COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1581/2004
of 27 August 2004
amending Regulation (EC) No 1639/2001 establishing the minimum and extended Community programmes for the collection of data in the fisheries sector and laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1543/2000
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1543/2000 of 29 June 2000 establishing a Community framework for the collection and management of the data needed to conduct the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Articles 5(1) and 8(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Whenever an on-board sampling scheme is established within the respective national programmes, access to vessels should be guaranteed for sampling purposes. Therefore, on-board observers should be accepted on any vessel in order to avoid biased estimates. |
(2) |
There is a need to assure a better sampling of stocks under recovery plans and deep-sea species, to obtain a better knowledge of these particular stocks. |
(3) |
The analysis of Member States’ reports on catch per unit of effort (hereinafter referred to as CPUE) data collected from 1995 to 2000, carried out together with the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (hereinafter referred to as the STECF), provides a basis on which to lay down the eligible CPUE data series to be collected in the future. |
(4) |
Based on the acquired experience during the first year of data collection in 2002 and taking into consideration the STECF advice, technical modifications are needed to the detailed guidelines for data collection laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1639/2001 (2), and in particular to the names of the stocks and the sampling approach for length and age sampling strategies. |
(5) |
Regulation (EC) No 1639/2001 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
(6) |
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

(1) This segment is aggregated for all passive gears.
Note 1: If a gear category contains less than 10 vessels, then the cell can be merged with a neighbouring length category to be specified in the national programme.
Note 2: If a vessel spends more than 50 % of its time using a specific type of fishing technique, it should be included in the corresponding segment.
Note 3: Length is defined as length over all (LOA).’
(2) A fishing day is to be considered as targeting one specific species, if the percentage of this species in total daily catch is higher than threshold 1.
(3) A fishing day is to be considered as affecting significantly a species, if the percentage of the particular species is higher than threshold 2.’
(4) Each present species in a particular area should be considered separately.’
