Conversion factors

The EU system for fisheries controls

The Commission implementing regulation (EU) No 404/2011 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the Common Fisheries Policy establishes fresh and fresh salted European Union conversion factors and presentation codes for processed fish, to convert fish processed weight into fish live weight for the propose of monitoring catches.

This Regulation shall apply to fishery products on board or landed or transhipped by Community fishing vessels and by third country vessels fishing in European Union waters.

In situations where Regional Fisheries Management Organisations, of which the European Community is a Contracting party or cooperating non Contracting party, or regions or coastal areas where the European Community has an agreement to fish in third country waters, have defined regional conversion factors, those factors shall apply.

In case where no Community or regional conversion factors exist for a given species and presentation, the conversion factor (CF) adopted by the flag Member State shall apply.

I would like to thank the Austrian Presidency for their work in facilitating a compromise. Today, we have adopted important decisions on deep sea stocks. As you know, these are very vulnerable species that need decades to grow and reproduce. We often have incomplete knowledge about these stocks. But we know one thing for certain: many of these stocks have been overfished for years.
