Proposal for a

REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

laying down management, conservation and control measures applicable in the

Convention area of the South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)

EN 1 EN

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1. CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL

• Reasons for and objectives of the proposal

The purpose of this proposal is to implement into EU law conservation and management and

control measures adopted in the South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO). SEAFO

was established by the Convention on the Conservation and Management of Fishery

Resources in the South East Atlantic Ocean (the Convention) to which the European Union

has been a contracting party since 2003. The SEAFO is the regional fisheries management

organisation (RFMO) responsible for managing fishery resources in the Convention area as

defined in Article 4 of the Convention. The EU currently has one fishing vessel active in that

Convention area, and it must comply with the SEAFO’s conservation and management

measures.

In accordance with Article 23 of the Convention, the SEAFO conservation and management

measures adopted by the Meeting of the Parties are binding on Contracting Parties, and each

Contracting Party is required to take all action necessary to ensure the enforcement of and

compliance with these measures.

Though aimed mainly at the Contracting Parties, SEAFO measures also impose obligations on

operators (e.g. vessel masters).

This proposal covers the measures that the Meeting of the Parties has adopted since 2003 as

amended (in some cases) at its annual meetings. The EU must ensure compliance with these

measures, as international obligations, as soon as they enter into force. This proposal is

designed to implement the most recent SEAFO measures and set up a mechanism to

implement them in the future. To swiftly implement SEAFO rules, this proposal first provides

for delegated powers to be granted to the Commission under Article 290 TFEU to cater for

amendments to SEAFO measures and ensure that EU fishing vessels are on an equal footing

with those of other Contracting Parties. Delegated powers are proposed for: (i) the

information required for vessel requirements; (ii) marking of gear; (iii) fishing logbook and

record of production; (iv) catch reports communications; (v) specifications of vessel

monitoring systems; (vi) vulnerable marine ecossytems (VMEs) area closures and changes to

the annexes to this Regulation.

Second, SEAFO data requirements and templates are already used by the Union fleet and

publicly available on the SEAFO website. These documents include SEAFO reporting

formats or data exchange documents related to: (i) the entry to and exit from particular areas;

(ii) the start and end points of setting fishing gear, transhipment and transfer operations; and

(iii) the sighting of third-country vessels. These requirements and templates change from time

to time. Therefore, it is appropriate to refer to the requirements and templates to be provided

by Members States having fishing opportunities for SEAFO fishery resources to their fishing

vessels when issuing fishing authorisations. Dynamic references to these documents are

provided in this Regulation.

The reporting deadlines set out in this proposal have been set on the basis of deadlines in the

SEAFO measures. The aim is to enable the EU to make timely submissions of reports to the

SEAFO Secretariat.

EN 2 EN

• Consistency with existing policy provisions in the policy area

This proposal complements and is generally consistent with other EU law in this area.

Derogations from existing acts are, however, provided for in certain instances due to the

nature of the more specific measures proposed.

This proposal is in line with Part VI (External policy) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 on

the common fisheries policy (CFP), which provides for the EU to conduct its external

fisheries in accordance with its international obligations and base its fishing activities on

regional fisheries cooperation.

The proposal complements Regulation (EU) 2017/24031 on external fleet management, which

provides that EU fishing vessels are subject to the list of fishing authorisations under the

conditions and rules of the RFMO in question. The proposal also complements Council

Regulation (EC) No 1005/20082 on illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing.

• Consistency with other Union policies

Not applicable

2. LEGAL BASIS, SUBSIDIARITY AND PROPORTIONALITY

• Legal basis

The proposal is based on Article 43(2) TFEU as it sets out the provisions required for

pursuing the CFP’s objectives.

• Subsidiarity (for non-exclusive competence)

As the proposal falls under the exclusive competence of the EU (Article 3(1)(d) TFEU), the

subsidiarity principle does not apply.

• Proportionality

The proposal will ensure that EU law is in line with international obligations adopted by the

Meeting of the Parties and that the EU complies with decisions taken by an RFMO to which it

is a Contracting Party. The proposal does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve these

objectives.

• Choice of the instrument

The instrument chosen is a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council.

3. RESULTS OF EX-POST EVALUATIONS, STAKEHOLDER

CONSULTATIONS AND IMPACT ASSESSMENTS

• Ex-post evaluations/fitness checks of existing legislation

Not relevant.

• Stakeholder consultations

The purpose of this proposal is to implement SEAFO measures that are binding on the

Contracting Parties. National experts and industry representatives from EU countries are

consulted both during the run-up to the annual Meeting of the Parties at which the measures

are adopted and throughout negotiations at the meeting. Consequently, the Commission did

not consider it necessary to hold a stakeholder consultation on this proposal.

• Collection and use of expertise

Not applicable

• Impact assessment

Not relevant. This concerns the implementation of measures directly applicable to Member

States.

• Regulatory fitness and simplification

This proposal is not linked to REFIT, the Commission’s regulatory fitness and performance

programme.

• Fundamental rights

This proposal has no consequences for the protection of people’s fundamental rights.

4. BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS

There are no budgetary implications.

5. OTHER ELEMENTS

• Implementation plans and monitoring, evaluation and reporting arrangements

Not applicable

• Detailed explanation of the specific provisions of the proposal

The proposal implements the management, conservation and control provisions adopted and

currently applicable in SEAFO. These provisions, concerning duties of flag Member States

and of Union fishing vessels, are related to the following areas:

(a) vessel authorisation and Member States’ obligations when fishing for the fishery

resources in the Convention area;

(b) prohibition of transhipment at sea in the Convention area;

(c) documents issued and certified by the competent authority of that flag Member State

that must be carried on board vessels;

(d) requirements for gear to be used on board;

(e) information on fishing activities, including the communication and reporting of

catches and the vessel monitoring system that allows for tracking fishing vessels;

(f) inspections carried out by inspection vessels at sea;

(g) port state control systems in Member States with fishing vessels that have been

engaged in fishing or fishing-related activities in the Convention area;

(h) promoting compliance and avoiding illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing;

(i) fishing vessels conducting research activities;

EN 4 EN

(j) exploratory fishing-related activities and encounters in closed areas and vulnerable

marine ecosystems (VMEs).

The proposal delegates powers to the Commission to amend this Regulation to adapt it to

measures adopted by SEAFO that bind the EU and its Member States concerning: vessels

requirements, marking of gear, fishing logbook, record of production, catch reports

communications, specifications of vessel monitoring systems, VME area closures and

annexes to this Regulation.

The prompt implementation of these provisions is necessary to put EU vessels on the same

footing as vessels of other SEAFO Contracting Parties for every future fishing season.

1. All longline vessels fishing south of 30 degrees South shall carry and use bird-

scaring lines (tori poles):

(a) tori poles shall be in accordance with agreed tori pole design and deployment

guidelines, provided in Annex XI;

(b) tori poles shall be deployed before longlines are placed in the water at all times

south of 30 degrees South;

(c) where practical, vessels shall be encouraged to use a second tori pole and bird-

scaring line when there are many birds or bird activity is high;

(d) back-up tori lines shall be carried by all vessels and be ready for immediate

use.

2. Longlines shall only be set at night (i.e. during the hours of darkness between the

times of nautical twilight20). During longline fishing at night, only those ship lights

that are required for safety shall be used, except where a vessel can demonstrate its

ability to fully comply with one of the three protocols described in Annex XII.

3. Vessels having caught a total of three seabirds during one fishing trip shall revert to

the night setting immediately. They shall only resume day operations on the next trip

or three months after the date on which the third seabird was caught, whichever is

longer, in order to fully comply with one of the three protocols.

4. The dumping of offal is prohibited while gear is being shot or set. The dumping of

offal during the hauling of gear shall be avoided. Any such discharge shall take

place, where possible, on the opposite side of the vessel from where the gear is being

hauled. For vessels or fisheries where there is no requirement to retain offal on board

the vessel, a system shall be in place to remove fish hooks from offal and fish heads

before they are dumped.

