  fleet  capacity  has  been  reduced  by 
41,000 GT and 101,000 kW, which represents a reduction of 18 % in tonnage and 18 % in 
power for their fleets compared to their fishing capacity on the accession date.  

During  2003,  2004  and  2005  approximately  132,000  GT  and  427,000  kW  were  withdrawn 
from the EU fleet with public aid, which means that this capacity cannot be replaced.  

Of  this  capacity  withdrawn  with  public  aid,  the  overwhelming  majority  (112,000  GT  and 
373,000  kW)  came  from  the  EU-15  Member  States.  The  capacity  withdrawn  by  the  New 
Member States with public aid since 1 May 2004 was 20,000 GT and 54,000 kW. 

Tables 1 and 2 in Technical Annex 1 summarise the compliance, at 31 December 2005, with 
the  entry-exit  regime  and  the  reference  levels. A  majority  of  Member  States  have  complied 
with  these  rules.  However,  Greece  did  not  comply  with  the  entry-exit  regime  in  terms  of 
tonnage, although its degree of non-compliance is very small, since the tonnage ceiling was 
exceeded  by  only  0.29%.  The  Greek  authorities  contest  the  assessment  of  the  Commission; 
according to them, Greece has complied with the entry-exit regime. 

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 2005. These 
tables  include  also  the  number  of  vessels.  Table  3  covers  all  Member  States.  Detailed 
assessment per Member State is included in 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  2005  are  shown  in  Table  4.  The  results  show  that  the  fleet 
registered  in  the  Spanish  and  Portuguese  outermost  regions  has  been  significantly  reduced 
both  in  terms  of  tonnage  and  power.  For  the  French  overseas  departments  there  has  been  a 
slight decrease in the total number of vessels and their tonnage and an increase in power. 

The tables in Technical Annex 3 show the details of the application of the special regime for 
these fleets. Out of the 17 outermost regions segments, one had exceeded its reference level in 
terms  of  power  at  the  end  of  2005  (the  segment  ‘4FJ  -  vessels  under  12  m  in  length  of  the 
French Department of Martinique) and another segment exceeded its reference level in terms 
of tonnage (the segment 'CA3' – vessels of more than 12 m in length registered in the Canary 
Islands  and  fishing  in  international  and  third  country  waters).  The  special  regime  ceases  to 
apply  to  these  segments  from  the  moment  they  reach  their  maximum  reference  level  and 
reference to regulation6. 

General remarks 

As explained above, this summary report is based on the Member States’ annual reports and 
on the data extracted from the CFR. Some marginal discrepancies remain between the figures 
presented by Member States in their reports and those resulting from their declarations to the 
CFR. Thanks to the Member States and Commission's efforts to synchronise their data, these 
discrepancies are not important from the fleet management point-of-view. However, work on 
eliminating these differences should be continued. In any case, the data presented by Member 
States in their national reports do not modify the conclusions of the report. 

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. 

In  order  to  improve  the  quality  of  annual  reports  the  Commission,  together  with  the 
Committee  for  Fisheries  and  Aquaculture,  intends  to  establish  more  detailed  guidelines  for 
their  content  and  to  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 achieve 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 1 – SUMMARY TABLES AND GRAPHS 

Fleet Management in the reformed Common Fisheries Policy 

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. 

EN 

13 

   EN 

 
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 the reference levels are a legacy of MAGP IV7 (period 1997 – 2002), the Council decided that 
they would not apply to the new Member States (Council Regulation (EC) No 1242/20048). 

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 
639/20049 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 2104/200410.  

d) Measurement of tonnage 

The measurement of the Community fleet is based on Council Regulation (EC) No 3259/9411 and 
Commission Decision No 95/84/EC12. 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 2005, for some Member States there remained number of 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. 

e) 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). According 
Commission  Regulation  (EC)  No  26/2004,  Member  States  are  obliged  on  a  quarterly  basis 
("snapshots"  shall  be  sent  on  the  first  working  day  of  March,  June,  September  and  December)  to 
transmit  electronically  all  relevant  information  on  the  characteristics  of  approximately  88,500 
marine fishing vessels, together with information on entries to and exits from the fleet. Furthermore,

provisions established in the regulation apply; 

–  data on exits with public aid in some cases where this was not available.

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 
2005 has been made based on data collected from the Community Fleet Register on 26th June 
2006  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,  2004  and  2005 
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,  2004  and  2005  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, 2004 and 2005 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 (GT2 or kW2), 

–  minus 30% of the capacity entered into the fleet in 2003, 2004 and 2005 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 (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,  2004  and  2005 
must be assessed for new Member States are: 

EN 

22 

   EN 

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

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 2005 

Table b) shows Member States’ compliance with the entries and exits regime at 31 December 
2005. 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 + Δ(GT-GRT) 

kWt ≤ kW03 - kWa – 0,35 kW100 

where: 

- GTt or kWt 
2005, 

= 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 
- Δ(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 + Δ(GT-GRT) 
kWt ≤ kW04 - kWa – 0,35 kW100 

where: 

EN 

23 

   EN 

 
- GTt or kWt 
2005, 

= 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; 

- Δ(GT-GRT) 

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

Table c)  Reference levels at the end of 2005 

–  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  2005,  with  the  following  formulae 

(Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1438/2003): 

R(GTt) = R(GT03) - GTa – 0,35 GT100 + GTS + ΔR(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 2005; 

The  term  ΔR(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 

24 

   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 2005, 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 2005.
