Commission Regulation (EU) No 202/2011

of 1 March 2011

amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008 as regards the definition of fishery products and amending Regulation (EC) No 1010/2009 as regards prior notification templates, benchmarks for port inspections and recognised catch documentation schemes adopted by regional fisheries management organisations

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008 of 29 September 2008 establishing a Community system to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing1, and in particular Articles 9(1), 12(5), 13(1) and 52 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008 applies to fishery products as defined in Article 2 thereof. Annex I to that Regulation lists the products excluded from the definition of fishery products. The list of excluded products may be reviewed each year and should be amended on the basis of new information gathered under the administrative cooperation with third countries provided for in Article 20(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008.

(2)

Products excluded from the definition of fisheries products are equally listed in Annex XIII to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1010/20092 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008. In order to avoid unnecessary duplications, excluded products should be listed only in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008 and Annex XIII to Regulation (EC) No 1010/2009 should thus be deleted.

(3)

Title I of Regulation (EC) No 1010/2009 lays down provisions on the inspection of third country fishing vessels to be carried out in Member States ports. It is necessary to align those provisions with the Agreement on Port State Measures to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing, concluded in the framework of the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO). Such alignment implies the inclusion of specific information in the template to be used for prior notification of port arrivals and the addition of specific criteria to the benchmarks set out for port inspections.

(4)

Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1010/2009 lays down a list of catch documentation schemes adopted by regional fisheries management organisations which are recognised as complying with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1005/2008. That Annex should refer to the ICCAT catch documentation programme for bluefin tuna as set out in Regulation (EU) No 640/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council3.

(5)

Regulations (EC) No 1005/2008 and (EC) No 1010/2009 should be amended accordingly.

(6)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,
