EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1.CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL

•Reasons for and objectives of the proposal

The purpose of the proposal is to implement into Union law certain measures adopted by the following Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs): the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT); the South Pacific Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO); the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO); the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC); the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) and the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC).

ICCAT is the RFMO responsible for managing tuna and tuna-like fishery resources in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. ICCAT has the authority to adopt recommendations for the conservation and management of the fisheries under its purview, which are binding for the Contracting Parties. Those recommendations are essentially addressed to the Contracting Parties to the Convention, but also contain obligations for operators (e.g. vessel masters) which apply exclusively to the ICCAT Convention area, covering the high seas and exclusive economic zones of Contracting Parties. Article VIII(2) of the ICCAT Convention states that ICCAT recommendations become effective for all Contracting Parties six months after the date of the notification from the ICCAT Commission and the Contracting Parties are required to implement them. The last ICCAT conservation and enforcement recommendations were implemented into Union law through Regulations (EU) 2017/2107 1(1), (EU) 2023/2053 2(2) and (EU) 2023/2833 3(3) of the European Parliament and of the Council. This proposal seeks to implement the recommendations adopted by ICCAT in its annual meetings in 2024 and 2025.

SPRFMO is the RFMO responsible for the management of fishery resources in the South Pacific Ocean and adjoining seas excluding tuna and tuna-like species. The EU has been a Contracting Party to the SPRFMO since 2010. The SPRFMO Convention provides that decisions adopted by the SPRFMO are binding on its Contracting Parties, participating fishing entities, and cooperating non-Contracting Parties, as well as operators. Regulation (EU) 2018/975 4(4) implemented into Union law the management, conservation and control measures adopted by the SPRFMO between 2013 and 2017. This proposal seeks to implement certain management, conservation and control measures adopted by the SPRFMO at its annual meeting in 2025.

NAFO is the RFMO responsible for managing fishery resources in the Northwest Atlantic under its purview. NAFO’s conservation and management measures apply exclusively to the NAFO Regulatory Area, the high seas, defined as the area that lies beyond the area where coastal states exercise fisheries jurisdiction. The EU has been a Contracting Party to NAFO since 1979. The NAFO Convention states that the conservation measures adopted by the NAFO Commission are binding (Articles XIV, VI.8 and VI.9) and that the Contracting Parties are required to implement them. Regulation (EU) 2019/833 5(5) implemented into Union law the NAFO conservation and enforcement measures adopted by NAFO until 2018 and that regulation was amended in 2021 and 2022 to implement the measures adopted by NAFO in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022. This proposal seeks to implement the amendments adopted by NAFO at its annual meeting in 2025.

IATTC is the RFMO responsible for the conservation and management of fisheries for tunas and other species taken by tuna-fishing vessels in the Eastern Pacific Ocean (EPO). The EU has been member of the IATTC since 2006. The IATTC Convention ('Antigua Convention') provides that resolutions adopted by IATTC are binding on its Contracting Parties and cooperating non-Contracting Parties, as well as operators. Regulation (EU) 2021/56 6(6) implemented into Union law laying down management, conservation and control measures applicable in IATTC. This proposal seeks to implement amendments adopted by IATTC at its annual meeting in 2021.

The Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) is the RFMO responsible for managing tuna and tuna-like fishery resources in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean, (WCPO). The conservation and management measures (CMMs) adopted by WCPFC are binding upon Members, Participating Territories and Cooperating Non-Members. CMMs apply throughout the WCPFC Convention area, covering the high seas and exclusive economic zones of CCMs. Regulation (EU) 2022/2056 7(7) implemented into Union law the resolutions of the WCPFC adopted between 2004 and 2021. This proposal seeks to implement the amendments adopted by WCPFC at its annual meetings in 2024 and 2025.

The IOTC is the RFMO responsible for managing tuna and tuna-like fishery resources in the Indian Ocean. The IOTC’s conservation and management measures apply to the IOTC area of competence, which is the Indian Ocean (defined for the purpose of the IOTC agreement as the FAO statistical areas 51 and 57 and adjacent seas, north of the Antarctic Convergence). The EU has been a Contracting Party to IOTC since 1995. The IOTC Agreement states that the resolutions adopted by the IOTC are binding and that the Contracting Parties are required to implement them. Regulation (EU) 2022/2343 8(8) implemented into Union law the resolutions of the IOTC adopted between 2000 and 2021. This proposal seeks to implement the amendments and new resolutions adopted by IOTC at its annual meeting in 2025.

 •    Consistency with existing policy provisions in the policy area

The proposal is in line with Part VI (external policy) of the common fisheries policy Regulation (EU) 1380/2013 9(9) which provides that the Union conducts its external fisheries in accordance with its international obligations and bases the Union's fishing activities on regional fisheries cooperation.

