  1. CONTROL POLICY COURT OF AUDITORS REPORT

  2. Registration and validation of catch data • NATIONAL CATCH REGISTRATION SYSTEMS HAVE NUMEROUS SHORTCOMINGS • INCOMPLETE AND UNRELIABLE DATA

  3. Consequences COMMISSION UNABLE TO: • IDENTIFY ERRORS AND ANOMALIES • TAKE NECESSARY DECISIONS IN DUE TIME

  4. CONTROL • INSPECTION SYSTEMS DO NOT GUARANTEE EFFICIENT PREVENTION OR DETECTION • LEGAL BASIS IS INCOMPLETE AND NOT APPLIED BY MS • ABSENCE OF GENERAL CONTROL STANDARDS • MS DO NOT MAKE OPTIMAL USE OF INSPECTION ACTIVITES

  5. RESULT • LIMITED CAPACITY OF THE COMMISSION TO EVALUATE THE SITUATION IN THE MS • INEFFICIENT AND INSUFFICIENT CONTROLS • INFRINGEMENT CULTURE IN THE SECTOR AND IN THE ADMINISTRATIONS • PUTS THE CFP INTO QUESTION

  6. INFRINGEMENTS MS & COM • FOLLOW-UP PROCEDURES DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT SANCTIONS ARE IMPOSED • NON-EXISTENT OR NOT VERY DISSUASIVE SANCTIONS • ONLY PROCEDURE "ACTION IN EVENT OF FAILURE": LONG AND NOT VERY EFFECTIVE PROCEDURE

  7. CONCLUSION • FAILURE OF CONTROL POLICY • POLITICAL FAILURE OF RESOURCE MANAGEMENT • HEAVY CONSEQUENCES FOR THE FUTURE OF THE RESOURCE, THE INDUSTRY AND DEPENDENT REGIONS

  8. RECOMMENDATIONS • STRENGTHEN THE CONTROL, INSPECTION AND SANCTION SYSTEMS • IMPROVE THE COLLECTION, ANALYSIS AND CONTROL OF BASIC DATA • GUARANTEE GLOBAL CONTROL PRESSURE • PUT DISUASIVE SANCTIONS IN PLACE • ESTABLISH GENERAL STANDARDS OF CONTROL • REINFORCE THE CAPACITY AND POWERS OF THE COMMISSION • STRENGTHEN THE POWERS OF COMMISSION INSPECTORS • POWER TO SUSPEND PAYMENTS OF COMMUNITY AID • BROADEN THE MANDATE OF THE AGENCY

  16. FIDES/CRONT vs. Received data

  17. Conclusions • No reliable catch registration by MS • No verification and cross-checking • No reliable catch declaration to Commission (FIDES/CRONT)

  18. POLITICAL ASSESSMENT OF CONTROL • CONTROL TARGETING TECHNICAL MEASUREMENTS AND ACTIONS AT SEA • EFFICIENCY: - 1/600 at sea - 1/60 at landings - 1/6 at sale • ABSENCE OF CONTROL AUCTIONS, TRADERS AND IMPORTS

  19. FISHERIES ENFORCEMENT • REPORT BY THE COMPTROLLER AND AUDITOR GENERAL (2003): ° There is a very low probability (<1%) that on any day of fishing vessel will be subject to a inspection at sea, ° around six per cent chance of being inspected on land ° cross checking data (60 -70 % )

  23. WITHOUT RESULTS • SANCTIONS INSUFFICIENT AND UNHARMONISED • ABSENCE OF A CULTURE OF CONTROLS

  24. POLITICAL ASSESSMENT OF CONTROL COMPLEX INEFFICIENT EXPENSIVE WITHOUT RESULTS

  25. REFORMING FISHERIES CONTROL

  26. New policy framework Criteria: • Simplify • Harmonise • Cost effective • Develop a culture of control and inspection

  27. Culture of inspection and control • Development of inspection methodologies at sea and land; • Development of audit methodologies; • System of alert and mutual assistance.

  28. Use of new technologies: • Electronic logbook (ERS) • Vessel detection system (VDS); • Satellite based vessel monitoring system(VMS) • Tracability

  29. ROLE OF THE COMMISSION • PROPOSAL OF A NEW FRAMEWORK • TO AVOID APPROACH OF SUBSTITUTION • TO CREATE AN EFFECTIVE FRAMEWORK FOR ACTIONS BY MS • NO DIRECT CONTROL • CONTROL AND VERIFICATIONS OF INSPECTION DEVISCES OF MS • TO STRENGTHEN COOPERATION BETWEEN MS: ° MUTUAL ASSISTANCE SCHEMES. ° ALERT SYSTEM • SANCTIONS

  30. Reinforce the powers of the Commission • Strengthen the powers of Commission inspectors; • Revision of the initiatives taken by the Commission - Preventives mesures - Suspension and withdrawal of EC aid; - Closure of fisheries.

  31. Revising mandate of Control Agency • extending the scope of the activities of the Agency to include coordination of control of markets and cross border transport

  32. OBJECTIVES • STRENGTHEN THE CONTROL, INSPECTION AND SANCTION SYSTEMS • IMPROVE THE COLLECTION, ANALYSIS AND CONTROL OF BASIC DATA • GUARANTEE GLOBAL CONTROL PRESSURE • PUT DISSUASIVE SANCTIONS IN PLACE • ESTABLISH GENERAL STANDARDS OF CONTROL • IMPROVE THE CAPACITY AND ROLES OF THE COMMISSION AND BROADEN THE MANDATE OF THE AGENCY

  33. WEAK SANCTIONING CAPACITY SANCTION APPROACH STRENGTHEN COMMISSION POWERS PROCEDURES FINANCING LINK EFF NEW POLICY FRAMEWORK WEAK COMPLIANCE CULTURE FINANCING THE MS ABSENCE OF APPROACH BASED ON INCENTIVES NEW FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT CONSUMER AWARENESS FINANCING THE SECTOR AGENCY DEVELOP A COOPERATIVE APPROACH AMONG MS
