Article 2The data referred to in Article 1 shall be submitted to the Commission within six months of the end of the month covered.
Article 31.The fishery products for which data submissions are required under Article 1 are listed in Annex I. However Member States may submit data for additional individually identified fishery products.The data for products of minor importance in a Member State need not be individually identified in the submissions but may be included in an aggregated item provided that the weight of the products thus recorded does not exceed 10 % by weight of the total landings in that Member State in that month.2.Definitions to be used for the units of weight and average price, the destination and presentation of the products are given in Annex II.3.The list of products in Annex I and the definitions in Annex II may be amended in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 6.

They are generally presented whole or gutted.Salted fish are fish often in gutted and headed form, that are preserved in salt or brine.Nationality and coverageThe data are to include all products landed by Community and EFTA fishing vessels in ports of the reporting Member State.
