10.   ANNEX III.A TO THE CEM, AS REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 13(1) OF REGULATION (EU) 2019/833

Mesh Measurements and Gauges

(1)   Description of mesh gauges







(a)


A mesh gauge to be used for determining mesh sizes shall be 2 mm thick, flat, of durable material and non-deformable. It shall be designed either as a number of parallel-edged sides connected by tapering edges with a taper of 1:8 on each side or only tapering edges with the taper defined above. The mesh gauge shall have a hole at the narrowest extremity.










(b)


The face of the mesh gauge shall be inscribed with the width in millimetres both on the parallel-sided section, if this design is used and on the tapering section. In the case of the latter, the width shall be inscribed for every interval of 1mm and the width shall be indicated at regular intervals.




(2)   Use of the mesh gauge







(a)


The net shall be kept stretched so that the meshes are stretched in the direction of the long diagonal.










(b)


The tapered end of the mesh gauge described in point 1 shall be inserted into the mesh opening in a direction perpendicular to the netting along the long axis of the net.










(c)


The gauge shall be inserted into the mesh opening either manually or using a weight until the mesh gauge is stopped by the resistance of the mesh at the tapering edges.




(3)   Selection of meshes for measuring







(a)


The meshes to be measured shall form a series of 20 consecutive meshes selected in the direction of the long axis of the net.










(b)


Meshes positioned less than 50 cm from lacings, ropes and codlines shall not be measured. This distance shall be measured perpendicular to the lacings, the ropes or the codline with the net stretched in the direction of measuring. Any mesh that has been mended or torn or to which attachments to the net are fixed shall not be measured.










(c)


By way of derogation from 3(a), the meshes to be measured need not be consecutive if this is prevented by the application of 3(b).










(d)


Nets shall be measured only when wet and non-frozen.




(4)   Sizes of individual meshes







(a)


The size of a mesh shall be equal to the width of the gauge inscribed at the point where the gauge is stopped when used in accordance with point 2.










(b)


The sides of a mesh shall be accepted as being of the same length if, when measured, the two knots that keep the mesh together in the lateral direction appear to be off the centre of the mesh gauging device.




(5)   Determination of the mesh size of a net







(a)


The mesh size of a net shall be expressed in mm as the average of the sizes of the total number of meshes selected and measured according to points 3 and 4. The average value shall be rounded up to the next full number of millimetres.










(b)


The total number of meshes to be measured is specified in point 6.




(6)   Mesh gauging procedure







(a)


Only meshes which have 4 sides, equally long, of the same material, and 4 permanent joints or knots are permitted.










(b)


Mesh size shall be calculated by averaging:






•


in respect of the codend of a net, including any lengthener(s), the measurements, in millimetres, of any 20 consecutive meshes running parallel to the long axis of the codend, beginning at the after end of the codend, and at least 10 meshes from the lacings, and










•


in respect of any part of a net, the measurements, in millimetres, of any 20 consecutive meshes that are at least 10 meshes from the lacings.

Authorized Topside Chafers/Shrimp Toggle Chains

(1)   ICNAF-type topside chafer

The ICNAF-type topside chafer is a rectangular piece of netting to be attached to the upper side of the codend of the trawl net to reduce and prevent damage so long as such netting conforms to the following conditions:






(a)


this netting shall have a mesh size not less than that specified for the codend in Article 13 of the CEM;










(b)


this netting may be fastened to the codend only along the forward and lateral edges of the netting and at no other place in it, and shall be fastened in such a manner that it extends forward of the splitting strap no more than four meshes and ends not less than four meshes in front of the cod line mesh; where a splitting strap is not used, the netting shall not extend to more than one-third of the codend measured from not less than four meshes in front of the cod line mesh;










(c)


the width of this netting shall be at least one and a half times the width of the area of the codend which is covered, such widths to be measured at right angles to the long axis of the codend.







