This Recommendation of the North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC) provides a framework for the implementation of a new Electronic Reporting System (ERS) based on the FLUX UN/CEFACT Standard by NEAFC, including provisions for a transition period. An ERS Implementation Group organised under the Permanent Committee on Monitoring and Compliance (PECMAC) is established to finalise technical documentation. To improve this information management, the United Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business (UN/CEFACT) has developed an open and global standard that allows the electronic exchange of fishery data. The Fisheries Language for Universal Exchange (FLUX) provides a harmonized message standard that allows Fishery Management Organizations (FMOs) to automatically access the electronic data from fishing vessels, such as vessel and trip identification, fishing operations (daily catch or haul-by-haul) or fishing data (catch area, species and quantity, date and time, and gear used).
