Article 61

Certification of propulsion engine power

Article 62

Verification and sampling plan

For the purpose of verifying the engine power in accordance with Article 41 of the Control Regulation, Member States shall establish a sampling plan for the identification of those fishing vessels or groups of fishing vessels in their fleet with a risk of under-declaration of propulsion engine power. As a minimum, the sampling plan shall be based on following high risk criteria:

(a) fishing vessels operating in fisheries that are subject to fishing effort regimes, in particular those fishing vessels to which an individual effort allocation in kW*days has been allocated;

(b) fishing vessels subject to limitations of vessel power resulting from national or European Union law;

(c) fishing vessels for which the ratio of vessel power (kW) to vessel tonnage (GT) is 50 % lower than the average ratio for the same type of fishing vessel, gear type and target species. For the purpose of that analysis, Member States may divide the fleet according to one or several of the following criteria: (i) fleet segmentation or management units defined in national law; (ii) length categories; (iii) tonnage categories; (iv) gears used; (v) target species.