Legend:

Topside chafing gear (netting only permitted) must be 1 ½ times width of top of codend
Attached not less than 4 meshes ahead of codline mesh

Chafing gear: Any material may be used to protect the bottom of codend
Nothing permitted to cover forward part of net
May not be attached more than 4 meshes ahead of splitting strap
To headline
Splitting strap




(2)   Multiple flap-type topside chafer

The multiple flap-type topside chafer is defined as pieces of netting having in all their parts meshes the size of which, whether the pieces of netting are wet or dry, is not less than that of the codend, provided that:






(i)


each piece of netting






(a)


is fastened by its forward edge only across the codened at right angles to its long axis;










(b)


is of a width of at least the width of the codend (such width being measured at right angles to the long axis of the codend at the point of attachment); and










(c)


is not more than ten meshes long; and














(ii)


the aggregate length of all the pieces of netting so attached does not exceed two-thirds of the length of the codend.

(3)   Shrimp Trawl — Codend Strengthening Bag, for vessels directing for shrimp in the NRA

A strengthening bag is defined as an outer covering of netting that can be used on a shrimp trawl to protect and provide strength to the codend of the shrimp trawl.






(a)


Vessels shall not use a strengthening bag of which the mesh size is less than 130 millimetres.










(b)


The strengthening bag shall not extend forward of the sorting grids or grates or obstruct the sorting grids or grates in any way.










(c)


A strengthening bag shall not be attached in any way that restricts the authorized mesh or obstructs the mesh opening.










(d)


Vessels shall not use a strengthening bag with any other top-side chafers simultaneously.

Shrimp Toggle Chains

Toggle chains are chains, ropes, or a combination of both, which attach the footrope to the fishing line or bolchline at varying intervals.
The terms ‘fishing line’ and ‘bolchline’ are interchangeable. Some vessels use one line only; others use both a fishing line and a bolchline as shown in the sketch.
The toggle chain length should be measured from the centre of the chain or wire running through the footrope (centre of footrope) to the underside of the fishing line.
The attached sketch shows how to measure the toggle and chain length.

Templates for the Conduct of Exploratory Bottom Fishing Activities


Exploratory Protocol for New Fishing Areas

The Exploratory Protocol shall consist of:






•


A harvesting plan which outlines target species, dates and areas. Area and effort restrictions should be considered to ensure fisheries occur on a gradual basis in a limited geographical area.










•


A mitigation plan including measures to prevent significant adverse impact to vulnerable marine ecosystems that may be encountered during the fishery.










•


A catch monitoring plan that includes recording/reporting of all species caught, 100 % satellite tracking and 100 % observer coverage. The recording/reporting of catch should be sufficiently detailed to conduct an assessment of activity, if required.










•


A data collection plan to facilitate the identification of vulnerable marine ecosystems/species in area fished.

Assessment of Bottom Fishing Activities

Assessments should consider the best available scientific and technical information on the current state of fishery resources.
Assessments should address, inter alia:






(1)


Type(s) of fishing conducted or contemplated, including vessels and gear types, fishing areas, target and potential bycatch species, fishing effort levels and duration of fishing (harvesting plan);










(2)


Existing baseline information on the ecosystems, habitats and communities in the fishing area, against which future changes are to be compared;










(3)


Identification, description and mapping of VMEs known or likely to occur in the fishing area;










(4)


Identification, description and evaluation of the occurrence, scale and duration of likely impacts, including cumulative impacts of activities covered by the assessment on VMEs;










(5)


Consideration of VME elements known to occur in the fishing area;










(6)


Data and methods used to identify, describe and assess the impacts of the activity, the identification of gaps in knowledge, and an evaluation of uncertainties in the information presented in the assessment;










(7)


Risk assessment of likely impacts by the fishing operations to determine which impacts on VMEs are likely to be significant adverse impacts; and










(8)


The proposed mitigation and management measures to be used to prevent significant adverse impacts on VMEs, and the measures to be used to monitor effects of the fishing operations.

