FOREWORD At the time I was entrusted with the ICCAT Chairmanship, I made the commitment to study the tasks that would improve the work of our Commission in order to carry out its mission and achieve the objectives for which it was created. In the course of 2006, with the collaboration of the Secretariat, I was able to organize a number of workshops with the Contracting Parties in the various regions of the ICCAT Convention area. From the very informative discussions at these workshops, I have been able to discern a number of needs, at least some of which I felt that I, with the help of the Secretariat, could address. One of these, as it turns out, concerns the need for a tool that would provide ICCAT Contracting Parties and others with a better understanding of the reporting requirements and obligations of the Commission. ICCAT has many such requirements, and discussions during the 2006 workshops made it clear that a majority of Parties felt that these requirements should be more clearly presented to facilitate compliance. It is in this sense that I have instructed the Secretariat to develop the present document which constitutes the Manual of Procedures for the Submission of Information Required by ICCAT. The objective of this Manual is to present a summary of the requests for information required by ICCAT and to explain the procedures to provide the data and information. Thus, this guide does not substitute the recommendations and resolutions adopted by the Commission, which continue to be our legal references, but it serves to enhance our understanding of what information needs to be reported to ICCAT. I would like to take this occasion to congratulate the Secretariat for its efforts in successfully carrying out this work, which is for the benefit of us all. It is hoped that the Contracting Parties and others will make good use of this Manual. In so doing, I would like to ask all users to inform the Secretariat of any comments aimed at its improvement.

Dr. William T. Hogarth ICCAT Chairman

INTRODUCTION In order to achieve the objectives of the Convention, the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) has adopted a number of Recommendations and Resolutions that concern, in some cases, the submission of information on specific dates and in a well defined format. The Secretariat has developed this Manual which is simply a tool to orient the Contracting Parties, and the Cooperating non-Contracting Parties, Entities and Fishing Entities in fulfilling their obligations in relation to the submission of information required by the Commission. The objective of this Manual is not to replace the Abridged Compendium or the Compendium of Management Recommendations and Resolutions, but to serve as a guide for better understanding of the data requirements. For each data request, the Secretariat transmits a specific circular with the guidelines concerning the manner and the format of their submission. These circulars are accessible on the ICCAT web site, at: www.iccat.int/circulars. In order to accelerate the assimilation of the information described below in the Secretariat’s databases and to avoid data collection errors, the use of the electronic forms prepared and distributed by the Secretariat for this purpose is highly recommended. The Secretariat encourages the use of electronic files and recommends avoiding, inasmuch as possible, sending information by fax or scanned documents which can be difficult to read and thus cannot be processed. All the forms are attached to this Manual as Annex 1 and are available on the ICCAT web site at the following address: http://www.iccat.int/SubmitCOMP.htm. Annex 2 of this Manual explains the alphabetic codes of species, fishing gears, fishing areas and other codes or abbreviations used in some forms. As a general rule, the Secretariat acknowledges receipt of all information in order to indicate conformity of the data or to request clarifications, without expressing any judgment on the quality or reliability of the data. To facilitate consultation, this Manual is divided into five parts:

– Vessels in general. – Farming and management measures for east Atlantic bluefin tuna. – Implementation of Statistical Document Programs. – Declaration tables and trade measures. – Basic statistical and biological information required.

Each chapter is subdivided into four sub-chapters:

– Parties concerned: Indicates the Parties concerned regarding the data request. – Deadline date: Dates by which the information should be submitted. – Form: Title and code of the form for the submission of data. – Instructions and guidelines: Major instructions to complete the forms.

