         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 of Article 11(1) thereof,
         Whereas:
         
                     (1)
                  
                  
                     Member States have to submit to the Commission annual reports on the implementation of their national work plans for data collection in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors.
                  
               
                     (2)
                  
                  
                     Under Article 11(1) of Regulation (EU) 2017/1004, the Commission may adopt implementing acts laying down rules on procedures, format and timetables for the submission and approval of those reports.
                  
               
                     (3)
                  
                  
                     To that end, the Commission has consulted the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) (2) and Member States' representatives in dedicated expert groups.
                  
               
                     (4)
                  
                  
                     The national correspondents for data collection discussed the draft format and timetables for annual reports on data collection at their meeting of 21 February 2018.
                  
               
                     (5)
                  
                  
                     The format of the annual reports was previously determined by Council Regulation (EC) No 199/2008 (3), which has now been repealed and replaced by Regulation (EU) 2017/1004. That format, which was based on a STECF evaluation (4), should be updated and aligned with the provisions of Regulation (EU) 2017/1004. In that context, it is appropriate to take into account the most recent data requirements laid down in the 2017-2019 multiannual Union programme for the collection, management and use of data in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors (5).
                  
               
                     (6)
                  
                  
                     Regulation (EU) 2017/1004 does not specify a deadline for the submission of the annual reports. In order to enable timely disclosure of the outcomes of national data collection work plans and timely provision of data to end-users, that deadline should now be set as 31 May of each year. In order to ensure compliance with that deadline in the year 2018, the template provided for by this Decision was made available to the Member States on 4 April 2018 and the Member States agreed to submit their reports in 2018 by 31 May.
                  
               
                     (7)
                  
                  
                     The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for fisheries and aquaculture,

                           General comment: This Table fulfills paragraph 2 point (a) (i)(ii)(iii) of Chapter III of the multiannual Union programme and Article 2, Article 3 and Article 8 of the Implementing Decision (EU) 2016/1701. This Table is intended to specify data to be collected under Tables 1(A), 1(B) and 1(C) of the multiannual Union programme. Use this Table to give an overview of the collection of data at the level of species area/stock level. All individuals sampled shall be indentified to species level and have length measurements taken, where possible.
                     
                  
                        
                           General comment: This Table is applicable to the Annual Report. This Table should provide a record of any significant changes to the landings in the sampling year, compared to the average over the reference period – if it has impacted on any sampling.

                        Member State shall indicate by ‘Y’ (yes) or ‘N’ (no) whether the species/stock has been selected for sampling. Indicate ‘Y’ (yes) if the species/stock is selected for sampling for at least one variable of Table 1B of this Annex.
                     
                  
                        Average landings in the reference years (tons)
                     
                     
                        Average landings for each species and stock over the most recent 3-year reference period. While entering the landings data, Member State shall take into account the following conventions: If the species is not landed at all, then enter ‘None’. If the average landings are less than 200 t, then do not enter the average landings figure, but enter ‘< 200’ instead. If the average landings exceed 200 t, then enter the average landings figure for the most recent 3-year reference period. Average landings figures may be rounded to the nearest 5 or 10 t.

In this column Member State shall: — enter ‘None’, if the Member State has no share in the EU TAC of the stock concerned, — enter the exact share if the Member State has a share in the EU TAC of the stock concerned.
                     
                  
                        Share (%) in EU landings
                     
                     
                        Applies to (i) all stocks in the Mediterranean; and (ii) all stocks outside the Mediterranean for which no TACs have been defined yet. In this column Member State shall: — enter ‘None’, if the Member State has no landings of the stock concerned, — enter the exact share, if the Member State has landings of the stock concerned, in the case that the Member State wants to invoke a threshold.
                     
                  
                        Threshold (Y/N)
                     
                     
                        Member State shall indicate by ‘Y’ (yes) or ‘N’ (no) whether, for the reported species/stock, a threshold applies, according to Chapter V of the multiannual Union programme.

