1. Indledning

Ifølge artikel 14 i Rådets forordning (EF) nr. 2371/2002 [1] og artikel 12 i Kommissionens forordning (EF) nr. 1438/2003 [2] skal medlemsstaterne hvert år inden den 1. maj forelægge Kommissionen en rapport om deres bestræbelser i det foregående år på at opnå en bæredygtig ligevægt mellem fiskerikapacitet og fiskerimuligheder. Medlemsstaternes rapporter findes på Europa-webstedet [3]. På grundlag af disse rapporter og dataene i EF-fiskerflåderegistret [4] udarbejdede Kommissionen et resumé for 2005, som blev forelagt for Den Videnskabelige, Tekniske og Økonomiske Komité for Fiskeri (STECF) og for Komitéen for Fiskeri og Akvakultur. Denne rapport, som er et resumé af medlemsstaternes rapporter, forelægger Kommissionen nu for Rådet og Europa-Parlamentet ledsaget af udtalelserne fra ovennævnte komitéer.

Denne rapport falder i to dele:

– Første del beskriver de regler, medlemsstaterne skal følge ved forvaltningen af deres flåder, og sammenfatter kort de oplysninger, der er givet i henhold til artikel 13 i Kommissionens forordning (EF) nr. 1438/2003 om gennemførelsesbestemmelser til EU's flådepolitik.

– Anden del omfatter tabeller og grafer, der indeholder tal for udviklingen i medlemsstaternes flådekapacitet i 2005 og de relevante oplysninger om til- og afgang af fartøjer for de enkelte medlemsstaters flåder.

2. Flådeforvaltning under den fælles fiskeripolitik efter reformen

I henhold til den fælles fiskeripolitik, der blev vedtaget i december 2002, forvaltes fiskerflåderne efter den generelle regel om, at ny kapacitet – udtrykt i tonnage og maskineffekt – som tilgår flåden, ikke må være større end den kapacitet, der udtages af flåden (se teknisk bilag 1).

3. Resumé af medlemsstaternes årsrapporter

Igen i år har kun ti medlemsstater indsendt deres årsrapporter inden fristens udløb, som var den 30. april 2006; de resterende rapporter blev indsendt for sent (f.eks. indsendte Italien og Frankrig deres rapporter flere måneder efter fristens udløb). Det Forenede Kongerige har ikke indsendt nogen årsrapport. Endvidere er oplysningerne i medlemsstaternes rapporter ikke homogene, og undertiden er årsrapporternes format/indhold ikke overholdt. Desuden overskred mange medlemsstater igen den fastsatte rapportlængde på maksimalt 10 sider og vedføjede en lang række bilag og forklarende tabeller.

Ovennævnte omstændigheder gjorde det problematisk at foretage en samlet vurdering af medlemsstaternes rapporter, og Kommissionen havde store vanskeligheder med at overholde fristen (31. juli 2006) for indsendelse af den sammenfattende rapport til STECF og Komitéen for Fiskeri og Akvakultur.

a) Beskrivelse af flåderne i relation til fiskeriernes tilstand

Medlemsstaternes årsrapporter indeholdt en generel beskrivelse af fiskerflåderne efter antal fartøjer, kapacitet, målarter og fiskeriområder. Endvidere anvendte medlemsstaterne forskellige kategoriseringssystemer; nogle bevarede den gamle FUP IV-kategorisering, mens andre anvendte deres egne nationale kategoriseringssystemer. Generelt kategoriseres fiskerflåderne på nationalt plan på følgende måde:

– FUP IV-kategoriseringen anvendes af Tyskland, Frankrig, Portugal, Finland og Irland (med nogle tilføjelser)

– efter fartøjstype/fiskeredskab/længde overalt i Danmark og Cypern

– efter længde overalt og fiskeredskab i Grækenland og Slovenien

– efter redskab i Belgien

– efter geografiske fangstpladser og fiskerfartøjstyper i Spanien, Letland, Litauen og Polen

– efter længde overalt, fangstpladser, anvendt fiskeredskab og fanget fiskeart i Estland og Sverige (med undtagelse af anvendelse af fangstpladser som en indikator)

– er opdelt i to kategorier: akvakultur og kontinentalflåde (hovedsagelig kuttere) i Nederlandene.

En række medlemsstater understregede, at fartøjerne til kystfiskeri af mindre omfang (som tegner sig for over 80 % af den samlede EF-fiskerflåde) har en meget betydelig socioøkonomisk indvirkning på kystsamfund. En bedre forvaltning og udvikling af denne sektor er angivet som en prioriteret opgave i f.eks. Sverige og Grækenland.

De fleste medlemsstater forsøgte i deres rapporter at vurdere ligevægten mellem fiskerflådekapacitet og fiskerimuligheder. Der blev anvendt forskellige tilgange til at fastslå sammenhængene mellem disponible fiskebestande og deres flåder. En række medlemsstater foretog en analyse af de disponible fiskebestande set i forhold til kapacitetsændringerne i forbindelse med hver af deres fartøjskategorier. Nogle medlemsstater anvendte en mere socioøkonomisk tilgang til at vurdere udviklingen i deres fiskerflådekapacitet.

