      of 5 January 2017
      amending Implementing Decision 2013/328/EU and Implementing Decision 2012/807/EU establishing specific control and inspection programmes for certain demersal and pelagic fisheries in the Union waters of the North Sea and in the Union waters of ICES Division IIa
      THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
      Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
      Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 of 20 November 2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the Common Fisheries Policy, amending Regulations (EC) No 847/96, (EC) No 2371/2002, (EC) No 811/2004, (EC) No 768/2005, (EC) No 2115/2005, (EC) No 2166/2005, (EC) No 388/2006, (EC) No 509/2007, (EC) No 676/2007, (EC) No 1098/2007, (EC) No 1300/2008, (EC) No 1342/2008 and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 2847/93, (EC) No 1627/94 and (EC) No 1966/2006, (1) and in particular Article 95 thereof,
      Whereas:
      
                  (1)
               
               
                  Commission Implementing Decision 2013/328/EU (2) establishes a specific control and inspection programme for fisheries exploiting cod, plaice and sole in the Kattegat, the North Sea, the Skagerrak, the eastern Channel, the waters west of Scotland and the Irish Sea.
               
            
                  (2)
               
               
                  Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) establishes a landing obligation for pelagic and demersal fisheries in order to reduce the current high levels of unwanted catches and to gradually eliminate discards. Details for the implementation of the landing obligation are laid down in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1395/2014 (4) and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2440 (5). Compliance with the landing obligation should be controlled and inspected.
               
            
                  (3)
               
               
                  In addition to the fisheries of sole, plaice and cod in the North Sea covered by Implementing Decision 2013/328/EU, which should continue to be covered by a specific control and inspection programme, the fisheries defined in the annex to the discard plans referred to in Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1395/2014 and Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2440 should also be included in the specific control and inspection programme in order to enable Member States concerned to undertake efficiently and effectively joint inspection and surveillance activities.
               
            
                  (4)
               
               
                  On the basis of the results of the Member States' risk assessment carried out in respect of each of the fisheries covered by the discard plans, the overall inspection benchmarks laid down by the present specific control and inspection programme have to be implemented by the Member States.
               
            
                  (5)
               
               
                  In order to take into account the regional specificities and the need to harmonise and increase the effectiveness of the control and inspection procedures, the present specific control and inspection programme covers the Union Waters of the North Sea as defined in Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 (ICES zone IIIa, i.e. including the Kattegat and the Skagerrak and ICES zone IV), as well as Union waters of ICES Division IIa.
               
            
                  (6)
               
               
                  The present specific control and inspection programme covers certain demersal species and fisheries in the Union waters of the North Sea and in Union waters of ICES Division IIa, and certain pelagic fisheries in the Union waters of the North Sea (ICES Area IIIa and IV) and in Union waters of ICES Division IIa. Commission Implementing Decision 2012/807/EU (6), as amended by Implementing Decision 2015/1944/EU (7), establishes a specific control and inspection programme for pelagic fisheries in the western waters of the north-east Atlantic and in the northern North Sea (ICES Area IVa). It is therefore appropriate to align the scope of Implementing Decision 2012/807/EU with the present Decision.
               
            
                  (7)
               
               
                  Council Regulation (EC) No 850/98 (8) and in particular Title IIIa thereof establishes measures to reduce discarding. The specific control and inspection programme should ensure compliance with the prohibition of highgrading, the moving-on provisions and the prohibition on slipping.
               
            
                  (8)
               
               
                  The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,

                  Procedures for risk assessment
                  1.   Member States concerned shall assess risks with regard to the stocks and area(s) listed in Article 1 according to the methodology established in cooperation with the European Fisheries Control Agency (EFCA).
                  2.   The risk assessment methodology referred to in paragraph 1 shall provide that the Member State concerned:

In the absence of information and unless its flag authorities provide, in the framework of Article 9, the results of their own risk assessment performed according to Article 4(2) and to paragraph 3 leading to a different risk level, it shall be considered as a “very high” risk level fishing vessel.’

                  ‘Article 5
                  Procedures for risk assessment
                  1.   Member States concerned shall assess risks with regard to the stocks and area(s) listed in Article 1 according to the methodology established in cooperation with the European Fisheries Control Agency (EFCA).
                  2.   The risk assessment methodology referred to in paragraph 1 shall provide that the Member State concerned:
                  
                              (a)
                           
                           
                              considers, on the basis of past experience and using all available and relevant information, how likely a non-compliance is to happen and, if it were to happen, the potential consequence(s);
                           
                        
                              (b)
                           
                           
                              establishes the level of risk — by fisheries and stocks, area covered, time of the year — based on occurrence (frequent, medium, seldom, not) and potential consequences (serious, significant, acceptable or marginal). The estimated risk level shall be expressed as “very low”, “low”, “medium”, “high” or “very high”.
                           
                        3.   Member States concerned shall establish and regularly update a list of their vessels indicating, at least the high and very high risk vessels. The up-to date list of vessels graded by risks shall be used during the relevant joint deployment plan campaigns.
                  4.   In cases where a fishing vessel flying the flag of a Member State which is not a Member State concerned, or a third country fishing vessel, operates in the area(s) referred to in Article 1, it shall be attributed a level of risk in accordance with paragraph 2. In the absence of information and unless its flag authorities provide, in the framework of Article 9, the results of their own risk assessment performed according to Article 4(2) and to paragraph 3 leading to a different risk level, it shall be considered as a “very high” risk level fishing vessel.’

                  Article 7(1) is replaced by the following:
                  ‘1.   In the framework of a joint deployment plan, where applicable, each Member State concerned shall communicate to the EFCA the results of its risk assessment carried out in accordance with Article 5(2) and, in particular, a list of estimated levels of risk with corresponding targets for inspection.’

      This Decision shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