5. Member States shall not authorise vessels to fish in the Convention area if they lack

on-board processing facilities or sufficient capacity to retain offal on board or the

ability to dump offal on the opposite side of the vessel from where gear is being

hauled.

20 The exact times of nautical twilight are set forth in the Nautical Almanac tables for the relevant latitude,

local time and date. All times, whether for ship operations or observer reporting, shall be referenced to

GMT (e.x. 14:00 GMT +1).

EN 27 EN

6. Every effort shall be made to ensure that birds captured alive during fishing

operations are released alive and that hooks are removed without jeopardising the life

of the bird concerned whenever possible.

7. For trawl gear, a streamer (or tori) line shall be deployed outside both warp cables,

and the tori lines shall be attached to the stern at the maximum practical height above

the waterline. Back-up tori lines shall be carried by all vessels and be ready for

immediate use. Technical specifications for tori lines are set out in Annex XIII.

8. Nets shall be cleaned before shooting to remove items that might attract seabirds.

9. Vessels shall adopt shooting and hauling procedures that minimise the time that the

net is lying on the surface with slack meshes. To the extent possible, net maintenance

shall not be carried out with the net in the water.

10. Flag Member States shall collect and provide all available information to the

Commission, for transmission to the Executive Secretary, on interactions with

seabirds, including incidental catches by fishing vessels, when fishing for fishery

resources in the Convention area.

Article 38

Turtles

1. Member States shall implement the FAO ‘Guidelines to Reduce Sea Turtle Mortality

in Fishing Operations’21 to reduce the incidental catch of sea turtles and ensure the

safe handling of all turtles that are captured.

2. Member States shall collect and provide to the Commission, for transmission to the

Executive Secretary, all available information on interactions with and by-catch of

sea turtles in fishing activities in the Convention area. Member States shall foster

collaboration with other Contracting Parties to exchange information on this topic.

Chapter X

Final provisions

Article 39

Alleged non-compliance reported by the SEAFO

1. If the Commission receives any information from the SEAFO Secretariat that

indicates suspected non-compliance with the Convention or with SEAFO

conservation and management measures by a Member State or by vessels flying its

flag, the Commission shall transmit that information to the Member State concerned

as soon as possible.

2. The Member State shall provide the Commission with the findings of any

investigation carried out into the allegations of non-compliance and any action taken

to address compliance concerns at least 75 days before the start of the next ordinary

Meeting of the Contracting Parties.

3. The Commission shall forward that information to the Executive Secretary or the

SEAFO Secretariat at least 30 days before the ordinary Meeting of the Contracting

Parties.

Article 40

Confidentiality and data protection

1. Data collected and exchanged in the framework of this Regulation shall be treated in

accordance with the applicable rules on data protection and on confidentiality

pursuant to Articles 112 and 113 of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009, unless provided

otherwise in this Article.

2. Personal data collected under this Regulation shall be processed for the purposes of

implementation and enforcement of the management, conservation and control

measures laid down by this Regulation, including any enquiries pertaining to

complaints and infringements and judicial or administrative procedures relating to

thereto.

3. Personal data processed under this Regulation shall not be stored for a period longer

than 10 years, except if those personal data are necessary to allow the follow-up of

an infringement, an inspection or judicial or administrative procedures. In those

cases, the personal data may be stored for a maximum period of 20 years. If the

information is retained for a longer period, the data shall be anonymised.

Article 41

SEAFO format, data exchange documents and guides

The Member States concerned shall ensure that the masters of their vessels engaged in the

SEAFO fisheries receive the documents when they are issued a fishing authorisation or

beforehand.

Article 42

Alignment with the European Data Strategy

Explain how the requirement(s) are aligned with the European Data Strategy

This regulation aligns with the European Data Strategy by providing a data governance structure for fisheries control. It establishes rules

for collecting and sharing data, such as VMS, electronic logbooks and licensing data, to enable better decision-making, support

scientific research, and ensure the sustainable management of marine resources. By enforcing common standards like UN/FLUX, the

regulation ensures interoperability between the systems of Member States, the Commission, and the SEAFA RFMO in order to

exchange and reuse data, advancing the EU’s goal of using data for the public good of ocean conservation.

Alignment with the once-only principle

Explain how the once-only principle has been considered and how the possibility to reuse existing data has been explored

The proposal reuses existing data reporting systems mandated by the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), including the UN/FLUX

standard and FLUX Transportation Layer. The information is provided by operators only once to the public authorities and reported

once by the Member States through their national systems. The data is stored in VMS and ERS databases, and can be re-used by various

parties for different regulatory purposes. It minimises redundancy and administrative burden while facilitating reporting obligations.

Explain how newly created data is findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable, and meets high-quality standards

The introduction of electronic reporting systems ensures that data is catalogued and searchable in a systematic manner, helping to make

the data easy to find and reused for a wide range of purposes.

Annex II

Vulnerable marine ecosytem (VME) indicators and threshold levels

1. Definition of ‘encounter’

An encounter is an incidental catch, above the threshold levels set out in paragraph 2,

of corals and sponges comprising taxa listed as VME indicators by the SEAFO

Scientific Committee. The selected indicators are a regional subset of VME indicator

organisms listed in the Annex to the FAO International Guidelines for the

Management of Deep-sea Fisheries in the High Seas (2009).

2. Threshold levels

To determine if an encounter with VME indicator species has occurred, the following

threshold levels apply to each type of fishing gear listed below.

Trawl tow – more than 600 kg of live sponges and/or 60 kg of live coral in existing

fishing areas and more than 400 kg of live sponges and/or 60 kg of live coral in new

fishing areas.

Longline set – at least 10 VME indicator units (1 unit = 1 kg or 1 litre of live coral

and/or live sponge) in one 1 200 m section of line or 1 000 hooks, whichever is

shorter, in both existing and new fishing areas.

Pot set – at least 10 VME-indicator units (1 unit = 1 kg or 1 litre of live coral and/or

live sponge) in one 1200m section of line in both existing and new fishing areas.

Definition of VME-indicator units for bottom longlines and pots

The quantity of VME-indicator organisms (i.e. live corals and/or live sponges)

recovered during hauling should be reported for each 1 200m section of the longline

or potline (in the case of longlines or 1000 hooks, whichever is shorter). Reporting

should be done in the following ways:

a. report the volume (litre) for VME-indicator organisms that fit into a 10-litre

container;

b. report the weight (kg) for VME-indicator organisms that do not fit into 10-litre

container (e.g. branching species);

c. the total VME-indicator units should be calculated by combining the volume of

VME-indicator organisms that fit into a 10-litre container and the weight of those

that do not fit (i.e. unit = volume + weight).

1. TRANSHIPMENT DECLARATION

1.1. General rule

EN 19 EN

In the case of transhipment, the master of the vessel shall enter the quantities on the

transhipment declaration. A copy of the transhipment declaration shall be handed to

the master of the recipient vessel.

1.2. Procedure for completion

a. Entries on transhipment declaration shall be legible and indelible.

b. No entry on the transhipment declaration may be erased or altered. If a mistake is

made, the incorrect entry shall be struck out with a line and followed by a new entry

initialled by the master or their agent.

c. One transhipment declaration should be completed for each transhipment

operation.

d. Each page of the transhipment declaration shall be signed by the master.

1.3. Responsibilities of the master in respect of the landing declaration and the

transhipment declaration

The master of the vessel shall certify with their initials and signature that the

estimated quantities entered on the transhipment declaration are reasonable. The

copies of the transhipment declaration shall be kept for one year.

1.4. Information to be provided

For each species, the estimates of the quantities transhipped are to be indicated as

follows on one of the declaration forms in respect of a particular voyage.

