'"•>, \, \h Ù 1. Subject of the Communication and legal base For each Member State in the Union, a multi-annual guidance programme (MGP) fixes objectives for reducing the size of the fishing fleet. The third generation of MGPs were adopted in December 19921 and fix objectives for the period 1992 -1996. These objectives were subsequently revised on the basis of more up to date information during a mid term review of the programmes2 in 1995. For reasons of transparency, when the programmes were adopted in 1992 the Commission undertook to transmit annually to the Council a report on the progress towards these objectives3. The Council made this annual communication obligatory in its decision of 1993 on the restructuring of the fisheries sector4 and this obligation was extended to report to the European Parliament5. The present report is the fifth in the series 6 7 8 9 and the final report on the results of the third generation of programmes (MGP III). 2. The objectives set by the multi-annual guidance programmes. The fleets of each Member State are classified into segments, and objectives for the tonnage and power are set for each of these segments. The objectives of the programmes should have been achieved for all the segments by 31. 12. 96. For each Member State, annual intermediate objectives were also set for the global fleet capacity, that is, the sum of the capacities of all the segments of the fleet. These were intended to ensure that the fleet reductions required were achieved progressively during the period of the programme. The reduction rates applied to the fleet segments depend on the species targeted and on the gear used. Generally, any segment targeting demersal species is subject to a 20% reduction rate, whereas segments targeting benthic or pelagic species are subject to reduction rates of 15% and 0% respectively. The global reductions required for the fleets of different Member States will therefore differ according to the structure of the fleet. In all cases, the reductions are calculated from the objectives for 1991 that were set by the previous generation of MGPs. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Commission Decisions 92/588/EEC to 92/598/EEC of 21. 12. 92 (O J L401 of 31. 12. 92 p. 3) Commission Decisions 95/238/EC - 95/248/EC (O J L166 of 15. 7. 95, pp. 1-46).

In many cases, footnotes to the tables of objectives indicated that certain revisions to these objectives would be required at a later date. The present report incorporates several such revisions, so there may be some discrepancies between the objectives presented here and those published in the Official Journal. In the case of the United Kingdom and Ireland, other possible revisions to the objectives have been described at the request of these Member States. Any difference between the published objectives and those presented in the present report are explained in the text, but it must be emphasised that they are subject to a formal proposal from the Commission for modification and the approval of the Management Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture when the starting objectives for the fourth generation of programmes (MGP IV) are discussed. 3. Measurement of capacity and fishing effort 3. 1 Tonnage When the programmes were adopted, the objectives for tonnage were expressed in gross registered tonnes (GRT). This disguised the fact that in almost all Member States a mixture of tonnage measurements were used, some vessels being measured in GRT, others in gross tonnes (GT) and others in nationally defined units of tonnage. For some vessels, tonnage measurements were available in more tharrone of these units. To calculate the total tonnage of the fleet, the units were therefore selected in order of priority, namely GRT, GT or other. In order to harmonise tonnage measurements, Council Regulation (EC) No 3259/9410, and Commission Decision No. 95/84/EC11 were adopted. These require that all fishing vessels be measured in GT. They also simplify the definition of GT for vessels less than 15 metres in length and specify formulae to estimate the GT of vessels between 15 and 24 metres length pending full remeasurement. Although it was intended to express the tonnage objectives of the MGP III in units of GT at the time of the mid term review of the programmes, many Member States were unable to comply with the deadlines to submit the GT values or estimates. The services of the Commission therefore postponed the recalculation of the objectives in terms of GT to a later date. After consultations with the Member States, it was agreed that the conversion of tonnages to units of GT would be done at the time the MGP IV was adopted, and that the results of the MGP III would be assessed purely in terms of GRT Or national measures of tonnage, depending on the units used to fix the objectives. In this report, the term GRT is used to refer to all of these units, even if the definition of GRT varies from Member State to Member State. This approach does not remove all of the difficulties of measuring the tonnage of the fleet. Not all countries have GRT values available for every vessel in their fleets, some vessels being measured only in GT. Estimates of GRT are therefore required for these vessels. A Decision of the Commission12 was adopted in April of this year specifying the estimation formulae to be used to estimate the GRT for the countries concerned. 3. 2 Power The power of the vessels refers to the main engine power, though the way in which this is measured differs between Member States. The figures presented in the report may not therefore be comparable between Member States, but nevertheless indicate the evolution of power in relation to the objectives for any one Member State. The objectives for power are not affected by the remeasurement procedures described above. 3. 3 Fishing Effort The fishing effort of a vessel is measured as the product of capacity and the number of days spent at sea during the year. There are therefore two measures of effort, one measured in GRT days and the other in kW days. 10 11 12 O J No L 339, 29. 12. 94, p. 11 O J No L67, 25. 3. 95, p33 Commission Decision 97/259/EC of 1. 4. 97 (OJ L104 of 22 April 1997 p 28) 4. The fishing vessel register of the Community. The multi-annual guidance programmes are monitored using the declarations to the fishing vessel register of the Community13. These declarations were originally sent on a monthly basis, but are now sent weekly. The register is meant to be a record of the physical characteristics of all the commercial marine fishing vessels in the European fleets. In practise, the data for some countries are incomplete. This is discussed more fully in the annex describing the results in each of the Member States. Following the adoption of the MGP III, the data contained in the register was extended to include, amongst others, the segment of the fleet to which the vessel belongs and the fishing effort in power x days and in tonnage x days. In addition, the register is used to record the real or estimated gross tonnages of the fishing vessels following the recently adopted Council Regulation (EC) No 3259/94 and Commission Decision No 95/84/EC. In their declarations, the Member States must notify the Commission of any changes to the fleet, such as new constructions, withdrawals, modifications or changes in activity. Erroneous data can also be corrected using these declarations. All such changes are recorded, but the existing information is not discarded. This makes it possible to reconstruct the situation of the fleet at any given date. The register is continually being updated and the reliability of the information improved. An amendment to the regulation was recently adopted14 which both extends and simplifies the information to be communicated, and also puts in place the procedures for direct access to the database by the Member States. This will greatly speed up the exchange of information and allow the register to be used to monitor the access of vessels to the various fisheries. 5. Results 5. 1 Results for each of the Member States The detailed results by Member State are described in this section. In each case a table shows the evolution of capacity by segment for each of the years 1991 -1996, together with the objectives to be met by the end of 1996. In these tables the situation at the end of 1996 is also expressed as a percentage of the objectives, so a percentage greater than 100 indicates that the objectives have not been met. Histograms show the evolution of the capacity of the whole fleet compared with the global annual intermediate objectives and the global objective for 1996 The data for the tables and histograms are taken from the fishing vessel register of the Community, or "fleet register". The fleet register is intended to be the definitive source of information on the capacity of the fishing fleets. Where these data are considered unreliable or incomplete, or where they show any discrepancies with the reports on the results of the MGP III submitted by the Member States themselves, this is clearly stated in the text. The MGPs were formulated in a way that allowed the objectives to be reached by a combination of capacity and activity reductions. However no Member State submitted a proposal to limit fishing activity. The objectives must therefore have been met purely in terms of capacity. Even though the objectives of the programme must be met purely in terms of capacity, there must be no compensatory increase in the activity of the vessels remaining in the fleet. For this reason, the Member States are required to submit aggregated fishing effort data by segment to the fleet register. For each of the countries that have submitted effort data, a table shows the evolution of effort by segment. Total fishing effort each year is also shown on the same diagram as the capacity data, scaled such that the points for effort and capacity coincide for 1991. Any decrease or increase in effort relative to the intermediate objectives can therefore be clearly seen. 13 14 Articles 4 and 5 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 109/94 (O J L19 of 22. 1. 94).

