            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2016/1251
      of 12 July 2016
      adopting a multiannual Union programme for the collection, management and use of data in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors for the period 2017-2019
      
         
            (notified under document C(2016) 4329)
         
      
      THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
      Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
      Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 199/2008 of 25 February 2008 concerning the establishment of a Community framework for the collection, management and use of data in the fisheries sector and support for scientific advice regarding the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
      Whereas:
      
                  (1)
               
               
                  Pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 199/2008, a multiannual Union programme for the collection, management and use of data in the fisheries sector is to be adopted for a period of three years for the purpose of ensuring uniform application of the obligation to collect and manage data.
               
            
                  (2)
               
               
                  The current multiannual Union programme is based on the multiannual programme for the period 2011-2013, that was prolonged by Commission Implementing Decision C(2013)5243 in order to bridge the period between the adoption of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) and 31 December 2016. It is therefore necessary to establish a multiannual Union programme for a three-year period starting 1 January 2017.
               
            
                  (3)
               
               
                  Pursuant to Article 25 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, the Member States shall collect biological, environmental, technical and socioeconomic data necessary for fisheries management. 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 (3) these national work plans have to be submitted to the Commission by 31 October preceding the year from which the work plan is to apply.
               
            
                  (4)
               
               
                  The multiannual Union programme should define data collection requirements in accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 199/2008. It should contain the elements needed for the implementation of the common fisheries policy in as far as they are not already required under other legislative frameworks.
               
            
                  (5)
               
               
                  In order to achieve the objectives of the reformed common fisheries policy set out in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, it is necessary to update the Union data requirements for sound scientific advice for the period starting from 1 January 2017.
               
            
                  (6)
               
               
                  Moreover, new international obligations and commitments imposed upon Member States and the Union by multilateral and bilateral agreements with regard to fisheries require incorporation of certain requirements concerning data collection into the multiannual Union programme, in particular those stemming from Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreements (SFPAs).
               
            
                  (7)
               
               
                  Evaluation of the current framework for the collection, management and use of data in the fisheries sector and subsequent stakeholder consultations have indicated that the multiannual Union programme should focus on what data are required from Member States, rather than on the methods to collect them. Methodological requirements shall be described in Member States' work plans to be approved by the Commission, following close cooperation between Member States at the level of marine regions.
               
            
                  (8)
               
               
                  The Union programme for the period 2017-2019 should therefore take account of all these elements and of the objectives of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, in particular Articles 2 and 25 thereof, to the extent possible within the current legal framework provided by Regulation (EC) No 199/2008. Where new data requirements go beyond the current legislative framework, they should be optional. Once a new legal framework amending Regulation (EC) No 199/2008 will enter into force, the Commission may amend the multiannual Union programme, if necessary, to reflect any new data collection requirements.
               
            
                  (9)
               
               
                  The Commission has taken account of the recommendations resulting from consultation with the Regional Coordination Meetings referred to in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 199/2008 and the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF). Other appropriate consultative scientific bodies such as the International Council for the Exploration of the Seas (ICES) have also been consulted, as well as representatives of Member States gathered in dedicated expert groups.
               
            
                  (10)
               
               
                  For reasons of legal certainty, Implementing Decision C(2013)5243 should be repealed.
               
            
                  (11)
               
               
                  The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,
               
            HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

In addition, the following definitions shall also apply:
         (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.

               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 (4), 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 work plan established in accordance with Article 21 of Regulation (EU) No 508/2014.
         
            CHAPTER II
         
         
            Data collection methods
         
         Data collection methods and quality shall be appropriate for the intended purposes defined in Article 25 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 and shall follow the best practices and relevant methodologies advised by the relevant scientific bodies. To this end, the methods and the result of the application of the methods shall be examined at regular intervals by independent scientific bodies in order to verify their appropriateness with respect to the management of the common fisheries policy.

                     The data to be collected shall be established in accordance with Articles 3, 4 and 5 of Regulation (EC) No 199/2008 and taking into account the thresholds set out in Chapter V of this Annex.
                  
               
                  
                     1.3.
                  
                  
                     Data shall be collected to enable valid estimates to be derived for the type of fisheries, temporal periods and areas based on end-user needs agreed at marine region level. The frequency of data collection is to be coordinated at marine region level, unless stated otherwise in this Annex and corresponding tables.
                  
               2.   Biological data on stocks caught by Union commercial fisheries in Union and outside Union waters and by recreational fisheries in Union waters.

