Ši politika paremta faktu, kad jai įgyvendinti reikia daug lėšų, ypač jūroje atliekamiems patikrinimams naudojant inspekcinius laivus ir orlaivius bei investicijoms į technologijas ir informacijos technologijų (IT) tinklus.Šiuo tikslu buvo priimti keturi Tarybos sprendimai, kuriais numatyta Bendrijos parama padengiant dalį valstybių narių žuvininkystės kontrolės išlaidų: Sprendimas 89/631/EEB, taikomas 1991–1995 m., Sprendimas 95/527/EEB, taikomas 1996–2000 m., Sprendimas 2001/431/EB, taikomas 2001–2003 m. ir Sprendimas 2004/465/EB taikomas 2004–2005 m. Išanalizavus šios schemos rezultatus paaiškėjo, kad Bendrijos finansinė parama labai teigiamai paveikė jų kontrolės sistemas.Sprendimas 2004/465/EB nustos galioti 2005 12 31, o nauja žuvininkystės finansinė sistema (taikoma 2007–2013 m.) neįsigalios iki 2007 metų. Todėl Sprendimu 2004/465/EB patvirtinta šiuo metu galiojanti finansinė schema turėtų būti pratęsta vieneriems metams, kad Bendrija galėtų padengti dalį valstybių narių suplanuotų žuvininkystės kontrolės išlaidų, kol įsigalios naujoji finansinė schema, ir kad būtų skatinamos investicijos į šią sritį, taip pat atsižvelgiama į Bendrijos žuvininkystės kontrolės agentūros poreikius.Sprendimo pasiūlymas iš esmės yra Sprendimo 2004/465/EB atnaujinimas vieneriems metams. Bendrijos paramai gauti tinkami prioritetai ir veikla išlieka nepasikeitę, o laikotarpiai, per kuriuos valstybės narės turi pranešti apie pasiektą pažangą, buvo pakeisti, nes įtrauktos dvi naujos Bendrijos paramai gauti tinkamos veiklos, atsižvelgiant į poreikį toliau didinti techninę paramą Komisijos tarnyboms.Ypatingas dėmesys bus skiriamas 2004 m. į ES įstojusių valstybių narių poreikiams.Planuojama suma 2006 metams yra 35 milijonai eurų.Komisija siūlo Tarybai priimti pridedamą pasiūlymą.2005/0136 (CNS)PasiūlymasTARYBOS SPRENDIMASiš dalies keičiantis Sprendimą 2004/465/EB dėl Bendrijos finansinės paramos valstybių narių žuvininkystės kontrolės programomsEUROPOS SĄJUNGOS TARYBA,atsižvelgdama į Europos bendrijos steigimo sutartį, ypač į jos 37 straipsnį,atsižvelgdama į Komisijos pasiūlymą[1],atsižvelgdama į Europos Parlamento nuomonę[2],kadangi:(1) Bendroji žuvininkystės politika (BŽP) nustato bendrąsias gyvųjų vandens išteklių apsaugos, valdymo ir atsakingo naudojimo, perdirbimo ir prekybos taisykles.(2) 2002 m. gruodžio 20 d. Tarybos reglamente (EB) Nr. 2371/2002 dėl žuvų išteklių apsaugos ir tausojančio naudojimo pagal Bendrąją žuvininkystės politiką[3] pabrėžtas poreikis sustiprinti valstybių narių ir Komisijos bendradarbiavimą ir koordinavimą siekiant sugriežtinti kontrolę ir sutrukdyti veiklai, kuri prieštarauja BŽP taisyklėms.(3) Tarybos sprendime 2004/465/EB[4] dėl Bendrijos finansinės paramos valstybių narių žuvininkystės kontrolės programoms nustatytas laikotarpis baigsis 2005 m. gruodžio 31 d.(4) Valstybės narės, kurios įstojo į Bendriją 2004 m. gegužės 1 d. dėl vidaus biudžeto ir administracinių sunkumų gavo labai ribotą finansinę paramą pagal Sprendime 2004/465/EB numatytą dabartinę finansinę schemą.(5) Naujoji finansinė perspektyva apims 2007–2013 laikotarpį. Siekiant išvengti Bendrijos finansinės paramos pertrūkio reikia, kad valstybės narės 2006 metais ir toliau gautų Sprendime 2004/465/EB numatytą finansinę paramą.(6) Į Sprendimą 2004/465/EB reikėtų įtraukti žuvininkystės kontrolės tyrimus, taip pat naujų kontrolės technologijų įgyvendinimui skirtas priemones.PRIĖMĖ ŠĮ SPRENDIMĄ:1 straipsnisSprendimas 2004/465/EB iš dalies keičiamas taip:1) 3 straipsnio 2 dalis pakeičiama šiuo tekstu:„2.