The proposal complements both the external fleet management Regulation (EU) 2017/2403 10(10), which provides that Union fishing vessels are subject to Regional Fisheries Management Organisations fishing authorisations, and Council Regulation (EC) 1005/2008 11(11) concerning illegal unreported and unregulated fishing, which provides for the inclusion of the Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) list into the Union IUU vessels list.

This proposal does not cover the EU’s fishing opportunities decided by ICCAT, SPRFMO, NAFO, IATTC, WCPFC, and IOTC. Under Article 43(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), it is the Council’s prerogative to adopt measures on fixing prices, levies, aid and quantitative limitations, and on the fixing and allocation of fishing opportunities.

•Consistency with other Union policies

The proposal is consistent with other Union policies and seeks to implement obligations incurred by the Union as a member of the relevant RFMOs.

2.LEGAL BASIS, SUBSIDIARITY AND PROPORTIONALITY

•Legal basis

The proposal is based on Article 43(2) TFEU, as it sets out the provisions needed to pursue the objectives of the common fisheries policy.

•Subsidiarity (for non-exclusive competence)

The proposal falls under the exclusive competence of the Union (Article 3(1)(d) TFEU). Therefore, the subsidiarity principle does not apply.

•Proportionality

The proposal will ensure that the Union’s obligations in ICCAT, SPRFMO, NAFO, IATTC, WCPFC and IOTC are met, without going beyond what is necessary to achieve this objective.

•Choice of the instrument

A regulation is chosen to amend existing Regulation (EU) 2017/2107, Regulation (EU) 2018/975, Regulation (EU) 2019/833, Regulation (EU) 2021/56, Regulation (EU) 2022/2056, Regulation (EU) 2022/2343, and Regulation (EU) 2023/2053.

3.RESULTS OF EX-POST EVALUATIONS, STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATIONS AND IMPACT ASSESSMENTS

•Ex-post evaluations/fitness checks of existing legislation

Not relevant.

•Stakeholder consultations

EU Member States’ national experts and industry representatives were consulted both during the run-up to the relevant annual meetings of above referred organisations at which these measures were adopted and during the negotiations.

•Collection and use of expertise

This proposal implements into Union law measures adopted by ICCAT, SPRFMO, NAFO, IATTC, WCPFC and IOTC in accordance with the advice of these organisations’ respective standing committees on science and control issues.

•Impact assessment

Not relevant. This proposal implements into Union law the ICCAT, SPRFMO, NAFO, IATTC, WCPFC and IOTC conservation and management measures that are binding on the Union.

•Regulatory fitness and simplification

This proposal is not linked to regulatory fitness and simplification (REFIT).

•Fundamental rights

This proposal does not impact fundamental rights. 

4.BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS

This proposal has no budgetary implications.

5.OTHER ELEMENTS

•Implementation plans and monitoring, evaluation and reporting arrangements

Not applicable.

•Detailed explanation of the specific provisions of the proposal

For ICCAT, the amendments align with the most recent ICCAT rules on by-catch of tropical tunas. For bluefin tuna, the concept of "farming capacity" is removed and new procedures regarding the verification of processing declarations are introduced.

For SPRFMO the proposal covers further measure adopted in 2025, prohibiting subsidies to a vessel or operator of a vessel listed on the SPRFMO IUU Vessel list.

For NAFO, the amendments relate to the replacement of the word "discrepancies" by "potential non-compliance" as well as the introduction in NAFO of an electronic observation programme and the requirements it shall meet if be used.

For IATTC, the amendments relate to some definitions and the transmission of information related to FADs and satellite buoy.

For WCPFC, amendments are related to chartering and protection of sensitive species, including reporting.

For IOTC, the amendments align with the most recent IOTC rules on:

•the vessel monitoring system (VMS) programme;

•the regional observer scheme;

•the conservation of sharks caught in association with fisheries managed by IOTC;

•the conservation of shortfin and longfin mako sharks caught in association with IOTC fisheries;

•the underage and overage of skipjack, bigeye and yellowfin tuna in the IOTC area of competence,

For IOTC, a series of definitions is also reintroduced.

Member States shall require vessels flying their flag to implement, while giving due consideration to the safety of the crew, the minimum standards for safe handling and release procedures of shortfin and longfin mako sharks, as provided under Annex 13 of this Regulation, in order to promptly release unharmed, to the extent practicable, and to improve survivability of live shortfin and longfin mako sharks.

2. Any sharks retention is permissible only when the fish is dead at haulback, and the vessel has an observer or a functioning and compliant electronic monitoring system (EMS) on board to verify the condition of the sharks. In the absence of an observer or a functioning EMS, all shortfin and longfin mako sharks shall be released or discarded.

