Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

1. For the purpose of verifying the engine power in accordance with Article 41 of the Control Regulation, a fisheries administration must establish a sampling plan for the identification of United Kingdom fishing vessels or groups of fishing vessels in its fleet with a risk of under-declaration of propulsion engine power. As a minimum, the sampling plan shall be based on following high risk criteria:
(a) fishing vessels operating in fisheries that are subject to fishing effort regimes, in particular those fishing vessels to which an individual effort allocation in kW*days has been allocated;
(b) fishing vessels subject to limitations of vessel power resulting from ... law;
(c) fishing vessels for which the ratio of vessel power (kW) to vessel tonnage (GT) is 50 % lower than the average ratio for the same type of fishing vessel, gear type and target species. For the purpose of that analysis, a fisheries administration may divide the fleet according to one or several of the following criteria:
(i)fleet segmentation or management units defined in national law;
(ii)length categories;
(iii)tonnage categories;
(iv)gears used;