                           and as regards all wild salmon: information collected annually — unless agreed otherwise at regional level — on the abundance of smolt and parr and number of ascending individuals.
                     The designation of rivers to be monitored for eel and salmon shall be defined at regional level. The selection of stocks from which these variables have to be collected shall be coordinated at regional level based on end-user needs.
                  
               3.   Data to assess the impact of Union fisheries on marine ecosystems in Union waters and outside Union waters
         
         Those data shall consist of the following:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     For all types of fisheries, incidental by-catch of all birds, mammals and reptiles and fish protected under Union legislation and international agreements, including the species listed in Table 1D, including absence in the catch, during scientific observer trips on fishing ships or by the fishers themselves through logbooks.
                     Where data collected during observer trips are not considered to provide sufficient data on incidental by-catch for end-user needs, other methodologies, shall be implemented by Member States. The selection of these methodologies shall be coordinated at marine region level and be based on end-user needs.
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     Data to assist in the assessment of the impact of fisheries in Union waters and outside Union waters on marine habitats.
                     The variables used for assessing the impact of fisheries on marine habitat shall be those recorded under Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009. Data shall be disaggregated at fishing activity level 3 (6), unless a lower level of aggregation is required at regional level, in particular in the case of marine protected areas.
                     When data recorded under Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 are not at the correct resolution or are not of sufficient quality or coverage for the intended scientific use, they shall be collected in an alternative way by using appropriate sampling methods. Data as recorded under Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 are to be made available at the appropriate level of aggregation to the national institutions implementing the work plans.
                  
               
                     (c)
                  
                  
                     Data for estimating the level of fishing and the impact of fishing activities on marine biological resources and on marine ecosystems, such as effects on non-commercial species, predator-prey relationships and natural mortality of fish species in each marine region.
                     These data shall be first assessed within pilot studies. Based on the outcomes of these pilot studies, Member States shall determine future data collection specific for each marine region, coordinated at marine region level and based on end-user needs.
                  
               4.   Detailed data on the activity of Union fishing vessels
             (7)
            in Union waters and outside Union waters as recorded under Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009.
         
         Data to assess the activity of Union fishing vessels in Union waters and outside Union waters consist of the variables as indicated in Table 4. Data as recorded, reported and transmitted under Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 are to be made available in the form of primary data to the national institutions implementing the work plans. When these data are not to be collected under Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 or when data collected under Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 are not at the correct resolution or are not of sufficient quality or coverage for the intended scientific use, they shall be collected in an alternative way by using appropriate sampling methods. These methods shall allow for the estimation of variables listed in Table 4 at the lowest relevant geographic level by fleet segment (Table 5a) and metier level 6 (Table 2).
         5.   Social and economic data on fisheries to enable the assessment of the social and economic performance of the Union fisheries sector.
         
         Those data shall consist of the following:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     Economic variables as indicated in Table 5A according to the sector segmentation of Table 5B and according to the supraregions as defined in Table 5C.
                     The population shall be all active and inactive vessels registered in the Union Fishing Fleet Register as defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 26/2004 (8) on 31 December of the reporting year and vessels that do not appear on the Register at that date but have fished at least one day during the reporting year
                     For inactive vessels only capital value and capital cost shall be collected.
                     In cases where there is a risk of natural persons and/or legal entities being identified clustering may be applied to report economic variables in order to ensure statistical confidentiality. Clustering may also be used if necessary to design a statistically sound sampling plan. Such a clustering scheme shall be consistent over time.
                     Economic data shall be collected on an annual basis.
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     Social variables as indicated in Table 6.
                     Social data shall be collected every three years starting in 2018.
                     Data on employment by education level and employment by nationality may be collected on the basis of pilot studies.
                  
               6.   Social, economic and environmental data on marine aquaculture, and optionally on freshwater aquaculture, to enable the assessment of the social, economic and environmental performance of the Union aquaculture sector.
         
         Those data shall consist of the following:
         
                     (a)
                  
                  
                     Economic variables as indicated in Table 7 according to the sector segmentation set out in Table 9.
                     The population shall be all enterprises whose primary activity is defined according to the European classification of economic activities NACE (9) codes 03.21 and 03.22 and who operate for profit.
                     Economic data shall be collected on an annual basis.
                  
               
                     (b)
                  
                  
                     Social variables as indicated in Table 6.
                     Social data shall be collected every three years starting in 2018.
                     Data on employment by education level and employment by nationality may be collected on the basis of pilot studies.
                  
               
                     (c)
                  
                  
                     Environmental data on aquaculture as indicated in Table 8 to enable the assessment of aspects of its environmental performance.
                     Environmental data may be collected on the basis of pilot studies and extrapolated to indicate totals relevant to the total volume of fish produced in the Member State.
                     Environmental data shall be collected every two years.

