      REGULATION (EC) No 218/2009 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
   
   of 11 March 2009
   on the submission of nominal catch statistics by Member States fishing in the north-east Atlantic (recast)
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
   Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 285(1) thereof,
   Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
   Having regard to the opinion of the Statistical Programme Committee,
   Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty (1),
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               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 (2) has been substantially amended several times (3). Since further amendments are to be made, it should be recast in the interests of clarity.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               The management of the Community's fishery resources requires accurate and timely statistics on the catches by Member States' vessels fishing in the north-east Atlantic.
            
         
               (3)
            
            
               The Convention on Future Multilateral Cooperation in the North-East Atlantic Fisheries, approved by Council Decision 81/608/EEC (4) and establishing the North-East Atlantic Fisheries Commission, requires the Community to supply that Commission with the available statistics that it may request.
            
         
               (4)
            
            
               Advice received from the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea under the Cooperation Agreement between that organisation and the Community (5) will be enhanced by the availability of statistics on the activities of the Community fishing fleet.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               The Convention for the Conservation of Salmon in the North Atlantic Ocean, approved by Council Decision 82/886/EEC (6) and establishing the North Atlantic Salmon Conservation Organisation (Nasco), requires the Community to supply Nasco with the available statistics that it may request.
            
         
               (6)
            
            
               Several Member States have requested the submission of data in a different form or through a different medium from that specified in Annex IV (the equivalent of the Statlant questionnaires).
            
         
               (7)
            
            
               There is a need for fuller definitions and descriptions used in fishery statistics and in the management of the fisheries of the north-east Atlantic.
            
         
               (8)
            
            
               The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (7).
            
         
               (9)
            
            
               In particular, the Commission should be empowered to adapt the lists of species and statistical fishing regions, the descriptions of those fishing regions and the permitted degree of aggregation of data. Since those measures are of general scope and are designed to amend non-essential elements of this Regulation, they must be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny provided for in Article 5a of Decision 1999/468/EC,
            
         HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Each Member State shall submit to the Commission data on the annual nominal catches by vessels registered in or flying the flag of that Member State fishing in the north-east Atlantic.
   The nominal catch data shall include all fishery products landed or transhipped at sea in no matter what form but shall exclude quantities which, subsequent to capture, are discarded at sea, consumed on board or used as bait on board. Aquaculture production shall be excluded. The data shall be recorded as the live weight equivalent of the landings or transhipments, to the nearest tonne.
   Article 2
   1.   The data to be submitted shall be the nominal catches of each of the species listed in Annex I in each of the statistical fishing regions listed in Annex II and defined in Annex III.
   2.   The data for each calendar year shall be submitted within six months of the end of the year. No submissions shall be required for species/fishing region combinations for which no catches were recorded in the annual period of the submission. The data for species of minor importance in a Member State need not be individually identified in the submissions but may be included in an aggregated item provided that the weight of the products thus recorded does not exceed 10 % by weight of the total catch in that Member State in that month.
   3.   The Commission may amend the lists of species and statistical fishing regions, the descriptions of those fishing regions and the permitted degree of aggregation of data.
   Those measures, designed to amend non-essential elements of this Regulation, shall be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with scrutiny referred to in Article 5(2).
   Article 3
   Except where provisions adopted under the common fisheries policy dictate otherwise, a Member State shall be permitted to use sampling techniques to derive catch data for those parts of the fishing fleet for which the complete coverage of the data would involve the excessive application of administrative procedures. The details of the sampling procedures, together with details of the proportion of the total data derived by such techniques, must be included by the Member State in the report submitted pursuant to Article 6(1).
   Article 4
   Member States shall fulfil their obligations to the Commission pursuant to Articles 1 and 2 by submitting the data on magnetic medium, the format of which is given in Annex IV.
   Member States may submit data in the format detailed in Annex V.
   With the prior approval of the Commission, Member States may submit data in a different form or on a different medium.
   Article 5
   1.   The Commission shall be assisted by the Standing Committee for Agricultural Statistics, set up by Council Decision 72/279/EEC (8), hereinafter referred to as ‘the Committee’.
   2.   Where reference is made to this paragraph, Article 5a(1) to (4) and Article 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply, having regard to the provisions of Article 8 thereof.
   Article 6
   1.   By 1 January 1993 Member States shall submit a detailed report to the Commission describing how the data on catches are derived and specifying the degree of representativeness and reliability of those data. The Commission, in collaboration with the Member States, shall draw up a summary of those reports.
   2.   Member States shall inform the Commission of any modifications to the information provided under paragraph 1 within three months of their introduction.
   3.   Methodological reports, data availability and data reliability referred to in paragraph 1 and other relevant issues connected with the application of this Regulation shall be examined once a year within the competent Working Party of the Committee.
   Article 7
   1.   Regulation (EEC) No 3880/91 is hereby repealed.
   2.   References to the repealed Regulation shall be construed as references to this Regulation and shall be read in accordance with the correlation table in Annex VII.
   Article 8
   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.

      ANNEX I
      List of species which have been reported in the commercial catch statistics for the north-east Atlantic
      Member States must report the nominal catches of those species marked with an asterisk (*). The reporting of nominal catches of the remaining species is optional as concerns the identification of the individual species. However, where data for individual species are not submitted the data shall be included in aggregate categories. Member States may submit data for species not in the list provided that the species are clearly identified.

      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 40o00′ west to the north coast of Greenland; then in an easterly and southerly direction along the coast of Greenland to a point at 44o00′ west; then due south to 59o00′ north; then due east to 42o00′ west; then due south to 36o00′ north; then due east to a point on the coast of Spain (Punta Marroqui isthmus) at 5o36′ 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 68o30′ 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.
      ICES statistical subarea I
      The waters bounded by a line from the geographic North Pole along the meridian of 30o00′ east to 72o00′ north; then due west to 26o00′ east; then due south to the coast of Norway; then in an easterly direction along the coasts of Norway and 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 68o30′ east; then due north to the geographic North Pole.
