Fisheries management: Electronic recording/reporting of fishing activity
Fisheries Administrations have received a revised EU proposal on electronic recording and reporting of fishing activities and on means of remote sensing.
There are three clear aspects to the proposal:
- electronic recording of information required in logbooks, landing declarations and transhipment declarations
- electronic recording and transhipment of sales notes data by those involved in the sale at auction and purchases of first sale fish
- use of remote sensing of fishing vessels by member states
Detailed rules on the implementation of electronic recording and reporting have now been agreed in Brussels. They are contained in Commission Regulation 1566/2007. A copy of this Regulation is available on the internet at: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2007:340:0046:0057:EN:PDF
The stakeholder engagement paper explains the implications for you of this decision and seeks your comments on our proposed approach for implementation. This regulation will change current reporting practices and it is important that we have your views on its implementation. Please read your relevant sections carefully.
