(notified under document number C(2005) 322)

(2005/128/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1382/91 of 21 May 1991 on the submission of data on the landings of fishery products in Member States (1), and in particular Article 5(4) and (5) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
The collection of data on the landings of fishery products by Italian coastal vessels as laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 1382/91 imposes a very heavy workload on the national authorities. |
(2) |
The increased use of sampling techniques would significantly reduce this workload and has been demonstrated by the Italian authorities to significantly increase the quality of the resultant data. |
(3) |
The level of sampling envisaged in this proposed technique exceeds the limit of 10 % by weight of the fishery products provided for in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1382/91. |
(4) |
In accordance with Article 5(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1382/91, in cases where the inclusion of a particular sector of the fisheries of a Member State would cause difficulties to the national authorities incommensurate with the importance of that sector, the Commission may grant a derogation permitting such a Member State to exclude data for that sector from the national data submissions. |
(5) |
Italy should be authorised to employ sampling techniques to estimate more than the 10 % maximum by weight of fishery products landed on condition that resultant estimates of the total weight of landings are of at least an equivalent standard of reliability. |
(6) |
In accordance with Article 5(5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1382/91, this derogation shall be granted for a maximum of three years. |
(7) |
The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Agricultural Statistics, set up by Council Decision 72/279/EEC (2), |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Italy is authorised to employ sampling techniques to estimate more than the 10 % maximum by weight of fishery products landed in the reference month foreseen in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1382/91.
Article 2
This authorisation shall end on 31 December 2006.
Article 3
This Decision is addressed to the Italian Republic.
Done at Brussels, 14 February 2005.
