| EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM | MEMORANDUM TA’ SPJEGAZZJONI |
| 1.CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL | 1.IL-KUNTEST TAL-PROPOSTA |
| Reasons for and objectives of the proposal | Raġunijiet għall-proposta u l-objettivi tagħha |
| The Common Fishery Policy (CFP) 1 objectives are to ensure that fishing and aquaculture activities are environmentally sustainable in the long term and are managed in a way that is consistent to achieve economic, social and employment benefits. Its success depends very much on the implementation of an effective control and enforcement system. The measures establishing a Union Fisheries Control System (FCS) for ensuring compliance with rules of the CFP are provided for in four different legal acts: 1) the Fisheries Control Regulation 2 ; 2) the Regulation establishing a European Fisheries Control Agency (EFCA) 3 ; 3) the Regulation establishing a system to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU Regulation) 4 ; and 4) the Regulation on the sustainable management of the external fishing fleets (SMEF) 5 . The proposal aims at revising the FCS, with the exception of the SMEF Regulation, which was recently revised. | L-objettivi tal-Politika Komuni tas-Sajd (PKS) 1 għandhom l-għan li jiżguraw li l-attivitajiet tas-sajd u tal-akkwakultura jkunu ambjentalment sostenibbli fit-tul u jkunu ġestiti b’mod konsistenti biex jinkisbu benefiċċji ekonomiċi, soċjali u tal-impjiegi. Is-suċċess ta’ din jiddependu ħafna mill-implimentazzjoni ta’ sistema effettiva ta’ kontroll u ta’ infurzar. Il-miżuri li jistabbilixxu Sistema ta’ Kontroll tas-Sajd (FCS) tal-Unjoni biex tiġi żgurata l-konformità mar-regoli tal-PKS huma pprovduti f’erba’ atti legali differenti: 1) ir-Regolament dwar il-Kontroll tas-Sajd 2 ; 2) ir-Regolament li jistabbilixxi Aġenzija Ewropea għall-Kontroll tas-Sajd (EFCA) 3 ; 3) ir-Regolament li jistabbilixxi sistema li tiġġieled kontra s-sajd illegali, mhux irrappurtat u mhux irregolat (ir-Regolament IUU) 4 ; u 4) ir-Regolament dwar il-ġestjoni sostenibbli tal-flotot esterni tas-sajd (SMEF) 5 . Il-proposta għandha l-għan li tirrevedi l-FCS, bl-eċċezzjoni tar-Regolament SMEF, li ġie rivedut riċentement. |
| With the exception of the SMEF regulation, which was recently revised, the current Union Fisheries Control System (FCS) was designed prior to the reformed Common Fisheries Policy 6 (CFP) and as such it is not fully coherent with it. In addition, the system reflects control strategies, methodologies and challenges of more than 10 years ago, and it is not equipped to effectively address current and future needs in terms of fisheries data and fleet control, to match the constant evolution of fishing practices and techniques and to take advantage of modern and more cost-effective control technologies and data exchange systems. The current system also does not reflect new and modern Union policies recently adopted, such as the plastic strategy, the digital single market strategy, and the international ocean governance. | Bl-eċċezzjoni tar-regolament SMEF, li ġie rivedut dan l-aħħar, is-Sistema ta’ Kontroll tas-Sajd (FCS) kurrenti tal-Unjoni tfasslet qabel il-Politika Komuni tas-Sajd 6 riformata (PKS) u, b’hekk, mhix koerenti għalkollox ma’ din. Barra minn hekk, is-sistema tirrifletti strateġiji, metodoloġiji u sfidi ta’ kontroll antiki aktar minn 10 snin, u mhix mgħammra biex tindirizza b’mod effettiv il-ħtiġijiet kurrenti u futuri f’termini tad-data dwar is-sajd u l-kontroll tal-flotot, biex iżżomm il-pass mal-evoluzzjoni kostanti tal-prattiki u tat-tekniki tas-sajd u biex tisfrutta teknoloġiji ta’ kontroll u sistemi ta’ skambju ta’ data moderni u aktar kosteffiċjenti. Is-sistema kurrenti lanqas ma tirrifletti l-politiki ġodda u moderni adottati dan l-aħħar fl-Unjoni, bħall-istrateġija dwar il-plastik, l-istrateġija għal suq uniku diġitali, u l-governanza internazzjonali tal-oċeani. |
| A recent Commission REFIT evaluation 7 , 8 , a special report of the European Court of Auditors 9 and a Resolution by the European Parliament 10 have all shown that the FCS has deficiencies and is overall not fit for purpose. | Evalwazzjoni REFIT riċenti tal-Kummissjoni 7 ” 8 , rapport speċjali tal-Qorti Ewropea tal-Awdituri 9 u Riżoluzzjoni mill-Parlament Ewropew 10 ilkoll urew li l-FCS għandha nuqqasijiet u b’mod ġenerali mhix idonea. |
| Several discussions and exchanges of view have taken place in the Council 11 , in the Parliament, in the Administrative Board of the European Fisheries Control Agency (EFCA) 12 , with Member States and with stakeholders since the publication of all these documents. Those discussions confirmed that there is unanimous agreement among the European Institutions and among direct stakeholders that the Fisheries Control System is not effective and efficient and that, as such, it is not entirely fit for purpose to sustain the achievements of the CFP objectives. Furthermore, shortcomings in the current regulatory framework were also identified by the REFIT Platform in June 2017 in its opinion on the submission by the Finnish Government Stakeholder survey on the control of EU fisheries 13 . | Fil-Kunsill 11 , fil-Parlament, fil-Bord Amministrattiv tal-Aġenzija Ewropea għall-Kontroll tas-Sajd (EFCA) 12 ), mal-Istati Membri u mal-partijiet ikkonċernati saru diversi diskussjonijiet u skambji tal-fehmiet mindu ġew ippubblikati dawn id-dokumenti kollha. Dawk id-diskussjonijiet ikkonfermaw li hemm qbil unanimu fost l-Istituzzjonijiet Ewropej u fost il-partijiet ikkonċernati diretti li s-Sistema ta’ Kontroll tas-Sajd mhix effettiva u effiċjenti u li, għaldaqstant, mhix idonea għalkollox biex issostni l-kisbiet tal-objettivi tal-PKS. Barra minn hekk, f’Ġunju 2017, fl-opinjoni tagħha dwar l-istħarriġ tal-Gvern Finlandiż fost il-Partijiet Ikkonċernati rigward il-kontroll tas-sajd tal-UE 13 , anki l-Pjattaforma REFIT identifikat nuqqasijiet fil-qafas regolatorju kurrenti. |
| The specific objectives of the proposal are to: 1) Bridge the gaps with the CFP and with other EU policies; 2) Simplify the legislative framework and reduce unnecessary administrative burden; 3) Improve availability, reliability and completeness of fisheries data and information, in particular of catch data, and allow exchange and sharing of information; and 4) Remove obstacles that hinder the development of a culture of compliance and the equitable treatment of operators within and across Member States. | L-objettivi speċifiċi tal-proposta huma li: 1) Jitneħħew id-diskrepanzi mal-PKS u ma’ politiki oħra tal-UE; 2) Jiġi ssimplifikat il-qafas leġiżlattiv u jitnaqqas il-piż amministrattiv żejjed; 3) Tittejjeb id-disponibbiltà, l-affidabilità u l-kompletezza tad-data u tal-informazzjoni dwar is-sajd, b’mod partikolari tad-data dwar il-qabdiet, u jkunu possibbli l-iskambju u l-kondiviżjoni ta’ informazzjoni; u 4) Jitneħħew l-ostakli li jxekklu l-iżvilupp ta’ kultura ta’ konformità u t-trattament ekwitabbli tal-operaturi fl-Istati Membri u bejniethom. |
| The proposal is one of the legislative initiatives under REFIT foreseen for adoption in 2018. | Il-proposta hi waħda mill-inizjattivi leġiżlattivi taħt REFIT previsti għall-adozzjoni fl-2018. |
| Consistency with existing policy provisions in the policy area | Konsistenza mad-dispożizzjonijiet ta’ politika eżistenti fil-qasam ta’ politika |
| The proposal is consistent with the overall legal framework established by the reformed CFP and it aims at bridging current gaps with it, mainly relating to the effective control of the landing obligation and to control of the fishing capacity. In addition, the proposal is also consistent with the Common Organisation of the Market commonly referred to as "CMO" 14 , insofar as it lays down a series of provisions for controls in the supply chain, including traceability provisions that are essential for fulfilling consumer information requirements. Finally, the proposal aims at implementing commitments recently taken by the Commission concerning in particular the fight against illegal fishing in the Joint Communication on Ocean Governance 15 . | Il-proposta hi konsistenti mal-qafas legali ġenerali stabbilit mill-PKS riformata u għandha l-għan li tneħħi d-diskrepanzi li hemm magħha, primarjament relatati mal-kontroll effettiv tal-obbligu ta’ ħatt l-art u mal-kontroll tal-kapaċità tas-sajd. Barra minn hekk, il-proposta hi konsistenti wkoll mal-Organizzazzjoni Komuni tas-Swieq, spiss imsejħa “OKS” 14 , hekk kif din tistabbilixxi sensiela ta’ dispożizzjonijiet għall-kontrolli fil-katina ta’ provvista, inklużi dispożizzjonijiet dwar it-traċċabilità li huma essenzjali biex jiġu ssodisfati r-rekwiżiti ta’ informazzjoni għall-konsumatur. Finalment, il-proposta għandha l-għan li timplimenta l-impenji meħuda riċentement mill-Kummissjoni rigward, b’mod partikolari, il-ġlieda kontra s-sajd illegali fil-Komunikazzjoni Konġunta dwar il-Governanza tal-Oċeani 15 . |
| Consistency with other Union policies | Konsistenza ma’ politiki oħra tal-Unjoni |
| The proposal not only maintains consistency with other Union policies, but also enhances the synergies with them, by supporting the implementation of: 1) the European Strategy for Plastics in a Circular Economy 16 , as far as fishing gears are concerned; 2) the Digital Single Market strategy 17 , through the promotion of digital solutions and interoperable systems; and 3) the stronger and renewed strategic partnership with the EU's outermost regions 18 , through reinforced control measures. Furthermore, the proposal aims at improving synergies with the food and feed law, through better alignment of definitions, and with the environmental legislation (Habitat Directive), insofar as it empower Member States to effectively control fishing activities in fisheries restricted areas. | Il-proposta mhix biss iżżomm il-konsistenza ma’ politiki oħra tal-Unjoni, talli ssaħħaħ ukoll is-sinerġiji magħhom, billi ssostni l-implimentazzjoni ta’: 1) l-Istrateġija Ewropea għall-Plastiks f’Ekonomija Ċirkolari 16 , f’dak li għandu x’jaqsam mal-irkapti tas-sajd; 2) l-istrateġija għal Suq Uniku Diġitali 17 , permezz tal-promozzjoni ta’ soluzzjonijiet diġitali u ta’ sistemi interoperabbli; u 3) is-sħubija strateġika msaħħa u mġedda mar-reġjuni ultraperiferiċi tal-UE 18 , permezz ta’ miżuri ta’ kontroll imsaħħa. Barra minn hekk, il-proposta għandha l-għan li ttejjeb is-sinerġiji mal-liġi dwar l-ikel u l-għalf, permezz ta’ allinjament aħjar tad-definizzjonijiet, u mal-leġiżlazzjoni ambjentali (id-Direttiva dwar il-Ħabitats), hekk kif tagħti s-setgħa lill-Istati Membri biex jikkontrollaw b’mod effettiv l-attivitajiet tas-sajd f’żoni ristretti għas-sajd. |
| 2.LEGAL BASIS, SUBSIDIARITY AND PROPORTIONALITY | 2.BAŻI ĠURIDIKA, SUSSIDJARJETÀ U PROPORZJONALITÀ |
| Legal basis | Bażi ġuridika |
| The proposal is based on Article 43(2) of the TFEU on establishing provisions necessary for the pursuit of the objectives of the CFP, which is an area of exclusive EU competence pursuant to Article 3(d) of the Treaty. | Il-proposta hi bbażata fuq l-Artikolu 43(2) tat-TFUE dwar l-istabbiliment tad-dispożizzjonijiet neċessarji għall-ilħuq tal-objettivi tal-PKS, li hu qasam ta’ kompetenza esklużiva tal-UE skont l-Artikolu 3(d) tat-Trattat. |

| A comprehensive evaluation of the implementation of the Control Regulation and its impacts on the CFP, covering the period 2010-2016, was carried out as part of the REFIT exercise and its results published in the Report from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council 19 and the accompany Staff Working Document 'REFIT Evaluation of the impact of the fisheries regulation' 20 . | Evalwazzjoni komprensiva tal-implimentazzjoni tar-Regolament dwar il-Kontroll u l-impatti ta’ dan fuq il-PKS, li tkopri l-perjodu 2010-2016, saret bħala parti mill-eżerċizzju REFIT u r-riżultati ta’ din ġew ippubblikati fir-Rapport mill-Kummissjoni lill-Parlament Ewropew u lill-Kunsill 19 u d-Dokument ta' Ħidma tal-Persunal li akkumpanjah “REFIT Evalwazzjoni tal-impatt tar-regolament tas-sajd” 20 . |
| The evaluation confirmed that the Control Regulation is highly relevant for ensuring compliance with the CFP. The text adopted in 2009 tackled the main shortcomings of the previous system, contributing to step up the overall level of compliance with the CFP, to improve communication, exchange and data sharing among the various stakeholders, to generally improve the quality and quantity of fisheries data, and to foster the level playing field among operators. The evaluation however also showed that more needs to be done and that the current legislative framework is not entirely fit for purpose, thereby prompting its revision: | L-evalwazzjoni kkonfermat li r-Regolament dwar il-Kontroll hu ferm rilevanti biex tiġi żgurata konformità mal-PKS. It-test adottat fl-2009 indirizza n-nuqqasijiet ewlenin tas-sistema preċedenti, billi kkontribwixxa biex jiżdied il-livell ġenerali ta’ konformità mal-PKS, biex jittejbu l-komunikazzjoni, l-iskambju u l-qsim ta’ data fost id-diversi partijiet ikkonċernati, biex itejjeb b’mod ġenerali l-kwalità u l-kwantità ta’ data dwar is-sajd, u biex irawwem kundizzjonijiet ekwi fost l-operaturi. Madankollu, l-evalwazzjoni wriet ukoll li għad hemm aktar xi jsir u li l-qafas leġiżlattiv kurrenti mhuwiex idoneu għalkollox, u b’hekk hemm bżonn li jiġi rivedut għaliex: |