GT measures or estimates are available for 99% of the fleet, but no effort data have been provided by Belgium. The evolution of the fleet based on the data in the fleet register is shown in Figure 1 and Table 1. b) Comparison of the data in the fleet register and in the report submitted by Belgium. The situation by segment at 31. 12. 96 based on the report from Belgium on the results of the MGP III is shown in the table below: Segment Netters & Beam trawlers Demersal trawlers TOTAL MGP category Situation 31. 12. 96 C17, C10, E10 E13, G14 GRT 18490 1688 20178 kW 59343 4197 63540 The results are almost identical to those based on the data in the fleet register. The minor discrepancies that exist are within the limits expected from a combination of rounding errors in the GRT estimations and the time delays involved in communicating changes to the fleet to the fleet register. c) Results When the MGP III was first adopted, the 1996 objectives fixed for the Belgian fleet were calculated by the same formula as for other Member States, namely a reduction from the objectives set by MGP II. However in 1993 Belgium successfully argued that its fleet was already at the minimum viable capacity. The Belgian objectives for 1996 were therefore set independently of the 1991. objectives, and called for global reductions of just 3% in tonnage and power over the period of the programme. From Figure 1 and Table 1 it can be seen that Belgium has achieved the global objectives for both tonnage and power, but the objectives were not met for the demersal trawler segment, with the tonnage 44% above the 1996 objective and the power 8% above the 1996 objective. However, it should be recognised that the objectives for this segment were particularly severe, requiring decreases of about 70% in tonnage and power over the period of the programme, and that the absolute capacity involved is small.

The annual intermediate objectives for 1993 -1996 have therefore been calculated starting from the situation at the end of 1992.

