Abstract

This Recommendation is enacted by taking into account the importance of the vessel monitoring system (VMS) data and regular catch reports not only for monitoring control and surveillance purposes but also as a vital source of information for scientific purposes. The Recommendation requires the Secretary of NEAFC to make available VMS and catch data from the NEAFC Regulatory Area to ICES; while the data transferred shall not contain information identifying vessels and flag State. The information reporting is instructed by considering the need to maintain industry confidentiality of VMS data.