                                    Description of the target population
                                    The target population and the elements of this target population accessibility, need to be defined and described in this section. In the case of Recreational Fisheries, the target population could be whole population of resident anglers, charter boats etc. This will permit to evaluate if all sectors contributing to the total catch, are included in the survey.

                                    In Table 1D, the methodology or type of survey used must be included, but any information about the design is missing.
                                    Table 5A in the Work Plan allows to identify if the sampling design is documented and where it can be found. Are the surveys identified correctly in table 5A and information about sampling design provided under this table?
                                    If the answer is No: information on the design should be included in this section of the Annual Report (e.g.: stratification, selection of PSU, is sampling probability base etc.).

                                    Information about data processing is found in the Work Plan, Table 5A. Are the editing and imputation methods documented and identified?
                                    If the answer is No: information on estimation procedures should be included in this section of the Annual Report, following the questions below:
                                    Does the estimation procedure follow the survey design?
                                    Has the precision of the estimates been calculated and documented?

                        Number of PSU sampled in which observers have been instructed to look for bycatch
                     
                     
                        Member State shall state the achieved number of PSU in which observers have been instructed to look for and record bycatch.
                     
                  
                        Does your sampling protocol allow for the calculation of observation effort ‘at haul level’ (Y/N)
                     
                     
                        Member State shall indicate by ‘Y’ (yes) or ‘N’ (no). Observation effort ‘at haul level’ can be obtained if the percentage of hauls of which the incidental by-catch has been checked by an observer at opening of the codend (trawl and seine only) is recorded* or if the overall percentage of the catch process that has been observed during sorting/processing or during hauling (set- and drift nets, longlining) is recorded^.
                        *% observation codend — In the situation where on board observers have to carry out different tasks and are therefore not able to observe the whole catch, an indication (a percentage) is required of the extent to which the catch has been observed at haul level. The exact protocol for sampling of the incidental catch at haul level depends on the type of fishery. In trawl fisheries, it is important to observe the opening of the codend of the trawlnet.
                        ^% sorting observed — In fisheries with large catches a percentage of coverage can be given for the process of sorting/processing the catch. The same is the case for fisheries where the catch comes on board over a longer period of time like set- or drift nets and longline fishery.
                     
                  
                        Is there any mitigation device? (Y/N)
                     
                     
                        Member State shall indicate by ‘Y’ (yes) or ‘N’ (no) whether there is/are mitigation device(s) in place (i.e. acoustic deterrent devices, escape devices, etc.) that could be affecting the numbers of by-catches. If ‘Y’ (yes), indicate the type of device in the ‘AR Comments’.

                                                Does the onboard observer protocol contain a check for rare specimens in the catch at opening of the codend? If YES is the observer instructed to indicate if the codend was NOT checked in a haul?

                                                In gill nets — and hook-and-line fisheries: does the onboard observer protocol instruct the observer to indicate how much of the hauling process has been observed for (large) incidental bycatches which never came on board (because they fall out of the net)? In large catches: does the protocol instruct to check for rare specimens during sorting of the catch (i.e. at conveyor belt)? Is the observer instructed to indicate what percentage of the sorting or hauling process has been checked at ‘haul level’?

                        Name of survey
                     
                     
                        Member State shall state the name of the survey. For mandatory surveys the name shall be the same as the one used in Table 10 of the multiannual Union programme.
                     
                  
                        Acronym
                     
                     
                        Member State shall state the acronym of the survey. For mandatory surveys the acronym shall be the same as the one used in Table 10 of multiannual Union programme.
                     
                  
                        Type of data collected
                     
                     
                        Member State shall state the type of data collected. Use a separate line for each type of data collected. Member State is prompted to use the following categories: biological data for a given stock, larvae data for a given stock, egg production for a given stock, CTD by haul, litter by haul, marine mammal, turtles, sea bird observations, benthos in the trawl, etc. In the case of multispecies surveys, different stocks may be grouped.
                     
