 ---pagebreak---                                  EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

     The European Community is at the forefront in introducing modern technologies in order to
     improve management and monitoring of fisheries activities. Since 1992 it promoted the
     introduction of the satellite-based vessel monitoring system (VMS) as a tool to efficiently
     control its fishing fleet, irrespective of where it is operating, and third country fleets when
     operating within Community waters. After a series of pilot projects, the fitting on board of a
     vessel localisation device became mandatory for certain categories of vessels. As of 1 January
     2005, save few exceptions, all Community vessels greater than 15 metres in length overall
     will be subject to VMS and cannot fish without an operational satellite localisation device on
     board.

     A further step towards the utilisation of modern technologies is now proposed. The rational
     exploitation of fisheries resources, which is one of the main aims of the Common Fisheries
     Policy, requires accurate and timely reporting of information relating to fishing activities,
     such as quantities of catches on board, species, time spent at fishing, the area where catches
     have been taken and the gears used. This essential information is currently collected by the
     masters of the fishing vessels by recording it with a pen on a paperbound logbook. The same
     procedure is used when catches are transhipped, landed, transported or sold.

     As a consequence, in order to be gathered, analysed and transmitted to the authorities in
     charge of managerial or control tasks, this information needs to be digitalised. This process is
     slow, costly and conducive to typing mistakes which can hinder the quality of the data.

     In order to make it more efficient, accurate and less expensive, the Commission favours an
     electronic recording and reporting system which will replace the current manual and
     cumbersome process. It will be designed to alleviate the administrative burden on the masters
     and the main actors of the commercial chain and dramatically simplify the tasks of the
     national authorities.

     Pilot projects on electronic recording and reporting of information relating to fisheries
     activities have been carried out in recent years. Some have already been conducted with
     conclusive results, others are still ongoing. There is no doubt about the feasibility of the
     electronic recording of fishing activities. Specific software is already available on the market.
     What is necessary now is a legislative text laying down the minimal requirements.

     The setting of technical specifications, which are required in order to satisfy Community and
     third countries legislation, is the aim of an international project on secured and harmonised
     electronic logbook. This project is currently being carried out and specifications will be made
     available in 2005. A Commission Regulation will amend the current legislation on logbook
     and other recording requirements accordingly.

     With a view to facilitating the introduction of this technology, the Community may grant
     financial assistance to fishermen as well as to national authorities under the framework of
     Decision 2004/465/EC1, as it did in the past in order to promote the setting up of the vessel
     monitoring systems.

            Council Decision on a Community financial contribution towards Member States fisheries control
            programmes (JO L 157, 30.4.2004, p. 114).

 ---pagebreak---      Furthermore, the Commission proposes to take advantage of the Vessel Monitoring System
     (VMS) in order to track fishing vessels operating in a given fishing zone which may be in
     breach of national or Community legislation. Remotely sensed images may be used to detect
     such vessels. This technology is not new since it is already in use in other fields. Pilot projects
     focused on fishing activities have been carried out and they have proved to be successful. The
     objective is to cross-check the status of fishing vessels detected, thanks to this technology
     (Vessel Detection System), with position reports from VMS. Fisheries Monitoring Centres
     may wish to further investigate as regards those vessels which do not transmit position
     reports.

                                             UREDBA SVETA

                 o elektronskem zapisovanju in poročanju ribolovnih aktivnosti ter
                                     o daljinskem zaznavanju

     SVET EVROPSKE UNIJE JE –

     ob upoštevanju Pogodbe o ustanovitvi Evropske skupnosti in zlasti člena 37 Pogodbe,

     ob upoštevanju predloga Komisije,

     ob upoštevanju mnenja Evropskega parlamenta,

     ob upoštevanju naslednjega:

     (1)    Uredba Sveta (ES) št. 2371/20022 uvaja okvir za zagotovaljanje ohranjanja in
            trajnostnega izkoriščanja ribolovnih virov v okviru skupne ribiške politike.

     (2)    Cilji ohranjanja in trajnostnega izkoriščanja ribolovnih virov se dosegajo s pogoji, ki
            veljajo za dostop do voda in virov, in sicer z omejitvami ulova in ribolovnega napora
            in s sprejetjem tehničnih ukrepov, ki so povezani z ribolovnimi tehnikami in orodji ter
            velikostjo ulova.

     (3)    Zato je treba za temeljito vodenje možnosti ribolova in za doseganje teh ciljev
            spremljati ribolovne aktivnosti z najustreznejšimi načini. Nadzor nad količino ulova se
            pretežno izvaja z zbiranjem podatkov o ulovu, iztovarjanju, pretovarjanju, transportu
            in prodaji, medtem ko se nadzor nad ribolovnim naporom pretežno izvaja z zbiranjem
            podatkov o značilnostih plovila, času, porabljenem za ribolov ter o uporabljenih
            orodjih. Poleg tega tehnologije daljinskega zaznavanja omogočajo nadzornim
            organom za ribolov, da spremljajo prisotnost plovil na določenem območju.
            Kombinacija vseh teh načinov poveča natančnost podatkov.

     (4)    Člena 22(1) in 23(3) Uredbe št. 2371/2002 navajata, da Svet leta 2004 odloči o
            obveznosti elektronskega zapisovanja in sporočanja pomembnih podatkov v zvezi z
            ribolovnimi aktivnostmi, vključno glede iztovarjanj ali pretovarjanj ulova ter potrdila
            o prodaji in obveznosti vzpostavitve daljinskega zaznavanja.

     (5)    Pilotne projekte o elektronskem zapisovanju in sporočanju ter tudi o daljinskem
            zaznavanju so države članice in druge države izvedle v preteklih letih. Izkazali so se za
            utemeljene in stroškovno učinkovite.

     (7)    Ukrepe, potrebne za izvajanje te uredbe, je treba sprejeti v skladu s Sklepom Sveta
            1999/468/ES z dne 28. junija 1999 o določitvi postopkov za uresničevanje Komisiji

     1.      Kapitan ribiškega plovila Skupnosti na elektronski način zapisuje podatke o
             ribolovnih aktivnostih, ki jih mora v skladu z zakonodajo Skupnosti zapisati v

     2.      Izjava o iztovorjenem ulovu ribiškega plovila Skupnosti in potrdilo o prvi prodaji
             tega ulova mora biti zapisana v elektronski obliki.

     3.      Države članice oblikujejo administrativne in tehnične strukture, ki jim omogočajo
             elektronski sprejem, obdelavo, preverjanje in prenos podatkov iz ladijskega
             dnevnika, deklaracije o iztovarjanju in potrdila o prodaji iz odstavkov 1 in 2.

     4.      Podrobni predpisi za izvajanje odstavkov 1 in 2 se sprejmejo po postopku iz člena
             30(2) Uredbe (ES) št. 2371/2002. Ti predpisi lahko predvidijo izvzetje iz obveznosti,
             določenih v odstavkih 1 in 2 tega člena, kadar se ta izvzetja lahko upravičijo z
             nesorazmernostjo bremena, ki bi ga naložili izvajalcu, v primerjavi z gospodarsko
             pomembnostjo te aktivnosti.

     strukturo, ki jim omogoča, da pravočasno uskladijo podatke o položajih, ki jih na zemljo
     pošiljajo aparati za daljinsko zaznavanje s sateliti, s podatki Sistema spremljanja plovil
     (VMS), da ocenijo prisotnost ribiških plovil na določenem območju.

     2. Podrobni predpisi za izvajanje odstavkov 1 in 2 tega člena se sprejmejo po postopku iz
     člena 30(2) Uredbe (ES) št. 2371/2002.
