Article 1 
This Regulation establishes Community conversion factors and presentation codes for processed fish, to convert fish processed weight into fish live weight for the propose of monitoring catches.

Article 5 

1. The fish live weight shall be obtained by multiplying the fish processed weight by the conversion factors referred to in Article 4 for each species and presentation.
2. In case of collective presentations, only one conversion factor corresponding to one of the parts of the collective presentation shall be used.
Article 6 

1. The masters of Community fishing vessels shall use the conversion factors referred to in Article 4 in the logbook as referred to in Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93, to:
(a) estimate the live weight of the quantities onboard the fishing vessel; and
(b) to calculate the live weight of the quantities upon landing.
2. When deemed necessary by the master of the fishing vessel to use, in the landing declaration as referred to in Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 or transhipment declaration as referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 2807/83, the presentation code ‘OTH’ (other), the master shall describe exactly what the presentation ‘other’ refers to.
Article 7 
Member States’ authorities shall use the Community conversion factors referred to in Article 4 when calculating the live weight of landings in order to monitor the quota uptake.
Article 8 
In Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 2807/83, paragraph 4 is replaced by the following:
'
4. The codes given in Annex VI and the Three-Alpha codes established by the FAO for fish species shall be used for indicating, under the appropriate headings of the logbook, the fishing gear used and the species caught.'