| ·Enforcement rules not deterrent enough; | ·Ir-regoli ta’ infurzar mhumiex deterrenti biżżejjed; |
| ·Inadequate provisions for fisheries data; | ·Id-dispożizzjonijiet huma inadegwati għad-data dwar is-sajd; |
| ·Complexity of the legislative framework and ambiguity of legal provisions; | ·Il-qafas leġiżlattiv hu kumpless u d-dispożizzjonijiet legali huma ambigwi; |
| ·Lack of measures to control new provisions of the reformed CFP and lack of synergies with other policies. | ·Hemm nuqqas ta’ miżuri għall-kontroll tad-dispożizzjonijiet il-ġodda tal-PKS riformata u nuqqas ta’ sinerġiji ma’ politiki oħra. |
| Stakeholder consultations | Konsultazzjonijiet mal-partijiet ikkonċernati |
| An extensive public consultation was conducted in the framework of the REFIT evaluation in 2016. The results are published on the Europa webpage 21 . Additional targeted consultations were later carried out with the aim to (i) agree on the problems identified by the European Commission in the REFIT evaluation; (ii) agree on the need for action; and (iii) collect inputs and receive feedback from as many stakeholders as possible on the forward-looking elements of the inception impact assessment and on the specific proposed actions proposed by the Commission to address the issues identified. | Fil-kuntest tal-evalwazzjoni REFIT, fl-2016 saret konsultazzjoni pubblika estensiva. Ir-riżultati huma ppubblikati fuq il-paġna web Europa 21 . Aktar tard saru konsultazzjonijiet immirati addizzjonali bl-għan li (i) jintlaħaq qbil dwar il-problemi identifikati mill-Kummissjoni Ewropea fl-evalwazzjoni REFIT; (ii) jintlaħaq qbil dwar il-ħtieġa ta’ azzjoni; u (iii) jinġabru l-kontributi u jinġabar feedback mill-akbar numru ta’ partijiet ikkonċernati possibbli dwar l-elementi li jħarsu ’l quddiem tal-valutazzjoni tal-impatt tat-tnedija u dwar l-azzjonijist proposti speċifiċi proposti mill-Kummissjoni biex jiġu indirizzati l-kwistjonijiet identifikati. |
| The consultations involved Member States competent authorities, Advisory Councils, EU and national organisations and associations, environmental NGOs, the European Fisheries Control Agency (EFCA) and its Administrative Board, the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA), FRONTEX (sea border control). Discussions were held in several different fora to ensure a broad and exhaustive coverage of all relevant stakeholders, including the Council Working Party on Internal and External Fisheries Policy, and the PECH Committee of the European Parliament. | Il-konsultazzjonijiet involvew l-awtoritajiet kompetenti tal-Istati Membri, il-Kunsilli Konsultattivi, organizzazzjonijiet u assoċjazzjonijiet tal-UE u nazzjonali, NGOs ambjentali, l-Aġenzija Ewropea għall-Kontroll tas-Sajd (EFCA) u l-Bord Amministrattiv ta’ din, l-Aġenzija Ewropea għas-Sigurtà Marittima (EMSA), il-FRONTEX (kontroll fil-fruntieri tal-baħar). Saru diskussjonijiet f’diversi fora differenti biex tiġi żgurata kopertura wiesgħa u eżawrijenti tal-partijiet ikkonċernati rilevanti kollha, inkluż il-Grupp ta’ Ħidma tal-Kunsill dwar il-Politika Interna u Esterna tas-Sajd, u l-Kumitat PECH tal-Parlament Ewropew. |
| There was a common agreement among stakeholders on the need to revise the EU fisheries control system. Contributions and feedbacks received highlighted deficiencies in the implementation of the Fisheries Control Regulation, as well as in some of its provisions. Stakeholders generally supported the Commission in tackling the following major issues: alignment to the CFP, discrepancies between Member States' application of the rules, complexity of the legislative framework and lack of clarity of some provisions regarding the sanctioning system, availability, quality and sharing of data, the control of small vessels and of the landing obligation, as well as need to improve synergies with other legislations, in particular the IUU regulation, environment law and food law. | Intlaħaq qbil komuni fost il-partijiet ikkonċernati dwar il-ħtieġa li tiġi riveduta s-sistema ta’ kontroll tas-sajd tal-UE. Il-kontribuzzjonijiet u l-feedbacks li waslu xeħtu dawl fuq in-nuqqasijiet fl-implimentazzjoni tar-Regolament dwar il-Kontroll tas-Sajd, kif ukoll f’uħud mid-dispożizzjonijiet ta’ dan. Il-partijiet ikkonċernati ġeneralment taw appoġġ lill-Kummissjoni fl-indirizzar tal-kwistjonijiet ewlenin li ġejjin: allinjament mal-PKS, diskrepanzi bejn l-applikazzjoni mill-Istati Membri tar-regoli, il-kumplessità tal-qafas leġiżlattiv u n-nuqqas ta’ ċarezza ta’ wħud mid-dispożizzjonijiet rigward is-sistema ta’ sanzjonar, id-disponibbiltà, il-kwalità u l-qsim ta’ data, il-kontroll ta’ bastimenti żgħar u tal-obbligu ta’ ħatt l-art, kif ukoll il-ħtieġa li jittejbu s-sinerġiji ma’ leġiżlazzjonijiet oħra, b’mod partikolari mar-regolament IUU, mal-liġi dwar l-ambjent u mal-liġi dwar l-ikel. |
| Contributions also highlighted issues such as simplification, regionalisation, level playing field and the need for cost-effective solutions. Simplification and legal clarification of the current control rules were strongly encouraged by stakeholders, although certain exemptions from the main rules are deemed as sometimes necessary. Regionalisation was seen as an important concept by some stakeholders, while it was considered as a concept not in line with the spirit and the objectives of a Union control policy by several others. The need to create a level playing field among fishery operators and Member States across the EU was considered critical by all stakeholders. Lastly, stakeholders indicated that, whenever possible, reduction of administrative burden and cost-efficiency should be guiding principles of the revision process. | Il-kontribuzzjonijiet xeħtu wkoll dwak fuq kwistjonijiet bħas-simplifikazzjoni, ir-reġjonalizzazzjoni, il-kundizzjonijiet ekwi u l-ħtieġa ta’ soluzzjonijiet kosteffiċjenti. Is-simplifikazzjoni u l-kjarifika legali tar-regoli kurrenti dwar il-kontroll tħeġġu ferm mill-partijiet ikkonċernati, għad li ċerti eżenzjonijiet mir-regoli ewlenin kultant huma meqjusa bħala neċessarji. Ir-reġjonalizzazzjoni tqieset bħala kunċett importanti minn ċerti partijiet ikkonċernati, filwaqt li tqieset li hi kunċett li mhuwiex allinjat mal-ispirtu u mal-objettivi ta’ politika ta’ kontroll tal-Unjoni minn diversi oħrajn. Il-ħtieġa li jinħolqu kundizzjonijiet ekwi fost l-operaturi tas-sajd u l-Istati Membri madwar l-UE tqieset kritika mill-partijiet ikkonċernati kollha. Finalment, il-partijiet ikkonċernati indikaw li, kull fejn possibbli, it-tnaqqis tal-piż amministrattiv u l-kosteffiċjenza għandhom ikunu l-prinċipji ta’ gwida tal-proċess ta’ reviżjoni. |
| Regarding the proposed policy options, the vast majority of stakeholders strongly supported or had a preference towards targeted amendment of the Fisheries Control System, including the Fisheries Control Regulation, the IUU Regulation and the EFCA founding Regulation. | Rigward l-għażliet politiċi proposti, il-maġġoranza vasta tal-partijiet ikkonċernati tat appoġġ kbir jew uriet preferenza lejn emenda mmirata tas-Sistema ta’ Kontroll tas-Sajd, inkluż ir-Regolament dwar il-Kontroll tas-Sajd, ir-Regolament IUU u r-Regolament li waqqaf l-EFCA. |
| Annex 2 of the Impact Assessment provides a summary of the conclusions from all these consultations, while Annex 10 a list of written contributions received from stakeholders. The original written contributions sent by stakeholders and the minutes of the above mentioned workshops and seminars are published on the European Commission website 22 . | L-Anness 2 tal-Valutazzjoni tal-Impatt jipprovdi sommarju tal-konklużjonijiet minn dawn il-konsultazzjonijiet kollha, filwaqt li l-Anness 10 lista ta’ kontribuzzjonijiet bil-miktub li waslu mingħand il-partijiet ikkonċernati. Il-kontribuzzjonijiet oriġinali bil-miktub mibgħuta mill-partijiet ikkonċernati u l-minuti tas-sessjonijiet ta’ ħidma u s-seminars imsemmija hawn fuq huma ppubblikati fuq is-sit web tal-Kummissjoni Ewropea 22 . |
| Collection and use of expertise | Ġbir u użu tal-għarfien espert |
| The legal proposal and the impact assessment are based on a vast body of material and studies, as referenced in Annex 1 of the Impact Assessment 23 . | Il-proposta legali u l-valutazzjoni tal-impatt huma bbażati fuq korp vast ta’ materjal u ta’ studji, kif imsemmi fl-Anness 1 tal-Valutazzjoni tal-Impatt 23 . |
| External expertise was also used as support for the Impact Assessment for assessing the impacts of the policy options proposed and their comparison. The external study was conducted in autumn 2017 24 to assess the environmental, economic, social impacts of the policy options, changes in administrative burden, and simplification benefits and to compare the various options in terms of efficiency, effectiveness, coherence, with the recommendations of relevant Institutions. | L-għarfien espert estern intuża wkoll bħala appoġġ għall-Valutazzjoni tal-Impatt biex jiġu vvalutati l-impatti tal-għażliet politiċi proposti u t-tqabbil ta’ dawn. L-istudju estern sar fil-ħarifa tal-2017 24 biex jivvaluta l-impatti ambjentali, ekonomiċi u soċjali tal-għażliet politiċi, it-tibdiliet fil-piż amministrattiv, u l-benefiċċji tas-simplifikazzjoni u jqabbel l-għażliet varji f’termini ta’ effiċjenza, ta’ effettività, ta’ koerenza, mar-rakkomandazzjonijiet tal-Istituzzjonijiet rilevanti. |
| Impact assessment | Valutazzjoni tal-impatt |
| Three policy options were analysed through the Impact Assessment process: (1) Baseline, i.e. no policy change but full enforcement of current rules; (2) Option 1: targeted amendments of the Fisheries Control Regulation; (3) Option 2: targeted amendments of the Fisheries Control System (in particular Regulations on: Fisheries Control, Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing and European Fisheries Control Agency). Option 2 showed markedly better performance overall compared to the other options and was selected as the preferred one. | Tliet għażliet politiċi ġew analizzati permezz tal-proċess ta’ Valutazzjoni tal-Impatt: (1) Linja bażi, jiġifieri ebda tibdil fil-politika iżda infurzar sħiħ tar-regoli kurrenti; (2) Għażla 1: emendi mmirati tar-Regolament dwar il-Kontroll tas-Sajd; (3) Għażla 2: emendi mmirati tas-Sistema ta’ Kontroll tas-Sajd (b’mod partikolari r-Regolamenti dwar: il-Kontroll tas-Sajd, is-Sajd Illegali, Mhux Irrappurtat u Mhux Irregolat u l-Aġenzija Ewropea għall-Kontroll tas-Sajd). L-għażla 2 uriet prestazzjoni ġenerali ferm imtejba meta mqabbla mal-għażliet l-oħra u ntgħażlet bħala dik preferuta. |
| Positive environmental impacts of the preferred option would encompass: reduction of overfishing, elimination of discards at sea, healthier fish stocks and proper control of marine protected areas. Main socio-economic benefits include: increased wages and competitiveness of fishing industry, especially for the small fleet; promotion of job creation (especially in ICT); improved compliance with the CFP and equal treatment of fishers. | L-impatti ambjentali pożittivi tal-għażla preferuta jkunu jinkludu: tnaqqis tas-sajd eċċessiv, eliminazzjoni tal-iskartar fil-baħar, stokkijiet ta’ ħut aktar b’saħħithom u kontroll xieraq ta’ żoni protetti tal-baħar. Il-benefiċċji soċjoekonomiċi ewlenin jinkludu: pagi u kompetittività msaħħa tal-industrija tas-sajd, speċjalment għall-flotta ż-żgħira; promozzjoni tal-ħolqien tax-xogħol (speċjalment fl-ICT); konformità mtejba mal-PKS u trattament indaqs tas-sajjieda. |
| The costs would be ‘proportionate’ to the benefits achieved (especially considering cost savings) and cost-effective, with considerable benefits outweighing the relatively modest changes in costs. Member States authorities would also benefit from cost savings (157 M€ over a five years, compared to the baseline scenario) through simplification and interoperability. | L-ispejjeż ikunu “proporjonati” għall-benefiċċji miksuba (speċjalment fid-dawl tal-iffrankar tal-ispejjeż) u kosteffiċjenti, b’benefiċċji konsiderevoli li jisbqu t-tibdiliet relattivament modesti fl-ispejjeż. L-awtoritajiet tal-Istati Membri jkunu jibbenefikaw ukoll mill-iffrankar tal-ispejjeż (EUR 157 miljun fuq ħames snin, meta mqabbla max-xenarju bażi) permezz ta’ simplifikazzjoni u ta’ interoperabbiltà. |
| No negative social or environmental impacts are expected as a result of the preferred option. | Ma hu mistenni jseħħ ebda impatt soċjali jew ambjentali negattiv minħabba l-għażla preferuta. |
| The impact assessment was submitted to the Regulatory Scrutiny Board on 8 January 2018 for quality review. The Board analysed the draft report and issued a positive Opinion accompanied with its recommendations for improvement on 9 February 2018 25 . | Fit-8 ta’ Jannar 2018 il-valutazzjoni tal-impatt ġiet sottomessa lill-Bord tal-Iskrutinju Regolatorju għar-rieżami tal-kwalità.

