ANNEX I


VARIABLES AND DEFINITIONS

1. STATISTICAL VARIABLES

(a) Cargo and passenger information:

- gross weight of goods in tonnes,

- type of cargo, according to the nomenclature shown in Annex II,

- description of the goods, using the nomenclature shown in Annex III,

- reporting port,

- direction of movement, whether inwards or outwards,

- for inward cargo: the port of loading (i. e. the port in which the cargo was loaded on to the ship in which it arrived in the reporting port) using individual ports in the European Economic Area (EEA) shown in the port list, and the maritime coastal areas outside the EEA, shown in Annex IV,

- for outward cargo: the port of unloading (i. e. the port in which the cargo is to be unloaded from the ship in which it left the reporting port) using individual ports in the EEA shown in the port list, and the maritime coastal areas outside the EEA, shown in Annex IV,

- number of passengers starting or finishing a voyage.

For goods carried in containers or ro-ro units, the following additional particulars shall be provided:

- number of containers with cargo,

- number of containers without cargo,

- number of mobile (ro-ro) units with cargo,

- number of mobile (ro-ro) units without cargo.

(b) Information on the vessel:

- number of vessels,

- deadweight of vessels or gross tonnage,

- country or territory of registration of vessels, using the nomenclature shown in Annex V,

- type of vessels, using the nomenclature shown in Annex VI,

- size of vessels, using the nomenclature shown in Annex VII.

2. DEFINITIONS

(a) 'Freight container' means an article of transport equipment:

1. of a permanent nature and accordingly strong enough to be suitable for repeated use;

2. specially designed to facilitate the carriage of goods by one or more modes of transport, without intermediate reloading;

3. fitted with devices permitting its ready handling, particularly its transfer from one mode of transport to another;

4. so designed as to be easy to fill and empty;

5. having a length of 20′ or more.

(b) 'Ro-ro unit' means wheeled equipment for carrying cargo, such as a truck, trailer or semi-trailer, which can be driven or towed on to a vessel. Port or ships' trailers are included in this definition. Classifications should follow United Nations ECE Recommendation No 21 'Codes for types of cargo, packages and packaging materials'.

(c) 'Container cargo' means containers with or without cargo which are lifted on or off the vessels which carry them by sea.

(d) 'Ro-ro cargo' means goods, whether or not in containers, on ro-ro units, and ro-ro units which are rolled on and off the vessels which carry them by sea.

(e) 'Gross weight of goods' means the tonnage of goods carried, including packaging but excluding the tare weight of containers or ro-ro units.

(f) 'Deadweight (DWT)' means the difference in tonnes between the displacement of a ship on summer load-line in water with a specific gravity of 1,025 and the total weight of the ship, i. e. the displacement in tonnes of a ship without cargo, fuel, lubricating oil, ballast water, fresh water and drinking water in the tanks, usable supplies as well as passengers, crew and their possessions.

(g) 'Gross tonnage' means the measure of the overall size of a ship determined in accordance with the provisions of the International Convention on Tonnage Measurement of Ships, 1969.

ANNEX IV


MARITIME COASTAL AREAS

The nomenclature to be used is the Geonomenclature, approved for 1993 by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 208/93 of 1 February 1993 on the country nomenclature for the external trade statistics of the Community and statistics of trade between Member States (1), with the following exception: codes 017 and 018 are to be used for Belgium and Luxembourg respectively whenever they are to be considered separately.

The code consists of four digits: the three-digit code from the abovementioned nomenclature, followed by a zero (e.g. code 0030 for Netherlands), except for countries which are divided into two or more maritime coastal areas, which are identified by a fourth digit other than zero (from 1 to 7), as below:

ANNEX V


NATIONALITY OF REGISTRATION OF VESSELS

The nomenclature to be used is the Geonomenclature, approved for 1993 by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 208/93 of 1 February 1993 on the country nomenclature for the external trade statistics of the Community and statistics of trade between Member States (1) with the following exception: codes 017 and 018 are to be used for Belgium and Luxembourg respectively whenever they are to be considered separately.

The code consists of four digits: the three-digit code from the abovementioned nomenclature, followed by a zero (e. g. code 0010 for France), except for countries with more than one register.

Where more than one register exists, the countries are to be coded as follows:

ANNEX VIII


STRUCTURE FOR STATISTICAL DATA SETS

The data sets specified in this Annex define the periodicity for the maritime transport statistics required by the Community. Each data set defines a cross classification of a limited set of dimensions at different levels of the nomenclatures, aggregated across all other dimensions, for which statistics of good quality are required.

The conditions for collecting data set B1 will be decided by the Council on a proposal from the Commission in the light of the results of the pilot study during a three-year transitional period as defined in Article 10 of this Directive.

SUMMARY AND DETAILED STATISTICS

* The data sets to be provided for selected ports for goods and passengers are A1, A2, B1, C1, D1, E1 and F1.

* The data sets to be provided for selected ports for goods but not for passengers are A1, A2, A3, B1, C1, E1 and F1.

* The data sets to be provided for selected ports for passengers but not for goods are A3, D1 and F1.

* The data set to be provided for ports which are not selected is A3.
