Appendix 2 U.K.
The U.S. Catch Documentation Scheme, as revised in 2019, is designed to issue a single form of catch certificate for export consignments from the United States to the European Union (EU) of fishery products, raw and processed.
On the U.S. catch certificate, U.S. exporters will be required to 1) list the single vessel responsible for the harvest of fish or fisheries products comprising the respective consignment with all of the applicable information required on the United States Attestation of Legal Catch; or 2) provide a vessel grouping name responsible for the harvest of fish or fisheries products comprising the respective consignment with all of the applicable information required on the United States Attestation of Legal Catch.
The grouping feature will be used for fisheries subject to significant commingling of catch at-sea or on-shore (for example, fisheries including but not limited to: those where initial catches are divided by size before further dispatch e.g., lobster; or those in which multiple harvest vessels deliver fish to tender vessels at sea).
Groupings will be managed by the U.S. producer or processor requesting the certificate and subject to audit. Reflecting current U.S. practices, the U.S. producer or processor will be responsible for retaining all information corresponding to the vessels or list of vessels which contributed to the consignment and providing that information to the U.S. Government competent authority upon request.
The single vessel or grouping feature will enable the United States to produce a single certificate per shipment while having access to the complete vessel information behind each shipment.
This information will be available to authorities in importing Member States upon request to the U.S. Government competent authority.]

Appendix 1 U.K.
Appendix 2 U.K.
Appendix 3 U.K.
The Canadian Fisheries Certificate System (FCS) is designed to issue standard and simplified catch certificates. U.K.
The FCS will be used to issue and to validate a catch certificate for export consignments from Canada to the European Union of conventional fishery products including live, fresh, frozen, salted, canned and/or smoked and dried fish, using raw material from non-vessel fisheries, aboriginal fisheries, or small and large fishing vessels and/or involving production comprising several steps in the production process.
On simplified certificates, Canada will group certain vessels to maximise efficiency. However, the FCS will maintain a complete link to vessels contained in groupings and these vessels are further linked to their license or registration information and the declared catch on the certificate.
The grouping feature will be used for some product forms and, in particular, for fisheries using collector vessels which purchase from several fishing vessels and issue records of sales at sea, for non-vessel fisheries such as beach seine, beach clams, ice fishing, for some inshore fisheries, and for aboriginal fisheries where fisheries may occur at the community level. Groupings will be export company-specific and will be modified for each shipment, as required.
The grouping feature will enable Canada to produce a single certificate per shipment while keeping all the information behind the certificate (vessel license/registration) available in the database.
This information will be available to EU Member States authorities in importing countries through our website or through direct telephone line to our certificate office.
Third parties countries may also contact the certificate office for information on indirect exports.
