Legally size catches shall be recorded using the general code LSC.

Below minimum conservation reference size catches shall be recorded separately from the legally sized catches using the general code BMS.

Where catches are held in baskets, boxes, bins, cartons, sacks, bags, blocks or other containers, the net weight of the unit used shall be recorded in kilograms live weight, and the precise number of such units used shall be recorded.

Alternatively the catch kept on board in such units may be recorded in kilograms live weight (O).

In Baltic Sea (only for salmon) and in GFCM area (only for tunas, swordfish and highly migratory sharks) and, if applicable, in other areas, number of fish caught per day shall be also recorded.

If the number of columns is insufficient, a new page shall be used.

(15)(16) Estimates of discards (M)

FAO 3-alpha species codes shall be used .

The discard of each species shall be recorded in kilograms live weight equivalent.

Species not subject to the landing obligation :

ANNEX XVIU.K. METHODOLOGY FOR ESTABLISHING THE SAMPLING PLANS REFERRED TO IN ARTICLES 16(1) AND 25(1) OF THE CONTROL REGULATION

This Annex lays down the methodology on the basis of which Member States shall establish the sampling plans referred to in Articles 16(1) and 25(1) of the Control Regulation for vessels not subject to fishing logbook requirements and landing declaration requirements.

1.For the purpose of this Annex the following definitions shall apply:U.K.

(a) Active vessels

:

vessels referred to in Articles 16 and 25 of the Control Regulation that have been engaged in any fishing operation (more than 0 days) during a calendar year. A vessel that has not been engaged in fishing operations during a year shall be considered ‘inactive’.

(b) Metier

:

A group of fishing operations targeting a similar (assemblage of) species, using similar gear, during the same period of the year, and/or within the same area and which are characterised by similar exploitation patterns. The allocation to a metier is determined by the fishing activity in the previous year. If one vessel has been active in one metier more than 50 % of the year it is allocated to that metier. If the fishing activity is below 50 % for any metier the vessel should be allocated to a metier named polyvalent metier.

(c) Target population

:

landings of fisheries products from active vessels using different metiers.

2.The aim of the sampling plan shall be to monitor the activities of the vessels referred to in Articles 16 and 25 of the Control Regulation and to estimate their overall catch for any given stock and by metier during the period of sampling.U.K.

3.The sampling unit shall in principle be the metier. Each vessel concerned should be assigned to one metier only.U.K.

4.The target population shall comprise landings by metier from active vessels of length of less than 10 metres.U.K.

5.The size of the sample shall be determined on the basis of the risk of non-compliance with the rules of the Common Fisheries Policy for the metier in the Member State where the landing(s) take place. The size of the sample shall be representative of the metier concerned.U.K.

6.Member States shall define risk at the following levels: ‘very low’, ‘low’, ‘medium’, ‘high’ and ‘very high’.U.K.

7.In establishing the level of risk of non compliance with the rules of the Common Fisheries Policy, Member States shall take account of all relevant criteria. These shall include, but not be limited to:U.K.

  • levels of landings by the target population, involving all regulated stocks, distributed by metiers,

  • level of previously detected infringements for the vessel concerned,

  • total number of inspections carried out by metier,

  • availability of quota to those vessels of the target population, by metier,

  • use of standardized boxes.

If appropriate:

  • fluctuation of market price levels for the landed fisheries products,

  • background, and/or potential danger, of fraud link to port/location/region, and metier.

8.When drawing up the sampling plans, Member States shall take into account, the levels of metier activity during the sampling period.U.K.

9.Sampling intensity shall take into account the variability of the landings by the metier.U.K.

10.Where fisheries products are landed in standardized boxes, the minimum number boxes to be sampled shall be proportionate to the risk levels identified by Member States and as set out in the example below:U.K.

