Order No. 3D-255 of the Minister of Agriculture validating the procedure for registration of information on transferable rights in the fishing sector.

This Order delineates the legal framework and operational procedures for the management of transferable rights in the national fisheries sector, emphasizing the establishment and regulation of an information system. Its primary objective is to register transfer rights related to inland fishing quotas, maritime fishing opportunities, and the use of fishing gear, ensuring systematic data collection, processing, and storage to support fisheries management and legal compliance. Key measures include the development and management of an integrated information system managed by the Ministry of Agriculture, with specific functions assigned to the Fisheries Authority. The system's data encompasses operator details, vessel information, transfer of rights, and classifications aligned with international standards. The document mandates procedures for submitting applications, recording decisions, and updating data, with a focus on transparency, data accuracy, and legal accountability. It also stipulates the processing of personal data in accordance with EU and Lithuanian data protection laws, outlining responsibilities for data controllers and processors, and emphasizing cybersecurity requirements. Implementation mechanisms involve the organization of meetings for rights allocation, data recording within specified timelines, and the use of classification subsystems. The system's data is made publicly accessible, with provisions for data reuse via the Lithuanian Open Data Portal. Security protocols are mandated to protect data integrity and confidentiality, with responsibilities assigned to the system manager. The document specifies that the system is financed through state and EU funds, and details procedures for updating, reorganizing, or liquidating the system, including data transfer and archiving protocols, ensuring compliance with legal standards and institutional responsibilities.
