ANNEX III INFORMATION TO BE TRANSMITTED TO THE COMMISSION BY THIRD-COUNTRY VESSELS FISHING IN EU WATERS 1. The information to be transmitted to the European Commission and the timetable for its transmission is as follows: 1.1. On each occasion a vessel commences a fishing trip ( 1 ) in EU waters it shall send a ‘catch on entry’ message specifying the following: SR m ( 2 ) (= start of record) AD m XEU (= to European Commission) SQ m (serial number of message in current year) TM m COE (= ‘catch on entry’) RC m (international radio call sign) TN o ( 3 ) (fishing trip serial number in the year) NA o (name of the vessel) IR m (Flag state as ISO-3 country code, where applicable followed by a unique reference number, if any, as applied in the flag state) XR m (external identification letters; side number of the vessel) LT ( 4 ) o ( 5 ) (latitude position of the vessel at time of transmission) LG ( 4 ) o ( 5 ) (longitude position of the vessel at time of transmission) LI o (estimated latitude position where the master intends to commence fishing, degrees or decimal presentation) LN o (estimated longitude position where the master intends to commence fishing, degrees or decimal presentation) RA m (relevant ICES area) OB m (quantity by species on board, in the hold, in pairs as needed: FAO code + live weight in kilograms, rounded to the nearest 100 kilograms) DA m (date of transmission in yyyymmdd format) TI m (time of transmission in hhmm format) MA m (name of the master of the vessel) ER m (= end of record) 1.2. On each occasion a vessel terminates a fishing trip ( 1 ) in EU waters it shall send a ‘catch on exit’ message specifying the following: SR m (= start of record) AD m XEU (= to European Commission) SQ m (serial number of message for that vessel in current year) TM m COX (= ‘catch on exit’) RC m (international radio call sign) TN o (fishing trip serial number in the year) NA o (name of the vessel) IR m (Flag state as ISO-3 country code, where applicable followed by a unique reference number, if any, as applied in the flag state) XR m (external identification letters; side number of the vessel) LT ( 6 ) o ( 7 ) (latitude position of the vessel at time of transmission) LG ( 6 ) o ( 7 ) (longitude position of the vessel at time of transmission) RA m (relevant ICES area where catches were taken) CA m (catch quantity by species since last report in pairs as needed: FAO code + live weight in kilograms, rounded to the nearest 100 kilograms) OB o (quantity by species on board, in the hold, in pairs as needed: FAO code + live weight in kilograms, rounded to the nearest 100 kilograms) DF o (days fished since last report) DA m (date of transmission in yyyymmdd format) TI m (time of transmission in hhmm format) MA m (name of the master of the vessel) ER m (= end of record) 1.3. At 3-day intervals, commencing on the third day after the vessel first enters the zones referred to under 1.1 when fishing for herring and mackerel, and in weekly intervals, commencing the seventh day after the vessel first enters the zones referred to under 1.1 when fishing for all species other than herring and mackerel, a ‘catch report’ message has to be sent, specifying: SR m (= start of record) AD m XEU (= to European Commission) SQ m (serial number of message for that vessel in current year) TM m CAT (= ‘catch report’) RC m (international radio call sign) TN o (fishing trip serial number in the year) NA o (name of the vessel) IR m (Flag state as ISO-3 country code, where applicable followed by a unique reference number, if any, as applied in the flag state) XR m (external identification letters; side number of the vessel) LT ( 8 ) o ( 9 ) (latitude position of the vessel at time of transmission) LG ( 8 ) o ( 9 ) (longitude position of the vessel at time of transmission) RA M (relevant ICES area where catches were taken) CA m (catch quantity by species since last report in pairs as needed: FAO code + live weight in kilograms, rounded to the nearest 100 kilograms) OB o (quantity by species on board, in the hold, in pairs as needed: FAO code + live weight in kilograms, rounded to the nearest 100 kilograms) DF o (days fished since last report) DA m (date of transmission in yyyymmdd format) TI m (time of transmission in hhmm format) MA m (name of the master of the vessel) ER m (= end of record) 1.4. Whenever a trans-shipment is planned between the ‘catch on entry’ and ‘catch on exit’ message and apart from the ‘catch report’ messages, an additional ‘trans-shipment’ message has to be sent minimum 24 hours in advance, specifying: SR m (= start of record) AD m XEU (= to European Commission) SQ m (serial number of message for that vessel in current year) TM m TRA (= ‘trans-shipment’) RC m (international radio call sign) TN o (fishing trip serial number in the year) NA o (name of the vessel) IR m (Flag state as ISO-3 country code, where applicable followed by a unique reference number, if any, as applied in the flag state) XR m (external identification letters; side number of the vessel) KG m (quantity by species on- or off-loaded in pairs as needed: FAO code + live weight in kilograms, rounded to the nearest 100 kilograms) TT m (international radio call sign of the receiving vessel) TF m (international radio call sign of the donor vessel) LT ( 10 ) m/o ( 11 ) ( 12 ) (predicted latitude position of the vessel where the trans-shipment is planned) LG ( 10 ) m/o ( 11 ) ( 12 ) (predicted longitude position of the vessel where the trans-shipment is planned) PD m (predicted date when the trans-shipment is planned) PT m (predicted time when the trans-shipment is planned) DA m (date of transmission in yyyymmdd format) TI m (time of transmission in hhmm format) MA m (name of the master of the vessel) ER m (= end of record) 2. Form of the communication Unless point 3.3 below is applied, the information specified above under point 1 shall be transmitted respecting the codes and ordering of data as specified above; in particular, — the text ‘VRONT’ must be placed in the subject line of the message, — each data item will be placed on a new line, — the data itself will be preceded by the indicated code, separated from each-other by a space. Example (with fictitious data): SR AD XEU SQ 1 TM COE RC IRCS TN 1 NA VESSEL NAME EXAMPLE IR NOR XR PO 12345 LT +65,321 LG –21,123 RA 04A.

The information specified under point 1 shall be transmitted by the vessel to the European Commission in Brussels by Telex (SAT COM C 420599543 FISH), electronic mail (FISHERIES-telecom@ec.europa.eu) or via one of the radio stations listed under point 4 below and in the form specified under point 2. 3.2. If it is impossible for reasons of force majeure for the message to be transmitted by the vessel, it may be transmitted on the vessel’s behalf by another vessel. 3.3. In the case a Flag State has the technical capability to send all above messages and contents in the so-called NAF-format on behalf of its operating vessels, that Flag State may — after bilateral agreement between the Flag State and the Commission — transmit this information via a secured transmission protocol to the European Commission in Brussels.