Number of boxes landed by speciesNumber of boxes to be weighed subject to risk level
Very LowLowMediumHighVery High
0-2511112
25-5012345
50-10013456
Every additional 10011234

11.Precision/confidence levels shall apply as are set out in Levels 2 and 3 in Point 4, Part B of Chapter II of Commission Decision 2010/93/EU(11).U.K.

12.The sampling plan shall also include information on how the overall catch for any given stock and by metier during the period of sampling will be estimated.U.K.

ANNEX XXIIU.K. METHODOLOGY FOR ESTABLISHING THE COMMON CONTROL PROGRAMME REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 61(2) OF THE CONTROL REGULATION

This Annex lays down the methodology for Member States to establish the common control programme to be applied when the Member State in which the fisheries products are landed, permit their transport before weighing to registered buyers, registered auctions or other bodies or persons responsible for the first marketing of fisheries products in another Member State, in accordance with Article 61(2) of the Control Regulation.

1.The aim of the common control programme shall be to minimise the risk of non-compliance with the rules of the Common Fisheries Policy when Member States in which the fisheries products are landed permit their transport before weighing to registered buyers, registered auctions or other bodies or persons responsible for the first marketing of fisheries products in another Member State.U.K.

2.The size of the sample shall be determined on the basis of the risk of non-compliance with the rules of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) associated with the transport before weighing in another Member State.U.K.

3.Member States shall define risk at the following levels ‘very low’, ‘low’, ‘medium’, ‘high’ and ‘very high’.U.K.

4.In establishing the level of risk of non compliance with the rules of the Common Fisheries Policy, Member States shall take account of all relevant criteria. These shall include, but not be limited to:U.K.

  • the levels of landings of fisheries products which are weighed after transport from the place of landing,

  • levels of previously detected infringements associated with landings of fisheries products weighed after transport from the place of landing,

  • known levels of transport controls in the Member State of landing, transit and destination,

  • availability of quota for those fishing vessels making landings which are weighed after transport from the place of landing,

  • use of standardized boxes by the vessels which are the provenance of the fisheries products.

As appropriate:

  • fluctuation of market price levels for the landed fisheries products,

  • risk of fraud at port/location/region,

  • fluctuations in the market price of those fisheries products which are weighed after transport from the place of landing,

  • risk of fraud at a port, or other location, or within a region where landings and/or weighing of such products take place.

5.Common control programmes shall include, but not be limited to.U.K.

  • A programme of inspections of fisheries products where they are transported from the places of landing for weighing at other destinations on the territory of another Member State.

  • Provisions regarding the availability of transport documents in accordance with Article 68 of the Control Regulation.

  • Provisions regarding the verification of details of fisheries products transported and which were submitted in accordance with Article 17 of the Control Regulation, by the master of the fishing vessel landing the fisheries products.

  • Provisions regarding the integrity and details of seals placed on vehicles or containers used to transport such fisheries products in accordance with Article 109 of this Regulation.

  • Provisions for cross checking the fishing logbook and transport document data against the records of weighing at the destination where they are weighed.

  • Sample weighing of the fisheries products, in the presence of officials of the competent authorities at the destination where weighing prior to first marketing takes place. Sample sizes shall be proportionate to the assessed levels of risk. Where appropriate, Member States may incorporate the use of standardized boxes into the sample weighing procedures.

6.Where fisheries products are held in standardized boxes, a number of boxes shall be sample weighed in the presence of officials of the competent authorities of the Member State. The number of boxes sample weighed shall be proportionate to the risk level assessed. Preferably, Member States shall indicate the number of boxes to be weighed by means of tables for the different risk levels, as in the example below:U.K.

Number of boxes landed by speciesNumber of boxes to be weighed subject to risk level
Very LowLowMediumHighVery High

ANNEX XXVIIIU.K. MARKING OF FISHERY INSPECTION MEANS

INSPECTION PENNANT OR SYMBOLU.K.

All vessels used for fisheries control inspection and enforcement shall carry the inspection pennant or symbol clearly displayed on the sides of the unit used in such a way to be clearly visible. Vessels engaged in these duties shall fly the inspection pennant as to be clearly visible at all times.

