2. 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)

3. 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

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

6. 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

7. 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

8. 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

9. 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.

10. 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

11. 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)

12. 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

13. 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)
