6. ANNEX III.A TO THE CEM, AS REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 13(1) OF REGULATION (EU) 2019/833 Mesh Measurements and Gauges (1) Description of mesh gauges (a) A mesh gauge to be used for determining mesh sizes shall be 2 mm thick, flat, of durable material and non-deformable. It shall be designed either as a number of parallel-edged sides connected by tapering edges with a taper of 1:8 on each side or only tapering edges with the taper defined above. The mesh gauge shall have a hole at the narrowest extremity. (b) The face of the mesh gauge shall be inscribed with the width in millimetres both on the parallel-sided section, if this design is used and on the tapering section. In the case of the latter, the width shall be inscribed for every interval of 1mm and the width shall be indicated at regular intervals. (2) Use of the mesh gauge (a) The net shall be kept stretched so that the meshes are stretched in the direction of the long diagonal. (b) The tapered end of the mesh gauge described in point 1 shall be inserted into the mesh opening in a direction perpendicular to the netting along the long axis of the net.

(c) The gauge shall be inserted into the mesh opening either manually or using a weight until the mesh gauge is stopped by the resistance of the mesh at the tapering edges. (3) Selection of meshes for measuring (a) The meshes to be measured shall form a series of 20 consecutive meshes selected in the direction of the long axis of the net. (b) Meshes positioned less than 50 cm from lacings, ropes and codlines shall not be measured. This distance shall be measured perpendicular to the lacings, the ropes or the codline with the net stretched in the direction of measuring. Any mesh that has been mended or torn or to which attachments to the net are fixed shall not be measured. (c) By way of derogation from 3(a), the meshes to be measured need not be consecutive if this is prevented by the application of 3(b). (d) Nets shall be measured only when wet and non-frozen. (4) Sizes of individual meshes (a) The size of a mesh shall be equal to the width of the gauge inscribed at the point where the gauge is stopped when used in accordance with point 2. (b) The sides of a mesh shall be accepted as being of the same length if, when measured, the two knots that keep the mesh together in the lateral direction appear to be off the centre of the mesh gauging device. (5) Determination of the mesh size of a net (a) The mesh size of a net shall be expressed in mm as the average of the sizes of the total number of meshes selected and measured according to points 3 and 4. The average value shall be rounded up to the next full number of millimetres. (b) The total number of meshes to be measured is specified in point 6. (6) Mesh gauging procedure (a) Only meshes which have 4 sides, equally long, of the same material, and 4 permanent joints or knots are permitted. (b) Mesh size shall be calculated by averaging: in respect of the codend of a net, including any lengthener(s), the measurements, in millimetres, of any 20 consecutive meshes running parallel to the long axis of the codend, beginning at the after end of the codend, and at least 10 meshes from the lacings, and in respect of any part of a net, the measurements, in millimetres, of any 20 consecutive meshes that are at least 10 meshes from the lacings.

(c) the width of this netting shall be at least one and a half times the width of the area of the codend which is covered, such widths to be measured at right angles to the long axis of the codend. Legend: Topside chafing gear (netting only permitted) must be 1 ½ times width of top of codend Attached not less than 4 meshes ahead of codline mesh Codline Chafing gear: Any material may be used to protect the bottom of codend Nothing permitted to cover forward part of net May not be attached more than 4 meshes ahead of splitting strap To headline Splitting strap (2) Multiple flap-type topside chafer The multiple flap-type topside chafer is defined as pieces of netting having in all their parts meshes the size of which, whether the pieces of netting are wet or dry, is not less than that of the codend, provided that: (i) each piece of netting (a) is fastened by its forward edge only across the codened at right angles to its long axis; (b) is of a width of at least the width of the codend (such width being measured at right angles to the long axis of the codend at the point of attachment); and (c) is not more than ten meshes long; and (ii) the aggregate length of all the pieces of netting so attached does not exceed two-thirds of the length of the codend. Legend: Flap chafers Mouth of net Codend Topside of codend Underside of codend Flap chafers attached by leading edge only (3) Shrimp Trawl — Codend Strengthening Bag, for vessels directing for shrimp in the NRA A strengthening bag is defined as an outer covering of netting that can be used on a shrimp trawl to protect and provide strength to the codend of the shrimp trawl. (a) Vessels shall not use a strengthening bag of which the mesh size is less than 130 millimetres. (b) The strengthening bag shall not extend forward of the sorting grids or grates or obstruct the sorting grids or grates in any way. (c) A strengthening bag shall not be attached in any way that restricts the authorized mesh or obstructs the mesh opening. (d) Vessels shall not use a strengthening bag with any other top-side chafers simultaneously.