Presentation of fish

‘Presentation’ means the way fish has been processed. Indicate the nature of this

processing (if any): GUT for gutting, HEAD for heading, FILLET for filleting, etc.

Where no processing has taken place, indicate WHOLE for whole fish.

Measurement unit for landed quantities

Indicate the unit of weight used (basket, box, etc.) for landing fish and the weight of

the unit in kilograms. This unit may be different from that used in the logbook.

Total weight species transhipped

Indicate the weight or quantities actually transhipped for all fishery resources

covered by the SEAFO Convention. The weight should correspond to the weight of

fish as landed, i.e. after any processing on board. Conversion coefficients will be

applied subsequently by the appropriate authorities in the Contracting Party to

calculate the corresponding live weight.

Name of port

‘Name of port, country’ refers to the port and country in which the transhipment will

take place.

1.5. Information to be transmitted

(a) In the case of transhipment to a vessel flying the flag of a Contracting Party or

registered in a Contracting Party, the first copy of the transhipment declaration

shall be handed over to the master of the recipient vessel. The original shall be

handed over or dispatched to the authorities of the Contracting Party whose

flag the vessel is flying or in which it is registered, within 48 hours of

completion of landing or arrival in port.

EN 20 EN

(b) In the case of transhipment to a vessel flying the flag of a non-Contracting

Annex X

Data collection protocol for vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs)

Observers on fishing vessels in the SEAFO Convention Area who are deployed

pursuant to Article 31, paragraph 7 of this Conservation Measure shall:

1. monitor any set for evidence of the presence of VMEs and identify coral, sponges

and other organisms to the lowest level possible;

2. record the following information on datasheets for identifying VMEs: vessel name,

gear type, date, position (latitude/longitude), depth, species code, trip number, set

number, and name of the observer ;

3. collect representative biological samples from the entire VME catch (biological

samples shall be collected and frozen when requested by the scientific authority in a

Contracting Party); for some coral species that are on the Convention on

International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) list(1),

this will not be possible and photographs of these species should be taken instead;

4. provide samples to the scientific authority of the flag state of the vessel at the end of

the fishing trip.

Annex XI

Guidelines for the design and deployment of longline tori lines

1. Introduction

These guidelines are designed to help prepare and implement tori line regulations for

longline fishing vessels. While these guidelines are relatively explicit, improving tori

line effectiveness through experimentation is encouraged. The guidelines take into

account environmental and operational variables, such as weather conditions, setting

speed and ship size, all of which influence tori line performance and design in

protecting baits from birds. Tori line design and use may change to take account of

these variables provided that line performance is not compromised. Ongoing

improvements to tori line design is envisaged and, consequently, a review of these

guidelines should be carried out in the future at the SEAFO Scientific Committee

meeting.

2. Tori line design

(a) The streamer line should be a minimum of 150 m in total length, be attached to

the vessel at a point >7 m above the sea surface (using a pole if necessary) and

tow an object (such as a length of heavy rope) at its seaward end, which creates

drag and stability. These specifications are critical to achieve the desired aerial

extent (100 m), the active portion of the streamer line and minimise fouling

with hooklines, floats and other fishing gear.

(b) The above-water section of the line should be:

(i) sufficiently light so that its movement is unpredictable to avoid birds

getting used to the movement;

(ii) sufficiently heavy to avoid deflection of the line by wind.

(c) Swivels positioned at the attachment point to the vessel, the towed object and

where streamers join the backbone help to avoid twisting and wear. These can

also incorporate breakaway points, in the event of snags with the hook line.

(d) Each branch streamer should consist of two or more strands and should be

producedusing brightly coloured, UV-protected rubber tubing. Streamers

should be spaced at intervals of less than 5 m along the streamer line backbone.

Branch streamers should be long enough to reach the sea surface in calm

conditions.

(e) Each streamer pair should be detachable by means of a clip so that line stowage

is more efficient.

(f) The in-water portion of the tori line (that creates tension on the streamer line

and thereby holds the aerial portion aloft) should be adjusted (e.g. increasing

the length of rope) to account for slower setting speeds and to ensure the

minimum aerial coverage of 100 m is always maintained.

3. Deployment of tori lines

(a) The line should be suspended from a pole affixed to the vessel. The tori pole

should be set as high as possible so that the line protects bait a good distance

astern of the vessel and does not get tangled with the fishing gear. Greater pole

height provides greater bait protection. For example, a height of around 6 m

above the water line can give about 100 m of bait protection.

EN 34 EN

(b) The tori line should be set so that streamers pass over baited hooks in the

water.

(c) Deployment of multiple tori lines is encouraged to provide even greater

protection of bait from birds.

(d) As there is the potential for line breakage and tangling, spare tori lines should

be carried on board to replace damaged lines and to ensure fishing operations

can continue uninterrupted.

(e) When fishers use a bait casting machine (BCM), they must ensure coordination

of the tori line and machine by:

(i) ensuring the BCM throws directly under the tori line protection;

(ii) ensuring that two tori lines are used when using a BCM that allows for

throwing to port and starboard.

Fishers are encouraged to install manual, electric or hydraulic winches to improve

ease of deployment and retrieval of tori lines.

4. Line weighting

(a) Vessels using autoline systems should add weights to the hookline or use

integrated weight hooklines while deploying longlines. Integrated weight (IW)

longlines of a minimum of 50 g/m or attachment to non-IW longlines of 5 kg

weights at 50 to 60 m intervals are recommended.

(b) Vessels using the Spanish method of longline fishing should release weights

before line tension occurs; weights of at least 8.5 kg mass shall be used, spaced

at intervals of no more than 40 m, or weights of at least 6 kg mass shall be

used, spaced at intervals of no more than 20 m.

(c) Furthermore, SEAFO recommends that longline fisheries consider the Chilean

system (equivalent to CCAMLR Trotline system). This system is designed to

eliminate cetacean predation on demersal longlines but simultaneously

eliminates virtually all seabird bycatch. In this system, 4-10 kg weights are

deployed per hookline.

Annex XII

Protocols for vessels monitoring the longline sink rate

SECTION 1

PROTOCOL A (FOR VESSELS MONITORING LONGLINE SINK RATE WITH TIME-

DEPTH RECORDERS (TDRS) AND USING LONGLINES TO WHICH WEIGHTS ARE

MANUALLY ATTACHED)

1. Before the licence for this fishery enters into force and once every fishing season,

either before entering the Convention area or at the first opportunity after entering

the Convention area and before starting fishing, the vessel shall, under observation

by a scientific observer:

(a) set a minimum of two longlines, unbaited if set in the Convention area, with a

minimum of four TDRs on the middle one-third of each longline, where:

(i) for vessels using the auto longline system, each longline shall be at least

6000 m in length;

(ii) for vessels using the Spanish longline system, each longline shall be at

least 16 000 m in length;

(iii) for vessels using the Spanish longline system with longlines less than 16

000 m in length, each longline shall be of the maximum length to be used

by the vessel in the Convention area;

(iv) for vessels using a longline system other than an autoline or Spanish

longline system, each longline shall be of the maximum length to be used

by the vessel in the Convention area;

(b) randomise TDR placement on the longline, noting that, except for trotlines, all

tests are applied midway between weights. In the case of trotlines, TDRs

should be placed on droppers less than 1 m from the attachment position of the

uppermost cluster of hooks (i.e. hooks most distant from line weight);

(c) calculate an individual sink rate for each TDR when returned to the vessel,

where:

(i) the sink rate shall be measured based on an average of the time taken for

the longline to sink from the surface (0 m) to 15 m;

(ii) this sink rate shall be at a minimum rate of 0.3 m/s;

(d) if the minimum sink rate is not achieved at all eight sample points (four tests

on two longlines), continue the testing until such time as a total of eight tests

with a minimum sink rate of 0.3 m/s are recorded;

(e) all equipment and fishing gear used in the tests are to follow the specifications

to be used in the Convention area.

