COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1639/2001

of 25 July 2001

establishing the minimum and extended Community programmes for the collection of data in the fisheries sector and laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1543/2000

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1543/2000, of 29 June 2000 establishing a Community framework for the collection and management of the fisheries data needed to conduct the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Articles 5(1) and 8(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Regulation (EC) No 1543/2000 establishes a Community framework for the collection and management of data needed to evaluate the situation of the fishery resources and the fisheries sector. To this end, it stipulates that Member States set up national programmes for the collection and management of fisheries data in accordance with Community programmes.

(2)

It is therefore necessary to establish a minimum Community programme covering the information strictly necessary for the scientific evaluations and to establish an extended Community programme which also includes information likely to improve in a decisive way the scientific evaluations.

(3)

The information required for each programme should be collected in the form of evaluation modules covering fishing capacities and fishing effort, catches and, finally, the economic situation of the sector.

(4)

The Member States' programmes for the collection of data for scientific evaluations should be compatible with the collection of data for the management of other aspects of the common fisheries policy and with the collection of data pursuant to the Member States' obligations to the Community's statistical programme.

(5)

Rules relating to the transmission of, and access to, the data, including with regard to confidentiality, as well as rules relating to technical modifications and exemptions to the Community programmes, should be set out. Procedures related to the monitoring of the national programmes should also be established.

(6)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

ANNEX

CHAPTER I

CONTENTS AND METHODOLOGY

A.   Contents of the Community programmes

1.

The minimum Community programme referred to in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1543/2000 comprises the following modules:

(a)

module of evaluation of inputs: fishing capacities and fishing effort;

(b)

module of evaluation and of sampling of the catches and landings;

(c)

module of evaluation of the economic situation of the sector.

2.

The extended Community programme referred to in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1543/2000 comprises the modules referred to in point 1 as well as additional information which is specified for each module.

3.

For each module the parameters to be monitored, the disaggregation levels and the precision levels to be attained are specified for the minimum programme. For the extended programmes for which the precision levels are not fixed, each Member State must indicate in its national programme the precision levels it is aiming at, and the cost-precision relationship associated to the estimation procedures which will be used.

B.   Precision levels and sampling intensities

1.

When it is not possible to define quantitative targets for sampling programmes, neither in terms of precision levels, nor in terms of sample size, pilot surveys in the statistical sense will be established. Such pilot surveys must evaluate the importance of the problem and should also address the utility of more detailed surveys later on, and the cost-effectiveness relationship of such detailed surveys.

2.

When quantitative targets can be defined, they can be specified either directly by sample sizes or sampling rates, or by the definition of the levels of precision and of confidence to be achieved.

3.

When reference is made to a sample size or to a sampling rate in a population defined in statistical terms, the sampling strategies must be at least as efficient as simple random sampling. Such sampling strategies must be described within the corresponding national programmes.

4.

When reference is made to precision/confidence level, the following distinction is established:

(a)

level 1: level making it possible to estimate a parameter with precision of plus or minus 25 % for a 95 % confidence level;

(b)

level 2: level making it possible to estimate a parameter with precision of plus or minus 10 % for a 95 % confidence level;

(c)

level 3: level making it possible to estimate a parameter with precision of plus or minus 5 % for a 95 % confidence level.

CHAPTER II

MODULE OF EVALUATION OF INPUTS: FISHING CAPACITIES AND FISHING EFFORT

C.   Collection of data concerning fishing capacities

1.

For the minimum programme, data must be collected in order to assess, for each segment as defined later, the number of vessels that are attached to it and the average value per vessel of the parameters defined in point (a).

(a)   Parameters:

the data collected must include all fishing vessels covered by multi-annual guidance programme (MAGP) IV:

the tonnage (gross tonnage),

the maximum continuous engine power actually developed by the main engine, after derating if appropriate, expressed in kW as defined in Council Regulation (EC) No 2930/86 (1),

the age of the vessel calculated on the basis of the age of the hull.

(b)   Disaggregation levels:

data must be gathered in a way which makes it possible to individualise the segments defined in Appendix III,

data must be updated annually.

(c)   Precision levels:

data arising from Regulation (EC) No 2090/98 must be gathered exhaustively. For the other types of data mentioned in point (1)(a), sampling programmes can be drawn up to allow estimates attaining level 3 precision as defined in section B.

2.