(2) General Provisions (a) The Executive Secretary and the appropriate authorities of Contracting Parties transmitting and receiving reports and messages shall take all necessary measures to comply with the security and confidentiality provisions set out in sections 3 and 4. (b) The Executive Secretary informs all Contracting Parties of the measures taken in the Secretariat to comply with these security and confidentiality provisions. (c) The Executive Secretary takes all the necessary steps to ensure that the requirements pertaining to the deletion of reports and messages handled by the Secretariat are complied with. (d) Member States shall guarantee the Executive Secretary the right to obtain as appropriate, the rectification of reports and messages or the erasure of reports and messages the processing of which does not comply with the provisions of the CEM.

(e) Notwithstanding the provisions in Article 29.10(b)-(d) of the CEM, the NAFO Commission may instruct the Executive Secretary not to make available the reports and messages received under Article 28 and 29 of the CEM to a Contracting Party where it is established that the Member State in question has not complied with these security and confidentiality provisions. (3) Provisions on Confidentiality (a) Reports and messages shall be used only for the purposes stipulated in the CEM. No report or message referred to in section 1 shall be kept in a computer database at the Secretariat unless explicitly provided for in the CEM. (b) Each inspecting Member State shall make available reports and messages only to their means of inspection and their inspectors assigned to the Scheme of Joint International Inspection and Surveillance. Reports and messages shall be transmitted to the inspection platforms and inspectors not more than 48 hours prior to entry into the Regulatory Area. (c) The Executive Secretary deletes all the original reports and messages referred to in section 1 from the database at the Secretariat by the end of the first calendar month following the year in which the reports and messages have originated. Thereafter the information related to the catch and movement of the fishing vessels shall only be retained by the Executive Secretary, after measures have been taken to ensure that the identity of the individual vessels can no longer be established. (d) The Executive Secretary does not make available reports and messages to other parties than those specified explicitly in Article 29.10(b)-(d) of the CEM. (e) Inspecting Member State may retain and store reports and messages transmitted by the Secretary until 24 hours after the vessels to which the reports and messages pertain have departed from the Regulatory Area without re-entry. Departure is deemed to have been effected six hours after the transmission of the intention to exit from the Regulatory Area. (4) Provisions on security (a) Overview Inspecting Member State, the Commission (or the body designated by the Commission) and the Secretariat shall ensure the secure treatment of reports and messages in their respective electronic data processing facilities, in particular where the processing involves transmission over a network. Member State, the Commission (or the body designated by the Commission), and the Secretariat must implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect reports and messages against accidental or unlawful destruction or accidental loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure or access, and against all inappropriate forms of processing. The following security issues must be addressed from the outset: System access control: The system has to withstand a break-in attempt from unauthorized persons. Authenticity and data access control: The system has to be able to limit the access of authorized parties to a predefined set of data only. Communication security:

