         6.   Member States shall coordinate with a view to design and implement methods on an EU-wide or regional basis, in order to correct and impute data for those parts of the sampling plans which are not sampled or are inadequately sampled. Imputation methods shall take into account guidelines and methods adopted by international statistical organisations. Imputed data should be clearly flagged when reporting to end-users.
   Article 5
   Quality assurance and quality control
   1.   A quality assurance and quality control framework shall be described in publicly available documents referred to in the work plans, where appropriate. It shall establish the general principles, methods and tools that can provide guidance and evidence for an effective and common approach at European and national level.
   2.   Methods related to quality shall be described in:
   
               (a)

               Text Box 2A;
            
         
               (d)
            
            
               Text Box 3A;
            
         
               (e)
            
            
               Text Box 3B; and
            
         
               (f)
            
            
               Text Box 3C.
            
         3.   Where data are to be collected by sampling, Member States shall use statistically sound designs that follow guidelines for good practice provided by the Commission, the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), STECF or other expert bodies to the European Commission. The description of sampling schemes shall include, but not be limited to, the specification of the purposes, design, expected execution difficulties (including non–response and refusals), data archiving, quality assurance procedures and analysis methods. This description shall also cover the definition of the sampling units, sampling frames and their coverage of the target population (including criteria used for coverage), stratification schemes and sample selection methods for primary, secondary and lower level sampling units. Where quantitative targets can be defined, they may be specified either directly by sample sizes or sampling rates, or by the definition of the levels of precision and of confidence to be achieved. For census data, Member States shall indicate if all segments are covered, which parts of the total population are missed and how these parts are estimated. The quality of sampling data shall be demonstrated using quality indicators related to precision and potential for bias, where appropriate.
   Article 6
   Availability of data to end-users
   For the purpose of describing when data will be made available to end-users, Table 6A shall be used.
   Article 7
   Regional and International cooperation and coordination arrangements
   1.   Member States shall set out in Table 7A in which relevant regional and international meetings they participate and in Table 7B on how agreed recommendations at marine region level or at EU-wide level, where appropriate, are followed up. If these recommendations are not followed up, Member States shall explain the reasons in the ‘Comments’ section of Table 7B. The effect these recommendations will have on their data collection shall be indicated.
   2.   Member States shall report in Table 7C all relevant information on agreements with other Member States. This information shall identify which Member State collects which part of the data and ensures that all data collection is covered, specify the duration of the agreement and identify which Member State will be responsible for data transmission to end-users.
   3.   Notwithstanding the research surveys at sea listed in Table 10 of the multiannual Union programme, Member States may take into consideration the needs of end-users when planning the survey effort or sampling design, provided that this does not negatively affect the quality of the results and provided that this is coordinated at marine region level. Member States may agree to redistribute certain tasks and contributions with other Member States in the same region. If agreement is reached on distribution of tasks with other Member States, the participation (physical and/or financial) in each individual survey as well as the reporting and transmission obligations of each Member State shall be stated in Text Box 1G.
   Article 8
   International obligations
   Member States shall include all the relevant data collection requirements stemming from their international obligations in the following tables:

                  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.

                              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.

                  Member State's name shall be given as ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code, e.g. ‘DEU’.
               
            
                  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.).

            General comment: This table fulfils footnote 6 of paragraph 1.1(d) of Chapter III of the multiannual Union programme and Article 2, Article 3 and Article 4 paragraph (1) of this Decision. 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.
      
                  Name of the variable

                  Member State's name shall be given as ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code, e.g. ‘DEU’.
               
            
                  Segment
               
               
                  The criteria for the segmentation shall be the number of persons employed. The following segmentation is recommended: companies <= 10; companies 11-49; companies 50-250; companies > 250.
               
            
                  Type of variables (E/S)
               
               
                  Member State shall enter the category that the variables belong to: ‘E’ (economic) or ‘S’ (social), based on Table 11 of the multiannual Union programme.
               
            
                  Variables
               
               
                  Member State shall refer to the naming convention used in Table 11 of the multiannual Union programme.
               
            
                  Data Sources
               
               
                  Member State shall enter the data sources used (accounts, questionnaires, etc.). Data sources shall be clearly stated for each variable.
               
            
                  Type of data collection scheme
               
               
                  Member State shall enter the code of the data collection scheme, as follows: A — Census; B — Probability sample survey; C — Non-probability sample survey; D — Indirect survey. In case the variable is not directly collected but estimated, indirect survey is applied. In that case, further explanation on the data collection scheme and estimation method is provided in Text Box 3C of this Annex.
               
            
                  Frequency
               
               
                  Member State shall enter the frequency that economic and social data shall be collected.
               
            
                  Planned sample rate %
               
               
                  The planned sample rate (%) shall be based on the population. When data collection for some variables will not be implemented, the column ‘Planned sample rate (%)’ shall be filled in with ‘N’ (no). Planned sample rate can be modified based on updated information on the total population.

                  Member State shall state the sampling scheme: ‘at markets’, ‘at sea’, a combination of both methods or ‘other’. If ‘other’ is used (e.g. ‘other (Market stock-specific sampling)’), it shall be described in Text Box 4A of this Annex.
               
            
                  Stratum ID code
               
               
                  Member State shall indicate a unique code to identify each stratum within the scheme. Free text or coding can be used, but it shall always coincide with the ‘stratum ID code’, as in Table 4B of this Annex. Strata with no coverage (i.e. no planned number of PSUs) shall also be detailed, in order to provide measurement on coverage of the sampling plan.
               
            
                  PSU type

                  Species/Stocks covered for estimation of volume and length of catch fractions
               
               
                  Member State shall indicate if the sampling plan covers all or only a part of the species. Insert ‘all species and stocks’, ‘only stocks in Table 1A, 1B and 1C’, ‘selected species/stocks’ and specify further in ‘Comments’.
               
            
                  Seasonality (Temporal strata)
               
               
                  Member State shall provide a keyword description of the sampling scheme in terms of temporal stratification: ‘monthly’, ‘quarterly’, ‘annual’, etc.

                  DEU, LVA, LTU, NLD, POL to cooperate in the biological data collection on pelagic fisheries in CECAF waters in 2014-2015 and 2016-2017 (new extension).
               
               
                  NL to coordinate the execution of this multi-lateral agreement. NL will contract independent contractor ‘Corten Marine Research’ (CMR) as agent between NL and IMROP, the Mauritanian Fisheries Research Institute. CMR will hire Mauritanian observers from IMROP to carry out the actual sampling. CMR and IMROP will have an agreement in which the mutual obligations will be formalized; among others that only the additional costs for this specific task will be priced.
               
               
                  Biological sampling carried on board fishing vessels in CECAF area by Mauritanian observers. Observers introduced by CMR and follow the sampling protocol as described in ‘Biological Data Collection of pelagic fisheries in CECAF waters in compliance with the DCF’, version 31-05-2011.
               
               
                  CMR is responsible for data collection, quality control and delivery to the CECAF pelagic working group of all data collected under this agreement. CMR also reports all data to CVO and CVO will distribute the data to the partners.
               
               
                  Each Partner ensures access to its fleet for Mauritanian observers under this agreement. Denied access to vessels does not exempt a Partner from legal or financial obligations.
               
               
                  This agreement commences on January 1, 2012. With exception of financial obligations, it ends on December 31, 2013. It is subject to dissolve prior to this date in case the pelagic fishery in the CECAF area by EU vessels closes. Eventual remaining contributions will be pro rata reimbursed to Partners. The agreement was extended to a new end date: 31 December 2015
