                         GUIDELINES FOR REPORTING INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR EUROREP
            1 . Information required pursuant to Article 4 of the Directive
                The information required pursuant to Article 4 of the Directive is the same as that set out in Annex I to
                Directive 93/75/EEC, together with the position of the ship at the time it enters the Eurorep zone.
            2. Entry to the Eurorep zone
                On first entering the Eurorep zone the vessel reports to the competent authority of the Eurorep
                sub-zone concerned all the information referred to in the first paragraph.
                However, when the vessel has already supplied that information to a competent authority in accordance
                with Article 5 of Directive 93/75/EEC it need report only its identity, position and first port of call in
                the Community.
            3 . Relaying of information to the other Member States
                The competent authority in possession of the information reported under Article 4 passes it on to the
                competent authority of the Member State or other Member States concerned by the passage of the
                vessel .
            4 . Intended route of the vessel
                The reporting obligation still applies even when the intended route of the vessel does not call for it to
                enter the territorial waters of the Member State concerned by its passage.
                Any change to the originally intended route must be reported without delay to the competent authority
                concerned.