I 2005 anvendte medlemsstaterne en række forskellige foranstaltninger til at skabe større ligevægt mellem disponible ressourcer og fiskerflåder: reduktion af flådekapacitet, begrænsning af fiskedage, national begrænsning af adgang til ressourcer, begrænsning af antal fiskerilicenser, tildeling af fiskekvoter osv. Alle medlemsstater meldte om en gradvis reduktion af flådekapaciteten, både i GT og i kW, i 2005, hovedsagelig ved hjælp af udtagningsordninger.

b) Fiskeriindsatsreducerende ordningers indvirkning på kapaciteten

Medlemsstaterne var som nævnt ovenfor omfattet af forskellige foranstaltninger til genopretning af bestandene og fiskeriindsatsreducerende ordninger i 2005. Alle medlemsstater, der driver fiskeri i Kattegat, Nordsøen og Skagerrak, vest for Skotland, den østlige del af Den Engelske Kanal, Det Irske Hav, Biscayabugten, Det Cantabriske Hav og den vestlige del af Den Iberiske Halvø samt Østersøen, var berørt af de fiskeriindsatsreducerende foranstaltninger (hvoraf nogle er fastsat i Rådets forordning (EF) nr. 27/2005 [5]). Generelt omfattede disse foranstaltninger begrænsning af antallet af havdage og af, hvilke fiskeredskaber det var tilladt at anvende.

De fleste af de berørte medlemsstater meddelte, at deres fiskeriindsats generelt var blevet reduceret støt. Endvidere meddelte de berørte medlemsstater, at reduktionen af deres fiskeriindsats navnlig var opnået ved hjælp af forskellige fiskeriindsatsreducerende ordninger og udtagningsordninger, både på EU-plan og nationalt plan. Nogle medlemsstater anførte, at de stigende brændstofpriser i 2005 også spillede en betydelig rolle for reduktionen af deres fiskeriindsats. Nedenfor følger en række bemærkninger fra medlemsstaterne vedrørende fiskeriindsatsordninger i 2005:

Belgien: I 2005 var der flådeaktiviteter i Nordsøen, de vestlige farvande og Biscayabugten, med begrænsninger i henhold til forordning 27/2005. I hvert af disse områder var flåden omfattet af en genopretnings- eller forvaltningsplan (med undtagelse af rejeflåden). Desuden fastsætter det belgiske system restriktioner for det samlede antal tilladte rejsedage pr. fartøj pr. år for alle områder.

De til rådighed værende havdage i torskegenopretningsområdet blev af visse fartøjer i bomtrawlflåden opfattet som en virkelig begrænsning. Det samlede antal havdage for hele flåden blev ikke overskredet, da visse fartøjer ikke udnyttede det antal dage, de havde fået tildelt. Begrænsningen for rejsedage resulterede ikke i, at den disponible fiskekvote ikke blev udnyttet.

Danmark: Virkninger af genopretningsplanen for torsk i Nordsøen – 71 642 havdage blev anvendt i forhold til 81 330 havdage i 2004, en reduktion på 12 %. Samspillet mellem ressource- og flådeforvaltning med hensyn til TAC-restriktioner/kvoterestriktioner og indsats/kapacitet er blevet undersøgt i et forskningsprojekt. Konklusionen er, at fra et økonomisk synspunkt, hvor flådens økonomiske resultater med hensyn til udnyttelsen af fiskebestandene vurderes højt, vil flådestørrelsen skulle reduceres. I en analyse af fire scenarier på kort sigt falder antallet af fartøjer betydeligt i alle tilfælde, undtagen når fartøjernes aktivitet (havdage) er begrænset. På lang sigt vil den forventede gevinst kunne blive betydelig med en genoprettet bestand. En tilsvarende gevinst kunne imidlertid opnås ved hjælp af en effektiv flådeforvaltning, der kan sammenlignes med forvaltningen af fiskebestandene. Arbejde med at fastslå den faktiske ligevægt mellem flådestørrelse og fiskerimuligheder videreføres.

Tyskland: På grund af fiskerflådens ringe størrelse havde fiskeriindsatsreducerende ordninger kun en begrænset indvirkning på fiskerikapaciteten, næsten kun med hensyn til fiskeriet i Østersøen. Inden for rammerne af flådeforvaltningssystemet til opnåelse en bæredygtig ligevægt mellem fiskerikapacitet og disponible ressourcer skal den tyske fiskerflåde fastholde en tilstrækkelig samlet kapacitet for at kunne udnytte de kvoter, der tildeles Tyskland. Udviklingen i den tyske fiskerflåde viser, at den har tilpasset sig til både de økonomiske vilkår i forbindelse med den nye fælles fiskeripolitik og de begrænsede disponible ressourcer. Dette er grunden til, at de tyske myndigheder ikke behøvede at gøre noget med hensyn til udviklingen i flåden.

Estland: følger TAC-reduktionen for torsk i Østersøen og genopretningsplanen fra Organisationen for Fiskeriet i Det Nordvestlige Atlanterhav i henhold til Rådets forordning (EF) nr. 27/2005.

Grækenland: Ingen flerårige forvaltnings- og genopretningsplaner fandt anvendelse, da der ikke findes sådanne planer for fiskeriet i Middelhavsområdet, mens justeringsforanstaltninger i forbindelse med flådekapacitet og fiskerimuligheder i henhold til Rådet forordning (EF) nr. 2792/1999 og 2369/2002 fortsat fandt anvendelse som led i det operationelle program for fiskeriet.

Spanien: Videreførte den flådefornyelse og -modernisering, der blev iværksat i 2003, i overensstemmelse med bestemmelserne i forordning 2371/2002. På denne måde har forvaltningen af til- og afgange gjort det muligt at opnå en mindre reduktion af flådens kapacitet og derfor af dens samlede fiskeriindsats.

I 2005 blev der gennemført to nationale planer i forbindelse med fangstpladsen i Cadizbugten. Disse vedrører genopretning og bæredygtig forvaltning af henholdsvis trawl- og notfiskeri og indeholder i det væsentlige indsatsreducerende foranstaltninger. Ved at begrænse antallet af dage har det været muligt at reducere fiskeriindsatsen med ca. 32 % i forhold til tidligere år.

