Welcome to the Joint Research Centre (JRC)
fisheries data collection web site
Here you will find all the information you need on the European Union (EU) Data Collection Framework (DCF) for the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), including:
- The latest news in relation to data calls, including variable definitions, disaggregation levels and uploading procedures
- Current DCF legislation and the previous Data Collection Regulation (DCR) legislation
- EU Member State national programmes and technical reports
- Reports and information relating to Regional Co-ordination Meetings (RCMs)

The JRC collects and maintains fisheries management data transmitted by EU Member States. The resulting datasets are assessed by teams of independent experts participating in working groups convened by the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF). The resulting scientific advice is used to inform the CFP decision making process.
