REGULATION (EU) No 693/2011 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

of 6 July 2011

amending Council Regulation (EC) No 861/2006 establishing Community financial measures for the implementation of the common fisheries policy and in the area of the Law of the Sea

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 43(2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),

Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (2),

Whereas:

(1)

Council Regulation (EC) No 861/2006 (3) provides for financing in the following areas: international relations, governance, data collection and scientific advice and control and enforcement of the common fisheries policy (CFP).

(2)

In each field of action, Regulation (EC) No 861/2006 is supplemented by other related regulations or decisions. Several elements of that related legislation have evolved since the adoption of that Regulation, which should now be amended in order to ensure coherence between all the elements of the legislative framework.

(3)

Experience has also demonstrated the need to amend Regulation (EC) No 861/2006 by slightly adapting some of its provisions to better fit the current situation.

(4)

It is also necessary to clarify, where appropriate, the scope of the measures financed and to improve the drafting of some articles.

(5)

Partnerships in the international field may be concluded at bilateral, regional or multilateral level.

(6)

The fact that Regional Advisory Councils have been granted the status of bodies pursuing an aim of general European interest in Council Decision 2007/409/EC of 11 June 2007 amending Decision 2004/585/EC establishing Regional Advisory Councils under the Common Fisheries Policy (4) should be reflected in this Regulation.

(7)

In respect of the preparatory meetings of the Advisory Committee on Fisheries and Aquaculture (ACFA), the possibility should exist to grant financial support to representatives other than those from the European Trade Organisations and to allow for the financing of the costs of translation, interpretation and room hire. The list of consultative bodies for the meetings of which the ACFA plenary designates a representative should be updated.

(8)

Council Regulation (EC) No 199/2008 of 25 February 2008 concerning the establishment of a Community framework for the collection, management and use of data in the fisheries sector and support for scientific advice regarding the Common Fisheries Policy (5) has enlarged the scope of data collection in order to cover the collection, the management and the use of data and that should be explicitly acknowledged in this Regulation.

(9)

Commission Decision 2008/949/EC of 6 November 2008 adopting a multiannual Community programme pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 199/2008 (6) provides that the data to be collected are to comprise socioeconomic variables.

(10)

Eligible measures for Union financial support in the field of data collection and scientific advice are set out in Regulation (EC) No 199/2008, and Regulation (EC) No 861/2006 should be aligned with those provisions.

(11)

The programming measures in the field of data collection and scientific advice are set out in Regulation (EC) No 199/2008 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 665/2008 of 14 July 2008 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 199/2008 (7).

(12)

A number of the provisions of Council Decision 2000/439/EC of 29 June 2000 on a financial contribution from the Community towards the expenditure incurred by Member States in collecting data, and for financing studies and pilot projects for carrying out the common fisheries policy (8) were not included in Regulation (EC) No 861/2006, nor were they converted into implementing rules. This created a legal void for the years 2007 and 2008 during which period the Commission continued to apply the rules previously in force, as laid down in Decision 2000/439/EC. In the interests of legal certainty, it should be provided retroactively that those rules remained applicable during that period.

(13)

Expenditure in the area of scientific advice should include expenditure for partnership contracts with international bodies in charge of stock assessment.

(14)

The indications concerning eligible expenditure in the field of control should be presented in a clearer and more detailed way, and a link should be made with Council Regulations (EC) No 1224/2009 of 20 November 2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the Common Fisheries Policy (9) and (EC) No 1005/2008 of 29 September 2008 establishing a Community system to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (10).

(15)

Participants in training programmes in the area of control and enforcement of the CFP rules, although representing a Member State authority, are not necessarily civil servants. Therefore, expenditure incurred for the training of other personnel should also be eligible for financial measures.

(16)

The Joint Research Centre not only analyses the implementation of control activities, but also gives advice and is involved in developing new technologies.

(17)

The programming rules for the control of expenditure need to be adapted in order to improve sound financial management, notably by bringing closer the date for the submission of the applications for Union financial support and by further specifying the information to be communicated on the projects and the format in which it should be provided.

(18)

The title and the enacting terms of Regulation (EC) No 861/2006 should be changed to take account of the entry into force, on 1 December 2009, of the Treaty of Lisbon.

(19)

In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of the measures in the area of control and enforcement, and more particularly as regards expenditure incurred by Member States in implementing the monitoring and control systems applicable to the CFP, as well as measures in the area of basic data collection, management and use, implementing powers should be conferred on the Commission. Those powers should be exercised in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 182/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 February 2011 laying down the rules and general principles concerning mechanisms for control, by Member States, of the Commission’s exercise of implementing powers (11).

(20)

Regulation (EC) No 861/2006 should therefore be amended accordingly,