Frankrig: Den franske kontinentalflådes kapacitet var stabil i 2005. Der blev ikke ydet offentlig støtte til udtagning i 2005. En ny udtagningsordning er planlagt i 2006 i forbindelse med den flåde, der opererer på områder med overfiskeri. Den reduktion af fiskeriindsatsen, der er indført som led i genopretningsplaner eller i henhold til bestemmelserne i bilag IV til TAC- og kvotereguleringen, vedrører omkring 850 fartøjer; der har ikke fundet nogen kapacitetsreduktion sted i 2005 som følge af disse foranstaltninger.

Irland: De irske fiskerier, der er omfattet af genopretningsplaner, er meget blandede. Som følge heraf er det vanskeligt at måle de fiskeriindsatsreducerende ordningers indvirkning på fiskerikapaciteten. For at sikre overholdelsen af Rådets forordning (EF) nr. 27/2005 indførte Irland et system, hvor fiskerfartøjer, der fisker i de specificerede områder og anvender specificerede fiskeredskaber, er forpligtet til at udfylde en officiel erklæring om antal havdage ("Official Days at Sea Declaration form"). Foruden indsatsforanstaltninger i forbindelse med den flerårige genopretnigsplan for torsk i Det Irske Hav og vest for Skotland findes der også den almindelige mekanisme til kontrol af fiskeriindsatsen, som finder anvendelse på demersale arter generelt (samt krabbe og kammusling) i alle farvande omkring Irland. Irland overvågede indsatsens omfang inden for disse fiskerier og indførte forvaltningsforanstaltninger for at holde flåden inden for indsatstildelingerne.

I 2005 lancerede den irske minister for havanliggender en ny ordning med henblik på at fjerne indtil 25 % af de ældre, større og mere aktive fartøjer i flådens demersale kategorier (polyvalent og bomtrawl) og også fjerne overskudskapacitet i muslingeflåden. 22 fartøjer (2 464 GT og 7 742 kW i alt) fragik flåden under denne ordning i 2005.

Italien: Den faldende tendens i landinger, der blev registreret i 2005, kan tilskrives nedsættelsen af både antallet af fartøjer og aktivitetsniveauet. Det skal bemærkes i denne forbindelse, at brændstofpriserne har haft en betydelig indvirkning på det samlede antal fiskedage, hvor mange var nødt til at ændre deres fiskestrategi, dvs. begrænse deres fiskeriindsats for at dæmpe driftsomkostningerne. Planen for reduktion af fiskerikapaciteten ved hjælp af offentlig støtte gav, som i tidligere år, gode resultater i 2005. Selv om det ikke har berørt vurderingen vedrørende overholdelse af tilgangs/afgangsordningen, har der i absolutte tal været en betydelig reduktion af fiskeriindsatsen i de italienske farvande.

Cypern: To bundtrawlere blev ophugget, og to fartøjer blev givet til lokale museer. I alt 2 864 GT og 5 423 kW blev varigt taget ud af flåden.

Letland: I 2005 blev 31 fartøjer ophugget med offentlig støtte. Alle disse fartøjer blev taget ud af østersøflåden. Hovedårsagen til, at ejerne af disse fartøjer søgte om udtagning, er, at fiskebestandene i Østersøen har det skidt. Navnlig torskebestandene er i en meget dårlig tilstand, og hovedparten af de udtagne fartøjer var derfor torskefartøjer. En anden vigtig grund til ophugning var fartøjernes høje alder og ringe tekniske ydeevne samt den store stigning i brændstofomkostningerne og andre omkostninger i forbindelse med fiskeriet.

Den samlede indvirkning af den fiskeriindsatsreducerende ordning samt reduktionen af den lettiske fiskerflåde gennem eksport eller udtagning af fartøjer uden offentlig støtte bevirkede, at kapaciteten af torskefartøjer blev reduceret med 11 %. Siden 1. maj 2004 har denne kapacitetsreduktion haft en positiv indvirkning på torskebestandene og reproduktionen af denne bestand, der er den vigtigste i Østersøen.

Litauen: I 2005 blev kapaciteten af de fiskerfartøjer, der driver fiskeri i Østersøen og langs kysten, reduceret med 1 576 GT og 3 104 kW i forhold til 2004 – denne reduktion blev opnået ved at ophugge fartøjer med offentlig støtte. En reduktion på 22 % af fiskerikapaciteten blandt de fartøjer, der fiskede i Østersøen, medførte en stigning i fiskekvoterne til de resterende fiskerfartøjer.

Malta: Generelt var de sæsonbestemte udsving og fiskerimønstrene de samme i 2005 som i tidligere år uden tegn på en stigning i fiskeriindsatsen inden for noget fiskeri. Der blev ikke gennemført nogen fiskeriindsatsreducerende ordninger, og der kan ikke rapporteres om nogen indvirkning på fiskerikapaciteten. De maltesiske fiskerier blev forvaltet i overensstemmelse med Rådets forordning (EF) nr. 813/2004, som fastsatte foranstaltninger til kontrol af indsatsen for farvandene omkring Malta. De ressourcer, der udnyttes af den maltesiske fiskerflåde, er i en sådan tilstand, at en reduktion af fiskerikapaciteten ikke er nødvendig.

