COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2602/98 of 2 December 1998 concerning the stopping of fishing for plaice by vessels flying the flag of Ireland

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;
