REGULATION (EC) No 218/2009 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

of 11 March 2009

on the submission of nominal catch statistics by Member States fishing in the north-east Atlantic
(recast)

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE
EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Commu-
nity, and in particular Article 285(1) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of
Committee,

the Statistical Programme

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251
of the Treaty (1),

Whereas:

(1) Council Regulation (EEC) No 3880/91 of 17 December
1991 on the submission of nominal catch statistics by
Member States fishing in the north-east Atlantic (2) has
been substantially amended several times (3). Since further
amendments are to be made, it should be recast in the
interests of clarity.

(2)

(3)

The management of the Community's fishery resources
requires accurate and timely statistics on the catches by
Member States' vessels fishing in the north-east Atlantic.

The Convention on Future Multilateral Cooperation in the
North-East Atlantic Fisheries, approved by Council Decision
81/608/EEC (4) and establishing the North-East Atlantic
Fisheries Commission, requires the Community to supply
that Commission with the available statistics that it may
request.

(4) Advice received from the International Council for the
Exploration of the Sea under the Cooperation Agreement
between that organisation and the Community (5) will be
enhanced by the availability of statistics on the activities of
the Community fishing fleet.

(5)

The Convention for the Conservation of Salmon in the
North Atlantic Ocean, approved by Council Decision 82/

886/EEC (6) and establishing the North Atlantic Salmon
Conservation Organisation (Nasco), requires the Commu-
nity to supply Nasco with the available statistics that it may
request.

Several Member States have requested the submission of
data in a different form or through a different medium
from that specified in Annex IV (the equivalent of the
Statlant questionnaires).

There is a need for fuller definitions and descriptions used
in fishery statistics and in the management of the fisheries
of the north-east Atlantic.

The measures necessary for the implementation of this
Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council
Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the
procedures
implementing powers
the exercise of
conferred on the Commission (7).

In particular, the Commission should be empowered to
adapt the lists of species and statistical fishing regions, the
descriptions of those fishing regions and the permitted
degree of aggregation of data. Since those measures are of
general scope and are designed to amend non-essential
elements of
they must be adopted in
accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny
provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC,

this Regulation,

HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Each Member State shall submit to the Commission data on the
annual nominal catches by vessels registered in or flying the flag
of that Member State fishing in the north-east Atlantic.

The nominal catch data shall include all fishery products landed
or transhipped at sea in no matter what form but shall exclude
quantities which, subsequent to capture, are discarded at sea,
consumed on board or used as bait on board. Aquaculture
production shall be excluded. The data shall be recorded as the
live weight equivalent of the landings or transhipments, to the
nearest tonne.

Article 2

With the prior approval of the Commission, Member States may
submit data in a different form or on a different medium.

1. The data to be submitted shall be the nominal catches of
each of the species listed in Annex I in each of the statistical
fishing regions listed in Annex II and defined in Annex III.

2. The data for each calendar year shall be submitted within six
months of the end of the year. No submissions shall be required
for species/fishing region combinations for which no catches
were recorded in the annual period of the submission. The data
for species of minor importance in a Member State need not be
individually identified in the submissions but may be included in
an aggregated item provided that the weight of the products thus
recorded does not exceed 10 % by weight of the total catch in
that Member State in that month.

3. The Commission may amend the lists of species and
those fishing
statistical
regions and the permitted degree of aggregation of data.

the descriptions of

fishing regions,

Those measures, designed to amend non-essential elements of
this Regulation, shall be adopted in accordance with the
regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 5(2).

Article 3

Except where provisions adopted under the common fisheries
policy dictate otherwise, a Member State shall be permitted to
use sampling techniques to derive catch data for those parts of
the fishing fleet for which the complete coverage of the data
would involve the excessive application of administrative
procedures. The details of the sampling procedures, together
with details of the proportion of the total data derived by such
techniques, must be included by the Member State in the report
submitted pursuant to Article 6(1).

Article 4

Member States shall fulfil their obligations to the Commission
pursuant to Articles 1 and 2 by submitting the data on magnetic
medium, the format of which is given in Annex IV.

Article 5

1. The Commission shall be
assisted by the Standing
Committee for Agricultural Statistics, set up by Council Decision
72/279/EEC (1), hereinafter referred to as ‘the Committee’.

2. Where reference is made to this paragraph, Article 5a(1) to
(4) and Article 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply, having
regard to the provisions of Article 8 thereof.

Article 6

1. By 1 January 1993 Member States shall submit a detailed
report to the Commission describing how the data on catches are
derived and specifying the degree of representativeness and
reliability of those data. The Commission, in collaboration with
the Member States, shall draw up a summary of those reports.

2. Member States
inform the Commission of any
modifications to the information provided under paragraph 1
within three months of their introduction.

shall

3. Methodological reports, data availability and data reliability
referred to in paragraph 1 and other relevant issues connected
with the application of this Regulation shall be examined once a
year within the competent Working Party of the Committee.

Article 7

1. Regulation (EEC) No 3880/91 is hereby repealed.

2. References to the repealed Regulation shall be construed as
references to this Regulation and shall be read in accordance with
the correlation table in Annex VII.

Article 8

Member States may submit data in the format detailed in
Annex V.

This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following

Member States must report the nominal catches of those species marked with an asterisk (*). The reporting of nominal
catches of the remaining species is optional as concerns the identification of the individual species. However, where data for
individual species are not submitted the data shall be included in aggregate categories. Member States may submit data for
species not in the list provided that the species are clearly identified.

Description of the ICES sub areas and divisions used for the purpose of fishery statistics and regulations in the
north-east Atlantic

ICES statistical area (north-east Atlantic)

All waters of the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans and their dependent seas bounded by a line from the geographic North Pole
along the meridian of 40o00′ west to the north coast of Greenland; then in an easterly and southerly direction along the
coast of Greenland to a point at 44o00′ west; then due south to 59o00′ north; then due east to 42o00′ west; then due south
to 36o00′ north; then due east to a point on the coast of Spain (Punta Marroqui isthmus) at 5o36′ west; then in a north-
westerly and northerly direction along the south-west coast of Spain, the coast of Portugal, the north-west and north coasts
of Spain, and the coasts of France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany to the western terminus of its boundary with
Denmark; then along the west coast of Jutland to Thyboroen; then in a southerly and easterly direction along the south coast
of the Limfjord to Egensekloster Point; then in a southerly direction along the east coast of Jutland to the eastern terminus of