Extended programme

(a)   Complementary parameters include:

the maximum continuous power of the main engine before derating,

the maximum overall power of the auxiliary engine(s) used for hoists and winches for the vessels with an overall length of more than 12 meters,

the characteristics of a standard fishing gear associated with each fishing technique, including the dimensions and the insured value of this standard gear,

the average number per vessel of the fishing gears associated with the various types of fishing techniques.

(b)   Disaggregation levels:

segments to be considered are defined in Appendix IV,

types of fishing techniques to be considered are also defined in Appendix IV.

D.   Collection of data related to fishing effort

1.

At the minimum programme level, data must be collected in the following way:

(a)   Parameters:

(i)

fuel consumption (2);

(ii)

fishing efforts by type of technique: they are measured by the weighted sum of the fishing days associated with an area and with a specific period:

each day is weighted by a measuring unit related to the nominal fishing power of each vessel; these units being defined in Appendix V,

a day at sea is regarded as a calendar day of fishing if at least one fishing operation has been carried out by a fishing vessel on that day, or if a passive fishing gear has been left at sea during this day,

each day is attributed to the area where the first fishing operation took place within this day. However, for passive gears, if no operation took place from the vessel within a day while at least one (passive) gear remained at sea, this day will be associated to the area where the last setting of a fishing gear was carried out on that fishing trip;

(iii)

specific fishing efforts: they are associated with stocks of special interest. They are defined as effort by technique, but the only days to be taken into account are those where the catches kept on board of the stocks mentioned in Appendix VI exceed the thresholds referred to in that Appendix.

for specific stocks additional measuring units apart from those defined in Appendix V, may be used on condition that they comply with the specifications established by the regional fisheries organisations involved in the assessment of these stocks.

(b)   Disaggregation levels:

(i)

as regards fuel consumption, data expressed in volume and cost must be gathered in a way which makes it possible to estimate the average fuel consumption per vessel within each segment as defined in Appendix III, on an annual basis (3);

(ii)

for fishing effort by technique, data must be collected by types of techniques defined in Appendix VIII, on a quarterly basis and, according to level 3 of geographical disaggregation defined in Appendix I;

In addition to the overall effort, the contribution of each segment defined in Appendix III shall be individualised (effort by technique and by segment) (4);

(iii)

at the level of specific fishing efforts, data will be collected as for efforts by technique: by separating types of fishing techniques specified in Appendix VIII, on a quarterly basis, and according to level 3 of geographical disaggregation defined in Appendix I.

(c)   Precision levels:

the data corresponding to the provisions of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2807/83 (5) (defining the special procedures of recording of information concerning fish landings by the Member States) must be collected in an exhaustive way. When other data are necessary, they are collected according to sampling procedures making it possible to reach for the estimated averages by segment, the level of precision 2 for data concerning fuel consumption, the level of precision 2 for fishing effort by technique, the level of precision 1 for specific fishing effort. Pilot surveys may be conducted for fishing effort of passive gears.

2.

Extended programme

(a)   Complementary parameters:

for the efforts by technique and specific efforts referred to in point 1(a)(ii) and (iii):

other measuring units than those defined in Appendix V, can be used on condition that they are detailed and justified in the national programmes,

stocks and/or thresholds other than those defined in Appendix VI can be taken into consideration to define specific effort,

in addition, for fishing gear other than traps, pots and pond nets, fishing efforts could be measured by operation. In such cases, basic units will refer to fishing operations and not to fishing days. Each operation will correspond to a contribution to the thus defined fishing effort by following the rules defined in Appendix IX. Other rules than those indicated in that Appendix could also be used in as far as they are fully described and justified,

data on fishing effort of traps, pots and pond nets can be collected as number of gears at sea, multiplied by time (number of days of each gear at sea on an annual basis).

(b)   Disaggregation levels:

(i)

fuel consumption data can be gathered in a way which makes it possible to estimate the average fuel consumption per vessel within each segment defined in Appendix IV, on a quarterly basis;

(ii)

as regards to the fishing effort by technique and the specific fishing effort:

effort data can be individualised according to the types of fishing techniques referred to in Appendix X; more detailed typology can be used as long as the usefulness is described and justified in the national programme,

effort data by segment can be gathered with reference to the segments defined in Appendix IV,

effort data can be gathered on a monthly basis, and referring to the level of geographical disaggregation 4 of Appendix I; for the stocks mentioned in Appendix VII specific effort data can be gathered by separating the ranges of depth specified in that Appendix.

CHAPTER III

MODULE OF EVALUATION OF THE CATCHES AND LANDINGS

E.   Collection of data related to catches and landings

1.