Nederlandene: Situationen i den nederlandske kuttersektor har i flere år givet anledning til bekymring med reducerede kvoter og store omkostningsstigninger. Navnlig mulighederne for fangst af rødspætter er blevet meget forringet i de seneste par år. Myndighederne og fiskerisektoren har derfor udviklet en række initiativer for at mindske presset på rødspættebestandene. Et af disse er at udtage en del af flåden og således reducere fangstkapaciteten varigt. Dette har skabt større ligevægt mellem kapacitet og fangstmuligheder og hjælper med til at genoprette rødspættebestandene. En anden følge er bedre økonomiske perspektiver for de resterende fiskere, idet der er flere fangstmuligheder pr. fartøj.

I september 2005 trådte ordningen for kapacitetsformindskelse i havfiskeriet i kraft - hvilket resulterede i, at 29 fartøjer blev udtaget, i alt 36 092 kW og 8 982 GT. Til dels som følge af denne ordning blev kutterflåden reduceret, hvilket bidrog til at skabe større ligevægt mellem flåden og de eksisterende fiskerimuligheder. I 2005 blev den nederlandske kutterflådes kW-dage i genopretningsplanen for Nordsøen reduceret med 15 % i forhold til 2004. Hvad angår resten af flåden, er dens størrelse berettiget på grundlag af fiskebestandenes nuværende størrelse og tilstand. Den gennemførte kapacitetsreduktion og reduktionen af den kapacitet, der er udnyttet i 2005, har skabt større ligevægt mellem bestandenes størrelse og flådens størrelse.

Polen: iværksatte en fiskeriindsatsreducerende ordning hovedsagelig på grund af den alvorlige overkapacitet inden for torskefiskeri i Østersøen samt på grund af lav rentabilitet. I 2005 blev 270 fartøjer ophugget eller skiftede aktiviteter, og den varige udtagning af fiskerikapacitet udgjorde 15 564 GT og 42 237 kW.

Portugal: Flåden har været berørt af følgende indsatsbegrænsninger: med hensyn til notfiskeri (sardin), genopretningsplanen for sydlig kulmule (Rådets forordning (EF) nr. 27/2005), genopretningsplanen for hellefisk i NAFO og reglerne for fiskeriet for dybhavsarter. Med hensyn til sidstnævnte har Portugal anvendt en licensordning for at begrænse fartøjers adgang til dybhavsfiskeri. 34 forslag vedrørende reduktioner blev godkendt i 2005, og 25 fartøjer blev allerede ophugget i løbet af året inden for kontinentalflåden, svarende til en reduktion på 5 011 GT og 10 123 kW.

Slovenien: kan ikke rapportere om nogen indvirkninger på fiskerikapaciteten som følge af fiskeriindsatsreducerende ordninger, da der endnu ikke er indført forvaltnings- eller genopretningsplaner for fiskeriet i Middelhavet. Samtidig er der ingen oplægnings- eller udtagningsordninger for fiskerfartøjerne.

Finland: Der blev udarbejdet en særlig ordning for kapacitetsreduktion i fiskeriet. Dette skyldtes den erkendte overkapacitet inden for silde- og brislingefiskeriet samt forbuddet mod drivgarn i Østersøen. Finland gennemførte denne ordning for kapacitetsreduktion i forbindelse med pelagiske trawlere og fartøjer med passive redskaber. 1 378 GT og 6 025 kW er blevet taget ud med offentlig støtte.

Den pelagiske flådes indsats er faldet betydeligt – med ca. 15 % i perioden 2003-2005. Fiskeri efter demersale arter (hovedsagelig torsk) med trukne redskaber og faststående garn er blevet kraftigt reduceret i 2005 - ca. 79 % – dette vedrører imidlertid kun en mindre fangst og nogle få fartøjer. Indsatsen i fiskeriet efter laks, ørred og ferskvandsarter er blevet reduceret mest i de senere år: ca. 88 %.

Sverige: Under de flerårige forvaltnings- og genopretningsplaner, der er indført i Nordsøen, Skagerrak og Kattegat, er fiskerikapaciteten gradvis blevet reduceret som følge af mindre TAC'er og færre havdage. Nationale regler vedrørende tilpasninger til trawlgrænsen, indførelse af obligatoriske størrelsesselektive trawl og begrænsning af kysttrawls- og notfiskeri har yderligere reduceret kapaciteten. De særlige licenser til torskefiskeri i Østersøen har begrænset kapaciteten i forbindelse med denne form for fiskeri.

I betragtning af den alvorlige situation for bestandene af bundfiskearter i Kattegat og Skagerrak og under hensyntagen til kystfiskeriet med faststående garn er fiskerimulighederne blevet begrænset inden for "trawlgrænsen" i kystområderne. Begrænsningerne indebar, at notfiskeri blev forbudt i yderligere to fjordsystemer. Der er indført tidsbegrænsninger for notfiskeri med brug af lys. Fiskerimulighederne i forbindelse med sildefiskeriet er ligeledes blevet begrænset, og de største af de pelagiske fartøjer har ikke længere mulighed for at få en licens til kystfiskeri. Der er indført forbud mod pelagisk trawlfiskeri i områder af særlig betydning for rusefiskere.

Sammenfattende bekræftede størstedelen af medlemsstaterne, at de eksisterende fiskeriindsatsreducerende ordninger generelt har ført til gode resultater og bidraget til at skabe større ligevægt mellem fiskerikapacitet og fiskerimuligheder. Endvidere anførte nogle medlemsstater, at foranstaltningerne til reduktion af kapaciteten og fiskeriindsatsen bør forstærkes i fremtiden.

