Development of the EU 2014-2020 Multi-Annual Programme

EU

Member States End-Users

Product based approach

Slide

FISHERIESExpectations 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

FISHERIES

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

Slide

FISHERIES

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)