It is possible that some of these vessels belong to segment B08, which are in many cases without an engine. This will be clarified with the Danish authorities. Figure 2 and Table 2a show the evolution of the fleet based on the data in the fleet register. Denmark has supplied effort data for all years of the programme (Table 2b). b) Comparison of the data in the fleet register and in the report submitted by Denmark. According to the report from Denmark on the results of the MGP, the situation at the end of 1996 is as follows: Segment Netters Trawlers and seiners Trawlers Greenland Purse seiners Vessels <5GRT TOTAL MGP category B13 B12 B10 B17+B19 B08 Situation 31. 12. 96 GRT 11922 58288 498 6225 4354 81287 kW 77006 270275 1308 15821 47424 411834 This in line with but not identical to the data in the fleet register. The power figures in the Danish report are somewhat higher than those indicated in the fleet register. A more substantial difference is the presence of the trawler belonging to segment B10. This is not present in the fleet register, or has been mis-allocated to another segment. c) Results Figure 2 and Table 2a show that Denmark is well within its objectives for all segments of the fleet. No vessel has been declared as belonging to the segment B10 (Greenland Trawlers), though one vessel is indicated in the Danish. report. Assuming the capacity of the vessel in the report is accurate, the objectives for segment B10 have still been achieved. The objectives shown in the present report differ from those published in the MGP Decision for Denmark. There are two reasons for this. The first is that Denmark had requested an adjustment to the 1996 tonnage objectives to take into account that the situation of the fleet was measured as a mixture of GRT and GT. Based on a sample of the fleet, Denmark calculated that the situation at 1. 1. 92 measured purely in GRT was about 93% of the situation measured in the mixture of units, and the 1996 objectives were increased by a corresponding amount. A similar situation existed for many Member States, but Denmark was the only country that specifically requested such a correction to the 1996 objectives. However this means that the published 1996 tonnage objectives for Denmark represent a mixture of GT and GRT units, and now that the results of the MGP III are to be assessed purely in units of GRT the adjustment is no longer appropriate. ,The tonnage objectives for. 1996 used in this report have therefore been recalculated so that they are purely in units of GRT. The second change to the published objectives concerns the segment B08 (vessels <5GRT). These vessels were in the process of being registered when the MGP III for Denmark was adopted, and a footnote to the programme envisages the revision of the 1996 objectives for this segment to the actual capacity in December 1994. This revision has been included in the results presented in this report. The capacity of the segment in December 1994 has been taken from the fleet register (4459 GT and 44784 kW) rather than from the Danish report (4577 GT and 48047 kW). This segment is the only one in the Danish fleet where the tonnage objectives are expressed purely in terms of GT. However the declaration of GT values for all of the vessels concerned still needs to be completed, so these objectives could be subject to further adjustment at the time of the adoption of the MGP IV No vessels have been declared as belonging to the segment B09 (pelagic fishing). This segment was created with the intention of identifying vessels in segment B12 that were engaged in pelagic fishing. The estimated capacity of the vessels concerned was subtracted from the objectives of segment B12 to create the objectives of B09, without any adjustment of the reduction rate applied to reflect the change from a demersal segment to a pelagic segment. The vessels have yet to be identified and removed from segment B12, the objectives of which have nevertheless been comfortably achieved. Effort data have been provided for all years of the programme. These show that the evolution of fishing effort has closely paralleled that of capacity (Table 2b), indicating that activity has remained fairly constant throughout the period.

GT measures or estimates are available for all vessels. The evolution of the-fleet as indicated by the fleet register data is shown in Figure 3 and Table 3a. Fishing effort data have been declared for the years 1991 -1996 (Table 3b). b) Comparison of the data in the fleet register and in the report submitted by Germany. The situation of the fleet at 31. 12. 96, shown below, as indicated by the report from Germany on the results of the MGP III is almost identical to that indicated by the fleet register.

The fishing effort data show close parallels with the evolution of capacity, indicating that activity has remained relatively constant.

However GT values are available for only 19% of the fleet. There are also 154 vessels that have not been allocated to segment and 462 vessels for which no tonnage has been communicated. The evolution of the fleet based on the data in the fleet register is shown in Figure 4 and Table 4a. Greece has transmitted fishing effort data for the years 1991 -1994 (Table 4b). Effort data were also supplied for the last quarter only of 1995. b) Comparison of the data in the fleet register and in the report submitted by Greece. The situation of the fleet at 31. 12. 96 given in the Greek report on the results of the MGP III is as follows: Segment Fixed Gear and seiners Bottom trawlers Trawlers TOTAL MGP category E20+Z14 E14 G18 Situation 31. 12. 96 GRT 71273 24411 15424 110563 kW 506364 112017 36315 654696 The results are very close to those based on the data in the fleet register. The minor discrepancies that exist are within the limits expected considering the time delays involved in communicating changes or corrections to the fleet register. c) Results Figures 4 and Table 4a show that Greece is within its global objectives for 1996, and within the objectives for all segments except for E14 (bottom trawlers). The decrease in global fishing effort corresponds very closely to the decrease in capacity, suggesting similar levels of activity during the period of the programme.

GT estimations are available for all but 71 vessels, of which 4 are over 24 metres in length. Figure 5 and Table 5a show the evolution of the fleet base on the data in the fleet register. Fishing effort data have been communicated for all years of the programme and are shown in Table 5b. b) Comparison of the data in the fleet register and in the report submitted by Spain. The situation of the fleet at 31. 12. 96 given in the Spanish report on the results of the MGP III is as follows: Segment MGP category Situation 31. 12. 96 Trawlers & Polyvalent Dredgers Pelagic seiners, Netters etc & Canaries Trawlers & Polyvalent Pelagic seiners, Netters etc Tuna fleet TOTAL D10 D11 G12 G26 G28 GRT 113912 123355 144948 28211 53808 464234 kW 409059 565812 345091 85666 113910 1519538 The results are very close to those based on the data in the fleet register. The discrepancies that exist are within the limits expected considering the time delays involved in communicating changes or corrections to the fleet to the fleet register. c) Results The objectives shown in Table 5a differ to those in the published'MGP Decision. This is because the vessels covered by Article 158 of the Treaty of Accession were not subject to a capacity reduction for the first 4 years of the MGP III. A footnote to the table of objectives states that these vessels would be fully integrated into the programme on January 1 1996. This means that the capacity concerned was subject to the reduction rates of the programme during the final year. This changes the objectives only for segment D10, since it is the only segment in which vessels covered by Article 158 are found that is subject to a reduction rate. Applying a 4% reduction to the capacity concerned for the final year of the programme (4% over one year being the same rate as 20% over 5 years) changes the objectives for segment D10 from the published 136748 GRT and 442193 kW to those shown in Table 5a. Spain is well within its objectives for 1996 for all segments of the fleet. The close parallels between the evolution of fishing effort and the evolution of capacity indicates that activity has remained constant. 3i Figure 5 SPAIN MQP 111 ; Comparison between situations and objectives Tonnage (GRT) End of year Objectives Situation Fleet Register Effort 1991 673303 643231 1992 659837 613603 1993 648784 570819 1994 637730 546509 203500 181803 176693 168324 1995 626677 507190 156237 1996 615624 470263 145077 700000 600000 5OOOO0 4- 400000 4- 300000 200000 4- 100000 4- 200000 4- 150000 100000' 4-50000 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 End of year Engine power (kW) Objectives Situation Fleet Register Effort End of year Objectives Situation Fleet Register Effort 1991 1955372 1915279 598312 1992 1916265 1849614 552456 1993 1886580 1756502 538598 1994 1856896 1711660 524515 1995 1827211 1628271 496999 1996 1797527 1536436 467781 4-600000 500000 4-400000 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 End of year Objectives.