37.   RULES ON CONFIDENTIALITY IN ANNEX II.B TO THE CEM, AS REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 28(10) AND ARTICLE 43 OF REGULATION (EU) 2019/833

Rules on Confidentiality


PROVISIONS ON SECURE AND CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT OF ELECTRONIC REPORTS AND MESSAGES TRANSMITTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
ARTICLES 28-29 OF THE CONSERVATION AND ENFORCEMENT MEASURES

(1)   Field of application

The provisions set out below shall apply to all electronic reports and messages transmitted and received in accordance with Articles 28-29 of the CEM, hereinafter referred to as ‘reports and messages’.
(2)   General Provisions







(a)


The Executive Secretary and the appropriate authorities of Contracting Parties transmitting and receiving reports and messages shall take all necessary measures to comply with the security and confidentiality provisions set out in sections 3 and 4.










(b)


The Executive Secretary informs all Contracting Parties of the measures taken in the Secretariat to comply with these security and confidentiality provisions.










(c)


The Executive Secretary takes all the necessary steps to ensure that the requirements pertaining to the deletion of reports and messages handled by the Secretariat are complied with.










(d)


Member States shall guarantee the Executive Secretary the right to obtain as appropriate, the rectification of reports and messages or the erasure of reports and messages the processing of which does not comply with the provisions of the CEM.










(e)


Notwithstanding the provisions in Article 29.10(b)-(d) of the CEM, the NAFO Commission may instruct the Executive Secretary not to make available the reports and messages received under Article 28 and 29 of the CEM to a Contracting Party where it is established that the Member State in question has not complied with these security and confidentiality provisions.




(3)   Provisions on Confidentiality







(a)


Reports and messages shall be used only for the purposes stipulated in the CEM. No report or message referred to in section 1 shall be kept in a computer database at the Secretariat unless explicitly provided for in the CEM.










(b)


Each inspecting Member State shall make available reports and messages only to their means of inspection and their inspectors assigned to the Scheme of Joint International Inspection and Surveillance. Reports and messages shall be transmitted to the inspection platforms and inspectors not more than 48 hours prior to entry into the Regulatory Area.










(c)


The Executive Secretary deletes all the original reports and messages referred to in section 1 from the database at the Secretariat by the end of the first calendar month following the year in which the reports and messages have originated. Thereafter the information related to the catch and movement of the fishing vessels shall only be retained by the Executive Secretary, after measures have been taken to ensure that the identity of the individual vessels can no longer be established.










(d)


The Executive Secretary does not make available reports and messages to other parties than those specified explicitly in Article 29.10(b)-(d) of the CEM.










(e)


Inspecting Member State may retain and store reports and messages transmitted by the Secretary until 24 hours after the vessels to which the reports and messages pertain have departed from the Regulatory Area without re-entry. Departure is deemed to have been effected six hours after the transmission of the intention to exit from the Regulatory Area.




(4)   Provisions on security

(a)   Overview

Inspecting Member State, the Commission (or the body designated by the Commission) and the Secretariat shall ensure the secure treatment of reports and messages in their respective electronic data processing facilities, in particular where the processing involves transmission over a network. Member State, the Commission (or the body designated by the Commission), and the Secretariat must implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect reports and messages against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, and against all inappropriate forms of processing.
The following security issues must be addressed from the outset:






—


System access control:






—


The system has to withstand a break-in attempt from unauthorized persons.














—


Authenticity and data access control:






—


The system has to be able to limit the access of authorized parties to a predefined set of data only.














—


Communication security:






—


It shall be guaranteed that reports and messages are securely communicated.














—


Data security:






—


It has to be guaranteed that all reports and messages that enter the system are securely stored for the required time and that they will not be tampered with.














—


Security procedures:






—


Security procedures shall be designed addressing access to the system (both hardware and software), system administration and maintenance, backup and general usage of the system.




Having regard to the state of the art and the cost of their implementation, such measures shall ensure a level of security appropriate to the risks represented by the processing of the reports and the messages.
Security measures are described in more detail in the following paragraphs.