At the minimum programme level, data must be gathered in the following way.

(a)   Parameters:

data collection must make it possible to assess:

commercial landings for all stocks, and

for stocks mentioned in Appendix XII, total catches, landings and discards, and

catches from recreational and game fisheries in marine waters for stocks mentioned in Appendix XI,

each Member State must describe the conversion factors it has applied.

(b)   Disaggregation levels:

for each Member State, an estimate of overall annual commercial landings will be provided by species, distinguishing the geographical origin of the catches according to level 2 of geographical disaggregation of Appendix I. However, if grouping of several species is considered to be more appropriate, Member States can obtain a derogation from the Commission, provided this is fully justified,

for the stocks mentioned in Appendix XII, commercial landings will be disaggregated as indicated in that Appendix,

landings by weight and value of each segment identified in Appendix III must be individualised by species, by quarter and, as regards the geographical origin of the catches, at the level of geographical disaggregation 2 according to Appendix I (6),

discards will be monitored for the stocks in Appendix XII in order to estimate the average volume of the annual catches by weight per three-year period, by type of technique defined in Appendix III, except for the stocks for which Appendix XII specifies another disaggregation rule,

a pilot survey, as defined in section B, needs to be implemented for recreational and game fisheries mentioned in Appendix XI, taking into account the disaggregation level specified within the same Appendix.

(c)   Precision level:

the assessment of commercial landings must be made on the basis of the exhaustive data gathered under Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 (7) and on the basis of Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 (8) and for the data not covered by these Regulations by sampling and statistical procedures, in such a way that the estimates achieve a precision of level 3 for stocks subject to TAC and quota regulations, level 2 for stocks not subject to TACs and quotas listed within Appendix XII, and level 1 for the other cases,

data related to annual estimates of discards for stocks mentioned in Appendix XII must lead to a precision of level 1. However, if Member States can not reach this level of precision or only at excessive costs, they can obtain a derogation from the Commission to reduce the precision level, sampling frequency or to implement a pilot survey provided this request is fully documented,

discards related to other stocks than those for which Appendix XII states a yearly estimate must be covered by pilot surveys. The conclusions of these studies must be forwarded to the Commission by 31 October 2003 at the latest,

catches from recreational and game fisheries mentioned in Appendix XI must be subject to pilot surveys. The conclusions of these surveys must be forwarded to the Commission by 31 October 2003 at the latest.

(d)   In accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93, Member States shall take necessary measures to ensure the registration of all relevant data according to Article 9 of that Regulation.

In addition, Member States will, when appropriate, cooperate with other Member States to obtain comprehensive data covering the landings of vessels flying their flag.

2.

Extended programme

(a)   Complementary parameters:

landings from stocks mentioned in Appendix XIII,

catches from game and recreational fisheries for stocks other than those mentioned in Appendix XI,

for salmon, the catches taken in estuaries, lakes and rivers in the geographical area of the Baltic Sea and the North Sea.

(b)   Disaggregation level:

data concerning the commercial landings of the stocks mentioned in Appendix XII can be disaggregated in accordance with the provisions defined in that Appendix for the extended programme. Complementary geographical stratification, according to depth or another criterion, can be made, in as far as this stratification is consistent with section D, point (2)(b)(ii), third indent, and that the corresponding national programme justifies its usefulness,

data concerning the stocks mentioned in Appendix XIII can be collected on a quarterly basis, by separating the catches according to the types of techniques defined in Appendix III, and by the geographical level 3 areas according to Appendix I. For stocks mentioned in Appendix VII, data can be further separated according to the ranges of depth defined in that Appendix,

catch data can be collected by segment as defined in Appendix IV or Appendix X,

discards data can be collected under the extended programme:

on a quarterly basis, by type of technique according to Appendix III and according to the geographical level 3 of Appendix I, for the stocks where Appendix XII mentions an annual evaluation of discards within the minimum programme,

on an annual basis, with possible separation of the types of fishing technique according to Appendix III, without geographical disaggregation, for the stocks where Appendix XII does not require an annual estimate of discards within the minimum programme,

on an annual basis, with no other disaggregation for the stocks mentioned in Appendix XIII.

F.   Collection of data concerning the catches per unit of effort and/or effective effort of specific commercial fleets

1.

