Title: COMMISSION DELEGATED DECISION (EU) …/… establishing the multiannual Union programme for the collection and management of biological, environmental, technical and socio-economic data in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
            
            
               1.CONTEXT OF THE DELEGATED ACT
            
            
               Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/1251 on the multiannual Union programme for the collection, management and use of data in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors
                  1
                (the EU MAP) is the legal basis for data collection in the above mentioned sectors for the period 2017-2019. The EU MAP lays down:
            
            
               – detailed arrangements on collection by Member States of biological, environmental and socio-economic data,
            
            
               –the list of surveys at sea and
            
            
               –the thresholds for data collection.
            
            
               The current EU MAP Commission Implementing Decision is based on the data collection legislation which preceded the European Parliament and Council Regulation (EU) 2017/1004 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
                  2
                (The Data Collection Framework Regulation), now in force, and was limited to a 3-year period in view of adoption of the 2017 Data Collection Framework Regulation.
            
            
               Article 4 of the 2017 Data Collection Framework Regulation requires that the provisions related to biological, environmental and socio-economic data should be adopted in the future by means of a Delegated Decision, while the list of mandatory research surveys at sea and thresholds for data collection and research surveys at sea should be adopted by means of an Implementing Decision of the Commission. In order to prepare the review of the EU MAP after 2019, consultations with experts under the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee on Fisheries, regional coordination groups, Member State representatives and other relevant stakeholders are already on the way on the contents of a new EU MAP and will be finalised only at the end of 2019. In order to avoid a legal gap after the expiry of the 2017-2019 EU MAP and to allow sufficient time for the ongoing consultations on the revision process, a new EU MAP taking over the current provisions relating to biological, environmental and socio-economic data is being envisaged through this Delegated Decision. An Implementing Decision on the list of mandatory research surveys at sea and thresholds which takes up the provisions of the current EU MAP in this respect is also accompanying this process.
            
            
               Pursuant to Article 4 of the 2017 Data Collection Framework Regulation the Commission shall adopt the part of the multiannual programme covering maters provided for in point (a) of Article 5(1) of that Regulation by means of a delegated act.
            
            
               2.CONSULTATIONS PRIOR TO THE ADOPTION OF THE ACT
            
            
               The proposed Delegated Decision has been subject to an interservice consultation within the Commission and has received the opinion of Member State representatives under the Commission Expert Working Group on data collection. The act has been made available on the Better Regulation website of the European Commission for four weeks in view of stakeholder feedback. Minor drafting changes were recommended by Member State representatives and were taken on board, while no additional feedback was received during the stakeholder publication period. The proposed Delegated Decision has been sent following its adoption to the European Parliament and to the Council of the European Union for scrutiny.
            
            
               3.LEGAL ELEMENTS OF THE DELEGATED ACT
            
            
               The proposed Delegated Decision is based on Articles 4, 5 and 24 of the Data Collection Regulation (EU) 2017/1004. The proposed Delegated Decision takes up, without changes of substance, the contents of EU-MAP Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/1251, inasmuch as these concern elements to be adopted by way of delegated act and in particular of the Annex Chapters I, II and III and of their corresponding tables.

               establishing the multiannual Union programme for the collection and management of biological, environmental, technical and socio-economic data in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors
            
            
               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
                  3
               , and in particular the first and second subparagraphs of Article 4(1) thereof,
            
         
         
            
               Whereas:
            
            
               (1)Pursuant to Article 25 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, the Member States are to collect biological, environmental, technical and socio-economic data necessary for fisheries management. The multiannual Union programme for the collection, management and use of data in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors (EU MAP)
                  4
                for the period 2017-2019 was adopted by Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/1251
                  5
                and will expire on 31 December 2019. 
            
            
               (2)The multiannual Union programme is necessary for Member States to specify and plan their data collection activities in their national work plans. In accordance with Article 21 of Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council
                  6
                these national work plans are to be submitted to the Commission by 31 October preceding the year from which the work plan is to apply. 
            
            
               (3)In order to prepare the review of the current EU MAP after 2019, consultations with experts under the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee on Fisheries, regional coordination groups, Member State representatives and other relevant stakeholders are ongoing and will be finalised only at the end of 2019. As a result, the new EU MAP taking into account the outcomes of these consultations cannot be adopted before 2021.
            