It shall be guaranteed that reports and messages are securely communicated. Data security: It has to be guaranteed that all reports and messages that enter the system are securely stored for the required time and that they will not be tampered with. Security procedures: Security procedures shall be designed addressing access to the system (both hardware and software), system administration and maintenance, backup and general usage of the system. Having regard to the state of the art and the cost of their implementation, such measures shall ensure a level of security appropriate to the risks represented by the processing of the reports and the messages. Security measures are described in more detail in the following paragraphs. (b) System Access Control For their main computer systems the Member State and the Secretariat shall aim to meet the criteria of a C2-level trusted system, (as described in Section 2.2 of the U.S. Department of Defence Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria (TCSEC), DOD 5200.28-STD, December 1985). The following features are some of the ones provided by a C2-level trusted system: A stringent password and authentication system. Each user of the system is assigned a unique user identification and associated password. Each time the user logs on to the system he/she has to provide the correct password. Even when successfully logged on the user only has access to those and only those functions and data that he/she is configured to have access to. Only a privileged user has access to all the data. Physical access to the computer system is controlled. Auditing; selective recording of events for analysis and detection of security breaches. Time-based access control; access to the system can be specified in terms of times-of-day and days-of-week that each user is allowed to login to the system. Terminal access control; specifying for each workstation which users are allowed to access. (c) Authenticity and Data Access Security Data exchange protocols for electronic transmission of reports and messages between Member State, the NAFO Commission and the Secretariat shall be duly tested by the Secretariat and approved by the NAFO Commission. Electronic transmission is subject to security procedures laid down in this Annex. (d) Communication Security Appropriate encryption protocols duly tested by the Secretariat and approved by the NAFO Commission shall be applied to ensure confidentiality and authenticity. Key management policy shall be in place to support the use of cryptographic techniques. In particular, the integrity of the PKI (public key infrastructure) will be guaranteed by ensuring that digital certificates correctly identify and validate the party submitting the information. (e) Data Security Access limitation to the data shall be secured via a flexible user identification and password mechanism. Each user shall be given access only to the data necessary for his task. (f) Security Procedures Each Member State, the Commission (and body designated by the Commission) and the Executive Secretary shall nominate a security system administrator. The security system administrator shall review the log files generated by the software, properly maintain the system security, restrict access to the system as deemed needed and act as a liaison with the Secretariat in order to solve security matters.

ANNEX IV.H TO THE CEM ON INSPECTIONS, AS REFERRED TO IN ARTICLE 39(11) OF REGULATION (EU) 2019/833 Principles for Inspections Inspectors shall: (a) verify, to the extent possible, that the vessel identification documentation on board and information relating to the owner of the vessel is true, complete and correct, including through appropriate contacts with the flag State or international records of vessels if necessary;

(b) verify that the vessel’s flag and markings (e.g. name, external registration number, International Maritime Organization (IMO) ship identification number, international radio call sign and other markings, main dimensions) are consistent with information contained in the documentation; (c) review all other relevant documentation and records held onboard, including, to the extent possible, those in electronic format and vessel monitoring system (VMS) data from the flag State or RFMOs. Relevant documentation may include logbooks, catch, transhipment and trade documents, data collected by the observer on board, crew lists, stowage plans and drawings, descriptions of fish holds, and documents required pursuant to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora; (d) verify, to the extent possible, that the authorizations for fishing activities are true, complete, correct and consistent with the information provided in accordance with the CEM provisions including, but not limited to, Articles 25, 44, 45 and 51 of the CEM; (e) determine, to the extent possible, whether any fishery resources on board were harvested in accordance with applicable authorizations for the vessel; (f) examine any fishery resources on board the vessel, including by sampling, to determine its quantity and composition. In doing so, inspectors may open containers where the fishery resources have been pre-packed and move the catch or containers to ascertain the integrity of fish holds. Such examination may include inspections of product type and determination of nominal weight; (g) examine, to the extent possible, all relevant fishing gear onboard, including any gear stowed out of sight as well as related devices, and to the extent possible, verify that they are in conformity with the conditions of the authorizations. The fishing gear shall, to the extent possible, also be checked to ensure that features such as the mesh and twine size, devices and attachments, dimensions and configuration of nets, pots, dredges, hook sizes and numbers are in conformity with applicable regulations and that the markings correspond to those authorized for the vessel; (h) evaluate whether there is clear evidence for believing that a non-Contracting Party vessel has engaged in IUU fishing activities; and (i) arrange, where necessary and possible, for translation of relevant documentation. Additionally inspections shall be conducted in a fair, transparent and non-discriminatory manner and shall not constitute harassment of any vessel. Inspectors shall not interfere with the Master’s ability to communicate with the authorities of the flag State Contracting Party or the flag Member State.
