Commission Decision

of 18 December 2009

adopting a multiannual Community programme for the collection, management and use of data in the fisheries sector for the period 2011-2013

(notified under document C(2009) 10121)

(2010/93/EU)

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 Policyf1, and in particular Article 3(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Pursuant to Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 199/2008, a multi-annual Community programme for the collection, management and use of data in the fisheries sector is to be drawn up for three-year periods. It is therefore necessary to establish the multiannual Community programme for the period 2011-2013.

(2)

The Communication from the Commission of 5 February 2009 on a European Community Action Plan for the Conservation and Management of Sharksf2 has recommended the collection of reliable and detailed species-specific quantitative and biological data concerning commercial fisheries involving catches of Chondrichthyans (hereinafter referred to as ‘sharks’). In addition, regular catch monitoring of recreational fisheries involving catches of shark species is suggested.

(3)

On the basis of that Communication, the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) has recommended that data concerning such commercial fisheries and recreational fisheries be included in the list of fishing activity by region and in the list of biological variables for which data are to be collected.

(4)

The multi-annual Community programme for the period 2011-2013 should therefore provide for the collection, management and use of data on sharks in addition to the data already required in the programming period 2009-2010 under Commission Decision 2008/949/ECf3.

(5)

For reasons of legal certainty, Decision 2008/949/EC should be repealed with effect from 1 January 2011.

(6)

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:

If a fishing gear is used by more than the sum of all the others (i.e. a vessel spends more than 50 % of its fishing time using that gear), the vessel shall be allocated to that segment. If not, the vessel shall be allocated to the following fleet segment:
