Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/92of 21 January 2022laying down rules for the application of Directive (EU) 2019/883 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards monitoring data methodologies and the format for reporting passively fished waste(Text with EEA relevance)
Article 11.The method for the collection of data on the volume and mass of passively fished waste by the Member States shall be consistent with the Eurostat Manual on Waste Statistics.2.For fishing vessels falling within the scope of Directive 2002/59/EC, the collection of data on passively fished waste shall be based on the information provided in the advance waste notification in accordance with Article 6 of Directive (EU) 2019/883.3.For fishing vessels falling outside the scope of Directive 2002/59/EC, the collection of data on passively fished waste shall be based on one of the following methods described in the Eurostat Manual on Waste Statistics:(a)surveys;(b)administrative or other sources;(c)statistical estimation procedures;(d)a combination of the methods referred to in points (a), (b), and (c).
Article 21.Passively fished waste shall be reported in accordance with the components set out in Table 1 of the Annex.2.Passively fished waste may include abandoned, lost or otherwise discarded fishing gear, which may be reported separately from other marine litter.3.The mandatory and voluntary elements for the reporting of passively fished waste are set out in Table 2 of the Annex.4.The reporting format for passively fished waste and the method for aggregation is set out in Table 3 of the Annex.
Article 31.The amount of passively fished waste shall be reported in volume and mass.2.Where appropriate, the conversion of volume (V) to mass (m) shall be calculated with the following formula:m = pVWhere p is the estimated density of the material (kgm-3), m is mass (kg) and V is the volume (m3).
Article 4From 1 January 2024, Member States shall report the data and information for periods of two calendar years. The reports shall be provided electronically within 12 months of the end of the second year for which they were collected. The first report shall be submitted by 31 December 2026 at the latest.
Article 5This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.ANNEX
