COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2287/97 of 17 November 1997 concerning the stopping of fishing for saithe by vessels flying the flag of the United Kingdom

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2205/97 (2), and in particular Article 21 (3) thereof,

Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 392/97 of 20 December 1996 allocating, for 1997, certain catch quotas between Member States for vessels fishing in the Norwegian exclusive economic zone and the fishing zone around Jan Mayen (3), provides for saithe quotas for 1997;

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;

Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of saithe in the waters of ICES divisions I and II a and b (Norwegian waters north of 62° N) by vessels flying the flag of the United Kingdom or registered in the United Kingdom have reached the quota allocated for 1997; whereas the United Kingdom has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 30 October 1997; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Catches of saithe in the waters of ICES divisions I and II a and b (Norwegian waters north of 62°N) by vessels flying the flag of the United Kingdom or registered in the United Kingdom are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated to the United Kingdom for 1997.

Fishing for saithe in the waters of ICES divisions I and II a and b (Norwegian waters north of 62°N) by vessels flying the flag of the United Kingdom or registered in the United Kingdom is prohibited, as well as the retention on board, the transhipment and the landing of such stock captured by the abovementioned vessels after the date of application of this Regulation.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

It shall apply with effect from 30 October 1997.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 17 November 1997.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2381/97 of 28 November 1997 amending Regulation (EEC) No 2999/92 laying down detailed rules for the application of the specific measures for the supply of processed fruit and vegetables to Madeira and to determine the forecast supply balance for the period 1 July 1997 to 30 June 1998

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 of 15 June 1992 concerning specific measures for the Azores and Madeira with regard to certain agricultural products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2348/96 (2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,

Whereas the quantities of products eligible for the specific supply arrangements are determined by means of periodic forecast balances which may be revised according to the essential requirements of the market taking into account local production and traditional trade flows;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2999/92 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1272/97 (4), lays down detailed rules for the application of the specific measures for the supply of processed fruit and vegetables to Madeira and the forecast balance fixing the quantities eligible for the specific supply arrangements for the period from 1 July to 31 December 1997;

Whereas, pending a communication from the competent authorities updating the requirements of Madeira, and so as not to interrupt application of the specific supply arrangements, the balance was drawn up for the period 1 July to 31 December 1997 by Regulation (EC) No 1272/97; whereas as a result of the presentation by the Portuguese authorities of information on the needs of Madeira, it was possible to establish the balance for the entire 1997/98 marketing year; whereas the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2999/92 should thus be replaced by the Annex to this Regulation;

Whereas the supply arrangements are laid down for the period 1 July to 30 June; whereas the definitive supply balance for the 1997/98 marketing year should therefore apply from the start of that year, i.e. 1 July 1997;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 2999/92 is replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

It shall apply from 1 July 1997.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 28 November 1997.