2. During fishing, for a vessel to be allowed to maintain the exemption from night-time

setting requirements (paragraph 5), regular longline sink monitoring shall be carried

out by the scientific observer. The vessel shall cooperate with the observer who shall:

i. attempt to conduct a TDR test on one longline set every 24-hour period;

ii. place at least four TDRs on a single longline every seven days to determine any

sink rate variation along the longline;

EN 36 EN

iii. randomise TDR placement on the longline, noting that all tests are to be applied

halfway between weights;

iv. calculate an individual longline sink rate for each TDR when returned to the

vessel;

v. measure the longline sink rate based on an average of the time taken for the

longline to sink from the surface (0 m) to 15 m.

3. The vessel shall:

i. ensure that all longlines are weighted to achieve a minimum longline sink rate of

0.3 m/s at all times while operating under this exemption;

ii. report daily to its national agency on the achievement of this target while

operating under this exemption;

iii. ensure that data collected from longline sink rate tests and longline sink rate

monitoring during fishing are recorded in the SEAFO-approved format(1) and

submitted to the relevant national agency and SEAFO Executive Secretary within

two months of the vessel departing a fishery to which this measure applies.

SECTION 2

PROTOCOL B (FOR VESSELS MONITORING LONGLINE SINK RATE WITH BOTTLE

TESTS AND USING LONGLINES TO WHICH WEIGHTS ARE MANUALLY ATTACHED)

4. Before the entry into force of the licence for this fishery and once per fishing season

either before entering the Convention area or at the first opportunity after entering

the Convention area and before starting fishing, the vessel shall, under observation

by a scientific observer:

(a) set a minimum of two longlines, unbaited if set in the Convention area, with a

minimum of four bottle tests on the middle one-third of each longline, where:

(i) for vessels using the auto longline system, each longline shall be at least

6 000 m in length;

(ii) for vessels using the Spanish longline system, each longline shall be at

least 16 000 m in length;

(iii) for vessels using the Spanish longline system, with longlines less than 16

000 m in length, each longline shall be of the maximum length to be used

by the vessel in the Convention area;

(iv) for vessels using a longline system other than an autoline or Spanish

longline system, each longline shall be of the maximum length to be used

by the vessel in the Convention area;

(b) randomise bottle test placement on the longline, noting that, except for

trotlines, all tests should be applied midway between weights. For trotline

TDRs, bottles should be placed on droppers less than 1 m from the attachment

position of the uppermost cluster of hooks (i.e. hooks most distant from line

weight);

(c) calculate an individual sink rate for each bottle test at the time of the test,

where:

(1) Included in the scientific observer electronic logbook.

EN 37 EN

(i) the sink rate shall be measured based on the time taken for the longline to

sink from the surface (0 m) to 10 m;

(ii) this sink rate shall be at a minimum rate of 0.3 m/s;

(d) if the minimum sink rate is not achieved at all eight sample points (four tests

on two longlines), continue the testing until such time as a total of eight tests

with a minimum sink rate of 0.3 m/s are recorded;

(e) all equipment and fishing gear used in the tests are to be to the same

specifications as that to be used in the Convention area.

5. During fishing, for a vessel to be allowed to maintain the exemption from night-time

setting requirements (paragraph 5), regular longline sink rate monitoring shall be

carried out by the scientific observer. The vessel shall cooperate with the observer

who shall:

(a) attempt to conduct a bottle test on one longline set every 24-hour period;

(b) conduct at least four bottle tests on a single longline every seven days to

determine any sink rate variation along the longline;

(c) randomise bottle test placement on the longline, noting that all tests should be

applied halfway between weights;

(d) calculate an individual longline sink rate for each bottle test at the time of the

test;

(e) measure the longline sink rate as the time taken for the longline to sink from

the surface (0 m) to 10 m.

6. The vessel shall:

(a) ensure that all longlines are weighted to achieve a minimum longline sink rate

of 0.3 m/s at all times while operating under this exemption;

(b) report daily to its national agency on the achievement of this target while

operating under this exemption;

(c) ensure that data collected from longline sink rate tests and longline sink rate

monitoring during fishing are recorded in the SEAFO-approved format and

submitted to the relevant national agency and SEAFO Executive Secretary

within two months of the vessel departing a fishery to which this measure

applies.

7. A bottle test is to be conducted as described below.

Bottle set-up

(a) 10 m of 2 mm multifilament nylon snood twine, or equivalent, is securely

attached to the neck of a 500-1 000 ml plastic bottle(2) with a longline clip

attached to the other end. The length measurement is taken from the attachment

point (terminal end of the clip) to the neck of the bottle, and should be checked

by the observer every few days.

(b) Reflective tape should be wrapped around the bottle to allow it to be observed

in low light conditions and at night.

(2) A plastic water bottle that has a ‘stopper’ is needed. The stopper of the bottle is left open so that the

bottle will fill with water after being pulled under water. This allows the plastic bottle to be reused

rather than being crushed by water pressure.

EN 38 EN

(c) The bottle is emptied of water, the stopper is left open and the twine is wrapped

around the body of the bottle for setting. The bottle with the encircled twine is

attached to the longline(3), midway between weights (the attachment point).

(d) The observer records the time at which the attachment point enters the water as

t1 in seconds. The time at which the bottle is observed to be pulled completely

under is recorded as t2 in seconds(4). The result of the test is calculated as

follows: Longline sink rate = 10 / (t2 - t1).

(e) The result should be equal to or greater than 0.3 m/s. These data are to be

recorded in the space provided in the electronic observer logbook.

SECTION 3

PROTOCOL C (FOR VESSELS MONITORING LONGLINE SINK RATE WITH EITHER

TDR OR BOTTLE TESTS, AND USING INTERNALLY WEIGHTED LONGLINES WITH

INTEGRATED WEIGHT OF AT LEAST 50 G/M AND DESIGNED TO SINK INSTANTLY

WITH A LINEAR PROFILE AT GREATER THAN 0.2 M/S WITH NO EXTERNAL

WEIGHTS ATTACHED)

8. Before the entry into force of the licence for this fishery and once per fishing season

either before entering the Convention area or at the first opportunity after entering

the Convention area and before starting fishing, the vessel shall, under observation

by a scientific observer:

(a) set a minimum of two longlines, unbaited if set in the Convention area, with

either a minimum of four TDRs, or a minimum of four bottle tests on the

middle one-third of each longline, where:

(i) for vessels using the auto longline system, each longline shall be at least

6 000 m in length;

(ii) for vessels using the Spanish longline system, each longline shall be at

least 16 000 m in length;

(iii) for vessels using a longline system other than an autoline or Spanish

longline system, each longline shall be of the maximum length to be used

by the vessel in the Convention area;

(b) randomise TDR or bottle test placement on the longline;

(c) calculate an individual sink rate for each TDR when returned to the vessel, or

for each bottle test at the time of the test, where:

(i) the sink rate shall be measured based on an average of the time taken for

the longline to sink from the surface (0 m) to 15 m for TDRs and the time

taken for the longline to sink from the surface (0 m) to 10 m for bottle

tests;

(ii) this sink rate shall be at a minimum rate of 0.2 m/s;

(d) if the minimum sink rate is not achieved at all eight sample points (four tests

on two longlines), continue the testing until such time as a total of eight tests

with a minimum sink rate of 0.2 m/s are recorded;

(3) On autolines, attach to the backbone; on the Spanish longline system, attach to the hookline. (4) Binoculars will make this process easier to view, especially in foul weather.

EN 39 EN

(e) all equipment and fishing gear used in the tests are to be to the same

specifications as that to be used in the Convention area.

