States shall also adopt such measures on an emergency basis where fishing activity presents a serious threat to the sustainability of such stocks.

If a natural phenomenon has a significant adverse impact on the status of straddling fish stocks or highly migratory fish stocks, States shall adopt conservation and management measures on an emergency basis to ensure that fishing activity does not exacerbate such adverse impact.

Such organisations or arrangements should request non-members or non-participants to provide data concerning relevant fishing activities by vessels flying their flag;

(j) collect and share, in a timely manner, complete and accurate data concerning fishng activities on, inter alia, vessel position, catch of target and non-target species and fishing effort, as set out in Annex I, as well as information from national and international research programmes;

b. Presenting information required by the IRP for carrying out its functions and responsibilities, including observer IRP forms and field data forms providing information on the activities of the vessels, dolphin mortality, and the presence, condition, and use of the dolphin safety equipment and gear;

(a) States should ensure that data are collected from vessels flying their flag on fishing activities according to the operational characteristics of each fishing method (e.g., each individual tow for trawl, each set for long-line and purse-seine, each school fished for pole-and-line and each day fished for troll) and in sufficient detail to facilitate effective stock assessment;

(c) take into account, inter alia, uncertainties relating to the size and productivity of the stocks, reference points, stock condition in relation to such reference points, levels and distribution of fishing mortality and the impact of fishing activities on non-target and associated or dependent species, as well as existing and predicted oceanic, environmental and socioeconomic conditions, and

"the date and time the gear is shot and the date and time of completion of the fishing operation."`

Control of fishing activities

CONDUCT OF FISHING ACTIVITIES

Information on fishing operations

end fishing operations: time,

Systems for managing fishing activity.

start fishing operations: time,

Whereas the present arrangements concerning rules of access for fishing vessels of other Member States whose fishing activity is traditionally pursued in waters within that 12-mile limit should equally be renewed until 31 December 2002;

Management and monitoring of fishing activity

a written undertaking by the recipient that the fishing activity of one or more vessels owned by him will be suspended for a given period and that any change of home port while the vessel or vessels concered are laid up will be notified.

ACCESS TO FISHING ACTIVITIES IN THE CONVENTION AREA

duration of fishing operations: indicate difference in hours between start and end of fishing operations.

The permanent cessation of vessels' fishing activities may be achieved by:

IUU activities carried out by Contracting Party vessels

establish zones in which fishing activities are prohibited or restricted;

"IUU activities" means illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing activities in the Convention area;

and/or in international waters where fisheries are ruled by an international Convention;

Whereas special arrangements concerning fishing activity in one sensitive region should be maintained;

where the vessel has engaged in harvesting activities in the Convention area, that they are in compliance with the CCAMLR conservation measures.

engages in fishing activity conflicting with any other ICCAT conservation and management measure.

Measures to stop vessels' fishing activities may be applied only to vessels 10 years old or more.

Without prejudice to Article 16, measures to restrict fishing activities may include restrictions on the fishing days or days at sea authorised for a specific period.

Whereas fishing activities using drift-nets have in the past undergone a rapid increase in terms of fishing effort;

Where the vessel leaves an effort zone in which it has carried out fishing activities and where the vessel enters another effort zone in which it is likely to carry out fishing activities, an additional line must be completed.

the vessel concerned demonstrates a consistent minimum line sink rate of 0,3 m/s during its fishing operations;

Where an authorized vessel enters an effort zone without carrying out fishing activity in that zone, an additional line must be completed.

transhipped or participated in joint fishing operations with vessels appearing on the CCAMLR IUU vessel list;

Where the vessel leaves an effort zone in which it has carried out fishing activities and will not carry out further fishing activities in an effort zone, an additional line must be completed.

the drawing up of plans for the laying-up of the vessels owned by their members in order to reduce fishing activity.

Whereas conservation and management of resources must contribute to a greater stability of fishing activities and must be appraised on the basis of a reference allocation reflecting the orientations given by the Council;

whereas uncontrolled expansion of these activities could present a grave risk of an excessive increase in the fishing effort as regards the target species;

Where the vessel enters an effort zone in which it is likely to carry out fishing activities, an additional line must be completed.

an activity plan covering at least five years, showing, in particular, fishing zones, places of landing and final destination of catches;

means any vessel engaged in illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing activities in the Convention area.

Where the vessel carries out trans-zonal fishing activities, an additional line must be completed. The following information is to be inserted in that line: "the date;

the period for which it is authorised to fish in the Convention area, with the dates on which fishing activities start and end;

The information required on fishing operations is to be filled in against the corresponding numbers on the page of the log-book, as follows:

premiums for other cases stopping fishing activities permanently: the maximum amounts for the scrapping premiums referred to in (a) above, less 50 %.

means a fishing vessel which flies the flag of a non-Contracting Party to the Convention and which has been sighted engaging in fishing activities in the Convention area;

Where a vessel carries out fishing activities using static or fixed gear, the master must fill in an additional line for that day at sea.

In order to ensure that Community rules are clearer, the measures for the control of fishing activities and those falling within the technical field should be transposed separately.

Whereas, where an authorized fishing vessel crosses a fishery without carrying out fishing activities this information must be recorded in the logbook;

shall distribute the fishing opportunities between Member States in such a way as to assure each Member State relative stability of fishing activities for each of the stocks concerned;