(b)   System Access Control

For their main computer systems the Member State and the Secretariat shall aim to meet the criteria of a C2-level trusted system, (as described in Section 2.2 of the U.S. Department of Defence Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria (TCSEC), DOD 5200.28-STD, December 1985).
The following features are some of the ones provided by a C2-level trusted system:






—


A stringent password and authentication system. Each user of the system is assigned a unique user identification and associated password. Each time the user logs on to the system he/she has to provide the correct password. Even when successfully logged on the user only has access to those and only those functions and data that he/she is configured to have access to. Only a privileged user has access to all the data.










—


Physical access to the computer system is controlled.










—


Auditing; selective recording of events for analysis and detection of security breaches.










—


Time-based access control; access to the system can be specified in terms of times-of-day and days-of-week that each user is allowed to login to the system.










—


Terminal access control; specifying for each workstation which users are allowed to access.




(c)   Authenticity and Data Access Security

Data exchange protocols for electronic transmission of reports and messages between Member State, the NAFO Commission and the Secretariat shall be duly tested by the Secretariat and approved by the NAFO Commission. Electronic transmission is subject to security procedures laid down in this Annex.
(d)   Communication Security

Appropriate encryption protocols duly tested by the Secretariat and approved by the NAFO Commission shall be applied to ensure confidentiality and authenticity. Key management policy shall be in place to support the use of cryptographic techniques. In particular, the integrity of the PKI (public key infrastructure) will be guaranteed by ensuring that digital certificates correctly identify and validate the party submitting the information.
(e)   Data Security

Access limitation to the data shall be secured via a flexible user identification and password mechanism. Each user shall be given access only to the data necessary for his task.
(f)   Security Procedures

Each Member State, the Commission (and body designated by the Commission) and the Executive Secretary shall nominate a security system administrator. The security system administrator shall review the log files generated by the software, properly maintain the system security, restrict access to the system as deemed needed and act as a liaison with the Secretariat in order to solve security matters.

40.   RULES ON PROVISION OF BOARDING LADDER IN ANNEX IV.G TO THE CEM, AS REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 32(C) OF REGULATION (EU) 2019/833

Construction and Use of Boarding Ladders







(1)


A boarding ladder shall be provided which shall be efficient for the purpose of enabling inspectors to embark and disembark safely at-sea. The boarding ladder shall be kept clean and in good order.










(2)


The ladder shall be positioned and secured so that:






(a)


it is clear of any possible discharges from the vessel;










(b)


it is clear of the finer lines and as far as practicable in the midlength of the vessel;










(c)


each step rests firmly against the vessel’s side.














(3)


The steps of the boarding ladder shall:






(a)


be of hardwood or other material of equivalent properties, made in one piece free of knots; the four lowest steps may be made of rubber of sufficient strength and stiffness, or of other suitable material of equivalent characteristics;










(b)


have an efficient non-slip surface;










(c)


be not less than 480 mm long, 115 mm wide, and 23 mm in thickness, excluding any non-slip device or grooving;










(d)


be equally spaced not less than 300 mm or more than 380 mm apart;










(e)


be secured in such a manner that they will remain horizontal.














(4)


No boarding ladder shall have more than two replacement steps which are secured in position by a method different from that used in the original construction of the ladder and any steps so secured shall be replaced, as soon as reasonably practicable, by steps secured in position by the method used in the original construction of the ladder. When any replacement step is secured to the side ropes of the boarding ladder by means of grooves in the side of the step, such grooves shall be in the longer sides of the steps.










(5)


The side ropes of the ladder shall consist of two uncovered manila or equivalent ropes not less than 60 mm in circumference on each side; each rope shall be left uncovered by any other material and be continuous with no joints below the top step; two main ropes, properly secured to the vessel and not less than 65 mm in circumference, and a safety line shall be kept at hand ready for use if required.










(6)


Battens made of hardwood, or other material of equivalent properties, in one piece, free of knots and between 1,8 and 2 m long, shall be provided at such intervals as will prevent the boarding ladder form twisting. The lowest batten shall be on the fifth step from the bottom of the ladder and the interval between any batten and the next shall not exceed nine steps.










