Fleet Management under the Common Fisheries Policy 

1.1. 

Entry-exit regime 

From 1 January 2003 Member States have been obliged to respect a strict entry-exit regime 
applying  to  the  capacity  of  their  mainland  fleets1,  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  (entry  to  exit  ratio  of  1:1).  The  only 
exception being capacity increases resulting from works to improve safety, hygiene or living 
and working conditions on board in accordance with Article 11(5) of Council Regulation (EC) 
No  2371/2002.  For  entries  of  new  vessels  of  more  than  100  GT  built  with  public  aid  (the 
administrative  decisions  granting  aid  were  possible  only  until  31  December  2004)  the 
Member  State  had  to  withdraw  35%  more  capacity  than  it  introduced  (entry  to  exit  ratio  of 
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 maximum fleet capacity of each Member State. 
Capacity reductions supported with public aid are therefore permanent. 

In  July  2007  the  Council  adopted  an  amendment  to  the  fleet  management  provisions  which 
allows  Member  States,  with  effect  from  1  January  2007,  to  re-allocate  4%  of  the  capacity 
scrapped  with  public  aid  in  order  to  improve  safety  on  board,  working  conditions,  hygiene 
and  product  quality.  The  amendment  also  includes  the  possibility  to  re-allocate  for  the 
purpose  of  the  aforementioned  safety  improvements  4%  of  the  average  annual  tonnage 
withdrawn with public aid between 1 January 2003 and 31 December 2006 for Member States 
that  were  part  of  the  Community  on  1  January  2003,  and  between  1  May  2004  and  31 
December 2006 for the Member States that acceded to the Community on 1 May 2004. These 
amendments have slightly increased the tonnage ceilings for most Member States. 

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 and on the accession 
date for the Member States, which acceded to the Community after 2003. 

In practice this is likely to be the case. However, in accordance with Articles 6, 6a, 7 and 7a 
of  Commission  Regulation  (EC)  No  1277/2007  amending  Commission  Regulation  (EC) 
1438/2003,  the  implementing  rules  for  the  fleet  policy  allow  for  the  registration  of  vessels 
outside the framework of the entry-exit regime if administrative decisions have been adopted 
by the national authorities: 

a) 

b) 

between  1  January 1998  and  31  December 2002 for those vessels to enter the fleet 
after 1 January 2003 in 'EU 15' Member States and,  

up  to  five  years  before  the  accession  date  for  those  vessels  joining  the  fleet  of 
Member States which acceded to the Community after 1 January 2003. 

Those  vessels  had  to  enter  the  fleets  not  later  than  five  years  after  the  date  of  adoption  of 
those administrative decisions.

For fleets registered in outermost regions, rules are slightly different (see next page).

The  combination  of  these  rules  results  in  the  calculation  by  the  Commission  of  a  variable 
capacity  ceiling  for  the  fleet  of  each  Member  State,  excluding  the  fleets  registered  in  the 
outermost regions. The capacity of each Member State in relation to its capacity ceiling on 31 
December  2008  is  shown  in  Table  1.  The  sum  of  all  Member  States  capacity  ceilings  is 
compared  to  the  total  capacity  of  the  Community  fleet  since  1  January  2003  in  Figure  1. 
Detailed  results  per  Member  State  are  available  on  the  website  of  Directorate  General  for 
Fisheries and Maritime Affairs. 

1.2. 

Reference levels for the mainland fleet 

The reference levels for the fleets of Member States are the sum of the global final objectives 
of the Fourth Multi-annual Guidance Programme (MAGP IV) as established by Article 12 of 
Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002. Since the reference levels are a legacy of MAGP IV2 
(period 1997- 2002), the Council decided that they would not apply to the 'EU 10' Member 
States  (Council  Regulation  (EC)  No  1242/20043).  Member  States  may  not  exceed  their 
reference levels at any time. 

In the same way as it is done for the entry exit regime, the reference levels are revised to take 
into account the amount of capacity scrapped, the increase in tonnage under the provisions of 
Article  11(5)  of  Regulation  2371  and  the  35%  extra  capacity  withdrawn  for  new  vessels  of 
100 GT or more built with public aid after 1 January 2003.  

For the 'EU 15' Member States, the comparison between the capacity of their fleets and the 
reference levels on 31 December 2008 is shown in Table 2. For the majority of the 'EU 15' 
Member  States,  the  reference  levels  are  in  fact  much  greater  than  the  capacity  ceilings 
resulting from the entry-exit regime, which makes the former irrelevant. Overall evolution of 
the Community fleet reference level is shown in Figure 2. Detailed results per Member State 
are available on the website of Directorate General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries.  