VESSELS IN GENERAL

Within the framework of the management of fishing effort aimed at tunas and tuna-like species and in order to fight against illegal fishing, the Commission has adopted a series of Recommendations and Resolutions to better manage the fishing fleets that operate in the Convention area. This chapter is divided into three sub-chapters. The first refers to the basic information on the vessels, the second to chartering, and the last chapter is dedicated to the vessels considered to be involved in illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing activities. A. Basic information on the lists of vessels A.1 Submission of the list of vessels over 24 m authorized to fish in the Convention area In accordance with the Recommendation by ICCAT Concerning the Establishment of an ICCAT Record of Vessels over 25 Meters Authorized to Operate in the Convention Area [Rec. 02-22], the Contracting Parties and the Cooperating non-Contracting Parties, Entities or Fishing Entities shall submit to the Secretariat the list of their vessels over 24 m operating in the ICCAT Convention area. All vessels over 24 m operating in the Convention area and which are not included on this list are deemed not be authorized to fish. A.1.1 Parties concerned All the Contracting Parties and Cooperating non-Contracting Parties, Entities or Fishing Entities that have vessels over 24 meters that are likely to fish in the Convention area must submit the list of these vessels to the Secretariat. A.1.2 Deadline date No deadline for updates has been established by the Commission. It is highly recommended that this information be submitted as soon as it becomes available. A.1.3 Form The form for the submission of this information is COMP-001-VESS-24.XLS. It is essential that this form be completed electronically to facilitate the processing of the data. A.1.4 Instructions and guidelines It should be ensured that all the required information is included on the forms. The inclusion of vessels on other lists of vessels required by the Commission does not exempt the Parties from submitting this specific list. The ICCAT identification number that is found in the first column of this form will be assigned by the Secretariat; it will be unique and will remain for the life of the vessel. Any lack of information may run the risk of being detrimental to the interests of the CPC by delaying trade and other operations. A.2 Report on the internal measures taken to guarantee that vessels over 24 meters observe the ICCAT

conservation and management measures In accordance with the Recommendation by ICCAT Concerning the Establishment of an ICCAT Record of Vessels over 24 Meters Authorized to Operate in the Convention Area [Rec. 02-22], the CPCs having vessels included in the ICCAT Record of Vessels over 24 meters should review their own actions and measures taken to ensure that their vessels comply with the ICCAT management measures and to present this review to the Secretariat for its transmittal to the Commission. A.2.1 Parties concerned All the Contracting Parties and Cooperating Parties, Entities or Fishing Entities that have vessels over 24 meters that may fish in the Convention area.

5

A.2.2 Deadline date This information, which will be reviewed by the Commission during its annual meeting, should be submitted to the Secretariat a month prior to the start of the Commission sessions. A.2.3 Form The form for the submission of this information is COMP-010-INT-24.XLS. A.2.4 Instructions and guidelines The list of actions included on the form is not exhaustive. Any other action, regulation and measure taken and not included on the form can be reported to the Commission. Please ensure that all the blanks on the form COMP-010-INT-24.XLS are completed. A.3 Submission of the list of vessels targeting northern albacore In accordance with the Recommendation by ICCAT Concerning the Limitation of Fishing Capacity on Northern Albacore [Rec. 98-08], the Contracting Parties and the non-Contracting Parties should transmit a list to the Secretariat of vessels targeting northern albacore in the ICCAT Convention area. A.3.1 Parties concerned All the Contracting or non-Contracting Parties, Entities or Fishing Entities which participates in a directed fishery for northern albacore are required to submit a list of their vessels participating in this fishery. Recreational fishing vessels are exempt from this regulation as are Parties whose average annual catches for the period 1993-1995 are less than 200 t, except Parties or Entities that have previously limited their fishing capacity in 1999. A.3.2 Deadline date Information relative to this measure should be submitted by June 1 of each year. A.3.3 Form The form for the declaration of these data is the « List of Vessels Operating a Direct Fishery for Albacore in the North Atlantic »: COMP-003_VES_ALB. A.3.4 Instructions and guidelines Ensure that all the required information is included on the forms. The inclusion of these vessels on other lists does not exempt the Parties concerned submitting this specific list. The ICCAT identification number included in the first column of this form will be assigned by the Secretariat will be unique and held exclusively by the vessel during its life. Vessels less than 24 meters can also be included on this list. A.4 Submission of the list of vessels authorized to receive transhipments in the ICCAT area In accordance with the Recommendation by ICCAT Establishing a program for Transshipment by Large-scale Longline Fishing Vessels [Rec. 05-06] and the Recommendation by ICCAT Establishing a Program for Transshipment [Rec. 06-11], the Secretariat should implement a database of the carrier vessels authorized to receive tunas in the ICCAT Convention area from large-scale longliners.

A.4.1 Parties concerned All the Contracting Parties and Cooperating non-Contracting Parties, Entities or Fishing Entities that authorize their carrier vessels to receive transshipments from large-scale longliners in the ICCAT Convention area.

