Title: COMMISSION DELEGATED DECISION (EU) …/… 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

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
            
            
               1.CONTEXT OF THE DELEGATED ACT
            
            
               Under Articles 4 and 5 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1004 (the Data Collection Framework Regulation – ‘the DCF Regulation’) the Commission establishes a multiannual Union programme for the collection and management of data in the fisheries sector (‘the EU MAP’). Article 4 of the DCF Regulation stipulates that the part of the EU MAP referring to point (a) of Article 5(1) of the DCF Regulation shall be covered by a delegated act. The Delegated Decision sets out this part of the EU MAP, namely a detailed list of the data requirements to fulfil the objectives of the common fisheries policy (Article 2 of Regulation (EU) 2013/1380, the Common Fisheries Policy Regulation), and in particular, to collect data necessary for fisheries management (Article 25 thereof). The Delegated Decision will replace current Delegated Decision (EU) 2019/910, which sets out the relevant part of the EU MAP for 2020-2021. 
            
            
               2.CONSULTATIONS PRIOR TO THE ADOPTION OF THE ACT
            
            
               The consultation process, which began in 2018, included the following steps: 
            
            
               (a)November 2018 – Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee on Fisheries (STECF) plenary – overview of the state of play; 
            
            
               (b)Spring 2019 – a survey on the future EU MAP addressed to regional coordination groups (RCGs), the end users of the scientific data, and the Commission expert group on data collection, including the Planning Group on Economic Issues (PGECON); STECF 19-05 expert working group on mandatory surveys at sea;
            
            
               (c)Autumn 2019 – STECF 19-12 expert working group on the EU MAP, incorporating spring stakeholder input; the group’s outcomes were adopted at the STECF 19-03 plenary meeting;
            
            
               (d)Spring 2020 – internal consultations on the Commission’s draft EU MAP with DG MARE, DG ENV, DG ESTAT, and the JRC.
            
            
               In line with Article 24(4) of the DCF Regulation, on 1 July 2020 and 22 September 2020 the Commission consulted experts designated by the Member States on the draft delegated decision. In line with Article 4(2), the Commission consulted the RCGs on the draft at the same meetings and the STECF at its plenary meeting in November 2020 (STECF 20-03).
            
            
               Furthermore, online feedback on the text of the delegated decision was collected on the Better Regulation portal for four weeks between 15 February and 15 March 2021. Following adoption, the delegated decision will be subject to scrutiny from the European Parliament and the Council for a period of two months.
            
            
               3.LEGAL ELEMENTS OF THE DELEGATED ACT
            
            
               The Delegated Decision is based on Articles 4, 5 and 24 of the DCF Regulation. It replaces EU MAP Commission Delegated Decision (EU) 2019/910. The Annex sets out general rules on data collection and the data sets required, and tables listing required species, variables and other mandatory or optional elements.

                   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’.

                   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).

                   Cages are defined as open or covered enclosed structures constructed with net, mesh or any porous material allowing natural water interchange. These structures may be floating, suspended or fixed to the substrate, but still permit water interchange from below (Regulation (EC) No 762/2008).