            
               (4)For the period from 2020 to 2021 it is, therefore, necessary to adopt the provisions on the collection and management of biological, environmental, technical and socio-economic data, included in the current EU MAP, on the basis of Regulation (EU) 2017/1004. 
            
            
               (5)This decision therefore establishes, in accordance with Article 4 of Regulation (EU) 2017/1004, detailed arrangements on collection and management of biological, environmental, technical and socio-economic data by Member States as referred to in Article 5(1)(a) of that Regulation. The list of mandatory surveys at sea and 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), are provided for by Commission Implementing Decision (EU) C(2019)1001.
            
            
               (6)For the purposes of legal certainty, Commission Implementing Decision (EU) C(2019)1001 establishing the list of mandatory surveys and thresholds for the purposes of the multiannual Union programme for the collection and management of data in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors repeals Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/1251 with effect from 1 January 2020,

               (1)active vessels: vessels that have been engaged in any fishing operation (one day or more) during a calendar year. A vessel that has not been engaged in fishing operations during a year is considered "inactive".
            
            
               (2)anadromous species: living aquatic resources with lifecycle starting by hatching in freshwater, migrating to saltwater, returning and finally spawning in freshwater.
            
            
               (3)catadromous species: living aquatic resources with lifecycle starting by hatching in saltwater, migrating to freshwater, returning and finally spawning in saltwater.
            
            
               (4)catch fraction: a part of the total catch, such as the part of the catch landed above the minimum conservation reference size, the part landed below the minimum conservation reference size, the part discarded below the minimum conservation reference size, de minimis discards or discards.
            
            
               (5)days at sea: any continuous period of 24 hours (or part thereof) during which a vessel is present within an area and absent from port.
            
            
               (6)fishing days: any calendar day at sea in which a fishing operation takes place, without prejudice to the international obligations of the Union and its Member States. One fishing trip can contribute to both the sum of the fishing days for passive gears and the sum of the fishing days for active gears on that trip.
            
            
               (7)fishing ground: (group of) geographical units where fishing takes place. These units shall be agreed at marine region level on the basis of existing areas defined by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations or scientific bodies.
            
            
               (8)fleet segment: group of vessels with the same length class (LOA, length overall) and predominant fishing gear during the year.
            
            
               (9)metier: a group of fishing operations targeting a similar (assemblage of) species, using similar gear
                  6
               , during the same period of the year and/or within the same area and which are characterised by a similar exploitation pattern.
            
            
               (10)research surveys at sea: trips carried out on a research vessel, or a vessel dedicated to scientific research for stock and ecosystem monitoring, and designated for this task by the body in charge of the implementation of the national workplan established in accordance with Article 21 of Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council

               1) Number of branch lines between floats. The number of branch lines between floats shall be reported for each set. 
            
            
               2) Number of fish caught per set, for the following species: albacore (Thunnus alalunga), bigeye (Thunnus obesus), skipjack (Katsuwonus pelamis), yellowfin (Thunnus albacares), striped marlin (Tetrapturus audax), blue marlin (Makaira mazara), black marlin (Makaira indica) and swordfish (Xiphias gladius), blue shark, silky shark, oceanic whitetip shark, mako sharks, thresher sharks, porbeagle shark (south of 20°S, until biological data shows this or another geographic limit to be appropriate), hammerhead sharks (winghead, scalloped, great, and smooth), whale shark, and other species as determined by the Commission. 
            
            
               If the total weight or average weight of fish caught per set has been recorded, then the total weight or average weight of fish caught per set, by species, shall also be reported. If the total weight or average weight of fish caught per set has not been recorded, then the total weight or average weight of fish caught per set, by species, shall be estimated and the estimates reported. The total weight or average weight shall refer to whole weights, rather than processed weights.

               1. Enterprises shall be segmented according to their main farming technique.
            
            
               2. 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 juveniles stages of aquatic animals are considered being produced in nurseries. When hatcheries and nurseries are closely associated, statistics shall refer only to the latest juvenile stage produced. (COM (2006) 864 of 19 July 2007)
            
            
               3. “On-bottom” techniques cover shellfish farming in inter-tidal areas (directly on the ground or surelevated)
            
            
               4. Recirculation systems means systems where the water is reused after some form of treatment (e.g. filtering).
            
            
               5. 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. (COM (2006) 864 of 19 July 2007)
            
         
         
            
               6. 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 permitting water interchange from below. (COM (2006) 864 of 19 July 2007).