| An overview of the Board's recommendations and the changes made compared to the earlier draft is provided in Annex 1 to the Impact Assessment. | Ħarsa ġenerali lejn ir-rakkomandazzjonijiet tal-Bord u t-tibdiliet li saru meta mqabbla mal-abbozz preċedenti hi pprovduta fl-Anness 1 għall-Valutazzjoni tal-Impatt. |
| Regulatory fitness and simplification | Idoneità regolatorja u simplifikazzjoni |
| The actions and amendments foreseen under the preferred Option would strongly support the reduction in unnecessary administrative burden for the public authorities and, considering that most of the new costs are associated with ICT development and one-off investments, also in the long term for the whole EU. The preferred Option is expected to simplify and drastically reduce the administrative burden of the current system, with cost savings estimated at 157 M € over 5 years compared to the baseline. It should be noted that while some of the savings could be monetised, some others have been identified but it was not possible to quantify them. | L-azzjonijiet u l-emendi previsti taħt l-Għażla preferuta jkunu jappoġġjaw bis-saħħa t-tnaqqis fil-piż amministrattiv żejjed għall-awtoritajiet pubbliċi u, meta jitqies li ħafna mill-ispejjeż il-ġodda huma assoċjati mal-iżvilupp tal-ICT u ma’ investimenti ta’ darba, fuq terminu twil l-appoġġ jilħaq ukoll lill-UE kollha. L-Għażla preferuta hi mistennija tissimplifika u tnaqqas b’mod drastiku l-piż amministrattiv tas-sistema kurrenti, bl-iffrankar tal-ispejjeż stmat għal EUR 157 miljun tul 5 snin meta mqabbla mal-linja bażi. Ta’ min jinnota li filwaqt li wħud mill-ispejjeż iffrankati jistgħu jiġu monetizzati, oħrajn ġew identifikati iżda ma kienx possibbli li jiġu kkwantifikati. |
| Any additional burden for small operators (small-scale fishermen) will be avoided by the introduction of easy and cost-effective reporting systems for fishery data, taking advantage of affordable and widely available mobile phones technologies. Furthermore, the introduction of new ICT will boost innovation and provide new avenues for job creation for SMEs and starts-up. | Kwalunkwe piż addizzjonali għal operaturi żgħar (sajjieda fuq skala żgħira) se jiġi evitat bl-introduzzjoni ta’ sistemi ta’ rapportar faċli u kosteffiċjenti għad-data dwar is-sajd, bl-isfruttar ta’ teknoloġiji tal-mowbajls affordabbli u ferm mifruxa. Barra minn hekk, l-introduzzjoni ta’ ICT ġodda se tagħti spinta lill-innovazzjoni u tipprovdi twieqi ġodda għall-ħolqien tax-xogħol għall-SMEs u għan-negozji ġodda. |
| Fundamental rights | Drittijiet fundamentali |
| The proposal has no consequences for the protection of fundamental rights. The proposal clarifies the access to data and the purposes for processing of personal data. Processing of personal data will be performed in way that the obligations on personal data protection laid down in Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and the regulation replacing Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council are respected. | Il-proposta ma għandhiex konsegwenzi għall-protezzjoni tad-drittijiet fundamentali. Il-proposta tiċċara l-aċċess għad-data u l-iskopijiet għall-proċessar ta’ data personali. Il-proċessar ta’ data personali ser isir b’mod li jiġu rrispettati l-obbligi dwar il-protezzjoni ta’ data personali stabbiliti fir-Regolament (UE) 2016/679 u fir-regolament li jissostitwixxi r-Regolament (KE) Nru 45/2001 tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill. |
| 4.BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS | 4.IMPLIKAZZJONIJIET BAĠITARJI |
| There is no impact on commitment appropriations since no modification is proposed to the maximum amounts of European Structural and Investment Funds financing provided for in the operational programmes for the programming period 2014-2020. | Il-proposta mhu ser ikollha l-ebda impatt fuq l-approprjazzjonijiet ta’ impenn, billi mhi qed tiġi proposta l-ebda bidla fl-ammonti massimi tal-finanzjament mill-Fondi Strutturali u ta’ Investiment Ewropej previsti fil-programmi operazzjonali għall-perjodu ta’ programmazzjoni 2014-2020. |

Għaldaqstant jitħassar l-Anness 1 dwar il-parametri referenzjarji tal-ispezzjoni għall-pjanijiet pluriennali. Il-programmi nazzjonali ta’ kontroll għandhom jinkludu wkoll il-kontroll tas-sajd rikreattiv. | Huma meħtieġa rapporti annwali dwar l-ispezzjonijiet u l-kontrolli nazzjonali. |
| TOPIC 4: SYNERGIES WITH OTHER POLICIES | SUĠĠETT 4: SINERĠIJI MA’ POLITIKI OĦRA |
| Fishing gears | Amended:14, 43, 55 | The reporting of lost fishing gear is eased and improved, through the use of logbooks (electronic) for all categories of vessels. | The current derogation applicable to vessels < 12m to carry on board the necessary equipment for the retrieval of lost gear is removed. | Conditions are set to lay down Union provisions on the marking and control of fishing gears for recreational fisheries. | Irkapti tas-sajd | Emendati:14, 43, 55 | Ir-rapportar ta’ rkaptu tas-sajd mitluf hu ffaċilitat u mtejjeb, bl-użu ta’ ġurnali (elettroniċi) ta’ abbord għall-kategoriji kollha ta’ bastimenti. | Titneħħa d-deroga kurrenti applikabbli għall-bastimenti < 12-il m biex iġorru abbord it-tagħmir neċessarju għas-sejbien ta’ rkaptu mitluf. | Huma stipulati kundizzjonijiet biex jiġu stabbiliti dispożizzjonijiet tal-Unjoni dwar il-markar u l-kontroll tal-irkapti tas-sajd għas-sajd rikreattiv. |
| Fishing restricted areas | Amended: 4, 50 | The definition of 'fishing restricted areas' and the provisions of Article 50 are amended to take into account fishing restricted areas under the sovereignty or jurisdiction of a Member States as well as outside EU waters. | Żoni ristretti għas-sajd | Emendati: 4, 50 | Id-definizzjoni ta’ “żoni ristretti għas-sajd” u d-dispożizzjonijiet tal-Artikolu 50 huma emendati biex jittieħdu f’kunsiderazzjoni ż-żoni ristretti għas-sajd taħt is-sovranità jew il-ġurisdizzjoni tal-Istati Membri kif ukoll barra mill-ibħra tal-UE. |

| Digitalisation of IUU catch certificate (CATCH) | New: 12a to 12e | The Catch Certification Scheme, as set out in Chapter III of Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008, is paper-based and as a result not efficient. The amendments to the Union Catch Certification Scheme provide for with the establishment of a data base for the management of catch certificates (CATCH) based on the Information Management System for Official Controls, allowing for risk based controls, reducing opportunities of fraudulent imports and easing the administrative burden of Member States. | The operational functions of the CATCH will be developed in different phases. Implementing and delegated powers are conferred on the Commission relating to the functioning and further development of the CATCH. | Diġitalizzazzjoni taċ-ċertifikat tal-qabdiet IUU (CATCH) | Ġodda: 12a sa 12e | L-Iskema ta’ Ċertifikazzjoni tal-Qabda, kif stabbilita fil-Kapitolu III tar-Regolament (KE) Nru 1005/2008, hi bbażata fuq il-karti u, għalhekk, mhix effiċjenti. L-emendi għall-Iskema tal-Unjoni ta’ Ċertifikazzjoni tal-Qabda jipprovdu għall-istabbiliment ta’ bażi ta’ data għall-ġestjoni taċ-ċertifikati tal-qabdiet (CATCH) ibbażata fuq is-Sistema ta’ Ġestjoni tal-Informazzjoni għal Kontrolli Uffiċjali, biex ikunu jistgħu jsiru kontrolli bbażati fuq ir-riskju, jitnaqqsu l-opportunitajiet ta’ importazzjonijiet frawdolenti u jitħaffef il-piż amministrattiv tal-Istati Membri. | Il-funzjonijiet operazzjonali tal-CATCH se jiġu żviluppati f’fażijiet differenti. Il-Kummissjoni hi mogħtija setgħat ta’ implimentazzjoni u delegati b’rabta mal-funzjonament u mal-iżvilupp ulterjuri tal-CATCH. |

| REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL | REGOLAMENT TAL-PARLAMENT EWROPEW U TAL-KUNSILL |
| amending Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009, and amending Council Regulations (EC) No 768/2005, (EC) No 1967/2006, (EC) No 1005/2008, and Regulation (EU) No 2016/1139 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards fisheries control | li jemenda r-Regolament tal-Kunsill (KE) Nru 1224/2009, u li jemenda r-Regolamenti tal-Kunsill (KE) Nru 768/2005, (KE) Nru 1967/2006, (KE) Nru 1005/2008, u r-Regolament (UE) Nru 2016/1139 tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill fir-rigward tal-kontroll tas-sajd |
| THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, | IL-PARLAMENT EWROPEW U L-KUNSILL TAL-UNJONI EWROPEA, |
| Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 43(2) thereof, | Wara li kkunsidraw it-Trattat dwar il-Funzjonament tal-Unjoni Ewropea u, b’mod partikolari, l-Artikolu 43(2) tiegħu, |
| Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission, | Wara li kkunsidraw il-proposta mill-Kummissjoni Ewropea, |
| After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments, | Wara t-trażmissjoni tal-abbozz tal-att leġiżlattiv lill-parlamenti nazzjonali, |
| After consulting the European Data Protection Supervisor, | Wara konsultazzjoni mal-Kontrollur Ewropew għall-Protezzjoni tad-Data, |
| Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee 26 , | Wara li kkunsidraw l-opinjoni tal-Kumitat Ekonomiku u Soċjali Ewropew 26 , |
| Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions 27 , | Wara li kkunsidraw l-opinjoni tal-Kumitat tar-Reġjuni 27 , |
| Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure, | Waqt li jaġixxu skont il-proċedura ordinarja leġiżlattiva, |
| Whereas: | Billi: |
| (1)The common fisheries policy has been reformed by Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and Council 28 . The objectives of the common fisheries policy and the requirements for fisheries control and enforcement are set out in Articles 2 and 36 of that Regulation. Its successful implementation depends on the effective and up-to-date control and enforcement system. | (1)Il-Politika Komuni tas-Sajd saritilha riforma permezz tar-Regolament (UE) Nru 1380/2013 tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill 28 . L-objettivi tal-politika komuni tas-sajd u r-rekwiżiti għall-kontroll tas-sajd u għall-infurzar huma stabbiliti fl-Artikoli 2 u 36 ta’ dak ir-Regolament. L-implimentazzjoni b’suċċess ta’ din tiddependi mis-sistema effettiva u aġġornata ta’ kontroll u ta’ infurzar. |
| (2)Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 29 established a Union fisheries control system which provides inter alia for monitoring centres, tracking of fishing vessels, catch reporting obligations, prior notifications, authorisations tranship in third countries, publication of fisheries closures, control of fishing capacities, national control programmes, control of recreational fisheries , controls in the supply chain of fisheries and aquaculture products, weighing of fisheries products, transport documents, landing declarations, sales notes and take-over declarations, inspections and audits, sanctioning of infringements and access to data. | (2)Ir-Regolament tal-Kunsill (KE) Nru 1224/2009 29 stabbilixxa sistema ta’ kontroll tas-sajd tal-Unjoni li tipprovdi fost l-oħrajn għal ċentri ta’ monitoraġġ, għat-traċċar ta’ bastimenti tas-sajd, għal obbligi ta’ rapportar tal-qabdiet, għal notifiki minn qabel, għal awtorizzazzjonijiet għal trasbordi f’pajjiżi terzi, għall-pubblikazzjoni tal-għeluq taż-żoni tas-sajd, għall-kontroll tal-kapaċitajiet tas-sajd, għal programmi nazzjonali ta’ kontroll, għall-kontroll tas-sajd rikreattiv, għal kontrolli fil-katina ta’ provvista ta’ prodotti tas-sajd u tal-akkwakultura, għall-użin ta’ prodotti tas-sajd, għad-dokumenti tat-trasport, għad-dikjarazzjonijiet tal-ħatt l-art, għan-noti tal-bejgħ u għad-dikjarazzjonijiet ta’ akkwiżizzjoni, għal spezzjonijiet u awditi, għas-sanzjonar ta’ ksur u għall-aċċess għad-data. |
| (3)Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 was, however, designed prior to the adoption of the new common fisheries policy. It should therefore be amended in order to better address the requirements for the control and enforcement of the common fisheries policy in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 and to take advantage of modern and more cost-effective control technologies. | (3)Madankollu, ir-Regolament (KE) Nru 1224/2009 tfassal qabel l-adozzjoni tal-politika komuni tas-sajd il-ġdida. Għaldaqstant, għandu jiġi emendat biex jindirizza aħjar ir-rekwiżiti għall-kontroll u għall-infurzar tal-politika komuni tas-sajd f’konformità mar-Regolament (UE) Nru 1380/2013 u jisfrutta teknoloġiji moderni u aktar kosteffiċjenti ta’ kontroll. |