9. During fishing, for a vessel to be allowed to maintain the exemption from night-time

setting requirements (paragraph 5), regular longline sink rate monitoring shall be

carried out by the scientific observer. The vessel shall cooperate with the observer

who shall:

(a) attempt to conduct a TDR or bottle test on one longline set every 24-hour

period;

(b) conduct at least four TDR or bottle tests every seven days on a single longline

to determine any sink rate variation along the longline;

(c) randomise TDR or bottle test placement on the longline;

(d) calculate an individual longline sink rate for each TDR when returned to the

vessel or each bottle test at the time of the test;

(e) measure the longline sink rate for bottle tests based on the time taken for the

longline to sink from the surface (0 m) to 10 m, or, for TDRs, the average of

the time taken for the longline to sink from the surface (0 m) to 15 m.

10. The vessel shall:

(a) ensure that all longlines are set so as to achieve a minimum longline sink rate

of 0.2 m/s at all times while operating under this exemption;

(b) report daily to its national agency on the achievement of this target while

operating under this exemption;

(c) ensure that data collected from longline sink rate tests and longline sink rate

monitoring during fishing are recorded in the SEAFO-approved format and

submitted to the relevant national agency and SEAFO Executive Secretary

within two months of the vessel departing a fishery to which this measure

applies.

Annex XIII

Guidelines for the design and deployment of trawl tori lines

1. The main line should consist of 50 m of 9 mm line.

2. Streamers should be attached at 5 m intervals and be long enough to reach the water

in calm conditions.

3. It is essential that streamers are made from semi-flexible tubing of high visibility.

The recommended material is UV-protected fluorescent red polythene tubing or

alternatives, such as a fire hose. Old waterproofs and dark-coloured tubing are not

acceptable.

4. The lines should be mounted two metres outboard of the trawl blocks on both the

port and starboard sides. It may be necessary to weld short extension arms to the

handrail in order to achieve this distance.

5. Streamer lines should be deployed once the trawl doors are submerged and retrieved

as net hauling starts. It is important to retrieve the streamer lines before hauling as

vessels often go astern during this process, which can suck the tori lines underwater

and lead to problems.

6. A spare streamer line should be carried and deployed in case a line is lost or

damaged.

7. The tori lines should be deployed after shooting and retrieved before hauling to

minimise entanglement. However, the lines should be flown during trawling.

Ettepanek:

EUROOPA PARLAMENDI JA NÕUKOGU MÄÄRUS,

millega kehtestatakse Atlandi ookeani kaguosa kalandusorganisatsiooni

konventsioonialal kohaldatavad majandamis-, kaitse- ja kontrollimeetmed

ET 1 ET

SELETUSKIRI

1. ETTEPANEKU TAUST

• Ettepaneku põhjused ja eesmärgid

Käesoleva ettepaneku eesmärk on rakendada ELi õiguses kaitse-, majandamis- ja

kontrollimeetmed, mis on vastu võetud Atlandi ookeani kaguosa kalandusorganisatsioonis

(edaspidi „SEAFO“). SEAFO asutati Atlandi ookeani kaguosa kalavarude kaitse ja

majandamise konventsiooniga (edaspidi „konventsioon“), mille osaline on Euroopa Liit alates

2003. aastast. SEAFO on piirkondlik kalandusorganisatsioon, kes vastutab kalavarude

majandamise eest konventsioonialal, nagu on määratletud konventsiooni artiklis 4. ELil on

praegu sellel konventsioonialal üks tegutsev kalalaev ning ta peab järgima SEAFO kaitse- ja

majandamismeetmeid.

Konventsiooni artikli 23 kohaselt on konventsiooniosaliste koosolekul vastu võetud SEAFO

kaitse- ja majandamismeetmed konventsiooniosalistele siduvad ning iga konventsiooniosaline

peab võtma kõik vajalikud meetmed, et tagada nende meetmete jõustamine ja järgimine.

Kuigi SEAFO meetmed on suunatud peamiselt lepinguosalistele, pannakse nendega

kohustused ka käitajatele (nt laevakaptenitele).

Käesolev ettepanek hõlmab meetmeid, mille konventsiooniosaliste koosolek on vastu võtnud

alates 2003. aastast ja mida on (mõnel juhul) aastakoosolekutel muudetud. EL peab tagama

nende meetmete kui rahvusvaheliste kohustuste täitmise kohe, kui need jõustuvad. Selle

ettepaneku eesmärk on rakendada kõige uuemad SEAFO meetmed ja luua mehhanism nende

rakendamiseks tulevikus. SEAFO eeskirjade kiireks rakendamiseks nähakse käesoleva

ettepanekuga esiteks ette komisjonile ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 290 alusel antavad

delegeeritud volitused SEAFO meetmete muutmiseks ning selle tagamiseks, et ELi kalalaevad

on võrdses olukorras muude konventiooniosalistega. Kavandatud delegeeritud volitused

hõlmavad järgmist: i) nõutav teave seoses kalalaevade suhtes kehtivate nõuetega; ii)

püügivahendite märgistamine; iii) püügipäevik ja toodangupäevik; iv) püügiaruandeid

käsitlev teabevahetus; v) laevaseiresüsteemide spetsifikatsioonid; vi) ohualdiste

mereökosüsteemide aladel püügi keelamine ja käesoleva määruse lisade muutmine.

Teiseks, SEAFO andmenõuded ja -vormid on liidu laevastikus juba kasutusel ning need on

SEAFO veebisaidil avalikult kättesaadavad. Nende dokumentide hulka kuuluvad SEAFO

aruandevormid ja andmevahetusdokumendid, mis hõlmavad järgmist: i) konkreetsetesse

piirkondadesse sisenemine ja sealt lahkumine; ii) püügivahendite vettelaskmise,

ümberlaadimise ja üleviimise algus- ja lõpp-punktid ning iii) kolmandate riikide laevade

vaatlemine. Neid nõudeid ja vorme muudetakse aeg-ajalt. Seepärast on asjakohane viidata

nõuetele ja vormidele, mille SEAFO kalavarude püügi võimalusi omavad liikmesriigid

peavad kalapüügilubade väljastamisel oma kalalaevadele edastama. Käesolevas määruses on

esitatud dünaamilised viited nendele dokumentidele.

Käesolevas ettepanekus sätestatud aruandlustähtajad on kehtestatud SEAFO meetmetes

esitatud tähtaegade alusel. Eesmärk on tagada, et EL esitab oma aruanded SEAFO

sekretariaadile õigel ajal.

• Kooskõla poliitikavaldkonnas praegu kehtivate õigusnormidega

Käesolev ettepanek täiendab teisi selle valdkonna ELi õigusakte ja on nendega üldiselt

kooskõlas. Kavandatud spetsiifilisemate meetmete laadi tõttu nähakse teatavatel juhtudel

siiski ette erandid olemasolevatest õigusaktidest.

ET 2 ET

Ettepanek on kooskõlas ühise kalanduspoliitika määruse (EL) nr 1380/2013 VI osaga

(„Välispoliitika“), milles on sätestatud, et EL arendab kalandusalaseid välissuhteid kooskõlas

oma rahvusvaheliste kohustustega ja tema püügitegevus põhineb piirkondlikul

kalanduskoostööl.

Ettepanekuga täiendatakse määrust (EL) 2017/24031 välispüügilaevastike majandamise kohta,

milles on sätestatud, et ELi kalalaevadele peab olema väljastatud kalapüügiluba vastavalt

asjaomase piirkondliku kalandusorganisatsiooni tingimustele ja normidele. Ettepanekuga

täiendatakse ka nõukogu määrust (EÜ) nr 1005/20082 ebaseadusliku, teatamata ja

reguleerimata kalapüügi kohta.