GT measures or values are available for just 85 vessels, representing less than 2% of the total fleet. Of the vessels > 24 metres in length, about 50% have been declared in GT. France has not submitted fishing effort data. The evolution of the fleet based on the data in the fleet register is shown in Figure 6 and Table 6. b) Comparison of the data in the fleet register and in the report submitted by France. France has not supplied information on the situation of the fleet at 31. 12. 96. Since for some segments there have been large changes in capacity during the first months of 1997, France has indicated the situation at 12. 05. 97.

France is also outside its objectives in segments A10, A11 and M11. Concerning the segment M11 (Mediterranean trawlers), France has indicated in its report that it will request a modification of the objectives under the MAGP III. This is based on a reorientation of the vessels from demersal species to pelagic species, which now represent 30% and 70% of the catches respectively. France argues that this means that the 20% reduction applied to the whole segment should now be applied only to 30% of the capacity of the segment. France has also indicated that it would like the effort controls that are in effect for this segment be taken into account under the MGP III. These modifications have not been included in the present report but could be presented to the Management Committee at the time of the adoption of MGP IV. However, it should be noted that under the MGP III there was no provision to weight the reductions by segment according to the catch composition. France's request would therefore be valid only if different vessels exploited the pelagic and demersal fisheries in the Mediterranean.

However, much work remains to be done to complete the historical data in the fleet register For years prior to 1996 the segmentation data are not considered reliable. This is because the allocation of capacity to segments was originally done on the basis of vessel activity, the capacity of a single vessel being partitioned between more than one segment in some cases. The Commission requested a change in the allocation of vessels to segments such that one vessel belongs to just one segment at any one time. The work to do the reallocation retrospectively is part of a continuing programme to improve the data in the register. The change in the way vessels are allocated to segments has also led Ireland to request a reallocation the 1996 objectives between certain segments. This is explained later. GT measures or estimates have been supplied for about 89% of the total fleet. Ireland" has supplied effort data for each year of the programme. There are currently 26 vessels that have not been allocated to a segment. The evolution of capacity and effort according to the data in the fleet register is shown in Figure 7 and Table 7. b) Comparison of the data in the fleet register and the report submitted by Ireland. The situation of the fleet at 31. 12. 96 as indicated in the report from Ireland is as follows: Segment Beam trawlers Pelagic trawlers Polyvalent TOTAL c) Results MGP category E11 E15 E18, E19 Situation 31. 12. 96 GRT 1114 13807 29783 44704 kW 5129 38893 132785 176807 In the MGP Decision for Ireland, a footnote to the table of objectives states that the situation of the fleet at 1. 1. 92 and/or the objectives of the programme for 1991 may be revised to take into account an additional capacity in the polyvalent segment of vessels that were previously unregistered. These are mainly small vessels, and the total capacity amounts to approximately 3000 tonnes and about 10800 kW. Given that the objectives of the Irish MGP for 31. 12. 96 were subsequently set independently of the objectives for 1991; the services of the Commission consider that there is a case for adding the capacity of the vessels concerned to both the situation and the objectives of the polyvalent segment for 31. 12. 96. The objectives of the programme cannot yet be modified to take into account this additional capacity, because the process of registering these vessels is continuing. A total of 55 vessels, amounting to 631 GRT and 3093 kW have so far been registered and declared to the fleet register. For the purposes of the present report, this capacity has been removed from the situation at 31. 12. 96 in order to compare the situation of the fleet with the published objectives of the programme. Registration of these vessels will be completed before the adoption of the MGP IV, when the additional capacity will be added to the objectives for 1996. The results based on the fleet register (Figure 7 and Table 7) indicate that Ireland is within the global objectives of its MGP III but outside its targets for the polyvalent segment. as It should be noted that Ireland has requested a modification of the objectives of the programme which, if accepted, would change the results of the MGP III. The need for this modification is a result of the reallocation of vessels to segments, as mentioned in section (a) above. Prior to the mid term review of the programmes, Ireland allocated capacity to segments in such a way that the capacity of an individual vessel was partitioned between more than one segment. At the mid term review this procedure was changed at the Commission's request, and a certain capacity was consequently moved from the pelagic segment to a newly formed polyvalent segment. This capacity represented the dry-hold vessels fishing both demersal and pelagic species, leaving just refrigerated seawater vessels in the pelagic segment. However, no corresponding adjustment was made to the objectives of the pelagic and polyvalent segments. Ireland has now requested that such an adjustment be made before the adoption of the MGP IV. The Commission services would in principle support this transfer of objectives provided that it can verify the figures concerned. This requires a list of the vessels involved, together with the history of the allocation of their capacities to segments throughout the programme.

