Recital 14
(14) Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 has been amended by Regulation (EU) 2015/812 of the Parliament and Council31 in order to align certain of its provisions to the landing obligation set in Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013. In parallel with the effectiveness of the landing obligation, the Commission should propose a selectivity plan by promoting initiatives that reduce unwanted catches in order to reduce the burden of the landing obligation. Nevertheless, in order to allow the proper control of the landing obligation, it is necessary to equip, on the basis of a risk assessment, a certain percentage of fishing vessels should be equipped with cnont-inuous recordingtrusive electronic monitoring devices including Close Circuit Televisions (CCTV). CCTV data may be supplemented by data from other electronic monitoring devices. Data from these devices, including from CCTV, will provide Member State officials with means to control compliance with the landing obligation at sea. The CCTV footage should only concern the gears, such as fishing activity sensors or catch-mass estimation systems in order to estimate the difference between the weight of the catch and the partsweight of the vessels where fishery products are brought on board, hproducts that are landled and stored. Footage from CCTV. These systems should be recordgistered locally and should be made available exclusively to Member States officials or Union inspectors upon requests, in particular in the context of inspections, investigations or audits. They are a less intrusive alternative to CCTV, and respect workers’ rights, Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council (General Data Protection Regulation)31a , Member State legislation and the European Parliament resolution of 25 October 2016 on how to make fisheries controls in Europe uniform.
