Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1281 of 4 March 2022 amending Regulation (EU) 2019/833 of the European Parliament and of the Council, and Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/124 as regards certain provisions of, and Annexes to, the conservation and enforcement measures of the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
Issued by European Commission
· Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries
Executive Summary:
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2022/1281 amends Regulations (EU) 2019/833 and (EU) 2020/124 to incorporate updated conservation and enforcement measures (CEM) from the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO) into Union law. These amendments include prohibited research vessel activities, extended vulnerable marine ecosystem (VME) closures, and revisions to reporting forms. The regulation entered into force on July 25, 2022.
Key Points / Main Content:
Research Vessel Restrictions:
* In 2022, research vessels are restricted from taking more than 15 metric tonnes of 3M cod. Catches exceeding this amount will be counted against the flag State's allocation. Further research activities must cease if the Member State's allocation is exhausted.
* Research vessels are limited to taking no more than 10 metric tonnes of 3M shrimp in 2022, and all research activities must stop once this limit is reached.
Notification of Vessel Entry:
* The master of a vessel must notify the NAFO Executive Secretary and its flag FMC at least 72 hours before entering the Regulatory Area. Notification must include catch on board, intended fishing location, estimated time of arrival, and vessel contact information.
Bottom Fishing Restrictions:
* The prohibition of bottom fishing activities in specific areas is extended until December 31, 2026, for certain areas and until December 31, 2023, for areas defined in Figure 5 and Table 7b.
Amendments to Annexes:
* Figure 3 (Seamount Closures) and Table 5 (Boundary points delineating the Seamount closures) of the CEM are replaced.
* Figure 5 (Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems Area Closures) and Table 7 (Boundary Points Delineating the Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem Area Closures) of the CEM are replaced.
* Part 5 of the Observer Report in Annex II.M to the CEM is replaced, modifying data collection for Greenland shark catches.
* A footnote is added to the Surveillance Report Form in Annex IV.A to the CEM, providing guidance on reporting vessel sightings.
* Point 46 is added, defining Table 7b of the CEM, related to VME closures.
Impact Analysis:
Flag State Contracting Party:
* Impact: Affected by the catch limits imposed on research vessels, specifically regarding 3M cod and shrimp.
* Action Required: Ensure that research vessels operating under their flag adhere to the catch limits and cease activities once limits are reached.
Fishing Vessel Masters:
* Impact: Must comply with updated notification procedures before entering the NAFO Regulatory Area and adhere to bottom fishing restrictions in specified areas.
* Action Required: Provide timely and accurate notifications to NAFO and the flag FMC and avoid bottom fishing in closed areas.
NAFO Observers:
* Impact: Required to use the revised Observer Report form (Annex II.M) for recording data on Greenland shark catches.
* Action Required: Implement the changes in data collection for Greenland shark catches, using the updated form.
Surveillance Authorities:
* Impact: Need to utilize the added footnote in the Surveillance Report Form (Annex IV.A) for reporting vessel sightings.
* Action Required: Apply the guidance in the footnote when reporting vessel sightings.