(7)


Means shall be provided to ensure safe and convenient passage for inspectors embarking on or disembarking from the vessel between the head of the boarding ladder or of any accommodation ladder or other appliance provided. Where such passage is by means of a gateway in the rails or bulwark, adequate handholds shall be provided. Where such passage is by means of a bulwark ladder, such ladder shall be securely attached to the bulwark rail or platform and two handhold stanchions shall be fitted at the point of boarding or leaving the vessel not less than 0,70 m or more than 0,80 m apart. Each stanchion shall be rigidly secured to the vessel’s structure at or near its base and also at a higher point, shall be not less than 40 mm in diameter, and shall extend not less than 1,20 m above the top of the bulwark.










(8)


Lighting shall be provided at night so that both the boarding ladder overside and also the position where the inspector boards the vessel shall be adequately lit. A lifebuoy equipped with a self-igniting light shall be kept at hand ready for use. A heaving line shall be kept at hand ready for use if required.










(9)


Means shall be provided to enable the boarding ladder to be used on either side of the vessel. The inspector in charge may indicate which side he would like the boarding ladder to be positioned.










(10)


The rigging of the ladder and the embarkation and disembarkation of an inspector shall be supervised by a responsible officer of the vessel. The responsible officer shall be in radio contact with the bridge.










(11)


Where on any vessel constructional features such as rubbing bands would prevent the implementation of any of these provisions, special arrangements shall be made to ensure that inspectors are able to embark and disembark safely.

44.   ANNEX IV.H TO THE CEM ON INSPECTIONS, AS REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 39(11) OF REGULATION (EU) 2019/833

Principles for Inspections

Inspectors shall:






(a)


verify, to the extent possible, that the vessel identification documentation on board and information relating to the owner of the vessel is true, complete and correct, including through appropriate contacts with the flag State or international records of vessels if necessary;










(b)


verify that the vessel’s flag and markings (e.g. name, external registration number, International Maritime Organization (IMO) ship identification number, international radio call sign and other markings, main dimensions) are consistent with information contained in the documentation;










(c)


review all other relevant documentation and records held onboard, including, to the extent possible, those in electronic format and vessel monitoring system (VMS) data from the flag State or RFMOs. Relevant documentation may include logbooks, catch, transhipment and trade documents, data collected by the observer on board, crew lists, stowage plans and drawings, descriptions of fish holds, and documents required pursuant to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora;










(d)


verify, to the extent possible, that the authorizations for fishing activities are true, complete, correct and consistent with the information provided in accordance with the CEM provisions including, but not limited to, Articles 25, 44, 45 and 51 of the CEM;










(e)


determine, to the extent possible, whether any fishery resources on board were harvested in accordance with applicable authorizations for the vessel;










(f)


examine any fishery resources on board the vessel, including by sampling, to determine its quantity and composition. In doing so, inspectors may open containers where the fishery resources have been pre-packed and move the catch or containers to ascertain the integrity of fish holds. Such examination may include inspections of product type and determination of nominal weight;










(g)


examine, to the extent possible, all relevant fishing gear onboard, including any gear stowed out of sight as well as related devices, and to the extent possible, verify that they are in conformity with the conditions of the authorizations. The fishing gear shall, to the extent possible, also be checked to ensure that features such as the mesh and twine size, devices and attachments, dimensions and configuration of nets, pots, dredges, hook sizes and numbers are in conformity with applicable regulations and that the markings correspond to those authorized for the vessel;










(h)


evaluate whether there is clear evidence for believing that a non-Contracting Party vessel has engaged in IUU fishing activities; and










(i)


arrange, where necessary and possible, for translation of relevant documentation.
Additionally inspections shall be conducted in a fair, transparent and non-discriminatory manner and shall not constitute harassment of any vessel. Inspectors shall not interfere with the Master’s ability to communicate with the authorities of the flag State Contracting Party or the flag Member State.