F.eks. bemærkede Belgien, at dets fiskere i lang tid har været klar over, at fiskebestandene ikke er på samme niveau som for ti år siden. De accepterer, at der derfor er behov for at gøre en indsats for at gøre fiskebestandene mindre sårbare, og at flåden skal indskrænkes, således at de tilbageværende fiskere fortsat kan drive fiskeri på en bæredygtig og økonomisk rentabel måde. Begrænsningerne som følge af genopretnings- eller forvaltningsplaner bør imidlertid påviseligt bære frugt på kort og mellemlang sigt, hvis de fortsat skal være troværdige og acceptable for fiskerne. Det fremgik af en undersøgelse i Belgien, at 10 000 kW (15 % af den nuværende flådekapacitet) bør tages ud af den belgiske flåde for at hjælpe den med at opnå ligevægt på kort sigt på grundlag af den nuværende omkostningsstruktur og de nuværende fangstmuligheder.

På samme måde anførte Sverige, at en yderligere kapacitetsreduktion er ønskelig med henblik på at opnå ligevægt mellem kapacitet og muligheder. Dette er også en forudsætning for at skabe rentabilitet i fiskerflåden på lang sigt. Fiskebestandene vil formentlig forblive på samme niveau i de næste par år, hvorfor der kan forventes en fortsat reduktion af flådestørrelsen. Det er ligeledes vigtigt at kombinere flådeforvaltning med andre foranstaltninger for at skabe balance mellem fiskerikapacitet og -ressourcer, f.eks. foranstaltninger vedrørende fordeling af kvoter og fiskerimuligheder og indsats- og redskabsbegrænsninger.

c) Stærke og svage punkter

Tilgangs/afgangsordningen er blevet fulgt af alle medlemsstater. I de fleste tilfælde blev de nationale flåderegisterdata indberettet til Kommissionen i henhold til forordning (EF) nr. 26/2004. Der var imidlertid fortsat nogle få vanskeligheder af organisatorisk art vedrørende databehandlingen; dette skyldes hovedsagelig en begrænset administrativ kapacitet i nogle medlemsstater. Trods disse vanskeligheder var kvaliteten af de data, medlemsstaterne sender til Kommissionen, blevet markant bedre i 2005. En af de vigtige opgaver var en løbende krydskontrol af flåderegisterdata og verifikation af "advarsler".

Næsten alle medlemsstater havde i 2005 funktionsdygtige integrerede it-systemer for fiskeri, som ofte omfattede en række softwareapplikationer (flåderegister, kapacitetsforvaltning, licenser, landinger, kvoter, fangstrapportering osv.). I 2005 blev nye versioner af integrerede it-systemer for fiskeri lanceret i Irland og Sverige. Slovenien havde ligeledes arbejdet på at indføre et integreret it-system for fiskeri. Disse systemer binder i de fleste tilfælde en række administrative organer samt centrale administrative organer sammen med de lokale organer og styrker således de nationale fiskerflådeadministrationer betydeligt. Endvidere har medlemsstaterne anført, at deres nationale registre er nøjagtige, fuldstændige og ajourførte.

d) Overholdelse af tilgangs/afgangsordning og referenceniveauer

Alle medlemsstaterne anførte i deres rapporter, at de fuldt ud overholder de eksisterende regler for tilgang/afgang. I teknisk bilag 1 og 2 konstateres det ved hjælp af formlen i Kommissionens forordning (EF) nr. 1438/2003, i hvilket omfang tilgangs/afgangsordningen og eventuelle referenceniveauer blev overholdt ved udgangen af 2005. Disse tekniske bilag, der er baseret på data fra EF-fiskerflåderegistret, indeholder oplysninger om overholdelsen for Fællesskabet og i hver medlemsstat.

4. KOMMISSIONENS KONKLUSIONER

Kvaliteten af medlemsstaternes rapporter er bedre i år end i 2004. Nogle medlemsstaters rapporter var meget detaljerede og indeholdt også flere oplysninger, end medlemsstaterne var forpligtet til at give. Andre medlemsstater overholdt dog ikke indsendelsesfristen eller de krav til rapporternes format og indhold, der er fastsat i artikel 13 i Kommissionens forordning (EF) nr. 1438/2003. På tidspunktet for udarbejdelsen af denne rapport havde Det Forenede Kongerige ikke indsendt sin årsrapport.

Medlemsstaternes rapporter handlede mere om gennemførelsen af den nationale flådeforvaltningsordning, men vurderingen af ligevægten mellem fiskerflådekapacitet og fiskerimulighederne var mere fuldstændig end i tidligere rapporter.

Resultater for kontinentalflåden (EU-flåden ekskl. fartøjer registreret i EU's fjernområder):

Ifølge EF-fiskerflåderegistret blev den samlede kapacitet for EU-15-medlemsstaternes flåde i treårsperioden 2003–2005 reduceret med 117 000 GT og 499,000 kW, hvilket svarer til en nettoreduktion på 6,27 % af EU-15-flådens samlede tonnage og på 7,28 % af dens maskineffekt. Nettoreduktionen i 2005 var på ca. 50 000 GT, mens den var på 23 000 GT i 2004 og 44 000 GT i 2003. Disse reduktioner synes forholdsvis små, hvis man betragter det høje fiskeritryk i forbindelse med de fleste af EU's fiskerier, navnlig efter demersale arter.

I de nye medlemsstater er flådekapaciteten siden 1. maj 2004 blev reduceret med 41 000 GT og 101 000 kW, hvilket svarer til en reduktion af deres flåder på 18 % af tonnagen og 18 % af maskineffekten i forhold til fiskerikapaciteten på tiltrædelsesdatoen.