The allocation of vessels to segments in the register is unreliable and bears little relation to the objectives of the programme. For this reason only the evolution of the global situation is presented (Figure 8). Note that in the absence of new declarations the situation on 1996 is identical to that in 1995. GT measures or estimates have been supplied for 92% of the total fleet, and for 38% of vessels greater than 24 metres in length. Italy has supplied effort data for the years 1991 -1994 (Table 8) b) Comparison of the data in the fleet register and in the report submitted by Italy. Italy has indicated that the capacity of its fleet in at 31. 12. 96 was as follows: Segment MGP category Situation 31. 12. 96 Pelagic pair trawlers Bottom trawlers'(& Volante) Manual dredgers Suction dredgers Netters Longliners & liners Polyvalent (trawlers) Polyvalent (non trawlers) Seiners (tuna) Bottom trawlers Polyvalent (non trawlers) Bottom trawlers Tuna fleet Others TOTAL C13 C14 C15 C16 C18 C20 C21 C22 C23 M10 M12 G15 G29 - GRT 1079 78657 72 2069 6 596 75284 55286 4216 6233 825 10154 0 11209 245494 kW 6825 390180 382 22680 21 6406 499868 460088 22570 18472 3830 22093 0 69343 1522756 The data supplied by Italy includes vessels classified by gears but not by segment. These are shown as "others" in the above table. c) Results The fleet register data suggest that Italy is outside its global MGP III objectives in both tonnage and power, with an excess of 2% and 3% respectively. However, this is based on information received in 1995. The data supplied by Italy suggest that the objectives for 1996 have been achieved in terms of tonnage but not in terms of power. The Commission services cannot verify these data, nor evaluate the results of the programme by segment. Italy has indicated that a revision of its power objectives may be requested to take into account the derating of engines when the baseline levels of power were established. The Commission will examine the case presented by Italy when the appropriate data are made available. The global effort data suggest that activity has remained constant throughout the period of the programme.

However, GT measures or estimates are available for only 57% of the vessels in the fleet. For vessels greater than 24 metres in length, 78% of the GT values have been declared. The Netherlands has not submitted effort data over the period of the programme. This is because the Dutch definition of time at sea differs from that required under the programmes. The evolution of the fleet based on the data in the fleet register is shown in Figure 9 and Table 9. b) Comparison of the data in the fleet register and in the report submitted by the Netherlands. The Netherlands did not submit a report giving the situation of the fleet at 31. 12. 96. However data were supplied on the total number of days allocated over the period 1992 -1996, as shown below. Year Sea-days 1992 114486 1993 104783 1994 109100 1995 104309 1996 106982 These data are not directly comparable with the definition of days at sea used in the MGP, but nevertheless indicate that mean activity has decreased over the period of the programme. c) Results The tonnage objectives shown in Table 9 for the pelagic segment (E16) differ from those published in the MGP Decision. In the Decision, a footnote to the Dutch table of objectives points out that the tonnage objectives for 1991 for this segment were generated by calculating the ratio (objective in kW for 31. 12. 91) / (situation in kW at 1. 1. 92 ) and applying the same ratio to the situation in tonnes at 1. 1. 92. This procedure was adopted because of historical inconsistencies in the tonnage figures for this segment, especially when compared to the evolution of the power. When the calculation was done to generate the tonnage objectives for 1991, the situation at 1. 1. 92 was measured in a mixture of GT and GRT. Now that it has been agreed that the MGP III will be assessed purely in units of GRT, the objectives for 1996 must be recalculated using the situation at 1. 1. 92 measured purely in units of GRT. The result is a substantial reduction in the objectives, from the published 36,465 tonnes to 21,100 GRT. However, it should be noted that this is due to the very high proportion of vessels in this segment that had been measured in GT and does not represent a more severe objective; the numerical value of the situation of the segment also shows a corresponding decrease. From Table 9 it can be seen that the Netherlands has failed to reach its MGP targets in all segments. This is particularly marked for the tonnage of segments E16 and E17. However, it has long been recognised that the calculation of the tonnage objectives for the Dutch fleet are less than satisfactory. The calculations described in the preceding paragraph were necessary in order to establish objectives for the pelagic segment because the historical discrepancies in the data were particularly marked, but a similar problem may exist for the cutter fleet. The Dutch authorities are investigating the source of the inconstancies in the evolution of the tonnage of their fleet and have submitted further information to the Commission. Preliminary analyses indicate that the objective of segment E16 should be 26807 GRT and that of segment E17 should be 67690 GRT. Apart from a possible modification of the tonnage objectives through a revision of the baseline, the Dutch authorities have requested that the effort reduction resulting from a reduction in beam length be taken into account towards the objectives of its cutter fleet (segment E17). This request is based on the results of scientific studies that suggest that a reduction in the length of the beam from 14 metres to 12 metres reduces the efficiency, and hence fishing effort, by about 10%. The Netherlands will supply further information in support of both requests for the modification of the MGP III objectives for examination by the Management Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture at the time of the adoption of the MGP IV.

