In a communication of 24 November 2016 from the Director General of DG MARE, Mr Joao Aguiar Machado, to the Director General of the JRC, Mr Vladimir Sucha, the JRC was requested to carry out an analysis to determine the proportions of fish stocks distributed
in the waters of the various Member States and of the catches of such fish and in particular, as a matter of urgency, to obtain the best possible information on catches (and the value of those catches) taken from the UK EEZ by EU-27 states.
Subsequent to that communication a meeting between representatives from the relevant
EU-27 Member States (BE, DE, DK, ES, FR, IE, NL, SE, herafter referred to as the EU-8),
DG MARE and JRC was held on 16 December 2016 to discuss the approach to be taken andthe timeline.
At that meeting it was agreed that during January 2017, Member States would be given
the opportunity to resubmit data for cases where there was the need to amend the data
previously submitted under the 2016 DCF Fleet Economic and FDI data calls (e.g. 2015
landings data were preliminary in the 2016 Fleet economics data call). It was also agreed
that the JRC would provide its data upload facility, compile and analyse the data submitted
by Member States and produce a report containing as primary product, 5-year averages
of estimates of landings in weight and value by each (relevant) Member State from the UK
EEZ, also expressed as percentage of total MS landings and value, plus tables of the
breakdown of such estimates by fish species and Member State.
This report presents the results of the analyses undertaken by the JRC.
