Article 3Corrections to erroneous information contained in the register shall be forwarded to the Commission within 30 days of the date on which the error is detected.

Article 4Member States shall have access without delay to data concerning the identification of vessels engaged in fishing activity in the fisheries listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 685/95 and those listed in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 779/97 under their jurisdiction or sovereignty in accordance with the procedures laid down in Annex IV hereto.

Article 5Member States shall communicate the information referred to in this Regulation to the Commission by digital transfer over a telecommunications network in accordance with the detailed rules and codes set out in Annexes I to IV. The Commission shall acknowledge receipt of messages as soon as they have been validated in the data base.

Article 6The vessels concerned by this Regulation shall be identified by the internal number recorded in the Community register of fishing vessels, as referred to in Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 2090/98.

Article 7This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.ANNEX IFISHING EFFORTDEFINITION OF DATA TO BE COMMUNICATED AND DESCRIPTION OF A RECORD