1.3. 

Evolution of Community fishing fleet capacity 

Evolution of the Member States' fleets in period from 1 January 2003 to 31 December 2008 is 
shown  in  Table  3.  Figures  3,  4,  and  5  aim  at  providing  a  historical  perspective  for  the 
evolution of fishing capacity in the Community. They are based on the data available in the 
CFR  and  comprise  the  whole  Community  fleet,  including  the  vessels  registered  in  the 
outermost  regions.  They  show  the  evolution  of  the  capacity  of  the  Community  fishing  fleet 
since  1992.  The  graph  for  tonnage  needs  to  be  interpreted  with  care  since  the  tonnage 
measurement  units  have  changed  over  the  period  covered;  this  may  be  easily  appreciated 
during  the  years  1999  to  2001.  Despite  this  shortcoming  these  graphs  show  a  steady  but 
modest decline in fleet capacity in terms of tonnage and power and a slightly greater reduction 
in terms of number of vessels. It may also be noticed that the successive enlargements have 
moderately increased the overall fishing capacity, but the global reduction trend has remained 
unchanged. 

1.4.  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  Madeira

Regulation (EC) No 639/20044 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 2104/20045. Evolution 
of the fleet capacity in the outermost regions is shown in Table 4. 

1.5. 

Use of the guidelines 

With  a  view  to  helping  the  Member  States  to  carry  out  a  harmonised  and  well-founded 
analysis  of  the  balance  between  their  fleet  and  the  available  fishing  opportunities,  the 
Commission produced in cooperation with the STECF guidelines for an improved analysis of 
the balance between fishing capacity and fishing opportunities. The 'guidelines' were prepared 
in March 2008. They contain a set of indicators (technical, biological, economic and social) 
on the basis of which Member States could better assess the balance between fishing capacity 
and fishing opportunities.  

However,  for  the  2007  fleet  report  only  some  Member  States  included  the  calculation  and 
interpretation of some or all of the recommended indicators, arguing short deadline given for 
their inclusion in the reports, their complex technical nature and the lack of data. 

In order to help Member States to overcome difficulties encountered with the application of 
the guidelines, Commission organised in January 2009 a seminar where officials and experts 
of the Member States responsible for the preparation of the annual report were invited. At the 
seminar  it  was  revealed  that  some  Member  States  encounter  problems  related  to  the 
availability of certain data and that some of biological indicators could not be calculated for 
all fisheries. Nevertheless, Commission encouraged Member States to apply the guidelines to 
the extent of their possibilities.  

For the 2008 annual report, a number of countries that included in their reports calculation of 
some  or  all  of  the  proposed  indicators  has  improved,  given  that  12  countries  were  able  to 
provide  them.  Not  all  countries  were  able  to  present  data  for  2008,  but  they  have  provided 
data for 2007 and in many cases also for few preceding years and thus showing developments 
across  the  previous  years  and  allowing  for  a  better  interpretation  of  the  indicators. 
Commission  recognises  the  problems  that  some  Member  States  came  across  regarding  the 
availability  of  certain  data  and  will  seek  to  address  them  and  improve  the  guidelines  in 
cooperation with STECF.  

The technical indicator, which is the most straightforward indicator to calculate, shows very 
low capacity utilisation in many cases. Biological indicators (F estimated/ F targeted) which 
were  provided  only  by  a  few  Member  States  show  in  most  cases  that  fish  stocks  are  being 
exploited  unsustainably.  Economic  indicators  provide  a  very  uneven  picture  among  the 
different  segments  and  countries.  A  summary  of  the  indicators  provided  by  Member  States 
and their values is shown in Table 5.  

1.6. 

Community Fishing Fleet Register 

In  2004,  the  new  Community  Fleet  Register  (CFR)  was  set  up  in  accordance  with 
Commission  Regulation  (EC)  No  26/2004.  The  more  comprehensive  CFR  was  necessary  in 
order to follow up the new CFP 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  CFR  is  the  main  tool  for  monitoring  the  fishing  fleet.  In  accordance  with  Commission 
Regulation  (EC)  No  26/2004,  Member  States  are  obliged  on  a  quarterly  basis  to  transmit 
electronically all relevant information ("snapshots" shall be sent on the first working day of 
March,  June,  September  and  December)  on  the  characteristics  of  75.535  (on  31  December 
2008) commercial fishing vessels, together with information on entries to and exits from the 
fleet. Furthermore, the CFR is managed via a web-based application, called the Community 
Fleet Register On the Net (FRONT). The FRONT is also available for the general public on 
the following web page: http://ec.europa.eu/comm/fisheries/fleet/index.cfm 