                  
                        Core/Additional variable
                     
                     
                        Core variables are those resulting from core sampling activities driving the survey design. Additional variables are all the rest. Reporting of additional variables is not mandatory.
                     
                  
                        Used as basis of advice (Y/N)
                     
                     
                        Member State shall enter ‘Y’ (yes) or ‘N’ (no) if the data collected is expected to be used as basis for advice. Member State can specify in the ‘Comments’ the type of advice (stock assessment, integrated ecosystem assessment, national advice, etc.).
                     
                  
                        Comments
                     
                     
                        Any further comment.
                     
                  
                        Was the sampling carried out? (Y/N/P)
                     
                     
                        Member State shall enter ‘Y’ (yes), ‘N’ (no) or ‘P’ (partially) if the particular data object was/was not/was partially sampled during the survey. If ‘P’ is entered, Member State shall specify what data has been collected in ‘AR comments’.
                     
                  
                        Relevant international database
                     
                     
                        This will be automatically filled in if the name of the survey and acronym is the same as in Table 1G. If not, the Member State shall state the name of the international database, in relation to the data collected under the research survey, or enter ‘no existing database’. This applies to the existence of an international database, not to the fact that data are, or are not, uploaded.
                     
                  
                        Was the data uploaded to the relevant database? (Y/N)
                     
                     
                        Member State shall enter ‘Y’ (yes) or ‘N’ (no) to indicate if the particular data object is uploaded or not to the relevant database.
                     
                  
                        Other data assimilations? (Y/N)
                     
                     
                        Member State shall enter ‘Y’ (yes) or ‘N’ (no) to indicate if the disaggregated data are/are not submitted or assimilated to other scientific bodies than the relevant database.
                     
                  
                        Indication if AR comments are required by MS
                     
                     
                        This column is automatically filled in. If the answer in the fields of the Annual Report part if this Table is either ‘N’ or ‘P’, then the row will be flagged in this field with an ‘x’ to ensure that the Member State is aware that an explanation is requested. Member State can fill in comments even if no indication is given.
                     
                  
                        AR Comments
                     
                     
                        Member State can/must (see above) include an explanation for the discrepancy detected between planned and achieved effort. Member State can fill in comments even though no indication is given. Extended comments should only be placed in the text section (Text Box 1G) but need to be referenced in this column

This table is intended to specify data to be collected under Table 11 of the multiannual Union programme. Use this Table to give an overview of the collection of economic and social data of the processing industry. Specify data collection for variables not covered by the ESTAT or for which additional sampling is required. Economic data shall be collected on fish processing companies below 10 employees as well as for companies which have fish processing as a secondary activity, as well as for unpaid labour and raw material. Employment data, by gender, shall be collected for all companies' sizes.

                        Member State shall record the total number of primary sampling units (PSU) that were available for selection for the specified stratum in the sampling year. The PSU is as defined in the Work Plan table 4A in the column ‘PSU type’. These typically are vessel, trip, location and time etc. The total number of PSU should be broadly similar to the ‘Average number of PSU in the reference year’ column in the Work Plan; it will however reflect the actual situation found in the sampling year. If there is a temporal element to the stratum definition in the work plan that relates to less than the whole year, then the PSU total must respect this.
                        Work Plan table 4A should include one or more rows for strata for which no sampling is planned. In the Annual Report, this should be populated with the actual number of PSU for unsampled strata.

                        Member State shall record the number of primary sampling units (PSU) from which data was successfully collected for the specified stratum in the sampling year. The PSU is as defined in the Work Plan table 4A in the column ‘PSU type’ (these typically are vessel, trip, location and time etc.). The achieved number of PSU should be broadly similar to the ‘Planned number of PSU’ entry in the Work Plan. It will however reflect the actual situation found in the sampling year. If there is a temporal element to the stratum definition in the work plan that relates to less than the whole year, then the achieved PSU must respect this.
