THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Directive 2009/42/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 May 2009 on statistical returns in respect of carriage of goods and passengers by sea, and in particular Article 3(4) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) In the production of European statistics there should be a balance between the needs of the users and the burden on respondents.
(2) A technical analysis of the existing data collected under the Union legislation on statistical returns in respect of carriage of goods and passengers by sea, and of the dissemination policy, has been carried out at European level in order to propose possible technical solutions to simplify, as much as possible, the various activities necessary for the production of statistics, while keeping the final output in line with present and foreseeable needs of users.
(3) As a result of this analysis, the variable direction in the existing quarterly statistics on vessel traffic in the main European ports should be simplified, while the legal status (mandatory vs voluntary) of the corresponding data sets F1 and F2 should be clarified.
(4) In addition, a harmonised legal framework should be established for a voluntary collection of statistics on Ro-Ro containers. Moreover, the type of cargo classification should be extended.
(5) The nomenclature on the maritime coastal areas needs to be adapted to technical developments.
(6) Directive 2009/42/EC should therefore be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Annexes I, II, IV and VIII to Directive 2009/42/EC are replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Decision.
Article 2
This Decision shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. The first reference year for the application of this Decision shall be 2012, covering the data for 2012.
Done at Brussels, 3 February 2012. For the Commission The President José Manuel Barroso

2. Definitions
2.
(a) Freight container means an article of transport equipment:
(a)
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 ease of 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 feet 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 to 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.
(h) Cruise passenger means a sea passenger making a sea journey on a cruise ship. Passengers on day excursions are excluded.
(i) Cruise ship means a passenger ship intended to provide passengers with a full tourist experience. All passengers have cabins. Facilities for entertainment aboard are included. Ships operating normal ferry services are excluded, even if some passengers treat the service as a cruise. In addition, cargo-carrying vessels able to carry a very limited number of passengers with their own cabins are also excluded. Ships intended solely for day excursions are also excluded.
(j) Cruise passenger excursion means a short visit by a cruise passenger to a tourist attraction associated with a port while retaining a cabin on board.
(k) Ro-Ro container cargo means containers with or without cargo loaded on Ro-Ro units which are then rolled on and rolled off the vessels which carry them by sea.
(l) Shipborne port-to-port trailer means a trailer intended to carry cargo (including containers) between two ports on Ro-Ro vessels. It is primarily designed to operate either on board of Ro-Ro vessels or in areas on land within the control of the port authority.
(m) Ro-Ro vessel means a vessel designed to carry Ro-Ro units.
