TRANSITION TO ERS Clause Samples
The "Transition to ERS" clause outlines the process and requirements for moving from a current system or service to an Enterprise Resource System (ERS). Typically, this clause details the steps, timelines, and responsibilities for both parties during the transition, such as data migration, staff training, and system integration. Its core function is to ensure a smooth and coordinated shift to the ERS, minimizing disruptions and clarifying expectations to prevent operational issues during the changeover.
TRANSITION TO ERS. 1. The Parties shall ensure a transition to an electronic system for declaring catches as early as possible after the commencement of the provisional application of this Protocol, at a date to be agreed by the Joint Committee. Once it is the case, the modalities for the declaration of catches shall be as follows:
(a) the master of a Union vessel carrying out fishing activities under the Agreement shall keep an electronic fishing logbook integrated into an Electronic Recording and Reporting system (ERS);
(b) a Union vessel not equipped with an ERS shall not be authorised to enter the Seychelles fishing zone for the purpose of engaging in fishing activities.
2. The master of the vessel shall be responsible for the accuracy of the data recorded in the electronic fishing logbook. The electronic fishing logbook shall comply with the relevant IOTC resolutions and recommendations.
3. Every day, the master of the vessel shall record, for each fishing operation, the estimated live weight of each species caught and kept on board or thrown back into the sea.
4. If the Union vessel is present in the Seychelles fishing zone, but does not carry out any fishing activities, the position of the vessel at noon shall be recorded.
5. The master of the vessel shall ensure that the electronic fishing logbook data is transmitted automatically and on a daily basis to the Fisheries Monitoring Centre (FMC) of the flag Member State of the Union. The transmissions shall include at least the following:
(a) the vessel identification numbers and the name of the fishing vessel;
(b) the FAO 3-alpha code of each species;
(c) the relevant geographical area (latitude and longitude) in which the catches were taken;
(d) the date and, where appropriate, the time of the catches;
(e) the date and time of departure from and arrival at the port, and the duration of the fishing trip;
(f) the type of gear, and where applicable the technical specifications and dimensions;
(g) the estimated quantities of each species kept on board, in kilograms live weight or, where appropriate, the number of individual fish;
(h) the estimated quantities of each species discarded, in kilograms live weight or, where appropriate, the number of individual fish.
6. The flag Member State of the Union shall ensure that the data are received and recorded in a computer database enabling the data to be stored securely for at least 36 months.
7. The flag Member State of the Union and Seychelles authorities shall ensure that they...
TRANSITION TO ERS. 1. The competent Seychelles authorities shall ensure a transition to an electronic system for declaring catches as early as possible after the commencement of the application of the Agreement, at a date to be determined by competent Seychelles authorities. Once it is the case, the modalities for the declaration of catches shall be as follows;
(a) the master of COMPANY fishing vessel engaged in fishing activities under the Agreement shall keep an electronic fishing logbook integrated into an Electronic and Reporting system (ERS);
(b) COMPANY fishing vessels not equipped with an ERS shall not be authorised to engage in fishing activities.
2. The master of the fishing vessel shall be responsible for the accuracy of the data recorded in the electronic fishing logbook.
3. The master of the fishing vessel shall record daily for each fishing operation, the estimated weight and processing type of species caught and kept on board or discarded.
4. When a COMPANY fishing vessel is present at sea, but does not engage in any fishing activities, the position of the vessel at noon shall be recorded in the electronic fishing logbook.
5. The master of the fishing vessel shall ensure that the electronic fishing logbook data is transmitted automatically and on a daily basis to the competent Seychelles authorities. The transmissions shall include the following:
(a) the vessel identification numbers and the name of the fishing vessel;
(b) the FAO 3-alpha code of species;
(c) the relevant geographical area (latitude and longitude) in which the catches were taken;
(d) the date and time of the catches;
(e) the date and time of departure from and arrival at the port, and the duration of the fishing trip;
(f) the type of gear, and where applicable the technical specifications and dimensions;
(g) the estimated quantities of species kept on board, weighed in kilograms, processing type or, where appropriate, the number of individual fish;
(h) the estimated quantities of species discarded, weighed in kilograms or, where appropriate, the number of individual fish.
6. COMPANY fishing vessels shall ensure that they have the necessary IT equipment and software to automatically transmit ERS data to the competent Seychelles authorities. ERS data shall be transmitted using the electronic means of communication data in a standardised form and at the cost of COMPANY fishing vessels.
7. COMPANY fishing vessels shall ensure that fishing logbooks are automatically made available by ERS to the comp...