During 1996 and the early rJart of 1997, a series of technical meetings between the services of the Commission and the UK administration succeeded in solving the technical difficulties that were causing the problems. The fleet register is now broadly in line with the national data, though not all vessels from the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man are included. Power has been declared for all but 2 vessels, one belonging to segment F18 (average power 220kW), one to F19 (average power 47kW), and one to an unknown segment (vessel length 5. 03 metres). There are a total of 474 vessels that have not been allocated to segment. GT values have been declared for over 90% of the fleet, though for vessels more than 24 metres in length GT values have been declared for only 50%. The evolution of capacity and effort based on the fleet register data is shown in Figure 11 and Table 11a. The United Kingdom has supplied effort data for all years of the MGP III. (Table 11b). b) Comparison of the data in the fleet register and in the report submitted by the United Kingdom. A direct comparison is not possible between the situation at 31. 12. 96 by MGP III segment based on the fleet register and that based on the report from the UK, since the latter anticipates the disappearance of segment F18 and a reallocation of the capacity to other segments. This is explained in more detail later. The situation at 31. 12. 96 as indicated in the UK report is as follows: Segment Beam trawl Demersal Trawl & Seiners Pelagic trawl Shellfish fixed Shellfish mobile Netters, Liners + other static gears Nephrops trawl Distant water Others >10 m Mixed (non trawlers) <10 m TOTAL MGP category F10 F11 +F20 F12 F13 F14 F15 F16 F17 F18 F19 Situation 31. 12. 96 GRT 22104 64524 27801 5387 8504 13613 11036 12423 0 20851 186252 kW 117616 332337 71876 44463 55648 51977 67790 26853 0 286367 1054927 The capacity of the fleet at 31. 12. 96 based on the UK report is approximately 2,000 GRT and 20,000 kW greater than that indicated by the fleet register, which may be partly explained by the incomplete data for the Channel Islands and Isle of Man vessels in the fleet register. c) Results Figure 11 and Table 11b show that the United Kingdom failed to reach the global objectives of the programme in both tonnage and power, and failed to reach the objectives in tonnage, power or both, for 6 of the 10 segments of the fleet. Moreover, the evolution of fishing effort diverges somewhat from the evolution of capacity. This may indicate that mean activity has have increased over the period of the programme. The United Kingdom has however indicated that the fishing effort data are not based on samples but on a complete census of the fleet, and that prior to 1993 these data were incomplete. Since 1993 the trend in fishing effort more closely parallels that of capacity. Further analysis will be undertaken to ascertain whether there has been a real increase in activity since 1991, or whether this is an artefact of improved data collection. It should be noted that the United Kingdom has argued that several amendments to its MGP III objectives are appropriate. These are: i) Reallocation of the vessels in segment F18 When the programme was adopted, segment F18 contained vessels for which there was very little information on the fishing activities, or vessels that had belonged to other segments but which had ceased fishing activities. As more information became available during the period of the programme, many of the vessels were reallocated to more appropriate segments. This is the reason that the objectives for this segment appear to have been achieved by a large margin. The UK now wants to redistribute both the situation and the objectives for this segment amongst the other segments based on their activity or most likely activity. The services of the Commission support this. The effect of the reallocation is that the UK is marginally further away from the achievement of its 1996 objectives, as indicated in the table below (based on the data in the fleet register).

Following a preliminary estimate in 1991 the objectives of MGP II were revised to take into account the apparent increase in the size of the fleet as a result of this change. A much more complete census has now been completed, and suggests that the difference between the "active" and "registered" fleet was about 6,000 GRT more than previously supposed. The services of the Commission have confirmed that this is likely to be the case. The 6,000 GRT are already recorded in the fleet register and are therefore included in the figures for the situation of the UK fleet. The UK have requested that the objectives for 1991, and consequently the objectives for 1996, be revised to take this into account. The methodology proposed by the UK involves an estimation of the difference between the "active" and the "registered" fleet in 1986. No information is available prior to this date. The report submitted by the United Kingdom on the results of the MGP III anticipates these changes to the objectives and the segmentation. The data and calculations presented in the UK report differ a little from those based on the fleet register. The UK calculate the revised global objectives to be 181216 GRT and 1059212 kW, and the situation of the fleet is stated to be 186251 GRT and 1054927 kW, which are respectively 103% and just under 100% of the global objectives. The discrepancies in the situation at 31. 12. 96 may be due to some remaining differences between the national and fleet registers and will be resolved before any revision of the objectives is proposed to the Management Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture.

Since the objectives for 31. 12. 96 are based on the situation at 1. 1. 95, the situation of the fleet on bôfh dates is shown: Segment Trawlers (Baltic Herring) Driftnetters / Longliners Other Vessels Trawlers (Baltic Herring) Aaland Islands Driftnetters / Longliners Aaland Islands Other Vessels Aaland Islands TOTAL MGP category F21 F22+F24 F23 F25 F26 F27 Situation 1. 1. 95 Situation 31. 12. 96 GT 9280 3527 9259 1196 546 739 kW 47757 29059 130302 4899 GT 8631 3336 9054 1082 kW 44402 27718 127498 4648 4710 512 • - 4810 8374 731 8286 24547 224831 23346 217362 These are almost identical to those based on the data in the fleet register. The minor discrepancies that exist are within the limits expected due to the time delays involved in communicating changes to the fleet to the fleet register. c) Results The 1996 objectives of the Finnish programme were for a stabilisation of the capacities of all segments to their capacities as at 1. 1. 95. At the time the programme was adopted, Finland was still in the process of registering its fishing vessels, so a footnote envisaged the revision of the 1996 objectives when the size of the fleet at 1. 1. 95 became more accurately known. Now that this process of registration has been completed, the present report has incorporated these changes to the objectives of the programme. 15 It should be noted that in the case of Finland the tonnage objectives are considered to be in units of GT. However the GT has not been measured for all of the fleet. For the purposes of the present report a mixture of GT and GRT has therefore been used, in which the GT of a vessel is taken if krrown, otherwise its GRT is used without adjustment. It is important that all the vessels are measured in GT before the adoption of the MGP IV. 15 Commission Decision 96/73/EC of 22. 12. 95 (O J L14 of 19. 1. 96 p. 27) LQ Figure 12 and Table 12 indicate that Finland has reached its targets in all segments of the fleet, except for segment F26 where there is an excess of 2% in power. This represents just 100 kW. The Finnish authorities have indicated that this is caused by the mis-allocation of one trawler to this segment, which will be corrected in the next declaration to the fleet register. In any case, the separation of the Aaland islands vessels from the remainder of the fleet was not a requirement of the MGP III, so that Finland can be considered to have achieved its objectives for the two "driftnetters/longliners" segments combined. The data submitted by Finland in its report, though indicating slightly different situations and objectives, do not significantly change the results of the MGP III.

