   of 15 March 2005
   amending Council Regulation (EEC) No 3880/91 on the submission of nominal catch statistics by Member States fishing in the north-east Atlantic
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
   Having regard to 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 (1), and in particular Article 2(3) thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               At its annual meeting in November 2002, the North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC) recommended that, with a view to improving the management of fish stocks in the international waters under its jurisdiction, the international agencies responsible for the collection and compilation of catch statistics should be requested to implement an appropriate subdivision of the statistical areas.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               The Deepwater Fisheries Working Group of the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) has recommended the subdivision of the statistical divisions of the north-east Atlantic so as to better identify deepwater fisheries.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               The decision of the International Baltic Sea Fisheries Commission to manage the stocks of the Baltic Sea division 28 as two separate units demands the availability of statistics for these units.
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               The ICES, acting on the advice of its Advisory Committee for Fisheries Management, has accordingly requested the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) to modify its Statlant 27A questionnaire by asking national authorities to submit statistics for catches in certain waters of the north-east Atlantic with an increased level of detail.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for Agricultural Statistics set up by Council Decision 72/279/EEC (2),
            
         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Annexes II and III to Regulation (EEC) No 3880/91 are replaced by Annexes I and II to this Regulation respectively.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
   
      This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

      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 40° 00′ west to the north coast of Greenland; then in an easterly and southerly direction along the coast of Greenland to a point at 44° 00′ west; then due south to 59° 00′ north; then due east to 42° 00′ west; then due south to 36° 00′ north; then due east to a point on the coast of Spain (Punta Marroqui isthmus) at 5° 36′ 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 the boundary of Denmark with Germany; then along the coast of Germany, Poland, Russia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Russia, Finland, Sweden and Norway, and the north coast of Russia to Khaborova; then across the western entry of the Strait of Yugorskiy Shar; then in a westerly and northerly direction along the coast of Vaigach Island; then across the western entry of the Strait off the Karskiye Vorota; then west and north along the coast of the south island of Novaya Zemlya; then across the western entry of the Strait of Matochkin Shar; then along the west coast of the north island of Novaya Zemlya to a point at 68° 30′ east; then due north to the geographic North Pole.
      This area also represents statistical area 27 (north-east Atlantic statistical area) in the FAO International Standard Statistical Classification of Fishing Areas.
