Overall objectives

TITLE 11

FISHERIES AND MARITIME AFFAIRS

This policy area includes all the activities covered by the common fisheries policy (CFP) which comes under the exclusive competence of the Com-
munity. It concerns all fisheries activities as well as the processing and marketing of these products.

It also ensures that the relevant provisions of Community law are rightly applied in the fisheries sector.

The policy area covers the following operational activities: common organisation of the fisheries market, relations and agreements with third coun-
tries and international organisations, fisheries governance, fisheries research, structural measures for fisheries through the European Fisheries Fund
(EFF), conservation of fisheries resources, and control and enforcement. Finally, a new activity relates to maritime affairs, with a preparatory action
for launching implementation of the European maritime policy.

Sixty per cent of appropriations are devoted to the EFF. However, the EFF operations are mainly implemented by the Member States as part of
shared management.

Remarks

Article 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides for financial corrections, any revenue from which is entered in Item 6 5 0 0
of the statement of revenue. That revenue may give rise to the provision of additional appropriations, in accordance with
Article 18 of the Financial Regulation, in specific instances where they are necessary to cover risks of cancellation or of reduc-
tions in corrections previously decided upon.

Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 determines the conditions for repayment of an advance without having the effect of reducing
the contribution from the Structural Funds towards the assistance concerned. Any revenue from the repayment of advances,
which is entered in Item 6 1 5 7 of the statement of revenue, will give rise to the provision of additional appropriations in accor-
dance with Articles 18 and 157 of the Financial Regulation.

Measures to combat fraud are funded under Article 24 02 01.

Legal basis

Treaty establishing the European Community, in particular Articles 158, 159 and 161 thereof.

Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 of 21 June 1999 laying down general provisions on the Structural Funds (OJ L 161,
26.6.1999, p. 1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006 (OJ L 223, 15.8.2006, p. 1).

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover the operational programmes of the European Fisheries Fund (EFF) convergence objec-
tive for the programming period 2007 to 2013.

Particular importance will be attached to the economic diversification of regions affected by a reduction in fishing activity, to
the adjustment of fleet capacity and to fleet renewal, without involving an increase in fishing efforts, as well as to the sustainable
development of the fishing zones.

Actions financed under this article should take into account the need to maintain a stable and enduring balance between the
capacity of the fishing fleets and the resources available, and the need to promote a safety culture within fishing.

This appropriation is also intended to cover the financing of actions to improve fishing gear selectivity.

Legal basis

Council Regulation (EC) 1198/2006 of 27 July 2006 on the European Fisheries Fund (OJ L 223, 15.8.2006, p. 1).

Remarks

Article 39 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 provides for financial corrections for which any revenue is entered in
Item 6 5 0 0 of the statement of revenue. This revenue may be used to provide additional appropriations in accordance with
Article 18 of the Financial Regulation in specific cases where they are required to cover the risk of corrections adopted earlier
being cancelled or reduced. Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 provides for financial corrections for the period 2007 to 2013.

Regulation (EC) No 1260/1999 lays down the conditions for the repayment of payments on account which does not have the
effect of reducing the contribution from the Structural Funds to the operation concerned. Any revenue arising from the repay-
ment of payments on account entered in Item 6 1 5 7 of the statement of revenue will be used to provide additional appro-
priations in accordance with Articles 18 and 157 of the Financial Regulation. Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006 lays down the
conditions for reimbursement of pre-financing for the period 2007 to 2013.

The special programme for peace and reconciliation will continue until 2010, in accordance with the conclusions of the Brus-
sels European Council of 15 and 16 December 2005.

Measures to combat fraud are funded from Article 24 02 01.