Tonnage figures have been declared for all vessels and power figures have been supplied for all but five vessels. The latter belong to the segment F32 ("Others") which have an average power of approximately 60 kW. GT figures are available for about 93% of the total fleet. Sweden has not submitted effort data to the fleet register. The evolution of capacity based on the data in the fleet register is shown in Table 13 and Figure 13. b) Comparison of the data in the fleet register and in the report submitted by Sweden. The situation at 1. 1. 95 and at 31. 12. 96 presented b'y Sweden in its report are shown below: Segment MGP category Situation 1. 1. 95 Situation 31. 12. 96 Trawlers-shellfish Trawlers / Seiners > 30 metres Polyvalent Netters/Longliners in Baltic Others TOTAL F28 F29 F30 F31 F32 GT 6593 14223 13916 6581 11642 52955 kW 30570 42176 58816 38567 100415 270550 GT 6395 14125 12715 6631 10922 50789 kW 28227 40689 53455 37470 96475 256316 The figures agree very closely with the fleet register. The situation at 1. 1. 95, which is the baseline from which the 1996 objectives have been calculated, shows just one discrepancy concerning the tonnage of segment F31 at 1. 1. 95, given as 5298 GT in the fleet register and 6581 GT in the Swedish report. This is likely to be due to the mixture of tonnage units used to measure the capacity, though this needs to be confirmed before the adoption of the MGP IV since the figure will be the 1996 objective for the segment. The fleet register and the Swedish report are in close agreement concerning the power of the fleet at 31. 12. 96, but the report gives somewhat higher tonnage figures for all but one segment. c) Results The 1996 objectives of the Swedish programme are based on the situation at 1. 1. 95. As mentioned in the case of Finland, a revision to the situation at 1. 1. 95 therefore justifies a revision to the objectives for 31. 12. 96. Such a revision has been incorporated into the present report. 16 As was the case with Finland, the tonnage objectives for Sweden are considered to be in units of GT even though this is not available for all vessels in the fleet. The present report therefore uses a mixture of GT and GRT. It is important that all the vessels are measured in GT before the adoption of the MGP IV. The interpretation of the results is made somewhat complicated by the discrepancies in the tonnage figures between the fleet register and those given in the Swedish report, especially since the situation at 1. 1. 95 is used to define the objectives for 31. 12. 96. According to Table 13 Sweden failed to meet its power objective for just one segment (F30, by just 130 kW), and failed to meet its tonnage objective in two segments, namely F30 and F31 (by 81 tonnes and 22 tonnes respectively). However, according to the data supplied by Sweden the objectives have been met in all segments. 16 Commission Decision 96/74/EC of 22. 12. 95 (O J L14 of 19. 1. 96 p. 32) Figure 13 SWEDEN MGP III : Comparison between «itifatfrns and objectives Tonnage (GT) End of year 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 Objectives Situation Fleet Register 51671 51671 51114 51126 50558 48841 60000 50000 + 40000 {J 30000 j 20000 4- 10000 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 End of year O Objectives •Situation Fleet Register Engine power (kW) End of year 1991 1992 1993 Objectives Situation Fleet Register - 1994 271409 270544 1995 268624 266205 1996 265839 256542 300000 250000 + 200000 5 150000 100000 50000 4- 199t 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 End of year O Objectives • Situation Fleet Register Table 13 SWEDEN Evolution of capacity by segment Segment MGP category End of year 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 Objectives S i t / O b j.

The multi-annual guidance programmes have been effective in reducing the overcapacity of the European fleets. During the period 1991 - 1996 the fleet was reduced by approximately 300 000 GRT and by approximately 790 000 kW, or by about 15% and 9. 5% respectively. The capacity of the fleet at 31. 12. 96 was 11 % below the global objectives for tonnage and 5% below the global objectives for power. These global results are very satisfactory, but they have been achieved by some Member States reaching or exceeding the reductions required to meet their objectives, while others have failed to reach their objectives. The following table and graphs summarise the performance of each of the Member States according to the data in the fleet register. These figures should not be interpreted without reference to the explanations given in the text for each Member State: Member State % global situation / global objectives Portugal Spain Denmark Germany Finland Sweden Belgium Ireland Greece France United Kingdom Netherlands Italy * GRT 64% 76% 77% 79% 96% 97% 96% 94% 96% 99% 104% 148% (98%) based on data supplied by Italy kW 76% 85% 8 1% 87% 98% 97% 94% 99% 100% 104% 102% 109% (104%) Number of segments in which the objectives were achieved total number of segments / GRT 9/9 5/5 5/5 8/9 6/6 3/5 1/2 2/3 L2/3 4/6 4/10 0/3 Not available kW 9/9 5/5 5/5 9/9 5/6 5/5 1/2 2/3 2/3 2/6 6/10 0/3 Not available GRT: % Global situation I global objectives 148 QA 9. 6. 96.