3. It is prohibited to tranship, whole or in part, shortfin or longfin mako sharks caught in association with IOTC fisheries and retained on board.

4. Union fishing vessels shall record and report all catches including dead discards and live releases of mako sharks, at species level.

5. Member States shall provide all relevant data for IOTC mako sharks in line with Article 51, paragraph 1(b).

6. Member States are encouraged to continue undertaking scientific research that provides information on key biological/ecological parameters, life‐history, migrations and post‐release survival of shortfin and longfin mako sharks."

(7)in Article 15, the following paragraphs 4 and 5 are added:

"4. Union fishing vessels shall fully utilise all sharks retained on board their vessels, meaning retain all parts of the shark except head, guts and skin, to the point of first landing.

5. Where possible, Member States and the Commission shall endeavour to conduct research on sharks taken in the Area, in order to:

a) identify ways to make fishing gears more selective and reduce the mortality of incidentally caught sharks, in particular oceanic whitetip sharks, thresher sharks, whale sharks;

b) improve knowledge on key biological/ecological parameters, life-history, behavioural traits, migration patterns, and post-release survival of key shark species, including oceanic whitetip sharks, thresher sharks, whale sharks and silky sharks, hammerhead sharks and mako sharks;

c) facilitate capacity building of CPCs in shark species identification to improve data reporting at species level;

d) identify key shark mating, pupping and nursery areas, including for oceanic whitetip sharks, thresher sharks, whale sharks, and silky sharks, hammerhead sharks and mako sharks; and

e) improve handling practices for live sharks to maximise post-release survival."

(8)the following Article 15a is inserted between Articles 15 and 16:

"Article 15a Bycatch mitigation measures

1. Union long-line vessels do not use branch lines running directly off the longline floats or drop lines, known as shark lines, depicted as a schematic diagram of a shark line is set out in Annex 12 of this Regulation.

2. Union fishing vessels shall:

a) promptly release, to the extent practicable, oceanic whitetip sharks, thresher sharks, whale sharks if recognised before bringing them on board the vessel or when brought alongside to ensure safe identification;

b) release, in fisheries in which sharks are unwanted species, sharks (in particular juveniles and pregnant sharks) alive that are caught incidentally and are not used on board for food and/or subsistence

3. Flag Member State shall ensure that their flag recreational and sport fishing vessels:

a) release alive all caught oceanic whitetip sharks, thresher sharks and whale sharks; and

b) are equipped, if they are carrying out fishing with high probability of catching oceanic whitetip sharks, thresher sharks, whale sharks, with instruments suitable to release the animals alive.

4. Union fishing vessels shall release the shark as soon as practically possible, taking into consideration the safety of the crew and observer, in accordance with the Minimum Standards for Safe Handling And Live Release Procedures set out in Annex 13 of this Regulation."

(9)in Article 31, paragraph (2) is replaced by the following:

"2. The observer shall, within 30 days of completion of each trip, provide a report to the flag Member State. The report shall be provided by area of 1° latitude by 1° longitude. Member States shall send each report and observer data to the Commission, or to a body designated by it, for the previous year no later than 15 June of the following year. For the observer placed on the longline fleet, Member States shall ensure that the provisional data are provided by 15 June, and the final data are provided no later than 10 December, to the Commission or to a body designated by it."

(10)in Article 34, the following paragraph 3 is added:

"3.When the vessel in the e-RAV first appears inside the EEZ of another CPC on a given trip and is not transiting and not authorised to fish in that CPC's EEZ, and is encouraged to provide ongoing vessel position reports while the vessel remains inside the EEZ, except for port entry in accordance with Chapter VI on Port State Measures, Member States shall ensure the following information is transmitted to the competent authority of other CPC:

(a) the vessel identification;

(b) the geographical position of the vessel (longitude, latitude) with a position error which shall be less than 500 metres, at a confidence level of 99%; and

(c) the date and time (expressed in UTC) of the fixing of the said position of the vessel."

(11)in Article 19, the following paragraphs 1a and 1b are inserted between paragraphs 1 and 2:

"1a. Union fishing vessels shall not retain on board, transship, land and store any part or whole carcass of whale sharks.

1b. By way of derogation from paragraph 1a, scientific observers shall be allowed to collect biological samples from whale sharks taken in the Area that are dead at haul back, provided that the samples are a part of a research project approved by the IOTC Scientific Committee or the IOTC Working Party on Ecosystems and Bycatch."

(12)in Article 51, paragraph 1 the following point (g)is added:

"(g) all relevant data for IOTC mako sharks, including estimates of dead discards and live releases using the methods approved by the IOTC Scientific Committee."

(13)in Article 54, paragraph 1 point (i) is replaced by the following:

"(i)Annexes 1 to 13;"

(14)the Annexes are amended in accordance with Annex II of this Regulation.
