Regulation (EU) No 640/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council
of 7 July 2010
establishing a catch documentation programme for bluefin tuna Thunnus thynnus and amending Council Regulation (EC) No 1984/2003
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and in particular Article 43(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee ,
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure ,
Whereas:
(1)
The Union is a Contracting Party to the United Nations Convention of 10 December 1982 on the Law of the Sea approved by Council Decision 98/392/EC , to the Agreement on the implementation of the provisions of that Convention relating to the conservation and management of straddling stocks and highly migratory fish stocks ratified by Council Decision 98/414/EC and to the Agreement to promote compliance with international conservation and management measures by fishing vessels on the high seas accepted by Council Decision 96/428/EC . In the framework of those international obligations, the Union participates in efforts made to ensure sustainable management of highly migratory fish stocks.
(2)
The Union is a Contracting Party to the International Convention for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas pursuant to Council Decision 86/238/EEC (ICCAT Convention). The ICCAT Convention provides for a framework for regional cooperation on the conservation and management of tuna and tuna-like species in the Atlantic Ocean and adjacent seas through an International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), and for the adoption of recommendations applicable in the ICCAT Convention area which become binding on the Contracting Parties, cooperating non-contracting Parties, entities and fishing entities (CPCs).
(3)
ICCAT Recommendations 1992-01, 1993-03, 1996-10, 1997-04, 1998-12, 03-19 and 06-15 and Resolutions 1993-02, 1994-04 and 1994-05 on a statistical document programme for bluefin tuna have been implemented by Council Regulation (EC) No 1984/2003 of 8 April 2003 introducing a system for the statistical monitoring of trade in bluefin tuna, swordfish and bigeye tuna within the Community .
(4)
As part of the measures to regulate stocks of bluefin tuna, to improve the quality and reliability of statistical data and in order to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal fishing, ICCAT adopted at its annual meeting in Recife (Brazil), on 15 November 2009, Recommendation 09-11 amending Recommendation 08-12 on an ICCAT bluefin tuna catch documentation programme. That Recommendation entered into force on 1 June 2010 and needs to be implemented by the Union.
(5)
In order to ensure that the provisions on an ICCAT bluefin tuna catch documentation programme are easily readable and applied uniformly, the relevant provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1984/2003 related to the ICCAT bluefin tuna statistical document and re-export certificate should be deleted. Therefore, Regulation (EC) No 1984/2003 should be amended accordingly.
(6)
The Commission should be empowered to adopt delegated acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union in respect of the transposition of new conservation measures adopted by ICCAT, thus updating and supplementing the Annexes to this Regulation. It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level,
HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

4
Where a fishing boat is required to land any bluefin tuna caught as by-catch, the prohibition on landing the fish without a bluefin tuna catch document in paragraph 1(a) and (b) does not apply where sale of the fish is prohibited and the fish is subject to confiscation on landing.
5
Where paragraph 1(a) applies to a fishing boat and the boat is also landing or transhipping tuna of the species Thunnus orientalis (“Pacific tuna”), the requirement for a completed and validated bluefin tuna catch document also applies to each Pacific tuna landed or transhipped.

2
Upon a request made under paragraph 1, the licensing authority must not validate the bluefin tuna catch document unless the authority is satisfied—

where appropriate following an inspection of the bluefin tuna landed, that all the information contained in the catch document has been established to be accurate;
b
that the total quantity of bluefin tuna covered by the validation request is within the United Kingdom’s catch quota and the catch quota for the fishing boat in question;

3
On each occasion where a person trades domestically or exports any quantity of bluefin tuna, the person must, subject to paragraphs 5 and 6, request validation of the bluefin tuna catch document applicable to the lot by the licensing authority of the fishing boat which completed the catch document or by the licensing authority for the area from which the person is trading or exporting the fish.

b
the relevant procedures specified by ICCAT to be followed in the event of technical problems with the electronic catch document system have been followed and the technical problem has not been resolved, and

5
A paper bluefin tuna catch document may be used for tuna of the species Thunnus orientalis (“Pacific tuna”) to comply with the requirement in Article 3(5).
6
A paper bluefin tuna catch document may be used for import from, or export to, another State that is not a contracting party, or a non-contracting cooperating party, to the International Convention for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas where the State in question does not have access to the electronic catch document system and it is not reasonably practicable in the circumstances to facilitate the use of an electronic bluefin tuna catch document through ICCAT.

If a
licensing authority
identifies a lot with no
bluefin tuna
catch document, it must notify its findings to

ICCAT BLUEFIN TUNA CATCH DOCUMENT MODEL
ANNEX IV

1.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES
(1)

Language
If a language other than an official ICCAT language (English, French and Spanish) is used in completing the catch document, the English translation must be attached to it.
(2)

Numbering
Each licensing authority must develop unique numbering systems for catch documents using their ISO 2-alpha country code in combination with a number consisting of at least eight digits, of which at least two digits should indicate the year of catch.
Example: FR-09-123456 (where FR stands for France)
In the case of split lots or processed products, copies of the original catch document must be numbered by supplementing the number of the original catch documents with a 2-digit number.
Example: FR-09-123456-01, FR-09-123456-02, FR-09-123456-03, etc.
The numbering must be sequential and preferably printed. The serial numbers of blank catch documents issued shall be recorded according to the name of the recipient.
(3)

Validation
The catch document model shall not be a substitute for the prior transfer authorisation or the caging authorisation.

NB: in cases where more than one domestic trade or export results from a single catch document, a copy of the original catch document must be validated by the relevant licensing authority of the domestic seller or exporter and must be used and accepted as an original catch document. Validation of the copy guarantees that it is a true copy and has been recorded by the authorities concerned. Without such validation, any catch document copy will be null and void.
NB: In cases of re-export, the RE-EXPORT CERTIFICATE must be used to track further movements, which must relate to the catch information of the original catch document via the original catch document number.
When bluefin tuna are caught by a catching vessel ...using the tagging system, then exported dead and re-exported, the catch document accompanying the RE-EXPORT CERTIFICATE does not have to be validated. However, the RE-EXPORT CERTIFICATE must be validated.
After import, a bluefin tuna may be divided into several pieces, which then may be subsequently exported. In this case, the the licensing authority must confirm that the re-exported piece is part of the original fish accompanied by the catch document.
