The master of a Union fishing vessel shall report to the flag Member State all entanglements, providing the date, location and nature of the entanglement, along with any identifying information contained on the data buoy. The report shall be sent immediately by that flag Member State to the Commission. 4. Notwithstanding paragraph 1, scientific research programmes notified to and authorised by the Commission may operate Union fishing vessels within one nautical mile of a data buoy, as long as they do not interact with those data buoys in the manner referred to in paragraph 1. |