| (4)In Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009, reference should be made to the definitions in Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 and Regulation (EU) No 1379/2013 of the European Parliament and Council 30 . In the interest of clarity and consistency some definitions set in Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 should be deleted or amended and new definitions should be added. | (4)Fir-Regolament (EK) Nru 1224/2009, għandha ssir refrenza għad-definizzjonijiet fir-Regolament (UE) Nru 1380/2013 u fir-Regolament (UE) Nru 1379/2013 tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill 30 . Fl-interess ta’ ċarezza u ta’ konsistenza, ċerti definizzjonijiet stabbiliti fir-Regolament (KE) Nru 1224/2009 għandhom jitħassru jew jiġu emendati u għandhom jiżdiedu definizzjonijiet ġodda. |
| (5)The definition of ‘rules of the common fisheries policy’ should be amended to clarify that its scope covers all Union law applicable in the fisheries sector, including rules on technical and conservation measures for marine biological resources, on management and control of Union fleets exploiting such resources, on the processing and marketing of fishery and aquaculture products, the Union system to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing and international agreements concluded by the Union | (5)Id-definizzjoni ta’ “regoli tal-politika komuni tas-sajd” għandha tiġi emendata biex jiġi ċċarat li l-kamp ta’ applikazzjoni tagħha jkopri d-dritt applikabbli kollu tal-Unjoni fis-settur tas-sajd, inklużi regoli dwar miżuri tekniċi u ta’ konservazzjoni għal riżorsi bijoloġiċi marini, dwar il-ġestjoni u l-kontroll tal-flotot tal-Unjoni li jużaw it-tali riżorsi, dwar il-proċessar u l-kummerċjalizzazzjoni tal-prodotti tas-sajd u tal-akkwakultura, is-sistema tal-Unjoni għall-prevenzjoni, għad-deterrenza u għall-eliminazzjoni tas-sajd illegali, mhux irrappurtat u mhux irregolat (IUU) u l-ftehimiet internazzjonali konklużi mill-Unjoni. |
| (6)The terms ‘vessel monitoring system data’ should be replaced by the clearer expression ‘vessel position data’. The definition of ‘vessel position data’ should no longer refer to transmission by satellite-tracking devices, as now different technologies to track vessels and transmit vessel position data are available. | (6)It-termini “data tas-sistema ta’ monitoraġġ tal-bastimenti” għandhom jiġu ssostitwiti bl-espressjoni aktar ċara “data dwar il-pożizzjoni tal-bastimenti”. Id-definizzjoni ta’ “data dwar il-pożizzjoni tal-bastimenti” ma għandhiex tibqa’ tirreferi għat-trażmissjoni b’apparati bi traċċar satellitari, peress li llum hemm teknoloġiji differenti għat-traċċar tal-bastimenti u għat-trażmissjoni tad-data dwar il-pożizzjoni tal-bastimenti. |
| (7)The definition of ‘lot’ should be aligned to the definition of ‘lot’ set out in the food law. | (7)Id-definizzjoni ta’ “lott” għandha tiġi allinjata mad-definizzjoni ta’ “lott” stabbilita fil-liġi dwar l-ikel. |
| (8)The definitions of ‘multiannual plans’ should be updated to take into account the provisions of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 on multiannual plans. | (8)Id-definizzjonijiet ta’ “pjanijiet pluriennali” għandhom jiġu aġġornati biex jieħdu f’kunsiderazzjoni d-dispożizzjonijiet tar-Regolament (UE) Nru 1380/2013 dwar il-pjanijiet pluriennali. |
| (9)In the definitions of ‘fishing licence’, 'fishing restricted areas' and 'recreational fisheries', the terms ‘marine living aquatic resources’ should be replaced by ‘marine biological resources’ in order to align that definition to Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013. | (9)Fid-definizzjonijiet ta’ “liċenzja tas-sajd”, “żoni ristretti għas-sajd” u “sajd rikreattiv”, it-termini “riżorsi akkwatiċi marini ħajjin” għandhom jiġu ssostitwiti b’“riżorsi bijoloġiċi marini” biex dik id-definizzjoni tiġi allinjata mar-Regolament (UE) Nru 1380/2013. |
| (10)A definition of 'fishing vessel' is provided in Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 and includes vessels equipped for commercial exploitation of marine biological resources such as catching vessels, support vessels, fish processing vessels, vessels engaged in transhipment and carrier vessels equipped for the transportation of fisheries products, with the exception of container vessels. The definition 'fishing vessel' in Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 should therefore be deleted. | (10)Definizzjoni ta’ “bastimenti tas-sajd” hi pprovduta fir-Regolament (UE) Nru 1380/2013 u tinkludi bastimenti mgħammra għal użu kummerċjali ta’ riżorsi bijoloġiċi marini bħal bastimenti tal-qbid, bastimenti ta’ appoġġ, bastimenti ta’ proċessar tal-ħut, bastimenti involuti fit-trasbord u bastimenti trasportaturi mgħammra għat-trasportar ta’ prodotti tas-sajd, bl-eċċezzjoni ta’ bastimenti tal-kontejners. Għaldaqstant, id-definizzjoni “bastiment tas-sajd” fir-Regolament (KE) Nru 1224/2009 għandha titħassar. |
| (11)In order to enhance the enforcement of the rules of the common fisheries policy, new definitions should be added for ‘catching vessel’ and ‘slipping’. | (11)Biex jissaħħaħ l-infurzar tar-regoli tal-politika komuni tas-sajd, għandhom jiddaħħlu definizzjonijiet ġodda għal “bastiment tal-qbid” u għal “tħarrib”. |
| (12)Small scale fisheries play an important role in the Union, from a biological, economic and social perspective. Considering the possible impacts of small scale fisheries on stocks, it is important to control that fishing activities and fishing efforts of smaller vessels are in compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy. For this purpose it is necessary to obtain position data of those vessels. Therefore, Member States should be able to track all fishing vessels, including fishing vessels which are less than 12 metres' length. For vessels 12 metres' length it is now possible to use mobile devices which are less expensive and easy to use. | (12)Entitajiet tas-sajd fuq skala żgħira jaqdu rwol importanti fl-Unjoni, minn perspettiva bijoloġika, ekonomika u soċjali. Fid-dawl tal-impatti possibbli tal-entitajiet tas-sajd fuq skala żgħira fuq l-istokkijiet, importanti li jiġi kkontrollat li l-attivitajiet tas-sajd u l-isforzi tas-sajd ta’ bastimenti iżgħar huma konformi mar-regoli tal-politika komuni tas-sajd. Għal dan l-għan, hemm bżonn li tinkiseb data dwar il-pożizzjoni ta’ dawk il-bastimenti. Għaldaqstant, l-Istati Membri għandhom ikunu kapaċi jitraċċaw il-bastimenti tas-sajd kollha, inklużi l-bastimenti tas-sajd li huma iqsar minn 12-il metru. Għal bastimenti twal 12-il metru issa hu possibbli li jintużaw apparati mobbli li huma anqas għaljin u li faċli biex tużahom. |
| (13)In order to clarify the role of the fishing monitoring centres, the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 concerning those centres should be placed in a separate Article. | (13)Biex jiġi ċċarat ir-rwol taċ-ċentri ta’ monitoraġġ tas-sajd, id-dispożizzjonijiet tar-Regolament (KE) Nru 1224/2009 li jikkonċernaw dawk iċ-ċentri għandhom jitqiegħdu f’Artikolu separat. |
| (14)Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 has been amended by Regulation (EU) 2015/812 of the Parliament and Council 31 in order to align certain of its provisions to the landing obligation set in Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013. In order to allow the proper control of the landing obligation, it is necessary to equip, on the basis of a risk assessment, a certain percentage of fishing vessels should be equipped with continuous recording electronic monitoring devices including Close Circuit Televisions (CCTV). CCTV data may be supplemented by data from other electronic monitoring devices. Data from these devices, including from CCTV, will provide Member State officials with means to control compliance with the landing obligation at sea. The CCTV footage should only concern the gears and the parts of the vessels where fishery products are brought on board, handled and stored. Footage from CCTVs should be recorded locally and should be made available exclusively to Member States officials or Union inspectors upon requests in particular in the context of inspections, investigations or audits. | (14)Ir-Regolament (KE) Nru 1224/2009 ġie emendat mir-Regolament (UE) 2015/812 tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill 31 biex uħud mid-dispożizzjonijiet tiegħu jiġu allinjati mal-obbligu ta’ ħatt l-art stabbilit fl-Artikolu 15 tar-Regolament (UE) Nru 1380/2013. Biex ikun jista’ jsir il-kontroll xieraq tal-obbligu ta’ ħatt l-art, hemm bżonn li, fuq il-bażi ta’ valutazzjoni tar-riskju, ċertu perċentwal ta’ bastimenti tas-sajd jiġi mgħammar b’apparati elettroniċi ta’ monitoraġġ b’reġistrazzjoni kontinwa li jinkludu Televiżjonijiet b’Ċirkwit Magħluq (CCTV). Id-data tas-CCTV tista’ tiġi ssupplimentata b’data minn apparati elettroniċi oħra ta’ monitoraġġ. Id-data minn dawn l-apparati, inkluż mis-CCTV, se tipprovdi lill-uffiċjali tal-Istati Membri b’mezzi biex jikkontrollaw il-konformità mal-obbligu ta’ ħatt l-art fuq il-baħar. Il-filmat tas-CCTV għandu jikkonċerna biss l-irkaptu u l-partijiet tal-bastimenti fejn il-prodotti tas-sajd jittellgħu abbord, jiġu mmaniġġjati u jinħażnu. Il-filmati mis-CCTV għandhom jiġu rreġistrati lokalment u għandhom jitqiegħdu għad-dispożizzjoni b’mod esklużiv tal-uffiċjali tal-Istati Membri jew tal-ispetturi tal-Unjoni meta jintalbu fil-kuntest ta’ spezzjonijiet, ta’ investigazzjonijiet jew ta’ awditi. |
| (15)In order to achieve the objectives of the common fisheries policy, the reliability and comprehensive collection of data on catches is of the utmost importance. | (15)Biex jintlaħqu l-objettivi tal-politika komuni tas-sajd, l-affidabbiltà u l-ġbir komprensiv tad-data dwar il-qabdiet huma ta’ importanza assoluta. |
| (16)The submission of catch registration data on paper formats has led to incomplete and unreliable reporting and ultimately to inadequate catch reporting by operators to Member States and by Member States to the Commission, and has hampered the exchange of information between Member States. It is therefore considered necessary that masters record data concerning catches in a digital way and submit them electronically, in particular the logbooks, transhipment declarations and landing declarations. | (16)Is-sottomissjoni tad-data dwar ir-reġistrazzjoni tal-qabdiet fuq formats fuq karta wasslet għal rapportar inkomplut u inaffidabbli u, finalment, għal rapportar inadegwat tal-qabdiet mill-operaturi lill-Istati Membri u mill-Istati Membri lill-Kummissjoni, u xekklet l-iskambju ta’ informazzjoni bejn l-Istati Membri. Għaldaqstant, hu meqjus neċessarju li l-kaptani jirreġistraw data rigward il-qabdiet b’mod diġitali u jissottomettuha b’mod elettroniku, b’mod partikolari l-ġurnali ta’ abbord, id-dikjarazzjonijiet ta’ trasbord u d-dikjarazzjonijiet tal-ħatt l-art. |
| (17)The absence of catch reporting obligations by masters of vessels less than 10 metres' length led to incomplete and unreliable data for such vessels as the data collection for those vessels was based on sampling plans. Therefore it is important to require reporting of catches for all fishing vessels without regard to their size. In this way the rules will also be simplified and compliance and controls will be improved. | (17)L-assenza ta’ obbligi ta’ rapportar tal-qabdiet mill-kaptani ta’ bastimenti iqsar minn 10 metri wasslet għal data inkompluta u inafidabbli għat-tali bastimenti peress li l-ġbir tad-data għal dawk il-bastimenti kien ibbażat fuq pjanijiet ta’ kampjunar. Għaldaqstant, importanti li jkun meħtieġ ir-rapportar il-qabdiet għall-bastimenti tas-sajd kollha mingħajr kunsiderazzjoni tad-daqs tagħhom. B’dan il-mod, ir-regoli se jiġu ssimplifikati wkoll u l-konformità u l-kontrolli jiġu mtejba. |
| (18)For vessels of 12 metres' length or more, it is important that the information in the logbook is made more accurate and includes data on the catches by haul or by operation, as this will enhance the effectiveness of controls. In the case of vessels less than 12 metres' length, the obligations pertaining to the completion and submission of the logbook should be simplified and masters should only be required to submit the information contained in logbook once, before arrival at port. | (18)Għal bastimenti ta’ 12-il metru jew aktar, hu importanti li l-informazzjoni fil-ġurnal ta’ abbord issir aktar preċiża u tinkludi data dwar il-qabdiet bil-ġbir jew bl-operat, peress li din issaħħaħ l-effettività tal-kontrolli. Fil-każ ta’ bastimenti iqsar minn 12-il metru, l-obbligi li jappartjenu għat-tlestija u għas-sottomissjoni tal-ġurnal ta’ abbord għandhom jiġu ssimplifikati u l-kaptani għandhom ikunu meħtieġa jissottomettu l-informazzjoni li tinsab fil-ġurnal ta’ abbord darba biss, qabel jaslu fil-port. |
