COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2716/98 of 14 December 1998 concerning the stopping of fishing for swordfish by vessels flying the flag of Spain

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 2635/97 (2), and in particular Article 21(3) thereof,

Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 65/98 of 19 December 1997 fixing, for certain stocks of highly migratory fish, the total allowable catches for 1998, their distribution in quotas to Member States and certain conditions under which they may be fished (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1283/98 (4), provides for swordfish quotas for 1998;

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 swordfish in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean north of 5° N by vessels flying the flag of Spain or registered in Spain have reached the quota allocated for 1998; whereas Spain has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 10 December 1998; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,

Article 1

Catches of swordfish in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean north of 5° N by vessels flying the flag of Spain or registered in Spain are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated to Spain for 1998.

Fishing for swordfish in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean north of 5° N by vessels flying the flag of Spain or registered in Spain 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 10 December 1998.

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