Request self-disclosure from the National Infringement File in the Sea Fisheries Act

Service Description

You can apply to the Federal Agency for Agriculture and Food (BLE) for information on the content of the National Infringement File of the Sea Fisheries Act that concerns you.

Violations of the provisions of the EU Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) are stored electronically in the National Violations File. Infringements committed by German nationals are entered. Infringements committed on fishing vessels authorized to fly the German flag are also recorded.

Offenses committed while fishing in the territorial sea or the German Exclusive Economic Zone are also documented. In addition, points for serious infringements are entered in the infringement file.

If you would like a self-disclosure of the data stored, you can submit an application for self-disclosure, or your legal representative can submit an application for self-disclosure.

Process flow

You can apply for self-disclosure from the National Infringement File in writing by post or online.

If you would like to submit the application in writing by post:

  • Download the relevant form and complete it.
  • You will then have to prove your identity.
    • Option 1: Have your signature on the application form officially or publicly notarized. You then send this document to the state authority responsible for you.
    • Option 2: Present your identity card, passport or residence permit in person to the competent state authority. The state authority will then forward your signed application to the BLE.
  • The BLE will check your application. If the application meets all the requirements, the BLE will issue and send you a fee notice.
  • As soon as the fee has been credited to the BLE's account, the information will be sent to you by post.

If you would like to submit the application electronically, you can use the online service:

  • Go to the BLE website and use the link to the online procedure provided there. Follow the steps indicated.
  • The BLE will check your application. If the application meets all the requirements, the BLE will issue and send you a fee notice. As soon as the fee has been credited to the BLE's account, the information will be sent to you by post.