The words ‘FISHERY INSPECTION’ may also be affixed on the sides of units.

ANNEX XXIXU.K. CONSTRUCTION AND USE OF BOARDING LADDERS

1.The provisions of this Annex shall apply to safe and convenient access to fishing vessels which require a climb of 1,5 metres or more.U.K.

2.A boarding ladder shall be provided which shall be efficient for the purpose of enabling inspectors to embark and disembark safely at sea. The boarding ladder shall be kept clean and in good order.U.K.

3.The ladder shall be positioned and secured so that:U.K.

(a)

it is clear of any possible discharges from the fishing vessel;

(b)

it is clear of the finer lines and as far as practicable in the middle length of the fishing vessel;

(c)

each step rests firmly against the fishing vessel’s side.

4.The steps of the boarding ladder shall:U.K.

(a)

be of hardwood or other material of equivalent properties, made in one piece free of knots; the four lowest steps may be made of rubber of sufficient strength and stiffness, or of other suitable material of equivalent characteristics;

(b)

have an efficient non-slip surface;

(c)

be not less than 480 mm long, 115 mm wide, and 23 mm in thickness, excluding any non-slip device or grooving;

(d)

be equally spaced not less than 300 mm or more than 380 mm apart;

(e)

be secured in such a manner that they will remain horizontal.

5.No boarding ladder shall have more than two replacement steps which are secured in position by a method different from that used in the original construction of the ladder and any steps so secured shall be replaced, as soon as reasonably practicable, by steps secured in position by the method used in the original construction of the ladder.U.K.

When any replacement step is secured to the side ropes of the boarding ladder by means of grooves in the side of the step, such grooves shall be in the longer sides of the steps.

6.The side ropes of the ladder shall consist of two uncovered manila or equivalent ropes not less than 60 mm in circumference on each side; each rope shall be left uncovered by any other material and be continuous with no joints below the top step; two main ropes, properly secured to the fishing vessel and not loss than 65 mm in circumference, and a safety line shall be kept at hand ready for use if required.U.K.

7.Battens made of hardwood, or other material of equivalent properties, in one piece, free of knots and between 1,8 and 2 m long, shall be provided at such intervals as will prevent the boarding ladder form twisting. The lowest batten shall be on the fifth step from the bottom of the ladder and the interval between any batten and the next shall not exceed nine steps.U.K.

8.Means shall be provided to ensure safe and convenient passage for inspectors embarking on or disembarking from the vessel between the head of the boarding ladder or of any accommodation ladder or other appliance provided, and the ship’s deck. Where such passage is by means of a gateway in the rails or bulwark, adequate handholds shall be provided.U.K.

9.Where such passage is by means of a bulwark ladder, such ladder shall be securely attached to the bulwark rail or platform and two handhold stanchions shall be fitted at the point of boarding or leaving the vessel not less than 0,70 m or more than 0,80 m apart. Each stanchion shall be rigidly secured to the vessel’s structure at or near its base and also at a higher point, shall be not less than 40 mm in diameter, and shall extend not less than 1,20 m above the top of the bulwark.U.K.

10.Lighting shall be provided at night so that both the boarding ladder over the side and also the position where the inspector boards the fishing vessel shall be adequately lit. A lifebuoy equipped with a self-igniting light shall be kept at hand ready for use. A heaving line shall be kept at hand ready for use if required.U.K.

11.Means shall be provided to enable the boarding ladder to be used on either side of the fishing vessel. The inspector in charge may indicate which side he would like the boarding ladder to be positioned.U.K.

12.The rigging of the ladder and the embarkation and disembarkation of an inspector shall be supervised by a responsible officer of the fishing vessel.U.K.

13.Where on any fishing vessel constructional features such as rubbing bands would prevent the implementation of any of these provisions, special arrangements shall be made to ensure that inspectors are able to embark and disembark safely.U.K.