• Kooskõla muude liidu tegevuspõhimõtetega

Ei kohaldata

2. ÕIGUSLIK ALUS, SUBSIDIAARSUS JA PROPORTSIONAALSUS

• Õiguslik alus

Ettepanek põhineb ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 43 lõikel 2, kuna sellega nähakse ette sätted,

mis on vajalikud ühise kalanduspoliitika eesmärkide saavutamiseks.

• Subsidiaarsus (ainupädevusse mittekuuluva valdkonna puhul)

Ettepanek tehakse liidu ainupädevusse kuuluvas valdkonnas (ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 3

lõike 1 punkt d). Subsidiaarsuse põhimõtet seetõttu ei kohaldata.

• Proportsionaalsus

Ettepanekuga tagatakse, et liidu õigus on kooskõlas konventsiooniosalise koosolekul vastu

võetud rahvusvaheliste kohustustega ning et EL täidab otsuseid, mille on teinud piirkondlikud

kalandusorganisatsioonid, mille lepinguosaline on EL. Ettepanek piirdub üksnes sellega, mis

on vajalik nende eesmärkide saavutamiseks.

• Vahendi valik

Kavandatud vahend on Euroopa Parlamendi ja nõukogu määrus.

3. JÄRELHINDAMISE, SIDUSRÜHMADEGA KONSULTEERIMISE JA MÕJU

HINDAMISE TULEMUSED

• Praegu kehtivate õigusaktide järelhindamine või toimivuse kontroll

Ei ole asjakohane.

• Konsulteerimine sidusrühmadega

Käesoleva ettepaneku eesmärk on rakendada SEAFO meetmeid, mis on

konventsiooniosalistele siduvad. Enne aastakoosolekuid, kus meetmed vastu võetakse, ja ka

aastakoosolekutel toimuvate läbirääkimiste käigus konsulteeritakse ELi liikmesriikide

ekspertide ja tööstusharu esindajatega. Seetõttu ei pidanud komisjon vajalikuks konsulteerida

ettepaneku üle sidusrühmadega.

5. MUU TEAVE

• Rakenduskavad ning järelevalve, hindamise ja aruandluse kord

Ei kohaldata

• Ettepaneku sätete üksikasjalik selgitus

Ettepanekuga rakendatakse SEAFOs vastu võetud ja praegu kohaldatavaid majandamis-,

kaitse- ja kontrollisätteid. Need lipuliikmesriikide ja liidu kalalaevade kohustusi käsitlevad

sätted on seotud järgmiste valdkondadega:

(a) laeva püügiluba ja liikmesriikide kohustused konventsiooniala kalavarude püügil;

(b) merel ümberlaadimise keeld konventsioonialal;

(c) lipuliikmesriigi pädeva asutuse välja antud ja kinnitatud dokumendid, mis peavad

olema laeva pardal;

(d) nõuded pardal kasutatavatele vahenditele;

(e) teave püügitegevuse kohta, sealhulgas saagist teatamine ja püügiaruanded ning

laevaseiresüsteem, mis võimaldab kalalaevu jälgida;

(f) inspekteerimislaevade poolt merel tehtud kontrollid;

(g) sadamariigi kontrollisüsteemid liikmesriikides, mille kalalaevad on tegelenud

kalapüügi või kalapüügiga seotud tegevusega konventsioonialal;

(h) järgimise edendamine ning võitlus ebaseadusliku, teatamata ja reguleerimata

kalapüügiga;

(i) teadusuuringuid tegevad kalalaevad;

(j) uurimusliku kalapüügiga seotud tegevus ning kokkupuuted keelualadel ja ohualdistes

mereökosüsteemides.

Ettepanekus nähakse komisjonile ette õigus muuta käesolevat määrust, et kohandada seda

SEAFO vastuvõetud meetmetega, mis on ELi ja liikmesriikide jaoks siduvad, seoses

järgmisega: laevadele esitatavad nõuded, püügivahendite märgistamine, püügipäevik,

ET 4 ET

toodangupäevik, püügiaruanded, laevaseiresüsteemide spetsifikatsioonid, ohualdiste

mereökosüsteemide aladel püügi keelamine ja käesoleva määruse lisad.

Kõnealused sätted on vaja kiiresti rakendada, et ELi laevad saaksid igal tulevasel

püügihooajal kalapüügiga tegeleda samadel alustel kui teiste SEAFO konventsiooni osaliste

laevad.

Sadamariigi kontroll

Artikkel 20

Kohaldamisala

Liikmesriigid rakendavad tõhusat sadamariigi kontrollisüsteemi kõigi laevade suhtes, mis on

tegelenud kalapüügi või kalapüügiga seotud tegevusega konventsioonialal, välja arvatud

konteinerlaevad, mis ei vea kala. Konteinerlaevade suhtes, mis veavad kala, ei kohaldata

sadamariigi kontrollimeetmeid juhul, kui asjaomane kala on eelnevalt lossitud, tingimusel et

puudub selge alus kahtluseks, et laev on tegelenud kalapüügiga seotud tegevusega, mis toetab

ebaseaduslikku, teatamata ja reguleerimata kalapüüki.

Artikkel 21

Sadamate määramine

1. Liikmesriigid määravad sadamad, kus konventsioonialal püütud kala vedavad

välisriikide laevad võivad taotleda lossimist, ümberlaadimist või sadamateenuste

kasutamist. Liikmesriigid teatavad nende sadamate nimed komisjonile. Komisjon

saadab selle teabe võimalikult kiiresti edasi SEAFO sekretariaadile, kes avaldab selle

oma veebisaidil.

2. Liikmesriigid tagavad, et määratud sadamatel on piisav suutlikkus korraldada

kontrolli ja võtta muid meetmeid kooskõlas SEAFO kehtestatud kohustustega.

Artikkel 22

Välisriigi laeva taotlus sadamasse sisenemiseks

Enne välisriigi laeva oma sadamasse lubamist nõuab iga liikmesriik vähemalt VII lisas

sätestatud teavet. Liikmesriik esitab selle teabe vähemalt 48 tundi enne laeva eeldatavat

saabumisaega komisjonile, kes edastab selle võimalikult kiiresti täitevsekretärile.

Artikkel 23

Välisriigi laeva sadamasse sisenemise luba või keeld

1. Iga sadamaliikmesriik otsustab, kas lubada laev oma sadamasse või mitte, kui ta on

saanud artiklis 22 sätestatud ja vajaduse korral muu teabe, mida ta võib vajada, et

teha kindlaks, kas sadamasse sisenemist taotlev laev on tegelenud ebaseadusliku,

teatamata ja reguleerimata kalapüügiga, ning edastab seejärel otsuse laeva kaptenile

või esindajale.

2. Juhul kui laev saab loa siseneda, peab laeva kapten või esindaja esitama sadamasse

saabumisel sisenemisloa sadamaliikmesriigi pädevale ametiasutusele.

3. Sisenemiskeelu korral edastab sadamaliikmesriik lõike 1 kohaselt tehtud otsuse laeva

lipuriigile ja täitevsekretärile, kes avaldab selle teabe SEAFO veebisaidil.

4. Ilma et see piiraks lõike 1 kohaldamist, keelab sadamaliikmesriik laeval oma

sadamatesse siseneda, kui sellel liikmesriigil on piisavalt tõendeid selle kohta, et

sisenemisluba taotlev laev on tegelenud ebaseadusliku, teatamata ja reguleerimata

kalapüügiga, eriti kui kõnealune laev on kantud ebaseadusliku, teatamata ja

ET 18 ET

reguleerimata kalapüügiga või kalapüügiga seotud tegevusega tegelenud laevade

nimekirja, mille on vastu võtnud SEAFO või muu piirkondlik

kalandusorganisatsioon.