At the minimum programme level, data must be collected in the following way:

each national programme includes a review of the utility of the detailed catch and effort data from fishing vessels flying their flag, which have been used during the years 1995 to 2000 by scientific assessments working groups. This review will analyse the weight given in the final stock assessment to the corresponding abundance or partial fishing effort indices, the possibility prolonging the corresponding times series on the basis of disaggregated catch and effort figures as mentioned respectively in sections D and E, as well as the possible necessity to refer to even more detailed data. Each Member State will forward the corresponding conclusions to the Commission by 31 December 2002 at the latest. The Commission will submit to the STECF the results of these analyses, and fix the contents of the minimum programme for this section by 31 March 2003 at the latest.

2.

Extended programme level:

any study covering the definition of indexes of abundance or of effective effort on the basis of detailed catch and effort data coming from the commercial fleets is eligible under the extended programme. The potential usefulness of these indexes should be established by the national programme. These studies will be submitted to the STECF. If the opinion of the STECF does not confirm the usefulness of these indexes, the corresponding study will not be considered eligible from there on.

G.   Eligibility of the scientific evaluation surveys of stocks

1.

Minimum programme level:

(i)

All surveys mentioned by Appendix XIV with priority 1, must be covered;

(ii)

Member States must guarantee within their national programmes continuity with previous survey designs;

(iii)

Notwithstanding points (i) and (ii), Member States may propose a modification in the survey effort or sampling design, provided that this will not negatively affect the quality of the results.

2.

At the extended programme level all surveys indicated with priority 2 in Appendix XIV are eligible.

H.   Biological sampling of catches: composition by age and by length

1.

At the minimum programme level, data must be collected in the following way.

(a)   Parameters:

biological sampling must be performed in order to evaluate the composition in length and where appropriate in age, of the landings for all the stocks specified in Appendix XV.

(b)   Disaggregation and precision levels:

the necessary disaggregation levels are specified in Appendix XV as well as the basic stratification and the sampling intensities. However, Member States can apply another sampling strategy than that corresponding to the basic stratification with simple random sampling within strata defined in Appendix XV, and other sampling intensities than those defined in Appendix XV, providing this alternative approach achieves the same or a higher precision level at the same or at a lower cost, and that this is established by the corresponding national programme.

(c)   Sampling programme implementation:

the Member State on whose territory landings take place are responsible for installing sampling programmes according to the standards defined in this article. If necessary, Member States will co-operate with the authorities of third countries to set up the biological sampling of the landings carried out by vessels flying these third countries flag.

In accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93, each Member State takes the necessary measures to ensure the gathering of all data concerning the activities of the vessels which fly its flag whatever their places of landings.

(d)   Exemptions concerning the sampling rules:

lengths:

(1)

the national programme of a Member State can exclude the estimation of the length distribution of the landings for stocks for which TACs and quotas have been defined under the following conditions:

(i)

the relevant quotas must correspond to less than 5 % of the Community share of the TAC or to less than 100 tonnes on average during the previous three years;

(ii)

the sum of all quotas of Member States whose allocation is less than 5 %, must account for less than 15 % of the Community share of the TAC.

If the condition set out in point (i) is fulfilled, but not the condition set out in point (ii), the relevant Member States may set up a coordinated programme to achieve for their overall landings the implementation of the sampling scheme described in Appendix XV, or another sampling scheme, leading to the same precision.

If appropriate, the national programme may be adjusted until 31 January of every year to take into account the exchange of quotas between Member States;

(2)

for stocks for which TACs and quotas have not been defined and outside the Mediterranean area, the same rules apply on the basis of the average landings of the previous three years and with reference to the total Community landings from a stock;

(3)

for the stocks in the Mediterranean area, the landings by weight of a Mediterranean Member State for a species corresponding to less than 5 % of the total national landings from the Mediterranean area, or to less than 200 tonne, except for bluefin tuna.

ages:

(1)

the national programme of a Member State can exclude the estimation of the age distribution of the landings for stocks for which TACs and quotas have been defined under the following conditions:

(i)

the relevant quotas correspond to less than 10 % of the Community share of the TAC or to less than 200 tonnes on average during the previous three years;

(ii)

the sum of all quotas of Member States whose allocation is less than 10 %, accounts for less than 25 % of the Community share of the TAC.

If the condition set out in point (i) is fulfilled, but not the condition set out in point (ii), the relevant Member States may set up a coordinated programme to achieve for their overall landings the implementation of the sampling scheme described in Appendix XV, or another sampling scheme, leading to the same precision.

