That database shall: (a) record all information submitted in accordance with the Annex and other information submitted to the Commission for the purpose of issuing fishing authorisations under Titles II and III, including the name, city, country of residence of the owner and of up to five main beneficial owners, and display the status of each authorisation as soon as possible; (b) be used for data and information exchange between the Commission and a Member State; and (c) be used for the purposes of sustainable management of fishing fleets as well as for the purposes of control only. 2. The list of all fishing authorisations issued under Titles II and III in the database shall be publicly accessible and contain all of the following information: (a) the name and flag of the vessel and its CFR and IMO numbers where required under Union law; (b) the type of authorisation including target species or species group(s); and (c) the authorised time and area of fishing operation (start and end dates; fishing area). 3. A Member State shall use the database to submit applications for fishing authorisations to the Commission and to keep its details updated, as required under Articles 11, 18, 22 and 26, and a third country shall use the database to submit applications for fishing authorisations as required under Article 34.
