REGULATION (EC) No 762/2008 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 9 July 2008
on the submission by Member States of statistics on aquaculture and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 788/96
(Text with EEA relevance)
Article 1
Obligations of the Member States
Member States shall submit to the Commission statistics on all the aquaculture activities conducted in freshwater and saltwaters on their territory.
Article 2
Definitions
For the purpose of this Regulation, the following definitions shall apply:
‘Community statistics’ as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 322/97;
‘aquaculture’ as defined in Article 3(d) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006 of 27 July 2006 on the European Fisheries Fund ( 6 );
‘capture-based aquaculture’ means the practice of collecting specimens from the wild and their subsequent use in aquaculture;
‘production’ means the output from aquaculture at first sale, including production from hatcheries and nurseries offered for sale.
Article 3
Compilation of statistics
Article 4
Data
The data shall relate to the reference calendar year and shall cover:
the annual production (volume and unit value) of aquaculture;
the annual input (volume and unit value) to capture-based aquaculture;
the annual production of hatcheries and nurseries;
the structure of the aquaculture sector.
Article 5
Submission of data
Article 6
Quality assessment
Article 7
Transitional period
Article 8
Derogations
Article 9
Technical provisions
Those delegated acts shall be adopted only where they are necessary in order to take account of economic and technical developments, they do not change the optional nature of required information and they do not impose a significant additional burden on Member States or on the respondents.
The Commission shall duly justify the statistical actions provided for in those delegated acts, using, where appropriate, input from relevant experts based on a cost-effectiveness analysis, including an assessment of the burden on the respondents and of the production costs, as referred to in point (c) of Article 14(3) of Regulation (EC) No 223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 7 ).
Article 9a
Exercise of the delegation
Article 10
Committee procedure
Article 11
Evaluation report
By 31 December 2011 and every three years thereafter, the Commission shall submit an evaluation report to the European Parliament and to the Council on the statistics compiled pursuant to this Regulation and, in particular, on their relevance and quality.
This report shall also undertake a cost-effectiveness analysis of the system introduced to collect and draw up the statistics and shall indicate best practices to lessen the workload for Member States and enhance the usefulness and quality of the data.
Article 12
Repeal
Article 13
Entry into force
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 January 2009.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
ANNEX I
Definitions to be used in submission of aquaculture data
1. ‘Freshwater’ means water which has a constantly negligible salinity.
2. ‘Saltwater’ means water where the salinity is appreciable. This may be water where the salinity is constantly high (e.g. seawater) or where the salinity is appreciable but not at a constantly high level (e.g. brackish water): the salinity may be subject to periodic variation due to the influx of fresh or seawaters.
3. ‘Species’ means the species of aquatic organisms identified using the international 3-alpha code as defined by the FAO (ASFIS list of species for fishery statistics purposes).
4. ‘FAO major areas’ means the geographical areas identified using the international numerical-2 code as defined by the FAO (CWP Handbook of fishery statistical standards. Section H: Fishing areas for statistical purposes). The FAO major areas covered for the purpose of this Regulation are the following:
Code |
Area |
01 |
Inland waters (Africa) |
05 |
Inland waters (Europe) |
27 |
North-east Atlantic |
34 |
Atlantic Eastern Central |
37 |
Mediterranean and Black Seas |
… |
Other areas (to be specified) |
5. ‘Ponds’ means relatively shallow and usually small bodies of still water or water with a low refreshment rate, most frequently artificially formed, but can also apply to natural pools, tarns, meres or small lakes.
6. ‘Hatcheries and nurseries’ means places for the artificial breeding, hatching and rearing through the early life stages of aquatic animals. For statistical purposes, hatcheries are limited to the production of fertilised eggs. First juvenile stages of aquatic animals are considered as being produced in nurseries.
7. ‘Enclosures and pens’ means areas of water confined by nets, mesh and other barriers allowing uncontrolled water interchange and distinguished by the fact that enclosures occupy the full water column between substrate and surface; pens and enclosures generally enclose a relatively large volume of water.
8. ‘Cages’ means open or covered enclosed structures constructed with net, mesh or any porous material allowing natural water interchange. These structures may be floating, suspended or fixed to the substrate but still permitting water interchange from below.
9. ‘Tanks and raceways’ means artificial units constructed above or below ground level capable of high rates of water interchange or with a high water turnover rate and highly controlled environment but without water recirculation.
10. ‘Recirculation systems’ means systems where the water is reused after some form of treatment (e.g. filtering).
11. ‘Transferred to a controlled environment’ means the intentional release for further aquaculture practices.
12. ‘Released to the wild’ means the intentional release for the restocking of rivers, lakes and other waters other than for aquaculture purposes. These releases may then be available for capture by fishing operations.
13. ‘Volume’ means:
for fish, crustaceans and molluscs and other aquatic animals, the live weight equivalent of the product. For molluscs, the live weight shall include the weight of the shell;
for aquatic plants, the wet weight of the product.
14. ‘Unit value’ means the total value (excluding invoiced value-added tax) of the production (in national currency) divided by the total volume of the production.
