[F1Commission Implementing Decision

of 29 March 2011

establishing a specific control and inspection programme related to the recovery of bluefin tuna in the eastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean]

(notified under document C(2011) 1984)

(2011/207/EU)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 of 20 November 2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy(1), and in particular Article 95 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) In 2006 the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) adopted a multiannual recovery plan for bluefin tuna in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean. That plan was transposed into Union law by Council Regulation (EC) No 1559/2007(2).

(2) ICCAT amended the recovery plan on 24 November 2008 by Recommendation 08-05. The plan thus amended was transposed into Union law by Council Regulation (EC) No 302/2009(3).

(3) To ensure the success full implementation of the amended multiannual recovery plan, Commission Decision 2009/296/EC(4) established a specific control and inspection programme covering a period of two years, from 15 March 2009 to 15 March 2011.

(4) The specific control and inspection programme related to the recovery of bluefin tuna in the eastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean, as established by Decision 2009/296/EC, is to expire on the 15 March 2011. A new Commission Decision should be adopted with a view of ensuring the continuity of that programme and implementing immediately certain provisions of ICCAT Recommendation 10-04, notably those on the early submission of required fishing and inspection plans.

(5) The new specific control and inspection programme should be set up for the period from 15 March 2011 to 15 March 2014. The results obtained through its application should be periodically evaluated in cooperation with the Member States concerned.

(6) In order to harmonise the control and inspection of the bluefin tuna fishery at Union level, it is appropriate to draw up common rules for the control and inspection activities to be carried out by the competent authorities of the Member States concerned, and that Member States adopt national control action programmes in order to comply with such common rules. To that end, benchmarks for the intensity of control and inspection activities should be fixed, as well as control and inspection priorities and procedures.

(7) To ensure the follow-up of infringements, this Decision should set up amongst others, the procedures under which the authorities concerned may exchange relevant information in accordance with Article 117 of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009.

(8) Joint inspection and surveillance activities should be carried out in accordance with joint deployment plans established by the Community Fisheries Control Agency (CFCA) set up by Council Regulation (EC) No 768/2005(5).

(9) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,
