  "text": "Specific inspection benchmarks\nObjective\n1.\nEach Member State shall set specific inspection benchmarks in accordance with this Annex.\nStrategy\n2.\nInspection and surveillance of fishing activities shall concentrate on vessels likely to catch cod. Random inspections of transport and marketing of cod shall be used as a complementary cross-checking mechanism to test the effectiveness of inspection and surveillance.\nPriorities\n3.\nDifferent gear types shall be subject to different levels of prioritisation, depending on the extent to which the fleets are affected by fishing opportunity limits. For that reason, each Member State shall set specific priorities.\nSampling\n4.\nEach Member State shall specify and describe which sampling strategy will be applied.\nThe Commission can have access on request to the sampling plan used by the Member State.\nTarget benchmarks\n5.\nBy 22 January 2007, each Member State shall implement its inspection schedules taking account of the targets set out below.\n(a) Level of inspection in ports\nAs a general rule, the accuracy to be achieved should be at least equivalent to what would be obtained by a simple random sampling method, where inspections shall cover 20 % by weight of cod landings covering all places of landing.\n(b) Level of inspection of marketing\nInspection of 5 % of the quantities of cod offered for sale at auction.\n(c) Level of inspection at sea\nFlexible benchmark: to be set after a detailed analysis of the fishing activity in each area. Benchmarks at sea shall refer the number of patrol days at sea in the cod management areas, possibly with a separate benchmark for days patrolling specific areas.\n(d) Level of aerial surveillance\nFlexible benchmark: to be set after a detailed analysis of the fishing activity conducted in each area and taking the available resources at the Member State’s disposal into consideration.",