I 2003, 2004 og 2005 blev der taget ca. 132 000 GT og 427 000 kW ud af EU-flåden med offentlig støtte, hvilket betyder, at denne kapacitet ikke må erstattes med ny kapacitet.

Af denne kapacitet, der er udtaget med offentlig støtte, kom langt hovedparten (112 000 GT og 373 000 kW) fra EU-15-medlemsstaterne. Den kapacitet, der er udtaget af de nye medlemsstater med offentlig støtte siden 1. maj 2004, udgjorde 20 000 GT og 54 000 kW.

Tabel 1 og 2 i teknisk bilag 1 opsummerer overholdelsesgraden pr. 31. december 2005 for tilgangs/afgangsordningen og referenceniveauerne. Størstedelen af medlemsstaterne har overholdt disse regler. Grækenland overholdt dog ikke tilgangs/afgangsordningen med hensyn til tonnage; den manglende overholdelsesgrad var dog kun ubetydelig, da tonnageloftet kun blev overskredet med 0,29 %. De græske myndigheder bestrider Kommissionens vurdering; ifølge dem har Grækenland overholdt tilgangs/afgangsordningen.

Tabel 3 og 4 i teknisk bilag 1 indeholder en oversigt over flådekapacitetsændringen i perioden 1. januar 2003 (1. maj 2004 for de nye medlemsstater) – 31. december 2005. Antallet af fartøjer fremgår også af disse tabeller. Tabel 3 vedrører alle medlemsstater. Teknisk bilag 2 indeholder en detaljeret vurdering pr. medlemsstat.

Resultater for de fiskerflåder, der er registreret i EU's fjernområder:

Kapaciteten for de flåder, der er registreret i EU's fjernområder, og ændringen i perioden 1. januar 2003 – 31. december 2005 fremgår af tabel 4. Resultaterne viser, at den flåde, der er registreret i de spanske og portugisiske fjernområder, er blevet reduceret betydeligt både med hensyn til tonnage og maskineffekt. Med hensyn til de franske oversøiske departementer har der været en mindre reduktion af det samlede antal fartøjer og deres tonnage og en stigning i maskineffekt.

Tabellerne i teknisk bilag 3 indeholder detaljerede oplysninger om anvendelsen af den særlige ordning for disse flåder. Ud af de 17 fartøjskategorier i fjernområderne overskred én referenceniveauet for maskineffekt ved udgangen af 2005 (kategorien '4FJ' - fartøjer af en længde på under 12 m i det franske oversøiske departement Martinique) og en anden kategori overskred referenceniveauet for tonnage (kategorien 'CA3' – fartøjer af en længde på over 12 m, der er registreret på De Kanariske Øer og driver fiskeri i internationale og tredjelandes farvande). Anvendelsen af den særlige ordning ophører for sådanne kategorier fra det øjeblik, hvor deres maksimale referenceniveau er nået, jf. den pågældende forordning [6].

Generelle bemærkninger

Som forklaret ovenfor er denne sammenfattende rapport baseret på medlemsstaternes årsrapporter og data fra EF-fiskerflåderegistret. Der er fortsat mindre uoverensstemmelser mellem dataene i medlemsstaternes rapporter og de data, der følger af medlemsstaternes anmeldelser til EF-fiskerflåderegistret. Takket være medlemsstaternes og Kommissionens indsats for at synkronisere deres data er disse uoverensstemmelser ikke vigtige med hensyn til flådeforvaltningen. Der bør imidlertid fortsat gøres en indsats for at fjerne disse forskelle. Under alle omstændigheder ændrer dataene i medlemsstaternes nationale rapporter intet ved denne rapports konklusioner.

Ifølge artikel 16 i Rådets forordning (EF) nr. 2371/2002 er de medlemsstater, der ikke overholder forordningens artikel 11, 13 og 15, forpligtet til at reducere deres fiskeriindsats til det niveau, som det ville have ligget på, hvis ovennævnte artikler var blevet overholdt. Desuden kan der blive tale om forholdsmæssig suspension af EU's finansielle støtte under FIUF.

For at forbedre årsrapporternes kvalitet har Kommissionen sammen med Komitéen for Fiskeri og Akvakultur til hensigt at opstille mere detaljerede retningslinjer for årsrapporternes indhold og vedtage en fælles samordnet metode, hvor der lægges større vægt på analyse af udviklingen i fiskerikapaciteten i forhold til de disponible fiskebestande. Disse spørgsmål vil blive drøftet på kommende møder i Komitéen for Fiskeri og Akvakultur.

I de fremtidige årsrapporter bør der fokuseres mere på, i hvor høj grad den nye ordning til forvaltning af EU-flåden, der blev vedtaget i 2002, bidrager til at skabe større ligevægt mellem flåder og fiskebestande. De nationale udtagningsordningers indvirkning navnlig på reduktionen af fiskeriindsatsen for fiskerier, for hvilke der er iværksat forvaltnings- eller genopretningsplaner, bør identificeres og vurderes bedre.

Technical Annex 1 – Summary Tables and Graphs

Fleet Management in the reformed Common Fisheries Policy

a) Entry/Exit regime

From 1 January 2003 Member States have had to respect a strict entry-exit regime applying to the capacity of their fleets, measured in terms of both tonnage and power. Any entry of capacity into the fleet of a Member State has to be compensated by the previous exit of at least the same amount of capacity (ratio 1:1, “at any time”), unless the entry corresponds to works to improve safety, hygiene or living and working conditions on board (Article 11(5) of Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002). For entries of new vessels between 100 and 400 GT built with public aid (the administrative decisions granting aid were possible only until 31 December 2004) the Member State has to withdraw 35% more capacity than it introduces (ratio 1:1.35).