The Commission is in the process of examining for each of the Member States concerned that this requirement is met. • The backlog from the MGP III must be made up under the conditions that applied to the MGP III. This means that at least 55% of the backlog must be made up by a reduction in capacity. There are also marked marked differences between the Member States in the extent to which the information in the fleet register has been kept up to date and reliable. This is particularly the case with respect to the estimation or remeasurement of vessels in units of GT, which should have been completed in 1995. These data will be of vital importance for the successful transition from the GRT objectives of MGP III to the GT objectives of MGP IV. In accordance with its declaration at the meeting of the Council of Ministers on April 1997, the Commission reserves the right to commence with the appropriate procedures concerning the Member States that have not respected the multi-annual guidance programmes within the time period envisaged, or have not established the means to monitor the programmes or the means to inform the Commission of the exact situation of their fleets with respect to the objectives of the programmes.

text: C 134/10 FI Euroopan yhteiso¤jen virallinen lehti 30. 4. 98 › Koska myo¤nnetysta¤ summasta 30 % maksetaan vasta ohjelman varainhoitovuoden pa¤a¤ttymisen ja¤lkeen (30. 6. 1998), korkeakoulujen on pakko ja¤rjesta¤a¤ rahoituksensa uudelleen kolmanteen varainhoitovuoteen saakka. Koska lopullinen kertomus valmistuu vasta 15. 11. 1998, loppusummaa ei tulla todenna¤ko¤isesti maksamaan ennen vuoden 1999 alkua. Ja¤ljelle ja¤a¤va¤n summan uudelleen maksamisen sisa¤iset hallinnolliset kustannukset ovat kuitenkin kohtuuttoman suuria kokonaissummaan verrattuna. Kyse on siis jo ennesta¤a¤n ylikuormittuneiden hallinnollisten yksikko¤jen (muissa maissa sijaitsevat toimistot, SOKRATES-koordinaat- torit jne. ) tarpeettomasta ja ylima¤a¤ra¤isesta¤ rasittamisesta varsinkin, kun Brysselissa¤ sijaitseva Youth Technical Assistance Office tuskin voi tulevaisuudessa › suunnitellun supistuksen ansiosta › arvioida lopullisia kertomuksia kohtuullisessa ajassa ja huolehtia ja¤ljelle ja¤a¤neiden summien maksamisesta. Sen vuoksi kysyn neuvostolta: 1. Miksi SOKRATES-ohjelma eroaa sita¤ edelta¤vista¤ ohjelmista varojen myo¤nta¤misperusteiden ja tukierien jaottelun osalta? 2. Tieta¤a¤ko¤ neuvosto, etta¤ ta¤ma¤ aiheuttaa korkeakouluille ja vastuussa oleville hallinnollisille yksiko¤ille suuria haittoja? Jos neuvosto tieta¤a¤ niista¤, miten se aikoo va¤henta¤a¤ ta¤ta¤ ylima¤a¤ra¤ista¤ byrokratiaa? Vastaus (22. joulukuuta 1997) SOKRATES-ohjelman hallinnointi kuuluu komission vastuualueeseen. Ohjelman pohjana olevan pa¤a¤to¤ksen N:o 819/95/EY 4 ja 5 artiklassa ma¤a¤ra¤ta¤a¤n, etta¤ kyseisen ohjelman toteuttamisesta huolehtii komissio. Komissiota avustaa komitea, joka muodostuu kahdesta kunkin ja¤senvaltion nimea¤ma¤sta¤ ja¤senesta¤ ja jonka puheenjohtajana on komission edustaja. Ta¤ma¤ sama kysymys on esitetty myo¤s komissiolle, joka toimittaa pyydetyt tiedot. (98/C 134/14) KIRJALLINEN KYSYMYS P-2497/97 komissiolle esitta¤ja¤(t): John Iversen (PSE) (11. heina¤kuuta 1997) Aihe: Stabex-ja¤rjestelma¤ Voiko komissio tehda¤ aloitteita, jotta Stabex-varoja saavat maat monipuolistaisivat viljelemia¤a¤n lajikkeita ja luopuisivat na¤in yksipuolisesta viljelysta¤? Komission ja¤senen Joa(cid:152)o de Deus Pinheiron komission puolesta antama vastaus (4. syyskuuta 1997) Stabex-ja¤rjestelma¤n tavoitteena on tukea Afrikan, Karibian ja Tyynenmeren valtioiden (AKT-valtiot) kehitys- pyrkimyksia¤ varmistamalla vientitulojen vakauttaminen sellaisten tuotteiden osalta, joista tietyt na¤ista¤ maista ovat pa¤a¤osin tai yksinomaan riippuvaisia. Monipuolistamisen takaa nelja¤nnen Lome·n yleissopimuksen 186 artiklan 2 kohta, jossa ma¤a¤ra¤ta¤a¤n, etta¤ Stabex-ja¤rjestelma¤n kautta siirreta¤a¤n varoja AKT-valtion ja komission sopimien keskina¤isten velvoitteiden mukaisesti joko alalle, jolla vientitulot ovat va¤hentyneet, tai, siina¤ ma¤a¤rin kuin aiheellista, monipuolistamisen tukemiseksi muille sopiville tuotannonaloille ja ta¤llo¤in la¤hinna¤ maatalousa- loille. Osapuolten keskina¤isista¤ velvoitteista ka¤yta¤va¤n keskustelun kuluessa tarkastellaan, sopivatko perushyo¤dykkei- den viennin monipuolistamiseen ja tuottajamaiden muutosprosessin tukemiseen ta¤hta¤a¤va¤t toimet asianomaisen maan makrotaloudelliseen rakenteeseen. Jos niiden todetaan sopivan kyseiseen rakenteeseen, ne liiteta¤a¤n osaksi valmisteilla olevaa keskina¤isten velvotteiden kehysta¤
