2. Each Member State shall, in computer readable form, before the 15th of each month, notify the Commission of the quantities of stocks specified in Annex XIV landed during the preceding month and communicate any information received under Articles 11 and 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93.

3. The master of a Community vessel shall, in respect of catches of the species listed in Annex ID, keep:

(a) a logbook stating, by species and by processed product, the aggregate output; or

Article 31 U.K. Nets

When fishing directly for one or more of the species listed in Annex X, vessels shall not carry nets with a mesh size smaller than that laid down in Article 26. However, vessels fishing in the course of the same voyage in areas other than the NAFO Regulatory Area may keep such nets on board provided these nets are securely lashed and stowed and are not available for immediate use, that is to say:

(a)

nets shall be unshackled from their boards and their hauling or trawling cables and ropes; and

(b)

nets carried on or above the deck must be lashed securely to a part of the superstructure.

Article 32 U.K. Trans-shipment

Community vessels shall not engage in trans-shipment operations in the NAFO Regulatory Area unless they have received prior authorisation to do so from their competent authorities.

Article 33 U.K. Monitoring of fishing effort

1. Each Member State shall take the necessary measures to ensure that the fishing effort of its vessels referred to in Article 25 be commensurate to the fishing possibilities available to that Member State in the NAFO Regulatory Area.

2. Member States shall transmit to the Commission the fishing plan for their vessels fishing for species in the NAFO Regulatory Area no later than 31 January 2004 or thereafter, at least 30 days before the commencement of such activity. The fishing plan shall identify, inter alia, the vessel or vessels which will engage in these fisheries. The fishing plan shall represent the total fishing effort to be deployed with respect to the fisheries in relation to the extent of the fishing opportunities available to the Member State making the notification.

Member States shall, no later than 31 December 2004, report to the Commission on the implementation of their fishing plans, including the number of vessels actually engaged in this fishery and the total number of days fished.