Another important rule is that capacity leaving the fleet with public aid cannot be replaced. Such capacity is subtracted directly from the fleet and also from the reference level established in accordance with Article 12 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002, and it therefore counts against the entry/exit regime in the ratio 0:1. Capacity reductions supported with public aid are therefore definitive.

All of this means that, as a general rule, the capacity of the national fleets cannot increase with respect to its levels on:

– 1 January 2003 for EU-15 Member States in accordance with Article 6 and 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1438/2003;

– 1 May 2004 for new Member States in accordance with Article 1(2) and 1(3) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 916/2004.

In practice this is likely to be the case. However, the implementing rules for the fleet policy allow for the introduction of vessels outside the framework of the entry/exit regime in the case where administrative decisions have been made by the national authorities:

– between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2002 for those vessels to enter the fleet after 1 January 2003 in EU-15 Member States and,

– between 1 May 2001 and 30 April 2004 for vessels which enter the fleet after 1 May 2004 in new Member States.

These entries have to take place at the most 3 years after the date of the administrative decision (i.e. for EU-15 Member States at the latest by the end of 2005 and for new Member States until 30 April 2007) and must comply with the rules that existed at that time, in particular Article 9 of the Council Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999 regarding Community structural assistance in the fisheries sector.

b) Reference Levels (mainland fleet)

The reference levels for the fleets of Member States are the sum of the global final objectives of Multiannual Guidance Programme (MAGP IV) as established by Article 12 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002. The general rule is that Member States may not exceed their reference levels at any time.

When a Member State undertakes decommissioning with public aid, these reference levels are automatically reduced by the amount of capacity scrapped. In addition, Member States which gave aid to construction of vessels until the end of 2004 will see their initial 2003 reference level reduced at least by 3% by the end of 2004.

Since the reference levels are a legacy of MAGP IV [7] (period 1997 – 2002), the Council decided that they would not apply to the new Member States (Council Regulation (EC) No 1242/2004 [8]).

c) Management of fleet reference levels in the outermost regions

The fishing fleets registered in the Community outermost regions, namely the French Overseas Departments, the Spanish Canary Islands and the Portuguese Azores and Madera have to comply with specific reference levels for these regions in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 639/2004 [9] and Commission Regulation (EC) No 2104/2004 [10].

d) Measurement of tonnage

The measurement of the Community fleet is based on Council Regulation (EC) No 3259/94 [11] and Commission Decision No 95/84/EC [12]. These legislative acts establish that the tonnage of vessels of 15 m in length or more has to be measured in accordance with the London Convention, i.e. as a function of the vessel’s total enclosed volume, while for vessels of less than 15 m in length, the regulation defines a system of tonnage calculation based on an estimate of the hull’s volume.

The fleet should have been entirely measured in accordance with Community law by 31 December 2003. Nevertheless, at the end of 2005, for some Member States there remained number of vessels that were not measured in GT.

In cases where the measurement of the fleet has not been completed, the tonnage figures used in this report are a mixture of GT and GRT. That is, for vessels whose GT tonnage is not available the GRT value is used.

e) Community Fishing Fleet Register

In 2004, the new Community Fleet Register was set up in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 26/2004. It became operational on 1st September 2004. This change was necessary in order to follow up the new rules for managing the fishing capacity of the EU fleet which entered into force on 1st January 2003. This system, following the 2002 CFP reform, gives more responsibility to the Member States in achieving a better balance between the fishing capacity of their fleets and the available resources.

The main tool for monitoring the fishing fleet is the Community Fleet Register (CFR). According Commission Regulation (EC) No 26/2004, Member States are obliged on a quarterly basis ("snapshots" shall be sent on the first working day of March, June, September and December) to transmit electronically all relevant information on the characteristics of approximately 88,500 marine fishing vessels, together with information on entries to and exits from the fleet. Furthermore, the CFR is managed via web based application, called the Community Fleet Register On the Net (FRONT). The FRONT is also available for the general public on the following web page: http://ec.europa.eu/comm/fisheries/fleet/index.cfm

It is important to note that all information contained in the Technical Annexes 1, 2 and 3 has been taken from the CFR, with the exception of:

– data on entries corresponding to administrative decisions taken by national authorities before 1 January 2003 (or 1 May 2004 for the new Member States) and for which the special transitional provisions established in the regulation apply;

– data on exits with public aid in some cases where this was not available.

Only in these two cases has the information been taken directly from the Member States.

Data extracted from the Community Fleet Register on 4 October 2006.

* Description of the outermost regions fleets segmentation codes are given in the Technical Annex 3.

Technical Annex 2 – Results by Member State (excluding outermost regions)

The following tables summarise the development of the Member States’ fleets in relation to their compliance with two levels:

– The entry/exit level;

– The levels of reference (not applicable to the new Member States).

A comparison between above mentioned levels and the situation of the fleet on 31 December 2005 has been made based on data collected from the Community Fleet Register on 26th June 2006 and on data from Member States’ national reports. For each Member State’s fleet the following tables are shown:

Table a) Calculation of baselines:

– (GT03 and kW03) at 1 January 2003 for the EU-15 Member States

– (GT04 and kW04) at 1 May 2004 for the new Member States

The baselines (GT03 and kW03) against which entries and exits over 2003, 2004 and 2005 must be assessed for EU-15 Member States are:

– the capacity identified in the Community Fishing Fleet Register at 1 January 2003 for the EU-15 Member States (GTFR and kWFR),

– plus the capacity entered into the fleet in 2003, 2004 and 2005 based on administrative decisions taken by the national authorities between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2002, for which an associated capacity had been withdrawn before 1 January 2003 (GT1 and kW1 for entries with aid, GT3 and kW3 for entries without aid),

– minus 35% of the capacity entered into the fleet in 2003, 2004 and 2005 with public aid based on an administrative decision taken by the national authorities between 1 January 2002 and 30 June 2002 concerning an MAGP IV segment that did not comply with its objectives, for which an associated capacity withdrawal took place (GT2 or kW2),

– minus 30% of the capacity entered into the fleet in 2003, 2004 and 2005 with public aid based on an administrative decision taken between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2001 concerning an MAGP IV segment that did not comply with its objectives, for which an associated capacity withdrawal took place (GT4 or kW4).