CHARACTERISTICS AND OBJECTIVESDetails of the context of the proposal are required in the Explanatory Memorandum. This section of the Legislative Financial Statement should include the following specific complementary information:5.1. Needs to be met in the short or long termThe objective of the Common Fisheries policy is to provide for sustainable exploitation of living aquatic resources and of aquaculture in the context of sustainable development. In order to ensure the effective implementation of the CFP (control, inspection and enforcement of the rules of the CFP falls within the responsibility of Member States), the Community control and enforcement system for fisheries should be reinforced and co-operation and co-ordination between all relevant authorities should be strengthened.This goal is being achieved through a number of actions performed by Member States which have been financed by the Community since 1990, and consequently in line with the objectives established under Council Regulation n° 2371/2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the CFP[11]. The financial assistance granted to Member States by the Community has been done on the basis of national programmes on expenditure for fisheries control purposes.5.2. Value-added of Community involvement and coherence of the proposal with other financial instruments and possible synergyRegulation n°2371/2002[12] establishes the obligations of Member States on fisheries control activities. However, without constant pressure and monitoring by the Commission, Member States will not fulfil their duties in accordance with the standards required by Community law. Furthermore, improvements towards an efficient control system throughout the Community will be difficult to achieve without incentives, in particular when new technologies shall be tested and introduced where appropriate.5.3. Objectives, expected results and related indicators of the proposal in the context of the ABM frameworkObjectives: The situation as regards control means of Member States seems to be very much the same as in the beginning of 2004. Under-capacities in fishing control are especially significant for new Member States. It is thus necessary that Community financial assistance continues to be available to Member States in 2006 in the form and conditions established under Decision 2004/465[13].Results: Financing rates and conditions established under Decision 2004/465/EC remain unchanged, and are made applicable under the proposed Decision for one further year until 31.12.2006.In particular, reimbursement on aircraft and vessel expenditure will continue to be applied under the proposed Decision with priority to the new Member States.Indicators: The Commission will continue to focus on the assessment tools that can be considered the best indicators to assess the effectiveness of the policy (i.e. number of infringements detected over a period, the rate of procedures ended compared with the procedures opened, the number of inspections at sea or at ports, or the number of sightings recorded by the aerial surveillance). The information provided by IT systems able to collect data from landing points, thus controlling the level of catch uptake (in regard to available quotas and the status of stocks), are also important assessment elements.5.4. Method of Implementation (indicative)Show below the method(s)[14] chosen for the implementation of the action.( x Centralised Management(x Directly by the Commission( Indirectly by delegation to:( Executive Agencies( Bodies set up by the Communities as referred to in art. 185 of the Financial Regulation( National public-sector bodies/bodies with public-service mission( Shared or decentralised management( With Member states( With Third countries( Joint management with international organisations (please specify)Relevant comments:  6. MONITORING AND EVALUATION6.1. Monitoring systemThe proposed Decision carries over for 2006 the principles and rules established in Decision 2004/465/EC on this issue. Expenditure must have been incurred in compliance both with the general condition specified in Decision 2004/465/EC and the specific conditions provided for by the future Commission decision fixing the amount granted.On its side, the Commission may require Member States to carry out on-the-spot checks on projects or may decide to carry them out with its own officials.The Commission maintains as well all existing checks and balances in regard to fraud: in particular, in the event any amount has been unduly paid, it shall be repaid to the Commission, with interest. It is worth noting that the Commission only reimburses invoices that the national administrations have paid.Member States shall report yearly to the Commission how their programmes are implemented, any variation they had to introduce on their programmes and shall assess the impact of the expenditure on