         COMMISSION DELEGATED DECISION (EU) 2021/1167
         of 27 April 2021
         establishing the multiannual Union programme for the collection and management of biological, environmental, technical and socioeconomic data in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors from 2022
         THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
         Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
         Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2017/1004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2017 on the establishment of a Union framework for the collection, management and use of data in the fisheries sector and support for scientific advice regarding the common fisheries policy and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 199/2008 (1), and in particular the first and second subparagraphs of Article 4(1) thereof,
         Whereas:
         
                     (1)
                  
                  
                     Article 25 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) requires the Member States to collect the biological, environmental, technical and socioeconomic data that are necessary for fisheries management.
                  
               
                     (2)
                  
                  
                     Article 4(1) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1004 requires the Commission to establish a multiannual Union programme for the collection, management and use of data in the fisheries sector (EU MAP).
                  
               
                     (3)
                  
                  
                     The EU MAP is necessary for Member States to specify and plan their data collection activities in their national work plans and sets out a detailed list of data requirements for the collection and management of biological, environmental and socioeconomic data, lists mandatory surveys at sea and sets thresholds for data collection. The EU MAP for 2020-2021 was adopted by Commission Delegated Decision (EU) 2019/910 (3) and Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/909 (4). Both decisions expire on 31 December 2021.
                  
               
                     (4)
                  
                  
                     This Decision therefore establishes detailed arrangements on the collection and management of biological, environmental, technical and socioeconomic data by Member States as referred to in Article 5(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1004 from 1 January 2022.
                  
               
                     (5)
                  
                  
                     The Commission has consulted the relevant regional coordination groups and the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries in line with Article 4(2) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1004.
                  
               
                     (6)
                  
                  
                     This decision is to be read in conjunction with Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/1168 (5), which repeals Implementing Decision (EU) 2019/909 and establishes the list of mandatory surveys at sea and the thresholds below which it is not mandatory for Member States to collect data based on their fishing and aquaculture activities or carry out research surveys at sea, as referred to in Article 5(1)(b) and (c) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1004, from 1 January 2022. It also lays down the areas of marine regions for the purposes of data collection as referred to in Article 9(11) of that Regulation (EU) 2017/1004.
                  
               
                     (7)
                  
                  
                     For reasons of legal certainty, Delegated Decision (EU) 2019/910 should be repealed with effect from 1 January 2022,

               (61)  For vessels less than 12 m in the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea, the length categories are 0-< 6, 6-< 12 m. For vessels less than 12 m in the Baltic Sea, the length categories are 0-< 8, 8-< 12 m. For all other regions, the length categories are defined as 0-< 10, 10-< 12 m.
            
               (62)  The dominance criteria are be used to allocate each vessel to a segment based on the number of fishing days used with each gear. If a fishing gear is used by more than the sum of all the others (i.e. a vessel spends more than 50 % of its fishing time using that gear), the vessel shall be allocated to that segment. If not, the vessel shall be allocated to the following fleet segment: (a) ‘Vessels using polyvalent ‘active’ gears only’ if it only uses active gears; (b) ‘Vessels using polyvalent ‘passive’ gears only’ if it only uses passive gears; (c) ‘Vessel using active and passive gears’.
            
               (63)  Vessels less than 12 metres using passive gears in the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea may be disaggregated by gear type. The fleet segment definition also includes an indication of the supra-region and, if available, a geographical indicator to identify vessels fishing in outermost regions and exclusively outside EU waters.
            
               (64)  Vessels less than 12 metres using passive gears in the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea may be disaggregated by gear type.

               (67)  Hatcheries and nurseries are defined as places for the artificial breeding, hatching and rearing through the early life stages of aquatic animals. For statistical purposes, hatcheries are limited to the production of fertilised eggs. Further juvenile stages of aquatic animals are considered as being produced in nurseries. When hatcheries and nurseries are closely associated, statistics shall refer only to the latest juvenile stage produced (Regulation (EC) No 762/2008).
            
               (68)  Enclosures and pens are defined as areas of water confined by nets, mesh and other barriers allowing uncontrolled water interchange and distinguished by the fact that enclosures occupy the full water column between substrate and surface; pens and enclosures generally enclose a relatively large volume of water (Regulation (EC) No 762/2008).
            
               (69)  Recirculation systems means systems where the water is reused after some form of treatment (e.g. filtering).
            
               (70)  Cages are defined as open or covered enclosed structures constructed with net, mesh or any porous material allowing natural water interchange.