6

A.4.2 Deadline date Changes affecting the information relative to the list of carrier vessels authorized to receive transshipments should be submitted to the Secretariat as soon as they occur. A.4.3 Form There are two forms for the submission of information to the Secretariat concerning this requirement. The first form is for submitting the list of carrier vessels authorized to receive the transshipments (COMP-002-VESS-TC) whereas the second form is to record the transshipment declaration (COMP-019-TS-DEC). A.4.4 Instructions and guidelines In order to ensure the correct entry of the information in the Secretariat databases, the submission of data in electronic files (MS.Excel or MS.Access) is recommended. In completing the form COMP-002-VESS-TC, it is essential to ensure the inclusion of mandatory information (flag, vessel name and registration number, previous name and flag, international radio call sign, type of vessel, names and addresses of the boat owners and operators). A.5 Submission of the list of vessels that fish for, provide, or transfer bluefin tuna for farming purposes In accordance with the Recommendation by ICCAT to Amend the Recommendation on Bluefin Tuna Farming [Rec. 05-04] and the Recommendation by ICCAT on Bluefin Tuna Farming [Rec. 06-07], the Contracting Parties and Cooperating non-Contracting Parties, Entities or Fishing Entities should transmit to the Secretariat a list of vessels that fish for, transport or provide bluefin tuna for farming purposes. A.5.1 Parties concerned All the Contracting Parties and Cooperating non-Contracting Parties, Entities or Fishing Entities whose flag vessels fish for or transfer bluefin tuna to cages.

A.5.2 Deadline date Changes affecting the information relative to the list of vessels that fish for, provide, or transfer bluefin tuna for farming purposes should be submitted to the Secretariat as soon as they occur. A.5.3 Form The form for the submission of this information is COMP-004-VESS-BFT.XLS. This form is based on that of the list of vessels over 24 meters. A.5.4 Instructions and guidelines The submission of the positive list (vessels over 24 meters authorized to fish in the Convention area) does not exempt the Parties concerned from submitting this list. In order to avoid duplication of information already submitted on the positive list, simply indicate the ICCAT vessel identification number. In the case where the vessel is not included on the positive list, all the information should be completed on the form. A.6 List of vessels authorized to fish eastern bluefin tuna

In accordance with the control measures defined in the Recommendation by ICCAT to Establish a Multi-Annual Recovery Plan for Bluefin Tuna in the Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean [Rec. 06-05], the Commission should maintain a database of the vessels authorized to fish bluefin tuna in the eastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean. A.6.1 Parties concerned All the Contracting Parties and Cooperating non-Contracting Parties, Entities or Fishing Entities that have vessels authorized to fish bluefin tuna in the eastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean.

7

A.6.2 Deadline date Changes affecting the information relative to the list of vessels that fish for eastern bluefin tuna should be submitted to the Secretariat as soon as they occur. A.6.3 Form The form for the submission of this information is COMP-020-VESS-EBFTfish. A.6.4 Instructions and guidelines The procedures and instructions for the submission of vessels over 24 meters also apply to this list. Any fishing vessel that is not included in this database and targets eastern bluefin tuna may be considered by the Commission as having carried out activities in contravention of the ICCAT management measures. B. Information on the list of chartered vessels B.1 Submission of information on vessel chartering

For purposes of clarification and in order to assist in better understanding this management measure, the following definitions have been used in this Manual:

– Charterer: Party, Entity or Fishing Entity that hires a vessel. – Flag CPC: Party, Entity or Fishing Entity to which the vessel is registered.

In accordance with the Recommendation by ICCAT on Vessel Chartering [Rec. 02-21]:

• The chartering nations should be ICCAT Contracting Parties. • All the Parties, Entities or Fishing Entities applying the ICCAT conservation and management

measures can be owner parties. • The catches made are deductible from the chartering Contracting Party’s quota. • At the time the chartering arrangement is made:

1. COMP-001-VESS-24 2. COMP-002-VESS-TSC 3. COMP-003-VESS-ALB 4. COMP-004-VESS-BFT 5. COMP-020-VESS-EBFTfish.xls

All forms retain a format which is almost identical, the exceptions being COMP-001-VESS-24, which allows for the submission of additional optional information on vessel characteristics to take account of the FAO Agreement to Promote Compliance with International Conservation and Management Measures by Fishing Vessels on the High Seas, and COMP-002-VESS-TSC, which replaces the gear type field with a field for carrying capacity of the vessel.

