COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 1282/2009
of 22 December 2009
amending Regulation (EU) No 409/2009 on the establishment of Community conversion factors and presentation codes used to convert fish processed weight into fish live weight
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993, establishing a control system applicable to the Common Fishery Policy (1), and in particular Article 5 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 409/2009 (2), establishes Community conversion factors and presentation codes for the states of processing ‘fresh’ and ‘fresh salted’.
(2) Species subject to fishing quotas are landed mainly in the states of processing ‘fresh’, ‘fresh salted’ and ‘frozen’. Consequently there is a need to complement Regulation (EC) No 409/2009 with Community conversion factors for frozen fish, so that Community conversion factors are available for all relevant processing states.
(3) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1077/2008 (3) lays detailed rules for the implementation of the electronic record and transmission of logbook, landing declaration and transhipment data.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 409/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Fisheries and Aquaculture Committee.