            Research surveys at sea
         
         
                  
                     1.
                  
                  
                     At least all research surveys at sea listed in Table 10 shall be carried out, unless a review of surveys leads to the conclusion that a survey is no longer appropriate for informing stock assessment and fisheries management. Based on the same scientific review criteria, new surveys can be added to this table.
                  
               
                  
                     2.
                  
                  
                     Member States shall set out, as part of the work plans defined in Article 21 of Regulation (EU) No 508/2014, the research surveys at sea to be carried out and shall be responsible for these surveys.
                  
               
                  
                     3.
                  
                  
                     Member States' respective contribution to international research surveys shall be coordinated within the same marine region.
                  
               
                  
                     4.
                  
                  
                     Member States shall guarantee within their national work plans continuity with previous survey designs.
                  
               
            CHAPTER V
         
         
            Thresholds
         
         
                  
                     1.
                  
                  
                     This Chapter shall apply to Union fisheries.
                  
               
                  
                     2.
                  
                  
                     No biological data need to be collected if, for a certain fish stock or species:
                     
                                 (a)
                              
                              
                                 a Member State's share of the related total allowable catch (TAC) is less than 10 % of the total of the Union; or
                              
                           
                                 (b)
                              
                              
                                 in case no TAC is fixed, the total landings of a Member State of a stock or species are less than 10 % of the average total EU landings in the previous 3 years; or
                              
                           
                                 (c)
                              
                              
                                 the total annual landings of a Member State of a species is less than 200 tonnes. For species with a specific management need, a lower threshold may be defined at marine region level.
                              
                           When the sum of the relevant quotas of several Member States, whose share of a TAC is less than 10 %, is higher than 25 % of the share of the TAC for a certain stock, the 10 % threshold referred to under (a) shall not apply and Member States shall ensure task-sharing at regional level in order to ensure that the stock is covered by sampling in concordance with end-user needs.
                     No threshold shall apply to large pelagic species and anadromous and catadromous species.
                  
               
                  
                     3.
                  
                  
                     Without prejudice to more specific provisions relating to international obligations under RFMOs, no biological data need to be collected if, for a certain internationally exploited fish stock other than stocks of large pelagic or highly migratory species, the Union's share is less than 10 %.
                  
               
                  
                     4.
                  
                  
                     Member States shall provide catch estimates from existing recreational fishery surveys, including those carried out under the data collection framework or from an additional pilot study, within two years from the date on which this Decision takes effect. These surveys shall allow assessment of the share of catches from recreational fisheries in relation to commercial catches for all species in a marine region for which recreational catch estimates are required under this multiannual Union programme. The subsequent design and extent of national surveys of recreational fisheries, including any thresholds for data collection, shall be coordinated at marine region level and shall be based on end-user needs.
                     No threshold shall apply to recreational catches of fish stocks which are subject to recovery or multiannual management plans such as those applying to large pelagic species and highly migratory species.
                  
               
                  
                     5.
                  
                  
                     No social and economic data on aquaculture need to be collected if the total production of the Member State is less than 1 % of the total Union production volume and value. No data need to be collected on aquaculture for species accounting for less than 10 % of the Member State's aquaculture production by volume and value. Additionally, Member States with a total production of less than 2,5 % of the total Union aquaculture production volume and value may define a simplified methodology such as pilot studies with a view to extrapolate the data required for species accounting for more than 10 % of the Member States' aquaculture production by volume and value.
                     The reference data shall be the Member States' latest submission under Regulation (EC) No 762/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council (10) and the corresponding data published by Eurostat.
                  
               
                  
                     6.
                  
                  
                     No environmental data on aquaculture need to be collected where the total aquaculture production of the Member State is less than 2,5 % of the total Union aquaculture production volume and value.
                     The reference data shall be the Member States' latest submission under Regulation (EC) No 762/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council, and corresponding data published by Eurostat.
                  
               
                  
                     7.
                  
                  
                     A Member State's participation (physical or financial) in research surveys at sea listed in Table 10 is not mandatory when its share of a Union TAC of the survey target species is below a threshold of 3 %. Where no TAC is set, a Member State's participation (physical or financial) in research surveys at sea is not mandatory when its share of the total Union landings of the preceding 3 years of a stock or species is below a threshold of 3 %. Thresholds for multispecies and ecosystem surveys may be defined at marine region level.
                  
               
                  
                     8.
                  
                  
                     Notwithstanding points 2 to 7, within the same marine region, Member States may agree on alternative thresholds.
