This is without prejudice to any additional requirements set under the rules of the CFP or by the national authorities of a Member State or a third country, including the possibility for the competent authorities of the flag Member State, where appropriate, to supplement the available data prior to its exchange.

ICES statistical rectangles provide a grid covering the area between 36° N and 85° 30′ N and 44° W and 68° 30′ E. Latitudinal rows, with intervals of 30′, are numbered (two-digits) from 01 to 99. Longitudinal columns, with intervals of 1°, are coded according to an alphanumeric system, beginning with A0 using a different letter for each 10° block, to M8, except I.

The number of a rectangle in the GFCM statistical grid is a 5 digits code: (i) Latitude is covered by a composed 3 digits code (one letter and two numbers). Maximum range from M00 (30° N) up to M34 (47° 30′ N), (ii) Longitude is covered by a composed code of a letter and a number. The letter range is from A to J and number range per letter is from 0 to 9. Maximum range from A0 (6° W) up to J5 (42° E).