| (19)The provisions on the margin of tolerance in logbook estimates of quantities of fish retained on board should be amended to take into account the new rules pertaining to the reporting of catches below 50 kg in logbooks. In addition, the provisions on the margin of tolerance should be amended in order to address the specificity of catches which are landed unsorted. | (19)Id-dispożizzjonijiet dwar il-marġni ta’ tolleranza fl-istimi mniżżla fil-ġurnal ta’ abbord tal-kwantitajiet ta’ ħut miżmum abbord għandhom jiġu emendati biex iqisu r-regoli l-ġodda rigward ir-rapportar ta’ qabdiet ta’ anqas minn 50 kg fil-ġurnali ta’ abbord. Barra minn hekk, id-dispożizzjonijiet dwar il-marġni ta’ tolleranza għandhom jiġu emendati biex jindirizzaw l-ispeċifiċità tal-qabdiet li jinħattu l-art mhux imqassma. |
| (20)When a fishing vessel departs, it should immediately start an electronic logbook and a unique fishing trip identifier number is assigned for that trip. The logbook, transhipment declarations and landing declarations should include a reference to this unique fishing trip identifier number to allow enhanced controls and to improve the validation of the data by Member States and the traceability of fishery products in the supply chain. In order to improve and simplify the transmission of information on fishing gear losses to Member State competent authorities, the logbook format should include information on lost gears. | (20)Meta bastiment tas-sajd jitlaq, dan minnufih għandu jibda ġurnal ta’ abbord elettroniku u għal dak il-vjaġġ jiġi assenjat numru identifikatur uniku tal-vjaġġ tas-sajd. Il-ġurnal ta’ abbord, id-dikjarazzjonijiet ta’ trasbord u d-dikjarazzjonijiet tal-ħatt l-art għandhom jinkludu referenza għal dan in-numru identifikatur uniku tal-vjaġġ tas-sajd biex ikunu jistgħu jsiru kontrolli msaħħa u titjieb il-validazzjoni tad-data mill-Istati Membri u t-traċċabilità tal-prodotti tas-sajd fil-katina ta’ provvista. Biex tittejjeb u tiġi ssimplifikata t-trażmissjoni ta’ informazzjoni dwar it-telf tal-irkaptu lill-awtoritajiet kompetenti tal-Istati Membri, il-format tal-ġurnal ta’ abbord għandu jinkludi l-informazzjoni dwar l-irkaptu mitluf. |
| (21)Prior landing notification allows a better control by officials of the compliance with the rules on catch registration and fishing activities. To improve compliance with the rules on catch registration, the provisions on prior notifications should apply to all vessels above 12 metres and not only to fishing vessels targeting stocks under multiannual plans. Member States should be entitled to set a shorter period of prior notification for vessels flying their flag which operate exclusively within its territorial waters, as long as this does not impair their ability to inspect vessels upon arrival. | (21)In-notifika minn qabel ta’ ħatt l-art tippermetti li jsir kontroll aħjar mill-uffiċjali rigward il-konformità mar-regoli dwar ir-reġistrazzjoni tal-qabdiet u l-attivitajiet tas-sajd. Biex titjieb il-konformità mar-regoli dwar ir-reġistrazzjoni tal-qabdiet, id-dispożizzjonijiet dwar in-notifiki minn qabel għandhom japplikaw għall-bastimenti kollha ta’ aktar minn 12-il metru u mhux biss għal bastimenti tas-sajd immirati lejn stokkijiet skont il-pjanijiet pluriennali. L-Istati Membri għandhom ikunu intitiolati jistabbilixxu perjodu iqsar ta’ notifika minn qabel għall-bastimenti tagħhom li jtajru l-bandiera tagħhom u li joperaw b’mod esklużiv fi ħdan l-ibħra territorjali tagħhom, dment li dan ma jxekkilx il-ħila tagħhom li jispezzjonaw il-bastimenti malli jaslu. |
| (22)Union fishing vessels landing fishery products in third countries or transhipping fishery products in third country waters or high seas should submit a prior notification or obtain an authorisation from the flag Member States. Such prior notifications and authorisations are required taking into account the responsibilities of the flag Member States relating to the prevention fishery products stemming from IUU fishing entering international markets. | (22)Bastimenti tas-sajd tal-Unjoni li jħottu l-art prodotti tas-sajd f’pajjiżi terzi jew li jittrasbordaw prodotti tas-sajd f’ibħra ta’ pajjiżi terzi jew f’ibħra internazzjonali għandhom jissottomettu notifika minn qabel jew jiksbu awtorizzazzjoni mingħand l-Istati Membri tal-bandiera. It-tali notifiki u awtorizzazzjonijiet minn qabel huma meħtieġa b’kunsiderazzjoni tar-responsabblitajiet tal-Istati Membri tal-bandiera b’rabta mal-prevenzjoni ta’ prodotti tas-sajd miksuba minn sajd IUU milli jidħlu fi swieq internazzjonali. |
| (23)Provisions on the recording of catch data and fishing efforts by the Member States should be amended to include data appearing in weighing records, take-over notes, and transport documents. | (23)Dispożizzjonijiet fuq ir-reġistrazzjoni tad-data dwar il-qabdiet u l-isforzi tas-sajd mill-Istati Membri għandhom jiġu emendati biex jinkludu data li tidher fir-rekords tal-użin, fin-noti ta’ akkwiżizzjoni, u fid-dokumenti tat-trasport. |
| (24)Rules on the submission of aggregated catch data and fishing efforts to the Commission should be simplified by providing for a single date for all submissions. | (24)Ir-regoli dwar is-sottomissjoni ta’ data aggregata dwar il-qabdiet u tal-isforzi tas-sajd lill-Kummissjoni għandhom jiġu ssimplifikati billi jiġi pprovdut għal data waħda għas-sottomissjonijiet kollha. |
| (25)Provisions concerning the publication by the Commission of fisheries closures following the exhaustion of fishing quotas or maximum allowable fishing efforts should be simplified in order to allow a timely publication of such closures. Those provisions should furthermore be made consistent with the landing obligation laid in Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013. | (25)Dispożizzjonijiet li jikkonċernaw il-pubblikazzjoni mill-Kummissjoni ta’ għeluq ta’ entitajiet tas-sajd wara l-eżawriment ta’ kwoti tas-sajd jew tal-isforzi tas-sajd massimi permissibbli għandhom jiġu ssimplifikati biex it-tali għeluq ikun jista’ jiġi ppubblikat b’mod puntwali. Barra minn hekk, dawk id-dispożizzjonijiet għandhom isiru b’mod konsistenti mal-obbligu ta’ ħatt l-art stabbilit fir-Regolament (UE) Nru 1380/2013. |
| (26)Provisions on fishing capacity should be updated to refer to Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013. | (26)Id-dispożizzjonijiet dwar il-kapaċità tas-sajd għandhom jiġu aġġornati biex jirreferu għar-Regolament (UE) Nru 1380/2013. |
| (27)Provisions concerning the verification of the tonnage of fishing vessels for the purposes of fishing capacity controls should be simplified and provisions concerning the verification of engine power should be clarified. If fishing vessels equipped with active fishing gears operate with engines that exceed the engine power stated in their registration, it is impossible to ensure compliance with the capacity ceilings laid down in Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013. Therefore it is important to effectively control the engine power of fishing vessels equipped with active fishing gears, using devices which continuously monitor the engine power. | (27)Id-dispożizzjonijiet li jikkonċernaw il-verifika tat-tunnellaġġ tal-bastimenti tas-sajd għall-finijiet ta’ kontrolli tal-kapaċità tas-sajd għandhom jiġu ssimplifikati u d-dispożizzjonijiet rigward il-verifika tas-saħħa tal-magna għandhom jiġu ċċarati. Jekk il-bastimenti tas-sajd mgħammra bi rkapti attivi tas-sajd joperaw b’magni li jaqbsu s-saħħa tal-magna ddikjarata fir-reġistrazzjoni tagħhom, ikun impossibbli li tiġi żgurata konformità mal-limiti tal-kapaċità stabbiliti fir-Regolament (UE) Nru 1380/2013. Għaldaqstant hu importanti li tiġi kkontrollata b’mod effettiv is-saħħa tal-magna tal-bastimenti tas-sajd mgħammra bi rkapti attivi tas-sajd, bl-użu ta’ apparati li jissorveljaw is-saħħa tal-magna b’mod kontinwu. |
| (28)In order to ensure compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy, each Member State should be required to set up and regularly update an annual or multi-annual national control programme covering all rules of the common fisheries policy. Member States should ensure that official controls are performed in a risk-based manner. Yearly reports on national inspections and controls should also be required. | (28)Biex tiġi żgurata konformità mar-regoli tal-politika komuni tas-sajd, kull Stat Membru għandu jkun meħtieġ jistabbilixxi u jaġġorna b’mod regolari programm nazzjonali annwali jew pluriennali ta’ kontroll li jkopri r-regoli kollha tal-politika komuni tas-sajd. L-Istati Membri għandhom jiżguraw li l-kontrolli uffiċjali jsiru b’mod ibbażat fuq ir-riskji. Għandhom ikunu meħtieġa wkoll rapporti annwali dwar l-ispezzjonijiet u l-kontrolli nazzjonali. |
| (29)Fishing restricted areas are established under Union legislation, national legislation and international agreements. Therefore the provisions on the control of fishing restricted areas by Member States should apply to fishing restricted areas wherever they are located. Also recreational vessels fishing in restricted areas should be controlled, where appropriate. | (29)Żoni ristretti għas-sajd huma stabbiliti skont il-leġiżlazzjoni tal-Unjoni, il-leġiżlazzjoni nazzjonali u l-ftehimiet internazzjonali. Għaldaqstant, id-dispożizzjonijiet dwar il-kontroll ta’ żoni ristretti għas-sajd mill-Istati Membri għandhom japplikaw għal żoni ristretti għas-sajd kull fejn ikunu jinsabu. Anki s-sajd rikreattiv b’bastimenti f’żoni ristretti għandu jkun ikkontrollat, fejn xieraq. |
| (30)Recreational fisheries play an important role in the Union, both from a biological, economic and social perspective. Considering the significant impacts of the recreational fishing on certain stocks, it is necessary to provide for specific tools allowing an effective control of recreational fisheries by the Member States. A registration or licensing system should allow a precise census of physical and legal persons participating in recreational fisheries and the collection of reliable data on catches and practices. The collection of sufficient and reliable data on recreational fishing is necessary in order to evaluate the impact of such fishing practices on stocks and provide Member States and the Commission with the information necessary for an effective management and control of marine biological resources. | (30)Entitajiet tas-sajd rikreattiv jaqdu rwol importanti fl-Unjoni minn perspettiva bijoloġika, ekonomika u soċjali. Fid-dawl tal-impatti sinifikanti tas-sajd rikreattiv fuq ċerti stokkijiet, hemm bżonn li jiġi pprovdut għal għodod speċifiċi li jippermettu li jsir kontroll effettiv tas-sajd rikreattiv mill-Istati Membri. Sistema ta’ reġistrazzjoni jew ta’ liċenzjar għandhom jippermettu għal ċens preċiż tal-persuni fiżiċi u ġuridiċi li jieħdu sehem fis-sajd rikreattiv u l-ġbir ta’ data affidabbli dwar il-qabdiet u l-prattiki. Il-ġbir ta’ data suffiċjenti u affidabbli dwar is-sajd rikreattiv hu neċessarju biex jiġi evalwat l-impatt tat-tali prattiki tas-sajd fuq l-istokkijiet u biex l-Istati Membri u l-Kummissjoni jiġu pprovduti bl-informazzjoni neċessarja għal ġestjoni u għal kontroll effettivi tar-riżorsi bijoloġiċi marini. |
| (31)A number of specific conservation measures applicable to recreational fisheries has already been established under the common fisheries policy. The registration or licensing and catch registration systems should allow the effective control of those specific conservation measures. | (31)Taħt il-politika komuni tas-sajd diġà ġew stabbiliti diversi miżuri speċifiċi ta’ konservazzjoni applikabbli għas-sajd rikreattiv. Is-sistemi ta’ reġistazzjoni jew liċenzjar u ta’ reġistrazzjoni tal-qabdiet għandhom jippermettu li jsir il-kontroll effettiv ta’ dawk il-miżuri ta’ konservazzjoni speċifiċi. |
| (32)Provisions on the controls in the supply chain should be clarified in order to allow Member States to perform controls and inspections at all stages of marketing of fishery and aquaculture products, from the first sale to the retail sale, including transport. | (32)Id-dispożizzjonijiet dwar il-kontrolli fil-katina ta’ provvista għandhom jiġu ċċarati biex l-Istati Membri jwettqu kontrolli u spezzjonijiet fl-istadji kollha tal-kummerċjalizzazzjoni tal-prodotti tas-sajd u tal-akkwakultura, mill-ewwel bejgħ sal-bejgħ fil-livell tal-konsumatur, inkluż it-trasport. |
| (33)The rules applicable to the placing of fishery and aquaculture products into lots should be clarified. It should be clarified that lots should be composed of fishery and aquaculture products of a single species, except where they consist of very small quantities. | (33)Ir-regoli applikabbli għat-tqegħid ta’ prodotti tas-sajd u tal-akkwakultura f’lottijiet għandhom jiġu ċċarati. Għandu jiġi ċċarat li l-lottijiet għandhom ikunu komposti minn prodotti tas-sajd u tal-akkwakultura ta’ speċi waħda, ħlief fejn dawn ikunu jikkonsistu fi kwantitajiet żgħar ħafna. |
