New EU Data Collection Multi-Annual Programme (EU DC-MAP) 2014-2020 FISHERIES New EU Data Collection Multi-Annual Programme (EU DC-MAP) 2014-2020 IMP expert group 11/12/2012 DG MARE C3 Bas Drukker

Introduction Articles 37 & 38 of the CFP reform proposal will repeal the existing DCF legislation Details on data collection obligations to be laid down in a new EU Multi-Annual Programme (EU DC-MAP) replacing provisions currently in Council regulation 199/2008 The financial basis for the new EU-DCMAP is covered in the new European Maritime and Fisheries Fund proposal (EMFF)

New legal set-up EMFF Articles 37 & 38 of the Basic Regulation CFP Specific provisions for Data Collection New EU DC-MAP for Data Collection MS OP Chapter on Data Collection + Annual Work Plan

New legal set-up Now (DCF 2009-2013) Future (DC MAP2014-2020) Council Regulation (861/2006) EMFF Financial Implementing Commission Regulation(1078/2008) Implementing Commission Decision Council Regulation (199/2008) Basic Regulation CFP (Articles 37 & 38) Implementing Commission Regulation (665/2008) EU Data Collection MAP 2O14-2020 Implementing Commission Decision (93/2010/EU) Technical 28 MS Operational Programmes - Chapter on Data Collection (2014-2020) 22 MS National Programmes (2009-2010) 28 MS Annual Work Plan on Data Collection 22 MS National Programmes (2011-2013)

Development of the EU 2014-2020 Multi-Annual Programme Member States End-Users Obligations Advice Data Product based approach

Expectations vs. Realisation in the DCF Harmonization at EU level Planning of work in the MS Co-funding to improve quality and availability Solid basis for stock assessments, towards a mixed fisheries approach Nearly open access Data on control/monitoring/surveillance and spatial resolution Reduction of bias – mandatory observer access Inclusion of ecosystem related data Inclusion of socio-economic data Possibilities for permanent data bases (no time limit) Stronger control/sanction instruments

Strength of DCF Established since 2002 Data Availability Common Framework Financial Support More transparency Harmonisation in data collection Introduced standards Co-ordination and Co-operation by MS Quality Control Metier Approach Bio- economic Framework Regional Approach Good Dialogue with EU Institutions Included Data End User Input

Weaknesses of DCF Too little focus on use of data DCF incomplete Inefficient use of resources Complexity Mismatch between needs and outputs Administrative Burden Follow up of MS Actions No Reporting website for Reference material Metier data not used by RFMO At sea observations - monitoring difficult (other means?) Data quality No catalogue of recommendations for MS Dialogue with Data End Users could be better DCF output driven (Data Delivery) not Results Based driven 8

Data Collection under the New CFP a strong focus on regional cooperation and thus participate in the regionalization approach of the new CFP. provide for improved science (knowledge) and scientific advice (interpretation and use of knowledge). serve to fulfil a number of obligations stemming from the MSFD, but not all allow for the monitoring of the development of all fish production in the EU, whether marine or fresh water aquaculture. provide better data to monitor the socio-economic evolution of all European fisheries, including in view of improved impact assessment of conservation measures.

Contents of the EU-MAP Already in 199/2008 Provisions on a multi-annual sampling programme, at-sea monitoring of commercial and recreational fisheries, a scheme for research surveys and a scheme for management and use of data Provisions on coordination and cooperation Provisions on data storage, use and transfer Provisions referring to EU financial assistance

New contents Provisions for participation in a regional database for scientific data Provisions for enhanced regional cooperation (more tasks for the RCMs, regional ranking of metiers and regional lists of species to be sampled) New provisions on data formats and aggregation levels (one format for all involved parties, same aggregation level for socio-economic and biological data)

Financial issues Shared management in stead of direct management (EMFF) Simplified for commission More flexible for mss, but also more work Ex-ante conditionalities Budget: about 50 million

How do we get there? Consultations within commission Consultations with STECF experts and end-users Consultations with national experts and the EP Consultations with RACs and other stakeholders (NGOs, RFMOs)
