Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 of 20 December 1992 establishing a Community system for fisheries and aquaculture (1), and in particular Article 8 (4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, under the terms of Article 8 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92, it is incumbent upon the Council to determine the total allowable catches (TACs) for each fishery or group of fisheries;
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 3074/95 (2) fixes, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the TACs for 1996 and certain conditions under which they may be fished;

Whereas available scientific information suggests that this stock be managed in a cautious way by ensuring that the spawning stock biomass is maintained above 2,5 million tonnes;
Whereas pending agreement, by way of cooperation between all States concerned, on appropriate conservation and management measures concerning this stock, it is necessary to establish, by way of an autonomous measure, a legal framework which ensures the rational and responsible exploitation of this stock by Community fishing vessels both within Community fishing waters and beyond; whereas that legal framework should consist of a precautionary TAC at a level compatible with scientific advice which, under prevailing circumstances, may justifiably be fixed at 150 000 tonnes;