| (34)In line with the traceability requirements set out in Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and Council 32 , Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 931/2011 33 lays down certain traceability rules for the specific sector of food of animal origin, namely a specific set of information must be kept on record by operators, be made available to competent authorities upon request, and transferred to the operator to which the fishery product is supplied. In the fisheries sector, traceability is important not only for food safety purposes but also to allow controls and ensure the protection of consumers' interests. | (34)F’konformità mar-rekwiżiti ta’ traċċabilità stabbiliti fl-Artikolu 18 tar-Regolament (KE) Nru 178/2002 tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill 32 , ir-Regolament ta’ Implimentazzjoni tal-Kummissjoni (UE) Nru 931/2011 33 jistabbilixxi ċerti regoli dwar it-traċċabilità għas-settur speċifiku tal-ikel li joriġina mill-annimali, jiġifieri sett speċifiku ta’ informazzjoni jrid jinżamm irrekordjat mill-operaturi, jitqiegħed għad-dispożizzjoni tal-awtoritajiet kompetenti fuq talba, u jiġi ttrasferit lill-operatur li lilu jiġi fornit il-prodott tas-sajd. Fis-settur tas-sajd, it-traċċabilità hi importanti mhux biss għall-finijiet ta’ sikurezza alimentari iżda anki biex ikunu jistgħu jsiru konrolli u tiġi żgurata l-protezzjoni tal-interessi tal-konsumaturi. |
| (35)It is therefore appropriate to build upon the existing rules on traceability as laid down in Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 931/2011. A specific set of information on fishery and aquaculture products should be kept on record by operators, made available to competent authorities upon request, and transferred to the operator to which the fishery product is supplied. In the case of fisheries products which are not imported, that traceability information should include the unique fishing trip identification number as this will allow to link a specific lot of fishery products to a particular landing by an Union fishing vessel or several Union fishing vessels in the same relevant geographical area. | (35)Għaldaqstant hu xieraq li bħala bażi jintużaw ir-regoli eżistenti dwar it-traċċabilità li huma stabbiliti fl-Artikolu 18 tar-Regolament (KE) Nru 178/2002 u fir-Regolament ta’ Implimentazzjoni tal-Kummissjoni (UE) Nru 931/2011. Sett speċifiku ta’ informazzjoni dwar il-prodotti tas-sajd u tal-akkwakultura għandu jinżamm irreġistrat mill-operaturi, jitqiegħed għad-dispożizzjoni tal-awtoritajiet kompetenti fuq talba, u jiġi ttrasferit lill-operatur li lilu hu fornit il-prodott tas-sajd. Fil-każ ta’ prodotti tas-sajd li mhumiex importati, dik l-informazzjoni dwar it-traċċabilità għandha tinkludi n-numru identifikatur uniku tal-vjaġġ tas-sajd peress li dan se jippermetti li ssir link bejn lott speċifiku ta’ prodotti tas-sajd ma’ ħatt l-art partikolari minn bastiment tas-sajd tal-Unjoni jew minn diversi bastimenti tas-sajd tal-Unjoni fl-istess żona ġeografika rilevanti. |
| (36)In line with Regulation (EU) No 931/2011 the traceability information relevant for the control of fishery and aquaculture products should be available from the first sale until the retail stage. This will allow in particular that the information provided to the consumer concerning the species and the origin of the fishery or aquaculture product is accurate. | (36)F’konformità mar-Regolament (UE) Nru 931/2011, l-informazzjoni dwar it-traċċabilità li hi rilevanti għall-kontroll tal-prodotti tas-sajd u tal-akkwakultura għandha tkun disponibbli sa mill-ewwel begħ sal-istadju fil-livell tal-konsumatur. Din se tippermetti b’mod partikolari li l-informazzjoni pprovduta lill-konsumatur rigward l-ispeċi u l-oriġini tal-prodott tas-sajd jew tal-akkwakultura tkun preċiża. |
| (37)The same rules should apply to fishery and aquaculture products imported from third countries. In the case of imported products, the mandatory traceability information should include a reference to the catch certificate provided for by Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008 34 . | (37)Għandhom ikunu japplikaw l-istess regoli għal prodotti tas-sajd u tal-akkwakultura importati minn pajjiżi terzi. Fil-każ ta’ prodotti importati, l-informazzjoni obbligatorja dwar it-traċċabilità għandha tinkludi referenza għaċ-ċertifikat tal-qabda stabbilit mir-Regolament (KE) Nru 1005/2008 34 . |
| (38)In order to ensure an effective and timely transmission of the traceability information concerning fishery and aquaculture products, that information should be recorded in a digitalized manner and transmitted electronically within in the supply chain and to competent authorities upon their request. | (38)Biex tiġi żgurata trażmissjoni effettiva u puntwali tal-informazzjoni dwar it-traċċabilità rigward prodotti tas-sajd u tal-akkwakultura, dik l-informazzjoni għandha tiġi rreġistrata b’mod diġitalizzat u tintbagħat b’mod elettroniku fi ħdan il-katina ta’ provvista u lill-awtoritajiet kompetenti fuq talba tagħhom. |
| (39)In the case of fishery products sold directly from fishing vessels to the consumers, rules pertaining to traceability, registered buyers, and sales notes do not apply to quantities below certain thresholds. Those thresholds should be harmonized and should be lowered in order to minimize the placing on the market of fishery products which cannot be traced and therefore cannot be controlled. | (39)Fil-każ ta’ prodotti tas-sajd mibjugħa direttament mill-bastimenti tas-sajd lill-konsumaturi, ir-regoli dwar it-traċċabilità, ix-xerrejja reġistrati, u n-noti tal-bejgħ ma japplikawx għal kwantitajiet anqas minn ċerti limiti. Dawk il-limiti għandhom ikunu armonizzati u għandhom jitbaxxew biex jiġi mminimizzat it-tqegħid fis-suq ta’ prodotti tas-sajd li ma jistgħux jiġu traċċati u, għaldaqstant, ma jistgħux jiġu kkontrollati. |
| (40)In order to achieve the objectives of the common fisheries policy, the reliability and comprehensive collection of data on catches is of the utmost importance. In particular recording of catches at the time of landing should be carried out in the most reliable way possible. For that purpose, it is necessary to strengthen the procedures concerning the weighing of fishery products upon landing. | (40)Biex jintlaħqu l-objettivi tal-politika komuni tas-sajd, l-affidabbiltà u l-ġbir komprensiv tad-data dwar il-qabdiet huma ta’ importanza assoluta. B’mod partikolari, ir-reġistrazzjoni tal-qabdiet fil-mument tal-ħatt l-art għandha ssir bl-aktar mod affidabbli possibbli. Għal dak l-għan, hemm bżonn li jissaħħu l-proċeduri rigward l-użin tal-prodotti tas-sajd fil-mument tal-ħatt l-art. |
| (41)The weighing should be performed on systems approved by the competent authorities and by operators registered by Member States to carry out that task. All products should be weighed per species upon landing as this will guarantee a more accurate reporting of the catches. Furthermore, weighing records should be recorded electronically and kept for three years. | (41)L-użin għandu jsir fuq sistemi approvati mill-awtoritajiet kompetenti u mill-operaturi reġistrati mill-Istati Membri biex iwettqu dak il-kompitu. Il-prodotti kollha għandhom jintiżnu għal kull speċi malli jinħattu peress li dan se jiggarantixxi rapportar aktar preċiż tal-qabdiet. Barra minn hekk, ir-rekords tal-użin għandhom jiġu rreġistrati b’mod elettroniku u jinżammu għal tliet snin. |
| (42)Landing of unsorted species should only be allowed if strict conditions are met, including the weighing on systems operated or controlled by Member State authorities. | (42)Il-ħatt l-art ta’ speċijiet mhux imqassma għandu jitħalla jsir biss jekk jiġu ssodisfati kundizzjonijiet stretti, inkluż l-użin fuq sistemi operati jew ikkontrollati minn awtoritajiet tal-Istati Membri. |
| (43)In order to improve controls and allow the rapid validation of catch registration data and the rapid exchange of information between Member States, it is necessary that all operators record data in a digital way and submit that data electronically within 24 hours to Member States. This concerns, in particular, landing declarations, sales notes and take-over notes. | (43)Biex jittejbu l-kontrolli u ssir il-validazzjoni rapida tad-data dwar ir-reġistrazzjoni tal-qabdiet u l-iskambju rapidu ta’ informazzjoni bejn l-Istati Membri, ghemm bżonn li l-operaturi kollha jirreġistraw id-data b’mod diġitali u jissottomettu dik id-data b’mod elettroniku fi żmien 24 siegħa lill-Istati Membri. Dan jikkonċerna, b’mod partikolari, id-dikjarazzjonijiet tal-ħatt l-art, in-noti tal-bejgħ u n-noti ta’ akkwiżizzjoni. |
| (44)Due to the availability of adequate technological tools, the requirement to record data in a digital way and submit it electronically within 24 hours to Member States should apply to all buyers of fishery products. | (44)Minħabba d-disponibbiltà ta’ għodod teknoloġiċi adegwati, ir-rekwiżit ta’ reġistrazzjoni tad-data b’mod diġitali u ta’ sottomissjoni ta’ din b’mod elettroniku fi żmien 24 siegħa lill-Istati Membri għandu japplika għax-xerrejja kollha ta’ prodotti tas-sajd. |
| (45)Transmission of transport documents to the relevant Member States should be simplified and should be done prior to departure in order to allow controls by the competent authorities. | (45)It-trażmissjoni tad-dokumenti tat-trasport lill-Istati Membri rilevanti għandha tiġi ssimplifikata u għandha ssir qabel it-tluq biex l-awtoritajiet kompetenti jkunu jistgħu jagħmlu l-kontrolli. |
| (46)Landing declarations, sales notes, take-over declarations and transport documents should include a reference to the unique fishing trip identifier number in order to allow enhanced controls and improve the validation of the data by Member States and the traceability of fishery products in the supply chain. | (46)Id-dikjarazzjonijiet tal-ħatt l-art, in-noti tal-bejgħ, id-dikjarazzjonijiet ta’ akkwiżizzjoni u d-dokumenti ta’ trasport għandhom jinkludu referenza għan-numru identifikatur uniku tal-vjaġġ tas-sajd biex ikunu jistgħu jsiru kontrolli msaħħa u jitjiebu l-validazzjoni tad-data mill-Istati Membri u t-traċċabilità tal-prodotti tas-sajd fil-katina ta’ provvista. |
| (47)The provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 concerning the monitoring of producer organisations and the monitoring of price and intervention arrangements are no longer relevant and should be deleted since such monitoring is now provided for by Regulation (EU) No 1379/2013. | (47)Id-dispożizzjonijiet tar-Regolament (KE) Nru 1224/2009 rigward il-monitoraġġ ta’ organizzazzjonijiet tal-produtturi u l-monitoraġġ tal-arranġamenti tal-prezzijiet u ta’ intervent ma għadhomx rilevanti u għandhom jitħassru peress li t-tali monitoraġġ issa hu stabbilit mir-Regolament (UE) Nru 1379/2013. |
| (48)In order to improve the risk assessment carried out by national authorities when planning control activities and the effectiveness of inspections, the requirements concerning the national register of infringements should be enhanced. | (48)Biex jittejbu l-valutazzjoni tar-riskju mwettqa mill-awtoritajiet nazzjonali meta jippjanaw l-attivitajiet ta’ kontroll u l-effettività tal-ispezzjonijiet, ir-rekwiżiti rigward ir-reġistru nazzjonali dwar il-każijiet ta’ ksur għandhom jissaħħu. |
| (49)In order to ensure a level playing field in the Member States as regards the judicial treatment of all offenders of the rules of the common fisheries policy, provisions concerning determination of behaviours that constitute serious infringements of such rules should be clarified and reinforced. | (49)Biex jiġu żgurati kundizzjonijiet ekwi fl-Istati Membri rigward it-trattament ġudizzjarju tat-trasgressuri kollha tar-regoli tal-politika komuni tas-sajd, id-dispożizzjonijiet li jikkonċernaw id-determinazzjoni tal-imġibiet li jikkostitwixxu ksur serju tat-tali regoli għandhom jiġu ċċarati u msaħħa. |
| (50)To ensure effective deterrence against the most harmful behaviours, in line with Union international obligations it is necessary to establish an exhaustive list of infringements which are to be considered serious under any circumstances. In addition, to ensure proportionality, it is necessary to establish an exhaustive list of criteria to be used by the competent national authorities when determining the seriousness of certain other infringements. | (50)Biex tiġi żgurata deterrenza effettiva kontra l-aktar imġibiet dannużi, f’konformità mal-obbligi internazzjonali tal-Unjoni, hemm bżonn li tiġi stabbilita lista eżawrijenti ta’ ksur li għandu jitqies li hu serju fi kwalunkwe ċirkustanza. Barra minn hekk, biex tiġi żgurata proporzjonalità, hemm bżonn li tiġi stabbilita lista eżawrijenti ta’ kriterji li għandha tintuża mill-awtoritajiet nazzjonali kompetenti meta jiddeterminaw is-serjetà ta’ ċertu ksur ieħor. |