5. Lisaks lõigetele 3 ja 4 võib sadamaliikmesriik lubada nimetatud lõigetes osutatud

laeval siseneda oma sadamasse üksnes selleks, et laeva inspekteerida ja võtta

kooskõlas rahvusvahelise õigusega muid asjakohaseid meetmeid, mis on

ebaseadusliku, teatamata ja reguleerimata kalapüügi vältimise, ärahoidmise ja

lõpetamise seisukohast vähemalt sama tõhusad kui keeldumine sadamasse

sisenemise loa andmisest.

6. Kui lõikes 4 või 5 osutatud laev on mis tahes põhjusel sadamas, keelab

sadamaliikmesriik sellel laeval kasutada oma sadamaid kalavarude lossimiseks,

ümberlaadimiseks, pakendamiseks ja töötlemiseks ning muudeks sadamateenusteks,

sealhulgas punkerdamiseks, hoolduseks ja kuivdokki viimiseks. Artikli 24 lõikeid 2

ja 3 kohaldatakse sellisel juhul mutatis mutandis.

Artikkel 24

Sadamate kasutamine välisriikide laevade poolt

1. Kui välisriigi laev on sisenenud sadamasse, ei luba sadamaliikmesriik sellel kasutada

oma sadamat varem lossimata kalasaagi lossimiseks, ümberlaadimiseks,

pakendamiseks või töötlemiseks ega kasutada muid sadamateenuseid, sealhulgas

tankida ja varusid täiendada, teha hooldustöid ja kasutada kuivdokki, järgmistel

juhtudel:

(a) sadamaliikmesriik leiab, et laeval ei ole tema lipuriigi nõutavat kehtivat ja

kohaldatavat luba tegeleda kalapüügi või kalapüügiga seotud tegevusega;

(b) lipuriik ei kinnita sadamariigi taotlusel mõistliku aja jooksul, et laeva pardal

olev kala on püütud kooskõlas kohaldatavate SEAFO nõuetega;

(c) sadamaliikmesriigil on põhjust arvata, et laev on muul moel seotud

ebaseadusliku, teatamata ja reguleerimata kalapüügiga, sealhulgas artikli 23

lõikes 4 osutatud laeva toetava tegevusega, välja arvatud juhul, kui laev suudab

tõendada järgmist:

(i) ta tegutses kooskõlas asjaomaste kaitse- ja majandamismeetmetega;

(ii) meeskonna, kütuse, püügivahendite ja muude varude täiendamise korral

merel ei olnud see laev varude täiendamise ajal artikli 23 lõikes 4

osutatud laev.

2. Lisaks käesoleva artikli lõikele 1 ei keela sadamaliikmesriik selles lõikes osutatud

laeval kasutada sadamateenust, kui

(a) teenus on oluline meeskonna ohutuse või tervise või laeva ohutuse seisukohast,

tingimusel et seda on nõuetekohaselt tõendatud, või

(b) teenust on vaja, et lammutada laev vanametalliks.

3. Kui sadamaliikmesriik on käesoleva artikli kohaselt keelanud kasutada oma sadamat,

teavitab ta sellest viivitamata lipuriiki, komisjoni ja täitevsekretäri, kes avaldab selle

teabe SEAFO veebisaidil.

koolitatud ja tunnevad konventsiooni ning kõiki SEAFO vastuvõetud asjakohaseid

kaitse- ja majandamismeetmeid. Inspektorite koolitusprogrammides võetakse arvesse

SEAFO süsteemi VII lisas sätestatud elemente.

2. Inspektor esitab enne inspekteerimist laeva kaptenile asjakohase isikut tõendava

dokumendi.

3. Iga sadamaliikmesriik tagab, et tema sadamates inspekteeritakse laevu vastavalt

SEAFO süsteemi VIII lisas sätestatud korrale.

4. Sadamaliikmesriik võib kutsuda teiste konventsiooniosaliste inspektoreid oma

inspektoreid saatma ja jälgima välisriigi laeva püütud kalavarude lossimise ja

ümberlaadimise inspekteerimist.

5. Iga sadamaliikmesriik tagab, et tema inspektorid teevad kõik endast oleneva, et

vältida laeva asjatut kinnipidamist, ning kannab hoolt selle eest, et kontroll häiriks

laeva nii vähe kui võimalik ja et kalandustoodete kvaliteet ei halvene.

6. Pärast inspekteerimise lõpetamist esitab sadamaliikmesriigi inspektor välisriigi

kalalaeva kaptenile inspekteerimisaruande, mis sisaldab SEAFO süsteemi IX lisas

sätestatud inspekteerimise tulemusi, sealhulgas võimalikke edasisi meetmeid, mida

sadamaliikmesriik võib võtta. Kaptenile antakse võimalus lisada aruandele märkusi

või vastuväiteid ning võtta ühendust lipuriigiga. Inspektor ja kapten kirjutavad

aruandele alla ning kaptenile antakse aruande koopia. Kapteni allkiri on üksnes

kinnitus aruande koopia kättesaamise kohta.

7. Sadamaliikmesriik edastab inspekteerimisaruande koopia täitevsekretärile 14 päeva

jooksul pärast inspekteerimise lõpetamise kuupäeva. Kui inspekteerimisaruannet ei

ole võimalk saata 14 päeva jooksul, teatab sadamaliikmesriik täitevsekretärile sama

tähtaja jooksul viivituse põhjused ja aja, mil aruanne esitatakse, ning lisab koopia

komisjonile.

8. Kui saak lossitakse konventsiooniga ühinemata riigi sadamas, edastab lipuliikmesriik

teabe saagi lossimise kohta SEAFO sekretariaadile võimalikult kiiresti pärast

lossimist. Teave sisaldab kuupäeva, sadama nime, kalalaeva nime ja saagi kaalu

liikide kaupa. Kui lossimist kontrollib konventsiooniga ühinemata sadamariik,

edastab lipuliikmesriik inspekteerimisaruande koopia täitevsekretärile 30 päeva

jooksul pärast seda, kui konventsiooniga ühinemata sadamariik on

inspekteerimisaruande kätte saanud. Kui inspekteerimisaruannet ei ole võimalik

30 päeva jooksul saata, teatab lipuliikmesriik täitevsekretärile 30 päeva jooksul

pärast ettenähtud esitamistähtpäeva viivituse põhjused ja aja, mil aruanne esitatakse,

ning lisab koopia komisjonile. Kui inspekteerimise käigus tehakse kindlaks

rikkumiskahtlus, teatab lipuliikmesriik sadamakontrolli aruande esitamisel ka

rikkumise laadi ja muud üksikasjad.

Artikkel 26

Menetlus ilmse rikkumise korral

1. Kui inspekteerimisel kogutud teave tõendab, et välisriigi kalalaev on toime pannud

SEAFO kaitse- ja majandamismeetmete ilmse rikkumise, teeb inspektor järgmist:

ET 20 ET

(a) kannab ilmse rikkumise VIII lisas sätestatud inspekteerimisaruandesse;

(b) võtab kõik meetmed, et tagada ilmse rikkumise tõendite turvaline säilitamine.

viivitamata selle inspekteeritud laeva lipuriigi määratud ametiasutusele,

täitevsekretärile, komisjonile ja rannikuriigile (rannikuriikidele), kelle vetes

rikkumine toimus.

3. Kui ilmne rikkumine kuulub sadamaliikmesriigi jurisdiktsiooni alla, teatab ta võetud

meetmetest viivitamata lipuriigile (lisades koopia komisjonile), asjaomasele

rannikuriigile (asjaomastele rannikuriikidele) ja täitevsekretärile, kes avaldab selle

teabe viivitamata SEAFO veebisaidi turvalises osas.

4. Ilmsed rikkumised, mis ei kuulu sadamaliikmesriigi jurisdiktsiooni alla, ja käesoleva

artikli lõikes 2 osutatud ilmsed rikkumised, mille suhtes sadamaliikmesriik ei ole

meetmeid võtnud, edastatakse lipuriigile (lisades koopia komisjonile) ja vajaduse

korral asjaomasele rannikuriigile (asjaomastele rannikuriikidele).