According to Article 6 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1438/2003, the corresponding equations are:

GT03 = GTFR + GT1 – 0,35 GT2 + GT3 – 0,30 GT4

kW03 = kWFR + kW1 – 0,35 kW2 + kW3 – 0,30 kW4

The baselines (GT04 and kW04) against which entries and exits over 2003, 2004 and 2005 must be assessed for new Member States are:

– the capacity identified in the Community Fishing Fleet Register at 1 May 2004 for the New Member States (GTFR and kWFR);

– plus the capacity entered into the fleet after the 1 May 2004 based on administrative decisions taken between 1 May 2001 and 30 April 2004 (GT1 and kW1).

According to Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 916/2004, the corresponding equations are:

GT04 = GTFR + GT1

kW04 = kWFR + kW1

Table b) Management of entries and exits during 2005

Table b) shows Member States’ compliance with the entries and exits regime at 31 December 2005. Calculations have been made in accordance with the following formulas:

For the EU-15 Member States (Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1438/2003):

GTt ≤ GT03 - GTa – 0,35 GT100 + GTS + Δ(GT-GRT)

kWt ≤ kW03 - kWa – 0,35 kW100

where:

- GTt or kWt = the size in tonnage and power of the Member State’s fleet at 31 December 2005,

- GT03 or kW03 : see table a) above;

- GTa or kWa = capacities leaving the fleet with public aid after 31 December 2002;

- GT100 or kW100 = capacities of vessels more than 100 GT entering the fleet with public aid;

- GTS = safety tonnage granted under provisions of Article 11(5) of Regulation 2371/2002;

- Δ(GT-GRT) = balance as a result of the re-measurement of the fleet. This term is included in the value of the terms GTt and GT03. This has been done in this way because of the difficulties found in order to calculate it, arising form the incorrect declaration of vessel re-measuring to the Community Fleet Register.

For the new Member States (Article 1 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 916/2004):

GTt ≤ GT04 - GTa – 0,35 GT100 + GTS + Δ(GT-GRT)

kWt ≤ kW04 - kWa – 0,35 kW100

where:

- GTt or kWt = the size in tonnage and power of the Member State’s fleet at 31 December 2005,

- GT04 or kW04 :(see table a) above;

- GTa or kWa = capacities leaving the fleet with public aid after 30 April 2004;

- GT100 or kW100 = capacities of vessels more than 100 GT entering the fleet with public aid granted after 30 April 2004;

- GTS = safety tonnage granted under provisions of Article 11(5) of Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002;

- Δ(GT-GRT) = balance as a result of the re-measurement of the fleet.

Table c) Reference levels at the end of 2005

– The baselines are the sum of the MAGP IV objectives for the mainland fleets in GT and kW. The reference levels at 1 January 2003, (R (GT03 and R(kW03), are fixed in annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1438/2003. Specific reference levels have been fixed for outermost regions in an appropriate legal framework.

– Table c) shows Member States’ compliance, during 2005, with the following formulae (Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1438/2003):

R(GTt) = R(GT03) - GTa – 0,35 GT100 + GTS + ΔR(GT-GRT)

R(kWt) = R(kW03) - kWa – 0,35 kW100

where:

R(GTt) or R(kWt) = The reference level in tonnage and power for the Member State’s fleet at 31 December 2005;

The term ΔR(GT-GRT) has not been included. This will only be done once the reference levels are updated to take into account the effect of the re-measurement of the fleet.

Note: Reference levels are not applicable to the new Member States in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 1242/2004.

Section d) Graphs

The continuous evolution of the capacity of the fleet in tonnage and power is compared graphically with the capacity ceilings calculated in accordance with Article 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No1438/2003 as explained above.

The capacity ceiling is fixed on the 1 January 2003 based on the capacity of the fleet on that date plus the capacity of the entries into the fleet decided before and that had not taken place on that date (baseline calculation in table a). After 1 January 2003, the fleet ceiling cannot increase (except for the so called safety tonnage GTs) and is reduced each time capacity is withdrawn from the fleet with public aid.

The capacity of the fleet follows generally a downward trend. Exceptionally, an increase may be seen and this may be due to,

a) Entries of capacity decided before the reform (transitional measures).

b) Exits without public aid whose replacement comes in some time later.

However, apparent decreases followed by an increase in capacity may also be due to declarations to the Community Fleet Register using incorrect codes.

Technical Annex 3 - Results of the outermost regions fleets managment

This annex shows Member States compliance at 31 December 2005, with the capacity levels for outermost regions in accordance with Council Regulation (EC) No 639/2004 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 2104/2004.

The reference levels for the outermost regions were fixed for each segment of the fleet on the 1 January 2003. At any later date, the reference level for each segment is calculated by deducting from the initial reference levels the capacity withdrawn with public aid for that particular segment.

It is in this way that the graphs presented below have been calculated. Each of the tables summarises the situation on 31 December 2005.
