COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 768/2005

of 26 April 2005

establishing a Community Fisheries Control Agency and amending Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),

Whereas:

 

(1)

Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the common fisheries policy (2) requires Member States to ensure effective control, inspection and enforcement of the rules of the common fisheries policy and to cooperate with each other and with third countries to this end.
 

(2)

To fulfil these obligations it is necessary for the Member States to coordinate their control and inspection activities within their land territory and in Community and international waters in accordance with international law and, in particular, the obligations of the Community in the framework of regional fisheries organisations and under agreements with third countries.
 

(3)

No inspection scheme can be cost effective without providing for inspections on land. It is for that reason that land territory should be covered by joint deployment plans.
 

(4)

Such cooperation, through the operational coordination of control and inspection activities, should contribute to the sustainable exploitation of living aquatic resources as well as ensuring a level playing field for the fishing industry involved in this exploitation thus reducing distortions in competition.
 

(5)

Effective fisheries control and inspection is considered as essential to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing.
 

(6)

Without prejudice to the responsibilities of Member States that arise from Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002, there is need for a technical and administrative Community body to organise cooperation and coordination between Member States regarding fisheries control and inspection.
 

(7)

To this end, it is appropriate within the Community’s existing institutional structure, and taking account of the repartition of competences between the Commission and the Member States, to establish a Community Fisheries Control Agency (‘the Agency’).
 

(8)

For the achievement of the purposes for which the Agency is established, its tasks need to be defined.
 

(9)

In particular, it is necessary for the Agency, at the request of the Commission, to be able to assist the Community and the Member States in their relations with third countries and/or regional fisheries organisations and to cooperate with their competent authorities within the framework of the international obligations of the Community.
 

(10)

Moreover, there is a need to work towards the effective application of Community inspection procedures. The Agency could over time become a reference source for scientific and technical assistance for fisheries control and inspection.
 

(11)

In order to meet the objectives of the common fisheries policy, which is to provide for a sustainable exploitation of living aquatic resources in the context of sustainable development, the Council adopts measures concerning conservation, management and exploitation of living aquatic resources.
 

(12)

To ensure the proper enforcement of these measures adequate control and enforcement means must be deployed by the Member States. In order to make such control and enforcement more effective and efficient it is appropriate for the Commission in accordance with the...