| (51)To ensure a faster, effective and more dissuasive response to the serious infringements, administrative proceedings against such serious infringements should be introduced by Member States without prejudice to existing criminal proceedings. Setting standardized minimum levels of fines and improving the point system which may lead to the suspension or withdrawal of fishing licences or of the right to command a vessel, will also increase the deterrent effect of the sanctioning systems of all Member States and prevent recidivism. | (51)Biex jiġi żgurat rispons aktar veloċi, effettiv u aktar disważiv għall-ksur serju, l-Istati Membri għandhom jintroduċu proċedimenti amministrattivi kontra tali ksur serju mingħajr ħsara għall-proċedimenti kriminali eżistenti. L-istabbiliment ta’ livelli minimi standardizzati ta’ multi u t-titjib tas-sistema ta’ punti li tista’ twassal għas-sospensjoni jew għall-irtirar ta’ liċenzji tas-sajd jew tad-dritt ta’ kmandar ta’ bastiment, ser iżidu wkoll l-effett deterrent tas-sistemi ta’ sanzjonar tal-Istati Membri kollha u jipprevjenu r-reċidiviżmu. |
| (52)National entities in charge of fisheries control activities as well as any relevant judicial bodies should have access to the national register of infringements. A fully transparent exchange of information contained in national registers between Member States will also improve effectiveness and ensure a level playing field for control activities. | (52)L-entitajiet nazzjonali inkarigati mill-attivitajiet ta’ kontroll tas-sajd kif ukoll kwalunkwe korp ġudizzjarju rilevanti għandu jkollhom aċċess għar-reġistru nazzjonali dwar il-każijiet ta’ ksur. Skambju ta’ informazzjoni trasparenti għalkollox li jinsab fir-reġistri nazzjonali bejn l-Istati Membri ser itejjeb l-effettività wkoll u jiżgura kundizzjonijiet ekwi għall-attivitajiet ta’ kontroll. |
| (53)Validation is an important step in ensuring that data collected by Member States pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 is reliable and complete. The set of data to be validated and the obligations of Member States in case of inconsistencies should be clarified. | (53)Il-validazzjoni hi pass importanti fl-iżgurar li d-data miġbura mill-Istati Membri skont ir-Regolament (KE) Nru 1224/2009 tkun affidabbli u kompluta. Is-sett ta’ data li għandu jiġi vvalidat u l-obbligi tal-Istati Membri fil-każ ta’ inkonsistenzi għandhom jiġu ċċarati. |
| (54)In order to comply with its duties under the rules of the common fisheries the Commission must have access to various data collected by Member States. It should be clarified which data should be accessible to the Commission and which tasks the Commission is to perform using that data. | (54)Biex tikkonforma mad-dmirijiet tagħha skont ir-regoli tal-politika komuni tas-sajd, il-Kummissjoni jrid ikollha aċċess għad-data varja miġbura mill-Istati Membri. Għandu jiġi ċċarat liema data għandha tkun aċċessibbli għall-Kummissjoni u liema kompiti għandha twettaq il-Kummissjoni bl-użu ta’ dik id-data. |
| (55)The data collected by Member States is also of great value for scientific purposes. It should be clarified that scientific bodies of Member States and Union scientific bodies may be provided access to the data collected in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 , in particular to vessel position data and fishing activity data. Finally, the fishing activity data collected by Member States is also of value for the statistical office of the European Union (Eurostat) who can use it to provide statistics on fisheries. | (55)Id-data miġbura mill-Istati Membri hi ta’ tassew siewja għal skopijiet xjentifiċi wkoll. Għandu jiġi ċċarat li l-korpi xjentifiċi tal-Istati Membri u l-korpi xjentifiċi tal-Unjoni jistgħu jiġu pprovduti aċċess għad-data miġbura f’konformità mar-Regolament (KE) Nru 1224/2009, b’mod partikolari għal data dwar il-pożizzjoni tal-bastimenti u għal data dwar l-attivitajiet tas-sajd. Finalment, id-data dwar l-attivitajiet tas-sajd miġbura mill-Istati Membri hi wkoll ta’ valur għall-uffiċċju statistiku tal-Unjoni Ewropea (Eurostat) li jista’ jużaha biex jipprovdi statistiki dwar is-sajd. |
| (56)As the exchange of data between Member States is paramount for controlling and enforcing obligations under the rules of the common fisheries policy, the provisions pertaining to such exchanges should be clarified. In particular, Member States should grant each other access to their registers of infringements as this will allow them to improve enforcement of the rules with regard to Union fishing vessels flying the flag of another Member State in their waters and with regard to fishing vessels flying their flags which committed infringements in the waters of other Member States. | (56)Peress li l-iskambju ta’ data bejn l-Istati Membri hu kruċjali għall-obbligi ta’ kontroll u ta’ infurzar skont ir-regoli tal-politika komuni tas-sajd, id-dispożizzjonijiet relatati mat-tali skambji għandhom jiġu ċċarati. B’mod partikolari, l-Istati Membri għandhom jagħtu aċċess lil xulxin għar-reġistri tagħhom ta’ ksur peress li dan se jippermettilhom itejbu l-infurzar tar-regoli fir-rigward tal-bastimenti tas-sajd tal-Unjoni li jtajru l-bandiera ta’ Stat Membru ieħor fl-ibħra tagħhom u fir-rigward tal-bastimenti tas-sajd li jtajru l-bnadar tagħhom li wettqu ksur fl-ibħra ta’ Stati Membri oħra. |
| (57)The set of data collected by the Member States to which the Commission should have access, such as fishing activity data, control data, other electronic fisheries databases and the national register of infringements, may include personal data. As the fishing trip identification number or the name of the fishing vessel may allow the identification of natural persons such as the owner or the master of a fishing vessel, information containing such data can also, under certain circumstances, constitute personal data. | (57)Is-sett ta’ data miġbura mill-Istati Membri li għalih għandu jkollha aċċess il-Kummissjoni, bħad-data dwar l-attivitajiet tas-sajd, id-data ta’ kontroll, bażijiet ta’ data elettroniċi oħra dwar is-sajd u r-reġistru nazzjonali dwar il-każijiet ta’ ksur, jista’ jinkludi data personali. Peress li n-numru ta’ identifikazzjoni tal-vjaġġ tas-sajd jew l-isem tal-bastiment tas-sajd jista’ jippermetti biex jiġu identifikati persuni fiżiċi bħas-sid jew il-kaptan ta’ bastiment tas-sajd, informazzjoni li fiha data bħal din tista’ wkoll, taħt ċerti ċirkustanzi, tikkostitwixxi data personali. |
| (58)Processing of personal data is necessary for the fisheries control and enforcement. In particular, for the purpose of monitoring of fishing opportunities, including quota consumption, the Commission should be able to process data from logbooks, landing declarations, sales notes and other fishing activity data in order to carry out validation of the aggregated data submitted by Member States. To carry out verifications, audits and to monitor the control activities of Member States, the Commission should have access and process information such as inspection and control observers' reports and the database of infringements. In the context of preparation of and compliance with the international agreements and conservation measures, the Commission should process, when necessary, data on the fishing activities of Union fishing vessels outside Union waters, including the vessel identification numbers, name of the owner of the vessel and the master of the vessel. | (58)Il-proċessar ta’ data personali hu neċessarju għall-kontroll tas-sajd u għall-infurzar. B’mod partikolari, għall-fini ta’ monitoraġġ tal-opportunitajiet tas-sajd, inkluż il-konsum tal-kwoti, il-Kummissjoni għandha tkun tista’ tipproċessa data mill-ġurnali ta’ abbord, mid-dikjarazzjonijiet tal-ħatt l-art, min-noti ta’ bejgħ u minn data oħra dwar l-attivitajiet tas-sajd biex twettaq il-validazzjoni tad-data aggregata sottomessa mill-Istati Membri. Biex tagħmel il-verifiki, l-awditi u tissorvelja l-attivitajiet ta’ kontroll tal-Istati Membri, il-Kummissjoni għandu jkollha aċċess u għandha tipproċessa informazzjoni bħal rapporti tal-osservaturi ta’ spezzjonijiet u ta’ kontrolli u l-bażi ta’ data ta’ ksur. Fil-kuntest tat-tħejjija ta’ ftehimiet internazzjonali u ta’ miżuri ta’ konservazzjoni u fil-kuntest tal-konformità ma’ dawn, il-Kummissjoni għandha tipproċessa, fejn ikun hemm bżonn, data dwar l-attivitajiet tas-sajd tal-bastimenti tas-sajd tal-Unjoni barra mill-ibħra tal-Unjoni, inklużi n-numri ta’ identifikazzjoni tal-bastimenti, l-isem tas-sid tal-bastiment u l-kaptan tal-bastiment. |
| (59)Personal data processed for fisheries control and enforcement should be stored in general for a period of 5 years because for the purpose of the monitoring of fishing opportunities, the Commission performs validation of the aggregated data submitted by Member states within 5 years following their transmission. In case of the follow-up of infringements, inspections, verifications, complaints or audits, or in case of on-going judicial or administrative proceedings, a specific longer retention period of 10 years is necessary because the length of such processes and the need for those data to be used during the entire period when such processes are ongoing. | (59)Data personali proċessata għall-kontroll tas-sajd u għall-infurzar għandha tinħażen b’mod ġenerali għal perjodu ta’ 5 snin għaliex għall-fini tal-monitoraġġ tal-opportunitajiet tas-sajd, il-Kummissjoni tagħmel validazzjoni tad-data aggregata sottomessa mill-Istati Membri fi żmien 5 snin mit-trażmissjoni tagħha. Fil-każ tas-segwitu ta’ ksur, ta’ spezzjonijiet, ta’ verifiki, ta’ lmenti jew ta’ awditi, jew fil-każ ta’ proċedimenti ġudizzjarji jew amministrattivi kurrenti, perjodu ta’ żamma speċifiku itwal ta’ 10 snin hu neċessarju minħabba t-tul tat-tali proċessi u l-ħtieġa li dik id-data tintuża matul il-perjodu sħiħ meta t-tali proċessi jkunu kurrenti. |
| (60)It should be ensured at all times and at all levels that, the obligations on personal data protection laid down in Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and Council 35 , Regulation (EU) 2018/XX 36 , and, where applicable, the national provisions transposing Directive (EU) 2016/680 37 are respected. | (60)Għandu jiġi żgurat f’kull ħin u f’kull livell li, l-obbligi dwar il-protezzjoni ta’ data personali stabbiliti fir-Regolament (UE) 2016/679 tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill 35 , fir-Regolament (UE) 2018/XX 36 , u, fejn applikabbli, fid-dispożizzjonijiet nazzjonali li jittrasponu d-Direttiva (UE) 2016/680 37 jiġu rrispettati. |
| (61)Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 confers powers upon the Commission in order to implement some of the provisions of that Regulation. | (61)Ir-Regolament tal-Kunsill (KE) Nru 1224/2009 jagħti setgħat lill-Kummissjoni biex timplimenta xi wħud mid-dispożizzjonijiet ta’ dak ir-Regolament. |
| (62)As a consequence of the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, the powers conferred under Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 need to be aligned with Articles 290 and 291 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. | (62)Bħala konsegwenza tad-dħul fis-seħħ tat-Trattat ta’ Lisbona, jeħtieġ li s-setgħat ikkonferiti lill-Kummissjoni skont ir-Regolament (KE) Nru 1224/2009 jkunu allinjati mal-Artikoli 290 u 291 tat-Trattat dwar il-Funzjonament tal-Unjoni Ewropea. |
| (63)The power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 TFEU should be delegated to the Commission in order to supplement Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 with specific rules governing controls, as regards: | (63)Is-setgħa li tadotta atti f’konformità mal-Artikolu 290 TFUE għandha tiġi delegata lill-Kummissjoni biex tissupplimenta r-Regolament (KE) Nru 1224/2009 b’regoli speċifiċi li jirregolaw il-kontrolli, f’dak li jikkonċerna: |
| –the exemption of certain fishing vessels from the obligation of a fishing authorisation; | –l-eżenzjoni ta’ ċerti bastimenti tas-sajd mill-obbligu ta’ awtorizzazzjoni għas-sajd; |
| –provisions applicable in case of failure of electronic recording and reporting systems, concerning tracking systems, logbook, prior notifications, transhipements, landing declarations; | –id-dispożizzjonijiet applikabbli f'każ ta’ nuqqas ta’ sistemi elettroniċi ta’ reġistrazzjoni u ta’ rapportar, rigward sistemi ta’ traċċar, ġurnal ta’ abbord, notifiki minn qabel, trasbordi, dikjarazzjonijiet tal-ħatt l-art; |
| –the exemption of certain categories of fishing vessels from the obligation to complete and submit a prior notification and transhipment declaration; | –l-eżenzjoni ta’ ċerti kategoriji ta’ bastimenti tas-sajd mill-obbligu li jimlew u jissottomettu notifika minn qbel u dikjarazzjoni ta’ trasbord; |
| –the detailed rules concerning the functioning of traceability systems; | –ir-regoli dettaljati li jikkonċernaw il-funzjonament tas-sistemi ta’ traċċabilità; |
| –the criteria and procedure for the registration of weighers and content of weighing records; | –il-kriterji u l-proċedura għar-reġistrazzjoni ta’ piżaturi u tal-kontenut tar-rekords tal-użin; |
