Whereas, with the creation of the European Economic Area (EEA), the management of the market in fishery products would be enhanced by the existence of harmonized statistics on the landings of fishery products in all countries of the EEA;
Whereas, in Annex XXI.25 to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, the member countries of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) have undertaken to submit to the Commission monthly data on the landings of fishery products in those countries  by Community and EFTA vessels and, on an optimal basis, by vessels of third countries, starting at the latest in January 1995;
Whereas the need for harmonized statistics requires that the data submitted by the Community Member States under the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1382/91 (3) should be extended to include submissions of data on landings by EFTA vessels and, on an  optional basis, by vessels of third countries;
Whereas the additional data required are generally already collected and processed by the competent authorities in Community Member States;
Whereas, in the course of implementing Regulation (EEC) No 1382/91, certain minor discrepancies have come to light in the identification of the products for which data are required and it is desirable in introduce a harmonized format for the submission  of data on magnetic media,