If appropriate, the national programme may be adjusted adjusted until 31 January of every year to take into account the exchange of quotas between Member States;

(2)

for stocks for which TACs and quotas have not been defined and outside the Mediterranean area, the same rules apply on the basis of the average landings of the previous three years and with reference to the total Community landings from a stock;

(3)

for the stocks in the Mediterranean area, the landings by weight of a Mediterranean Member State for a species corresponding to less than 5 % of the total national landings from the Mediterranean area, or to less than 200 tonnes, except for bluefin tuna;

(4)

Whenever possible, age-reading should be performed on commercial catches. If this is not the case, Member States should specify it within their national programme.

Others:

if cooperation between Member States guarantees that the overall estimate of the parameters under point (a) reach the necessary precision level, each concerned Member State is not held individually to guarantee that its own data are enough to reach this precision level.

(e)   Discards

Discards must be the subject of an estimation of the distribution of the lengths when they represent on an annual basis, either more than 10 % of the total catches by weight or more than 20 % of the catches in numbers for the stocks for which annual discard data must be collected as specified in Appendix XII and according to the rules defined in that Appendix for commercial landings.

The sampling intensities are those as defined in Appendix XV for commercial landings.

When discards take place for length ranges which are not represented in the landings, age-reading must take place in accordance with the rules set out in Appendix XV.

However, if Member States can not reach this level of precision or only at excessive costs, they can obtain a derogation from the Commission provided this request is fully documented.

(f)   Recreational and game fisheries

For the stocks specified in Appendix XI, Member States must set up pilot surveys consistent with the level of disaggregation defined in that Appendix. These surveys must make it possible to establish the levels of precision required for the future. The conclusions of these surveys must be forwarded to the Commission by 31 October 2003 at the latest.

2.

Extended programme:

complementary parameters:

all the sampling programmes for the estimation of the composition by age or length of the landings and specified Appendix XV,

the sampling programmes for the estimation of the annual composition in lengths of landings for the stocks specified in Appendix XIII,

the sampling programme for the estimation of the annual composition in lengths of the discards for stocks specified in Appendix XII and Appendix XV.

I.   Other biological samplings

(1)

At the minimum programme level, data must be collected in the following way.

(a)   Parameters

(i)

The growth curves by length and by weight, the relations between age/length and maturity, and the relation between age/length and fecundity must be provided for all stocks mentioned in Appendix XVI, including for those not subject to an annual estimation of the age composition of the catches.

(ii)

Biological sampling programmes of the landings must be implemented to estimate the share of the various stocks in these landings for: herring in the Skagerrak, Kattegat, and eastern North Sea separately, wild and reared salmon in the Baltic Sea, the various species of skates and rays in areas IV and VIId.

(iii)

Member States should perform their sampling scheme for sex ratio from their commercial catches. However, in cases in which this task is impossible, samples obtained during scientific surveys may be used.

(b)   Disaggregation level

For parameters referred to in point (a)(i):

definitions are provided by stock according to the periodicity defined in Appendix XVI. The validity of existing data used for biological parameters estimation must be checked every three to six years as defined in Appendix XVI. Member States must update these parameters if needed,

for the Norway lobster (Nephrops), Greenland halibut, deep sea shrimps (Pandalus borealis), plaice, sole and hake, the growth curves and maturity ogives are established separately for males and for females.

For parameters referred to in point (a)(ii):

data should be provided quarterly and following the fishing techniques typology described in Appendix IV.

(c)   Precision levels

(i)

For growth curves:

for stocks for which ages of individual fish can be read, average weights and lengths for each age must be estimated with a precision of level 3, up to an age such that cumulated landings for the corresponding ages account for at least 95 % of the national landings for the relevant stock,

for stocks for which age reading is not possible, but for which a growth curve can be estimated, average weights and lengths for each age must be estimated with a precision of level 2, up to an age such that cumulated landings for the corresponding ages account for at least 90 % of the national landings, for the relevant stock.

(ii)

For maturity, fecundity and sex ratios, a choice can be made between reference to age or length, provided that Members States which have to conduct the corresponding biological sampling have agreed the following:

for maturity and fecundity, precision of level 3 must be achieved within the age and/or length range, the limits of which correspond to a 20 % and 90 % of mature fish,

for sex ratio, precision of level 3 must be achieved, up to and age or length such that cumulated landings for the corresponding ages or lengths account for at least 95 % of the national landings for this stock.

(iii)

Stocks and species compositions of the catches referred to in point (a)(ii) must be estimated with level 1 precision.