It  is  important  to  note  that  all  information  which  is  provided  in  this  Commission  Staff 
Working Document 1 can be found on the "Europa" site6 and has been taken from the CFR, 
with the exception of: 

–  data  on  entries  corresponding  to  administrative  decisions  taken  by  national 
authorities  before  1  January  2003  (or  accession  date  for  Member  States  which 
acceded  after  1  January  2003)  and  for  which  the  special  transitional  provisions 
apply; 

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

available.  

Only in these two cases has the information been taken directly from the Member States. 

It should be noted that table 1 shows a margin under the fleet capacity ceilings for the French 
fleet  which  does  not  correspond  to  the  data  included  in  the  French  report.  French  data 
concerning exits with public aid is missing from the Community Fishing Fleet register. The 
French authorities have been requested to complete it as soon as possible.

YES 

Quota utilisation for sole 
(73%) and plaice (88%) for 
2008 is provided.  

Indicator of more than 0,9 will be observed only in fleet segments showing a largely homogenous activity (green light in "traffic lights system"). Indicators between 0,7- 
0,9 mean that capacity is used moderately (yellow light) and values below 0,7 indicate distinct structural overcapacity (red light).  
F/Ft (Estimated fishing mortality / Targeted fishing mortality): The overall values for individual fleet segments within Member States give an indication of the importance 
of fleet segments to the overall national catch. In addition, if the overall value for fleet segment is greater than 1, it indicates that the individual fleet segment is catching 
more fish than would be expected under desirable fishing mortality rates from the entire national fleet ("red light" in a traffic light system). In the case that the calculation 
has  been  made  using  fleet-segment  quotas, a  value  greater  than  1  might  be  given  "yellow  light"  as  the  desirable  exploitation  rate  is  already  fleet-specific,  thereby  not 
taking  account  of  possible  changes  to  quota  allocations.  If  several  fleet  segments  of  a  Member  State  operate  on  the  same  species,  establishing  an  overall  ratio  for  the 
species across fleets will show whether national catches are consistent with long term stock management goals. Values above 1 indicate at least "yellow" traffic light. 
Where  harvest  ratios  can  be  compared  to  established  harvest  ratio  targets,  the  interpretation  is  similar  to  the  one  for  F/Ft.  Otherwise,  the  indicator  provides  trends  in 
catch/biomass ratio over time that reflect the exploitation state of a given stock. It is difficult to determine threshold values of this indicator.  
Catch  per  unit  of  effort  (CPUE)  estimates  can  be  interpreted  as  a  relative  index  of  stock  abundance.  It  does  not  indicate  level  at  which  the  exploitation  becomes 
unsustainable. The indicator can only provide trend over time.  
ROI measures investment profitability, and, as applied to a fleet in total, average investment profitability. Results greater than 0 suggest that extraordinary profits (profits 
above opportunity cost) are being generated, which is a sign of economic under-capitalization. Results below 0 indicate economic over-capitalization. 
The  indicator  shows  the  level  of  revenue  at  which  all  costs  are  covered  and  net  profit  is  0.  It  is  a  good  measure  of  economic  sustainability,  although  not  linked  to 
investment costs. When the ratio is below 1, current cash flow is not sufficient to cover current costs, so the activity is not economically sustainable.  
Average crew share per Full-time equivalent (FTE) indicator is significant for determining income developments for dependent fishermen. Possible reference points: if the 
value is higher that the wages for all sectors it indicates positive tendency. If the value is lower than wages in all sectors, but higher than in agriculture sector, it indicates 
stability. If the value is lower than the wages in the agriculture sector than it shows negative tendency.  
Gross value added (GVA) expresses the added value that the activity contributes to the national society. A value above 0 means the fishery has a value for society.

Data for 2005-2008. 
Picture uneven, some 
fleet segments, 
particularly small vessels, 
show 100% economic

A qualitative biological 
approach was used to 
examine the balance 
between fishing capacity 
and fishing opportunities 
by fleet segment. The fleet 
segments were those 
defined under MAGP IV. 
The report assessed 
whether the capacity trend 
in each fleet segment was 
in line with the trend in the 
abundance and level of 
fishing of the main stocks 
concerned.