For those who wish to include vessels on the lists of carrier vessels, bluefin farming vessels, eastern bluefin tuna fishing vessels or albacore vessels which are already entered in one of the other ICCAT Records of vessels, it is not necessary to repeat all the information, but can be included on these lists by filling in the ICCAT List Number on the relevant form, and in the case of transhipment vessels adding the carrying capacity in the relevant field (column L in the excel file).

All fields must be completed for carrier vessels, bluefin tuna farming vessels, and bluefin tuna fishing vessels, as the forms contain only the information stipulated in the Recommendation.

The Recommendation by ICCAT concerning the limitation of fishing capacity on northern albacore [Rec. 98-08] does not specify the information to be submitted, and the number of fields to be completed is at the discretion of each Contracting Party and Cooperating non-Contracting Party, Entity or Fishing Entity in accordance with their domestic legislation and confidentiality criteria. It would be appreciated, nonetheless, if form COMP-003-VESS-ALB were used for submitting these lists, leaving blank fields as necessary.

1 Those Contracting Parties or non-Contracting Parties, Entities or Fishing Entities which have a large number of vessels in the Atlantic Ocean and which have difficulty in adapting their current data base structure to these forms are requested to contact the Secretariat to develop a customised reporting format, which contains the same information but which may be adapted to the constraints of individual data bases or structures.

Page 11 of 54

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMISSION OF LISTS OF VESSELS TO ICCAT

The new structure of the data base requires that all the information required by the relevant Recommendations be provided. Failure to complete all the necessary fields may result in your submission being rejected by the system and the Secretariat being unable to publish your registered vessels on the ICCAT web site in a timely manner.

The Secretariat has developed forms for the submission of the information, and the cooperation of all Contracting Parties and Cooperating non-Contracting Parties Entities or Fishing Entities is requested by completing the form electronically where possible.

Those Contracting Parties or non-Contracting Parties, Entities or Fishing Entities which have a large number of vessels in the Atlantic Ocean and which have difficulty in adapting their current data base structure to this form are requested to contact the Secretariat to develop a customised reporting format, which contains the same information but which may be adapted to the constraints of individual data bases or structures.

Please note that submission of vessel lists or modifications to such lists will only be accepted from authorised government agencies of Contracting Parties or non-Contracting Parties, Entities or Fishing Entities.

Submitting new vessels

An explanation of the information required is attached, together with the codes for the ISSFG and ISSFV fields.

1. Excel file: If using the Excel file, one row should be used for each vessel, and one cell for each heading. If there is insufficient space in a given cell, please widen the column as necessary. Do NOT add or delete columns on the form. Please fill in the columns in the order in which they appear in the format.

If the column / field is irrelevant for a particular vessel, e.g. there is no previous flag, please note n/a in that cell. If the column is relevant but no information is available, please note no info in that cell.

2. Manual: If a manual submission is being made, please complete one line for each vessel.

Submitting changes to vessels already included in the Records.

When submitting changes to the information in respect of a vessel which has already been entered in the ICCAT Record, please cite the ICCAT List Number. This number can be found on the ICCAT web site in the download file (note: all list numbers will begin with AT).

Changes may be submitted either by completing the form the appropriate form (see previous page) inrespect of those vessels which require modification and indicating the changes by shading, or by completing only those fields to be changed. If preferred, a copy of the Excel file downladed from the web page, with the changes clearly marked, may be submitted.

Those who prefer to re-submit the entire list of vessels including the changes for replacement in the ICCAT Record, must ensure that the ICCAT List numbers have been correctly cited.

