fixed track record system Explanation: This is in answer to “… but I'm just wondering if anyone else has come across an equivalent or similar term in English.” This is the closest concept I could find in English. 1999 - UK - Fixed track record system inaugurated for allocating quotas http://www.fao.org/docrep/003/x8985e/x8985e05.htm Quota Management in the UK National quotas obtained by the UK following December Council meetings are allocated to groups of vessels and producers' organisations on the basis of FQA (Fixed Quota Allocation) units. These are based on vessels' historic catches during a fixed reference period. http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld200708/ldselect/l... During the first years of the European TAC, the distribution of quotas was based on the fishing pattern of the vessels. This was determined on the basis of the landings of the vessel during the previous years, called the track record of the vessel. The track record was calculated as a rolling average of the landings of the previous three years. The figure therefore needed to be recalculated every year. The quotas were allocated on the basis of this changing track record. This system had many disadvantages. Firstly, it involved continuous recalculation of the rolling average. Secondly, it encouraged falsification of the landing records. Some fishermen were tempted to report fictitious landings of desirable species so as to build up a track record for these fish; we call these ghost landings. For all these reasons, the system of track records was abandoned in favour of a fixed reference period. Fixed Quota Allocation (FQA) Since 1998, the calculation of the reference period has been simplified. Instead of using a rolling average, the entitlement of a vessel is calculated on the basis of a fixed reference period. The landings during the period 1994 to 1996 are used to decide a vessel’s entitlement once and for all. The resulting share in the national quotas is called a Fixed Quota Allocation, or in short FQA. http://edz.bib.uni-mannheim.de/daten/edz-ma/ep/03/fish111_en... This document also describes the French system in English. Some quota allocation systems were initially based on rolling reference periods, but these often resulted in strategic fishing activities in an attempt to maximise the proportion of quota received in subsequent years. As a result, rolling reference periods have generally undergone a move to fixed reference periods (e.g. France and UK). The allocation of fishing rights in France provides an interesting example of how a combination of factors can be used to allocate rights when licences to fish are renewed. For national licences, special fishing permits and community quota, the initial allocation is based on the three national criteria: historical track records; socio-economic equilibrium; and market orientation. In summary: 1) Track record of each PO member vessel — equals the average of reference landings for the years 2001, 2002 and 2003. The amount can be reduced if the PO over-fished its quotas the previous year and increased if the PO concluded an exchange of quotas with another PO. Prior to 2006, the quota reference was a sliding three-year average, but this encouraged opportunistic behaviour by fishers in an attempt to increase their track record and speculation on quota. The fixed reference point was adopted to discourage such behaviour. 2) Market orientation — in relation to the market and to maximise the value of landings, the Minister can fix a periodic limit of capture or landings per PO, vessel, or group of vessels. 3) Socio-economic equilibrium — the Minister may allocate quotas by establishing specific access criteria to a fishery for socioeconomic reasons. The access criteria can be related to a métier, gear, region, fishing area or landing site. http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download;jsessionid=616... OVERVIEW OF CURRENT ALLOCATION SCHEMES The more common feature driving worldwide allocation systems is the historic record of catches. This normally forms the basis for allocation and it may be weighted in different ways. Of crucial importance is the reference period; i.e. its length – or duration - and whether it is a fixed or rolling reference period. http://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/STUD/2015/54035... See also for reference and comparison: Arrêté du 26 décembre 2006 établissant les modalités de répartition et de gestion collective des possibilités de pêche (quotas de captures et quotas d'effort de pêche) des navires français immatriculés dans la Communauté européenne Définitions. - antériorités : références historiques se rapportant à l'activité de pêche maritime ou procédant d'échanges réalisés par une OP à une date donnée. Elles sont établies à partir des données déclarées par les capitaines des navires de pêche conformément aux réglementations communautaires et nationales, en application de l'article 3 du présent arrêté. Elles constituent une méthode de calcul permettant de procéder à la répartition des quotas et non un droit permettant de revendiquer ces quotas ; http://legifrance.gouv.fr/affichTexte.do?cidTexte=JORFTEXT00... b) La répartition des quotas en France Le système des antériorités figées 24. Les quotas de l’Union attribués à la France sont répartis annuellement par arrêté en sous-quotas entre les OP et les hors OP. En vertu du III de l’article R. 921-35 du code rural, les sous-quotas sont répartis en tenant compte de trois critères non priorisés par le texte : - les antériorités de capture des producteurs qui, sauf exception14, sont celles des années 2001, 2002 et 2003, critère, dans les faits, prioritaire ; - l’orientation du marché ; - les équilibres socio-économiques. 25. Le critère des antériorités figées fonctionne de la façon suivante : pour les OP, leur part respective est déterminée d’après la part représentée par la somme des antériorités de capture de leurs membres au 1er janvier de l’année n pour les années 2001, 2002 et 2003 sur l’ensemble des antériorités de ces trois années-là. 27. Le système des antériorités figées a été mis en place par l’arrêté du 26 décembre 2006. Précédemment, les quotas français étaient répartis en sous-quotas sur la base d’antériorités glissantes des années « n-1 » à « n-3 ». L’administration recalculait ainsi tous les ans les clés de répartition. http://www.autoritedelaconcurrence.fr/pdf/avis/15a19.pdf Quotas : une question d'antériorité L'antériorité, le terme est apparu en 2004 lorsque l'État a mis en place les quotas de pêche par organisations professionnelles (OP). Elle a été conçue pour pouvoir modifier les clés de répartition des quotas lorsqu'un bateau quitte une OP pour une autre. Elle permet de gérer la mobilité d'un navire au sein d'une flotte. « L'activité de chaque navire a été photographiée durant les années 2001, 2002, 2003 et leurs parts de quotas ont été en quelque sorte figées », explique Thierry Guigue, de Pêcheurs de Bretagne, 800 navires. http://lautregrenelledelamer.over-blog.com/tag/ressource/4 |

previous average catch (from 2001-2003) Explanation: This is the expression you come across in the context of the fishing industry. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day7 hrs (2015-12-18 18:33:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/docserver/download/5ks5dlrs51vl... "Historical catches provide the basis for allocations in most of the RFMOs, or participation in the fishery in the cases of IATTC and CCAMLR. This reflects the fact that, historically, a “fair” basis for allocation has often been regarded as zonal attachment to the stock or historical catch records of the coastal States and DWFNs. Historical catch is also easy to quantify objectively |
