 ---pagebreak---  ---pagebreak---                               EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
The present proposal for a Council Regulation establishes the lists of species to be recorded in
the fisheries logbook and landings declaration. Masters of fishing vessels shall keep a logbook
of their operation and submit landing declarations of their catches in accordance with Council
Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 establishing a control regime applicable to the Common Fisheries
Policy. In accordance with Art. 6(2) of this Regulation the species to be entered in the logbook
and the landing declaration shall be those subject to TACs or quotas as well as others included
in the lists to be decided by the Council.
The present proposal establishes the complete list of species to be recorded as well as the
procedure for the adoption of simplified lists applicable to vessels operating in specific zones.
The annex sets out the complete list of species to be recorded. This list includes species subject
to TAC and quota as well as species subject to technical conservation measures provided for in
Regulations (EEC) No 3094 and 1866/86, species subject to international measures for the
conservation and protection of living marine resources and species of particular scientific or
commercial interest.
In order to facilitate the recording of species by fishermen operating exclusively in specific
zones, it is provided for the adoption by simplified lists for fisheries limited to specific zones.
The species set out in simplified lists shall be drawn from the annex to the proposed Regulation.
Simplified lists will only contain the species relevant for the vessels concerned.
Catch reporting and landing declaration are the basis for fisheries management and enforcement
of conservation measures.
This proposal should contribute to systematic recording of regulated and highly migratory
species. The information derived from such recording will facilitate better scientific analysis
of the exploitation of marine resources. The measures concerning regulation of exploitation
rates of stocks are drawn up in the light of these analysis.
The present list of species to be recorded is without prejudice to the provisions on recording of
species to be agreed in the framework of fisheries Agreements concluded between the
Community and third countries, and international Conventions to which the Community is a
Party.