Please note ICCAT conservation and management measures require reporting by semester Reporting Flag = Flag of party, entity or fishing entity making the report. Normally, this should coincide with the Import flag (see below) Species = The species for which imports are being reported. Please send a separate report for each species; BET (bigeye tuna); BFT (bluefin tuna) SWO (swordfish)

REPORTING SECTION Import flag (Reporting flag) = For statistical document reports, import flag should normally be the same as reporting flag. If possible, please use the standard alpha codes, as shown in the worksheet “codes” attached to the form. However, Contracting Parties comprising more than one sovereign state (e.g. EC) or more than one territory (e.g. UKOT) may indicate their Contracting Party name as reporting flag, but import flags should be separated, as in the example below: Example: Reporting Flag = EC; Import Flag = EC.ESP (Spain) Fishing flag = flag of the country, entity or fishing entity which caught the fish, except in the case of chartered vessels where the vessel is under the management of the chartering nation. In this case, the chartering nation’s flag should be entered. Standard alpha codes should be used where possible. Fishing Area = Please use the area codes shown in the worksheet “codes” attached to the form. Fishing Gear = Please use ICCAT gear codes (shown in the worksheet “codes” attached to the form). These codes are the same as those used for reporting statistical data to ICCAT and are also available on: http://www.iccat.int/Stat_Codes.htm Point of Export = Point from which the fish were exported. Where possible, it would be appreciated if standard international port codes (available on the ICCAT web site web site at http://www.iccat.int/Forms/BFT_Ports_EC.xls for EC Member States and http://www.iccat.int/Forms/BFT_Ports_Other.xls for other Contracting Parties could be used. If not, please enter the name of the port or city and the country. Product type = Fresh, frozen or live. Please use the codes shown in the worksheet “codes” attached to the form.

HEADER SECTION Year = Indicate the year to which the data pertain. Period = First semester (1- January – 30 June) or Second semester (1 July – 31 December) of the year to which data pertain. Please note ICCAT conservation and management measures require reporting by semester. Reporting Flag = Flag of party, entity or fishing entity making the report. Normally, this should coincide with the final Import flag (see below) Species = The species for which imports are being reported. Please send a separate report for each species; BET (bigeye tuna); BFT (bluefin tuna) SWO (swordfish)

REPORTING SECTION Fishing flag = flag of the country, entity or fishing entity which caught the fish, except in the case of chartered vessels where the vessel is under the management of the chartering nation. In this case, the chartering nation’s flag should be entered. Final Import flag (Reporting flag) = Final import flag refers to the latest importer at the time the report is being made (even though it may be again re-exported later), and not to future destinations, for which reason Final import flag should normally be the same as reporting flag. However, Contracting Parties comprising more than one sovereign state (e.g. EC) or more than one territory (e.g. UKOT) may indicate their Contracting Party name as reporting flag, but import flags should be separated, as in the example below: E Example: Reporting Flag = EC; Import Flag = EC.ESP (Spain) Intermediate imports = as tuna may have been through several destinations before reaching the final import destination, columns have been provided for up to three importers before final. Additional columns may be added if necessary. 1st import flag = Re-export certificate reports are only submitted where there has been an intermediate import between first import and reporting country, entity and fishing entity. First import flag should be that which made the first import of the fish after the catch. (The re-export certificate received by the CPC should have a copy of the original statistical document attached, showing fishing flag and (first) import flag.) 2nd import flag = second import flag, where an intermediate country has received a re-export. (See example below) (In this case, the Re-export certificate should have a copy of the original statistical document and the first re-export certificate attached.) 3rd import flag = As for second import flag, except copies of the previous two re-export certificates should be attached on receipt by the reporting CPC.

Example: Country A imports fish from country B. Country B originally imported the fish from country C which in turn imported the fish from country D, who caught the fish.

Final importer (reporting flag) = A, 1st import flag= B, 2nd import flag = C; fishing flag = D Last Point of Export = Point from which the fish were exported when imported by the flag reporting. Where possible, it would be appreciated if standard international port codes (available on the ICCAT web site at http://www.iccat.int/Forms/BFT_Ports_EC.xls for EC Member States and http://www.iccat.int/Forms/BFT_Ports_Other.xls for other Contracting Parties could be used. If not, please enter the name of the port or city and the country. Product type = Fresh or frozen Product shape = Please use the codes in the worksheet “codes” attached to the form. If the product shape is not included in the codes please mark “OT” (other) and specify. Qty-Kg = Enter the quantity, in kilograms, of the fish / fish product imported Statistical Doc. Number = This is the number assigned by the first exporting party to the statistical document which accompanied the shipment, and which appears on the top left hand side of the original document. This field is currently optional, but has been requested on many occasions by the SCRS.
