SECTION 1U.K.Multiannual F2... programmes

Article 5U.K.Content and criteria for the establishment of the multiannual F3... programme

1.The multiannual F4... programme shall establish:

(a)a detailed list of the data [F5to be collected for the purpose of contributing to the achievement of—

(i)the objectives set out in Article 25 of EU Regulation 1380/2013, and

(ii)the fisheries objectives];

(b)[F6requirements in relation to] research surveys at sea;

(c)thresholds below which it is not mandatory [F7to collect data based on fishing and aquaculture activities].

2.The data referred to in point (a) of paragraph 1 shall include:

(a)biological data on all stocks caught or by-caught in F8... commercial and, where appropriate, recreational fisheries in and outside [F9United Kingdom waters], including eels and salmon in relevant inland waters, as well as other diadromous fish species of commercial interest, to enable an ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management and conservation as necessary for the [F10regulation and management of fishing activities];

(b)data to assess the impact of [F11fisheries within United Kingdom waters] on the marine ecosystem in and outside [F12United Kingdom waters], including data on by-catch of non-target species, in particular species protected under [F13any law applying in the United Kingdom or any part of it] or international law, data on impacts of fisheries on marine habitats, including vulnerable marine areas, and data on impacts of fisheries on food webs;

(c)data on the activity of [F14United Kingdom fishing vessels] in and outside [F15United Kingdom waters], including levels of fishing, and on effort and capacity of the [F16United Kingdom fleet];

(d)socioeconomic data on fisheries to enable the socioeconomic performance of the [F17United Kingdom] fisheries sector to be assessed;

(e)socioeconomic data and sustainability data on marine aquaculture to enable the socioeconomic performance and the sustainability of the [F18United Kingdom] aquaculture sector, including its environmental impact, to be assessed;

(f)socioeconomic data on the fish processing sector to enable the socioeconomic performance of that sector to be assessed.

3.In addition, the data referred to in point (a) of paragraph 1 may include socioeconomic data and sustainability data on freshwater aquaculture to enable the socioeconomic performance and the sustainability of the [F19United Kingdom] aquaculture sector, including its environmental impact, to be assessed.

4.For the purpose of establishing the multiannual F20... programme, [F21a fisheries administration must] take into account:

(a)the information needs for the management and efficient [F22regulation of fishing activities], with a view to [F23contributing to the achievement of the fisheries objectives]F24...;

(b)the need for data that are relevant, comprehensive and reliable for the purpose of decisions on fisheries management and protection of ecosystems including vulnerable species and habitats;

(c)the need for and relevance of data for the sustainable development of aquaculture F25..., taking account of the predominantly local character of its impacts;

(d)the need to support impact assessments of policy measures;

(e)costs and benefits, taking account of the most cost-effective solutions to achieve the objective of data collection;

(f)the need to avoid disruption of existing time-series;

(g)the need for simplification and to avoid duplication of data collection, in accordance with Article 1;

(h)where relevant, the need for data to cover data-deficient fisheries;

F26(i). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(j)the international obligations of the [F27United Kingdom];

(k)spatial and temporal coverage of the data collection activities.

5.The [F28requirements in relation to] research surveys at sea referred to in point (b) of paragraph 1 shall be drawn up taking into account the following requirements:

(a)information needs for the [F29regulation and management of fishing activities], with a view to [F30contributing to the achievement of the fisheries objectives];

(b)information needs arising from internationally agreed coordination and harmonisation;

(c)information needs for the evaluation of management plans;

(d)information needs for the monitoring of ecosystems variables;

(e)information needs for an adequate coverage of stock areas;

(f)the need to avoid duplication between research surveys at sea; and

(g)the need to avoid disruption of time-series.
