My Operator is in a non-EU Member State and I want to create a Certificate of inspection for the import of non-illegal, unreported, or unregulated fish catches into the European Union (CATCH)

Important

Only one activity can be added when creating a new operator and it will be possible to add other activities, if needed, only once the operator has been validated by the responsible authorities. To know how to add a new activity to a valid operator see: I want to add a new activityI want to add a new activity

In the box “Chapter” select “Fishing”.

In the “Activity” block fill in the Activity details including the Section, Activity, and Identifier.

Select the Activity address by clicking on the globe next to Address (you will only be able to select one even if more were added in the Address section).

Select the responsible authority - If you skip that step, your role will not be validated. Click on Search responsible authorities.

If you know the name or address of your responsible authority, type it in the search field. Otherwise, you can use the advance search criteria to search by country and/or role.

Select the Central Competent Authority with the CATCH domain in your country.

Once you have selected the Authority, click on “Create new operator”.

When you click on: “Create new operator”, a confirmation pop-up window will appear. Here you have the option to provide some additional useful information, however, you can continue without doing so by simply clicking on “Send authorization request”.

After clicking on “Send authorisation request” the authority that you have assigned as responsible authority will be notified of your validation request. You are also requesting to be linked to that operator.