(d)   Exemptions

(1)

The national programme of a Member State can exclude the estimation of the biological parameters for stocks for which TACs and quotas have been defined under the following conditions:

(i)

the relevant quotas correspond to less than 10 % of the Community share of the TAC or to less than 200 tonnes on average during the previous three years;

(ii)

the sum of all quotas of Member States whose allocation is less than 5 %, accounts for less than 20 % of the Community share of the TAC.

If appropriate, the national programme can be adjusted until 1 February of every year to take into account the exchange of quotas between Member States.

(2)

For stocks for which TACs and quotas have not been defined, the same rules apply on the basis of the average landings of the previous three years and with reference to the total Community landings.

If cooperation between the Member States guarantees that the overall estimates of all parameters set out in point (a)(i) reach the necessary precision levels, a Member State concerned is not held individually to guarantee that its own data is enough to reach this precision level.

2.

At the extended programme level

Complementary parameters:

for the stocks mentioned in Appendix XVI, an annual updating and discrimination by sex will be eligible,

for stocks not mentioned in Appendix XVI, but mentioned in Appendix XV and for which length data have been collected, growth, maturity and sex ratio data will be eligible every three years,

the growth and maturity curves for the species mentioned in Appendix XIII are eligible, but the updating of the data will not be performed more frequently than every three years,

for the groups of species mentioned in Appendix XII or XIII, sampling programmes of the catches to establish the species composition will be eligible every three years.

CHAPTER IV

MODULE OF EVALUATION OF THE ECONOMIC SITUATION OF THE SECTOR

J.   Collection of economic data by groups of vessels

1.

At the minimum programme level, data must be gathered in the following way.

(a)   Parameters:

data must be collected to cover all the parameters mentioned in Appendix XVII according to the segmentation set out in Appendix III,

investment must be measured in order to estimate the overall value of assets, including the capital value of the leased equipment. Insured values must be preferred. If the collection of the insured value proves too difficult, the replacement value of the vessel can be gathered by default. In such a case, the need for this substitution must be shown in the national programme,

within production costs, labour costs must cover all expenditures paid by employers, including social security, health insurance, retirements and other related taxes.

(b)   Disaggregation levels:

each parameter is estimated for each group of vessels as defined in Appendix III,

in accordance with the specifications of Annex IV of Regulation (EC) No 1543/2000, data concerning prices are gathered on an annual basis, while distinguishing for the fleets performing in the Mediterranean the catches coming from the various geographical areas mentioned in Appendix I, level 3.

(c)   Precision levels:

for each parameter and for each segment, level 1 precision must be achieved.

2.

Extended programme level

(a)   Complementary parameters:

the extended programme covers all the data defined in Appendix XVIII.

(b)   Disaggregation levels:

the partition of the groups of vessels referred to in point (1)(a), first indent, may be carried up to the level defined in Appendix IV and regarding the regional differentiation of level 2 of Appendix I.

K.   Collection of data concerning the processing industry

1.

At the minimum programme level

Member States should conduct pilot surveys in order to assess the annual value per sector of the parameters listed in Appendix XIX; these pilot surveys must compare the cost-efficiency relationship of different data collection strategies, including sampling schemes. The conclusions of these surveys must be forwarded to the Commission by 31 October 2003 at the latest.

2.

Extended programme level

(a)   Complementary parameters

Activities of collecting and managing the data shall make it possible:

(i)

to appreciate the overall sensitivity of the sector and/or of the companies located in the coastal regions (nomenclature of territorial units for statistical purposes, NUTS 3) with respect to the catches from the stocks subject to TACs and quotas and/or affected by other measures connected with the conservation of fishery resources, or with respect to the catches from outside of Community waters;

(ii)

to assess the impact, including the social and the economic impact, on the processing industry of measures taken on behalf of the CFP such as measures envisaged by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3759/92 (9), Council Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999 (10), and specific measures adopted for the fisheries and aquaculture sector of the most remote regions (programme of options specific to remoteness and to insularity, POSEI).

(b)   Disaggregation levels

The analysis of the companies of the sector may take into account the establishment of these companies in various regions, coastal or not, at the NUTS 3 level.

(c)

As regards ageing, in cases where the sampling scheme as given in this Appendix is excessive, the following rule applies.

For stocks for which age reading is possible, 40 individuals must be aged per year within each length interval. However, this number can be reduced if Member States establish that such a reduction will not affect the quality of the age composition estimate.