control, inspection and surveillance activities. The proposed Decision provides for a final assessment on the 2001-2006 programmes to be forwarded to the Commission in 2007.The proposed Decision foresees that the report by the Commission on the outcome of the scheme will be sent to the European Parliament and the Council in 2008. In this report indicators mentioned above will be used to gauge the impact of this scheme.6.2. Evaluation6.2.1. Ex-ante evaluationThrough the financial scheme provided for by Decisions 89/631[15], 95/527[16], 2001/431[17] and 2004/465[18], Member States have with no doubt reinforced their control structures and their inspectors’ skills. This has been largely assessed in several documents, such as Commission’s Reports on the monitoring of the implementation of the CFP Rules by the Member States. Extensive details on the effects of such actions have also been given in the Legislative Financial Statement of Council Decision 2004/465/EC, in the Report of the Commission to the Council and European Parliament on Decision 89/631[19], the Report of May 2000 on Decision 95/527[20] and the Commission Communication on the compliance with the rules of the CFP of June 2003, which set up a Compliance scoreboard and was made available to the general public through the Commission's web-site[21].If an overall conclusion is to be drawn from these documents, is that without further investments in equipment and training, the control systems of Member States will not be able to correspond to the standards required by Community law.In addition, attention must be drawn to the fact that ten new Member States joined the Community on 1st May 2004, and that during 2004 some of these Member States faced internal budgetary problems which have made them have to delay certain expenditure on fisheries control for one or two years. Hence, in order to facilitate and speed up the attainment of Community standards in the fisheries control field, financial aid will continue to be necessary in the interim period between the expiry of Decision 2004/465 (i.e. 31.12.2005) and the date when the future Fisheries Control Agency becomes fully operational.6.2.2. Measures taken following an intermediate/ex-post evaluation (lessons learned from similar experiences in the past)Though assessment is very much dependant on specific monitoring, control and surveillance strategies adopted by each Member States (which are in turn a consequence of the different features of the fleet, the size of fishing grounds, quantity and value of catches landed), it appears that there is still room for improvement on the main issues of control i.e. patrol vessels and aircraft and technology systems and their network, the fitting on board of Vessel Monitoring Systems on board vessels, and training, the enhancement of pilot projects and cost/benefit analysis of expenditure in the control activity (in the case of all Member States).Moreover, it is proposed to finance two new actions: the first will be aimed at setting up administrative arrangements with the Community Joint Research Centre (JRC), so that this body may provide technical assistance in the development of control techniques. The second will allow the Commission’s services to carry out studies on matters related to control issues.6.2.3. Terms and frequency of future evaluationThe proposed Council Decision only affects the reports foreseen in Decision 2004/465/EC (articles 16 and 17) in their timing. All other elements of reporting already foreseen remain unchanged.The final report to be drawn up by the Member States before 31.12.2007 will allow a thorough ex post evaluation of the scheme which will be presented the following year by the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council.In the matter of control, it is not easy to quantify the results, especially in the short term. The overall goal of this initiative is to enhance a control culture among the stakeholders in the fisheries sector which will allow an unreserved compliance with the CFP rules. Without effective control, conservation rules are useless; without adherence to rules, control activities will never be successful.7. ANTI-FRAUD MEASURESThe Member States shall verify and certify that expenditure for which a reimbursement is claimed has been incurred in compliance with the rules laid down by the Decision. If the Commission considers that the claim does not comply with the conditions laid down, it shall refuse to reimburse all or part of the expenditure at issue.The Members States shall provide the Commission with any information it may request and they must keep supporting documents available to the Commission for at least 5 years from the date of reimbursement.Commission officials may carry out or take part on ex-post control.In the event of irregularity, any amount unduly paid shall be repaid to the Commission, together with interest.8.