| –the rules on weighing procedures and special rules for small pelagic species; | –ir-regoli dwar il-proċeduri tal-użin u r-regoli speċali għal speċijiet pelaġiċi żgħar; |
| –the rules on control observers; | –ir-regoli dwar l-osservaturi tal-kontroll; |
| –the rules on inspections for Member States competent authorities and operators; | –ir-regoli dwar l-ispezzjonijiet għall-awtoritajiet kompetenti tal-Istati Membri u għall-operaturi; |
| –the definition of trigger for the suspension or withdrawal of the fishing licence, the follow up to suspension or withdrawal, the deletion of points; | –id-definizzjoni ta’ skattatur għas-sospensjoni jew għall-irtirar tal-liċenzja tas-sajd, is-segwitu għal sospensjoni jew għal irtirar, it-tħassir tal-punti; |

| –the setting of the deadline for Member States to demonstrate that stocks can be safely exploited; | –l-issettjar tal-iskadenza għall-Istati Membri biex juru li l-istokkijiet jistgħu jintużaw b’mod sikur; |
| It is of particular importance that the Commission carry out appropriate consultations during its preparatory work, including at expert level and that those consultations be conducted in accordance with the principles laid down in the Interinstitutional Agreement of 13 April 2016 on Better Law-Making (1). In particular, to ensure equal participation in the preparation of delegated acts, the European Parliament and the Council should receive all documents at the same time as Member States’ experts, and their experts systematically have access to meetings of Commission expert groups dealing with the preparation of delegated acts. | Hu ta’ importanza partikolari li l-Kummissjoni twettaq konsultazzjonijiet adatti waqt il-ħidma preparatorja tagħha, inkluż fil-livell tal-esperti, u li dawk il-konsultazzjonijiet jitwettqu f’konformità mal-prinċipji stabbiliti fil-Ftehim Interistituzzjonali tat-13 ta’ April 2016 dwar it-Tfassil Aħjar tal-Liġijiet (1). B’mod partikolari, biex tiġi żgurata parteċipazzjoni ugwali fit-tħejjija tal-atti delegati, il-Parlament Ewropew u l-Kunsill jirċievu d-dokumenti kollha fl-istess ħin bħall-esperti tal-Istati Membri, u l-esperti tagħhom ikollhom aċċess sistematiku għal-laqgħat tal-gruppi ta’ esperti tal-Kummissjoni li jittrattaw it-tħejjija ta’ atti delegati. |
| (64)Implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission in order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009,as regards: | (64)Is-setgħat ta’ implimentazzjoni għandhom jingħataw lill-Kummissjoni biex tiżgura kundizzjonijiet uniformi għall-implimentazzjoni tar-Regolament (KE) Nru 1224/2009, f’dak li jikkonċerna: |

| Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council 38 . | Dawk is-setgħat għandhom jiġu eżerċitati f’konformità mar-Regolament (UE) Nru 182/2011 tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill 38 . |
| (65)As a consequence of the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, some provisions conferring decision-making powers upon the Council alone need to be adapted to bring them into line with the new procedures applicable to the common fisheries policy. The provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 concerning the following elements should therefore be redrafted: | (65)Bħala konsegwenza tad-dħul fis-seħħ tat-Trattat ta’ Lisbona, jeħtieġ li jiġu adattati xi dispożizzjonijiet li jikkonferixxu setgħat ta’ teħid ta’ deċiżjonijiet fuq il-Kunsill waħdu sabiex jinġiebu konformi mal-proċeduri l-ġodda applikabbli għall-politika komuni tas-sajd. Għalhekk, id-dispożizzjonijiet fir-Regolament (KE) Nru 1224/2009 rigward l-elementi li ġejjin għandhom jinkitbu mill-ġdid: |
| –the adoption in each multiannual plan of a threshold of catches above which a designated port or a place close to the shore has to be used and the frequency of communication of data; | –l-adozzjoni f’kull pjan pluriennali ta’ limitu massimu tal-qabdiet li jekk jinqabeż ikun irid jintuża port magħżul jew post qrib il-kosta u l-frekwenza tal-komunikazzjoni tad-data; |
| –the establishment of a control observer scheme. | –l-istabbiliment ta’ skema tal-osservatur ta’ kontroll. |
| (66) Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly. | (66) Għalhekk, ir-Regolament (KE) Nru 1224/2009 għandu jiġi emendat skont dan. |
| (67)For reasons of consistency with the scope of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009, the objectives of Council Regulation (EC) No 768/2005 39 should be enlarged. The missions of the European Fisheries Control Agency should cover the harmonisation of the application of the common fisheries policy as a whole. They should include research and development in the area of control and inspection techniques and provision of assistance to the Commission in specific fields. | (67)Għal raġunijiet ta’ konsistenza mal-kamp ta’ applikazzjoni tar-Regolament (KE) Nru 1224/2009, l-objettivi tar-Regolament tal-Kunsill (KE) Nru 768/2005 39 għandhom jitwessgħu. Il-missjonijiet tal-Aġenzija Ewropea għall-Kontroll tas-Sajd għandhom ikopru l-armonizzazzjoni tal-applikazzjoni tal-politika komuni tas-sajd fis-sħuħija tagħha. Dawn għandhom jinkludu r-riċerka u l-iżvilupp fil-qasam tat-tekniki ta’ kontroll u ta’ spezzjoni u l-għoti ta’ assistenza lill-Kummissjoni f’oqsma speċifiċi. |
| (68)It should be ensured that the obligations concerning personal data protection laid down in Regulation (EU) 2018/XX are respected by the Agency in the framework of data processing and exchange. | (68)Għandu jiġi żgurat li l-obbligi li jikkonċernaw il-protezzjoni ta’ data personali stabbiliti fir-Regolament (UE) 2018/XX jiġu rrispettati mill-Aġenzija fil-kuntest tal-proċessar u tal-iskambju ta’ data. |
| Representatives of Union institutions should have the possibility to take part in the meeting of the Administrative Board of the Agency. | Ir-rappreżentanti tal-istituzzjonijiet tal-Unjoni għandu jkollhom il-possibbiltà li jieħdu sehem fil-laqgħa tal-Bord Amministrattiv tal-Aġenzija. |
| (69)It should be clarified that both draft annual and draft multiannual work programmes of the Agency prepared its executive Director are to be submitted to the Administrative board of the Agency. | (69)Għandu jiġi ċċarat li kemm l-abbozz tal-programmi ta’ ħidma annwali kif ukoll l-abbozz tal-programmi ta’ ħidma pluriennali tal-Aġenzija li jitħejjew mid-Direttur eżekuttiv ta’ din għandhom jiġu sottomessi lill-Bord amministrattiv tal-Aġenzija. |
| (70)It should be clarified that the Agency may also receive funds in the form of delegations agreements or ad-hoc grants without prejudice to others types of income. | (70)Għandu jiġi ċċarat li l-Aġenzija tista’ tirċievi wkoll fondi fil-forma ta’ ftehimiet ta’ delegazzjonijiet jew ta’ għotjiet ad-hoc mingħajr preġudizzju għal tipi oħra ta’ introjtu. |
| (71)Finally, the provisions on the evaluation of the Agency by the Commission should also be clarified. | (71)Finalment, id-dispożizzjonijiet dwar l-evalwazzjoni tal-Aġenzija mill-Kummissjoni għandhom jiġu ċċarati wkoll. |
| (72)Regulation (EC) No 768/2005 should therefore be amended accordingly. | (72)Għalhekk, ir-Regolament (KE) Nru 768/2005 għandu jiġi emendat skont dan. |
| (73)In order to ensure consistency between control provisions, Council Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 40 and Regulation (EU) No 2016/1139 of the European Parliament and Council 41 should be amended. In particular, the provisions concerning control of leisure fisheries, recording and reporting of transhipments and catch registrations set out in Council Regulation (EC) No 1967/2006 and the provisions concerning logbooks and the margin of tolerance in estimates recorded in the fishing logbook set out in Regulation (EU) No 2016/1139 should be deleted and the relevant provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 should apply instead. | (73)Biex tiġi żgurata l-konsistenza bejn id-dispożizzjonijiet dwar il-kontroll, ir-Regolament tal-Kunsill (KE) Nru 1967/2006 40 u r-Regolament (UE) Nru 2016/1139 tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill 41 għandhom jiġu emendati. B’mod partikolari, id-dispożizzjonijiet li jikkonċernaw il-kontroll tas-sajd rikreattiv, ir-reġistrazzjoni u r-rapportar ta’ trasbordi u r-reġistrazzjonijiet tal-qabdiet stabbiliti fir-Regolament tal-Kunsill (KE) Nru 1967/2006 u d-dispożizzjonijiet li jikkonċernaw il-ġurnali ta’ abbord u l-marġni ta’ tolleranza fl-istimi rreġistrati fil-ġurnal ta’ abbord tas-sajd stabbiliti fir-Regolament (UE) Nru 2016/1139 għandhom jitħassru u, minflok, għandhom ikunu japplikaw id-dispożizzjonijiet rilevanti tar-Regolament (KE) Nru 1224/2009. |
| (74)The Catch Certification Scheme, as set out in Chapter III of Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008, is paper-based and as a result not efficient and not in line with a digitalised traceability system for fishery products. In line with its international commitments and to ensure effective implementation of the scheme, Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008 should be amended to establish a data base for the management of catch certificates (CATCH) based on the Information Management System for Official Controls, allowing for risk based controls, reducing opportunities of fraudulent imports and easing the administrative burden of Member States. The operational functions of the CATCH will be developed in different phases. | (74)L-Iskema ta’ Ċertifikazzjoni tal-Qabda, kif stabbilita fil-Kapitolu III tar-Regolament (KE) Nru 1005/2008, hi bbażata fuq il-karti u, għalhekk, mhix effiċjenti u mhix konformi ma’ sistema diġitalizzata ta’ traċċabilità għall-prodotti tas-sajd. F’konformità mal-impenji internazzjonali tiegħu u biex tiġi żgurata implimentazzjoni effettiva tal-iskema, ir-Regolament (KE) Nru 1005/2008 għandu jiġi emendat biex tiġi stabbilita bażi ta’ data għall-ġestjoni taċ-ċertifikati tal-qabdiet (CATCH) ibbażata fuq is-Sistema ta’ Ġestjoni tal-Informazzjoni għal Kontrolli Uffiċjali, biex ikunu jistgħu jsiru kontrolli bbażati fuq ir-riskju, jitnaqqsu l-opportunitajiet ta’ importazzjonijiet frawdolenti u jitħaffef il-piż amministrattiv tal-Istati Membri. Il-funzjonijiet operazzjonali tal-CATCH se jiġu żviluppati f’fażijiet differenti. |
| (75)In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008, in particular to allow for the integrated management, handling, storage and exchange of information and documents relevant for official checks, verifications, controls and other relevant official activities concerning importation and exportation of fishery products as foreseen under Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008, implementing and delegated powers should be conferred on the Commission relating to the functioning and development of the CATCH based on the Information Management System for Official Controls. | (75)Biex jiġu żgurati kundizzjonijiet uniformi għall-implimentazzjoni tar-Regolament (KE) Nru 1005/2008, b’mod partikolari biex ikunu jistgħu jsiru l-ġestjoni integrata, l-immaniġġjar, il-ħżin u l-iskambju ta’ informazzjoni u ta’ dokumenti rilevanti għall-ispezzjonijiet, għall-verifiki u għall-kontrolli uffiċjali u għal attivitajiet uffiċjali rilevanti oħra li jikkonċernaw l-importazzjoni u l-esportazzjoni ta’ prodotti tas-sajd kif previst fir-Regolament (KE) Nru 1005/2008, is-setgħat ta’ implimentazzjoni u delegati għandhom jingħataw lill-Kummissjoni b’rabta mal-funzjonament u mal-iżvilupp tal-CATCH fuq il-bażi tas-Sistema ta’ Ġestjoni tal-Informazzjoni għall-Kontrolli Uffiċjali. |
| (76)In order to ensure consistency among Union legal instruments governing fisheries control, certain provisions on serious infringements set out in Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008 should be deleted and, if necessary, moved to Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009, which is the main legal instrument in the fisheries control field. In Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008 reference should consequently be made to the provisions on serious infringements contained in Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009. | (76)Biex tiġi żgurata l-konsistenza fost l-istrumenti legali tal-Unjoni li jirregolaw il-kontroll tas-sajd, ċerti dispożizzjonijiet dwar ksur serju stabbiliti fir-Regolament (KE) Nru 1005/2008 għandhom jitħassru u, jekk ikun hemm bżonn, jitmexxew għar-Regolament (KE) Nru 1224/2009, li hu l-istrument legali ewlieni fil-qasam tal-kontroll tas-sajd. Għaldaqstant, fir-Regolament (KE) Nru 1005/2008 għandha ssir referenza għad-dispożizzjonijiet dwar ksur serju li jinsabu fir-Regolament (KE) Nru 1224/2009. |
| (77)Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly. | (77)Għalhekk, ir-Regolament (KE) Nru 1005/2008 għandu jiġi emendat skont dan. |
