List of Economic variables

Variable group	Variable	Specification for the collection of data^f1	Unit	DefinitionStructural Business Statistics (SBS)Commission Regulation (EC) No 2700/98^f2	Guideline
Economic variables are to be collected on an annual basis at the C3 level (Appendix V) with the exception of those identified as transversal variables and collected at more disaggregated levels (as defined in the Appendix VIII) and periodicity.
OJ L 344, 18.12.1998, p. 49.
Includes direct payments, e.g., compensation for stopping fishing, refunds of fuel duty or similar lump sum compensation payments. Excludes social benefit payments, indirect subsidies, e.g., reduced duty on inputs such as fuel, investment subsidies.
Includes other income from use of the vessel, e.g., recreational fishing, tourism, oil rig duty, etc., also insurance payments for damage/loss of gear/vessel.
Including social security costs.
For example, the vessel owner’s own labour. Chosen methodology should be explained by the Member State in their National Programme.
Excluding lubrication oil. Broken down by type if possible (petrol, diesel, biofuel, etc.).
Gross costs of maintenance and repairs to vessel and gear.
ESA refers to European System of Accounts 1995 (EU Reg. 2223/96, EU Reg. 1267/2003. Eurostat ESA 1995 manual).
Includes all purchased inputs (goods and services) related to fishing effort and/or catch/landings.
Includes purchased inputs not related to effort and/or catch/landings (including leased equipment).
Estimated according to [the proposed PIM methodology in the capital valuation report of study No FISH/2005/03: ‘IREPA Onlus Co-ordinator, 2006. Evaluation of the capital value, investments and capital costs in the fisheries sector Study No FISH/2005/03, 203p.’]. The data and estimation procedures should be explained in the National Programme.
Value of the vessel, i.e., the hull, engine, all onboard equipment and the gear. Estimated according to [the proposed PIM methodology in the capital valuation report of study No FISH/2005/03 ‘IREPA Onlus Co-ordinator, 2006. Evaluation of the capital value, investments and capital costs in the fisheries sector Study No FISH/2005/03, 203p.’]. The data and estimation procedures should be explained in the National Programme.
Where appropriate. Methodology for estimation to be explained in the National Programme.
Improvements to existing vessel/gear during the given year.
% debt in relation to total capital value (as defined above).
Number of jobs on board, equal to the average number of persons working for and paid by the vessel. This includes temporary crew as well as rotation crew. [see report of Study FISH/2005/14, ‘LEI WAGENINGENUR Co-ordinator, 2006. Calculation of labour including full-time equivalent (FTE) in fisheries Study No FISH/2005/14, 142 p.’]
Full-time equivalent (FTE) based on the national reference level for FTE working hours of the crew members on board the vessel (excluding resting time) and the working hours onshore. If the annual working hours per crew member exceed the reference level, the FTE equals 1 per crew member. If not, the FTE equals the ratio between the hours worked and the reference level. [The methodology should be in accordance with the Study FISH/2005/14, ‘LEI WAGENINGENUR Co-ordinator, 2006. Calculation of labour including full-time equivalent (FTE) in fisheries Study No FISH/2005/14, 142 p.’ and amended by the SGECA 07-01 report (15-19 January 2007, Salerno, 21 p. +annexes) and should be explained in the national programmes.]
Full-time equivalent (FTE) based on a threshold of 2 000 hours per FTE using the same methodology referred to in note 18.
Situation at 1st of January as defined in the fleet register. Shared ownership (involving more than one person) should be regarded as one unit.