5. Inspekteerimisaruande ja tõendite koopia saamisel uurib lipuliikmesriik rikkumist

viivitamata. Kuue kuu jooksul pärast aruande saamist teavitab lipuliikmesriik

täitevsekretäri uurimise seisust ja võimalikest võetud täitemeetmetest, lisades koopia

komisjonile. Kui lipuliikmesriik ei saa täitevsekretäri kõnealuse tähtaja jooksul

teavitada, teatab lipuliikmesriik sama tähtaja jooksul SEAFO sekretariaadile viivituse

põhjused ja aja, mil uurimise seisu kohta aruanne esitatakse, ning lisab koopia

komisjonile.

Haid

1. Iga liikmesriik esitab igal aastal komisjonile haipüügi andmed ja komisjon edastab

need täitevsekretärile.

2. Kalurid kasutavad ära kogu haisaagi. See tähendab, et kalalaevad säilitavad hai kõiki

osi, välja arvatud pea, sisikond ja nahk, kuni esimese lossimiskohani.

3. Liidu kalalaevadel on keelatud pardal hoida, ümber laadida või lossida uimi, mis on

kogutud vastuolus käesoleva artikliga.

4. Sellise püügitegevuse puhul, mis ei ole suunatud haidele, soodustab iga liikmesriik

võimaluse korral selliste elushaide, eelkõige noorkalade vabastamist, mis on püütud

juhuslikult ning mida ei kasutata toiduks ja/või elatiseks.

Artikkel 37

Merelinde käsitlevad leevendusmeetmed

1. Kõik õngejadalaevad, kes püüavad kala lõuna pool 30. lõunalaiuskraadi, on

varustatud linnutõrjevahenditega (linnupeleti tokid):

(a) linnupeleti tokid peavad vastama linnupeleti toki kokkulepitud kujule ja

kasutamiseeskirjadele, mis on esitatud XI lisas;

(b) linnupeleti tokid tuleb kasutusele võtta enne õngejada vettelaskmist alati, kui

kalapüük toimub lõuna pool 30. lõunalaiuskraadi;

(c) kalalaevu kutsutakse üles kasutama veel teist linnupeleti tokki ja linnutõrjeliini,

kui linde on palju või nad on väga aktiivsed;

(d) kõigil kalalaevadel peavad olema kasutamisvalmis varutõrjeliinid.

2. Õngejadad lastakse vette üksnes öösel (s.o kahe nautilise hämariku vahelisel pimedal

ajal20). Öisel õngejadaga püügil kasutatakse ainult selliseid laevatulesid, mis on

vajalikud ohutuse tagamiseks, välja arvatud juhul, kui laev tõendab, et ta suudab

täielikult järgida ühte XII lisas kirjeldatud kolmest protokollist.

20 Nautilise hämariku täpsed kellaajad on esitatud käsiraamatu „Nautical Almanac“ tabelites iga

laiuskraadi, kohaliku aja ja kuupäeva kohta. Kõik kellaajad nii laevade kui ka vaatlejate tegevuse

dokumenteerimisel esitatakse koos viitega Greenwichi ajale (GMT) (nt 14:00 GMT +1).

ET 26 ET

3. Laevad, mis on ühe püügireisi jooksul püüdnud kokku kolm merelindu, pöörduvad

viivitamata tagasi öise püügi juurde. Nad jätkavad päevast tegevust üksnes järgmisel

püügireisil või kolm kuud pärast kolmanda merelinnu püügikuupäeva, olenevalt

sellest, kumb vahemik on pikem, et täielikult järgida ühte kolmest protokollist.

4. Püügivahendite vettelaskmise ajal on keelatud rappeid vette heita. Tuleb vältida

rapete vette heitmist püügivahendite haalamise ajal. Rapete vetteheitmine peab

võimaluse korral toimuma laeva teisel pardal, mitte sellel, kus haalatakse

püügivahendeid. Laevade või püügi korral, mille puhul ei ole nõuet hoida rappeid

laeva pardal, on vajalik süsteem, millega rapetest ja kalapeadest eemaldatakse enne

vetteheitmist kõik konksud.

5. Liikmesriigid ei luba laevadel konventsioonialal kala püüda, kui neil puuduvad

rapete pardal hoidmiseks töötlemisseadmed või piisavad mahutid või võimalus heita

rappeid merre laeva teisel pardal, mitte sellel, kus haalatakse püügivahendeid.

6. Tehakse kõik vajalik, et püügivahenditesse elusana kinnijäänud linnud vabastataks

elusana ja et võimaluse korral eemaldataks konksud ilma asjaomase linnu elu ohtu

seadmata.

7. Traalnootade puhul kasutatakse peletuspaela (või linnutõrjeliini) mõlemast

vaierikaablist väljaspool ning linnutõrjeliinid kinnitatakse ahtri külge veejoonest

maksimaalsel praktilisel kõrgusel. Kõigil kalalaevadel peavad olema

kasutamisvalmis varutõrjeliinid. Linnutõrjeliinide tehnilised kirjeldused on esitatud

XIII lisas.

8. Enne vettelaskmist tuleb võrgud puhastada, et eemaldada kõik, mis võiks merelinde

kohale meelitada.

9. Laevad rakendavad võrkude vettelaskmisel ja haalamisel korda, mille puhul on

viidud miinimumini ajavahemik, mil lõtvade võrgusilmadega võrk on veepinnal.

Võrkude vees hooldamist tuleks vältida nii palju kui võimalik.

10. Lipuliikmesriigid koguvad andmeid konventsioonialal kala püüdvate kalalaevade

kokkupuudete kohta merelindudega ja esitavad kõik kogutud andmed komisjonile,

kes edastab need täitevsekretärile.

Artikkel 38

Kilpkonnad

1. Liikmesriigid rakendavad FAO suuniseid „Merikilpkonnade suremuse vähendamine

seoses püügitoimingutega“,21 et vähendada merikilpkonnade juhupüüki ja tagada

kõigi püütud kilpkonnade ohutu käsitsemine.

2. Liikmesriigid koguvad teavet ja esitavad komisjonile täitevsekretärile edastamiseks

kogu kättesaadava teabe merikilpkonnadega kokkupuudete ja nende kaaspüügi kohta

konventsioonialal toimuva püügitegevuse käigus. Liikmesriigid edendavad koostööd

teiste konventsiooniosalistega, et vahetada sellel teemal teavet.

Artikkel 43

Delegeeritud volituste rakendamine

1. Komisjonile antakse õigus võtta käesolevas artiklis sätestatud tingimustel vastu

delegeeritud õigusakte.

2. Artiklis 42 osutatud õigus võtta vastu delegeeritud õigusakte antakse komisjonile

viieks aastaks alates käesoleva määruse jõustumise kuupäevast. Komisjon esitab

aruande delegeeritud volituste kohta hiljemalt üheksa kuud enne viieaastase tähtaja

möödumist. Volituste delegeerimist pikendatakse automaatselt sama pikaks

ajavahemikuks, välja arvatud juhul, kui Euroopa Parlament või nõukogu esitab selle

suhtes vastuväite hiljemalt kolm kuud enne iga ajavahemiku lõppemist.

3. Euroopa Parlament ja nõukogu võivad artiklis 42 osutatud volituste delegeerimise

igal ajal tagasi võtta. Tagasivõtmise otsusega lõpetatakse otsuses nimetatud volituste

delegeerimine. Otsus jõustub järgmisel päeval pärast selle avaldamist Euroopa Liidu

Teatajas või otsuses nimetatud hilisemal kuupäeval. See ei mõjuta juba jõustunud

delegeeritud õigusaktide kehtivust.

4. Enne delegeeritud õigusakti vastuvõtmist konsulteerib komisjon kooskõlas 13. aprilli
