COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 801/85

of 26 March 1985

allocating, for 1985, Community catch quotas in Greenland waters

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 170/83 of 25 January 1983 establishing a Community system for the conservation and management of fishery resources (1), and in particular Article 11 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas an Agreement on fisheries between the European Economic Community, on the one hand, and the Government of Denmark and the local Government of Greenland, on the other (2), entered into force on 1 February 1985;

Whereas a Protocol on the conditions relating to fishing between the European Economic Community, on the one hand, and the Government of Denmark and the local Government of Greenland, on the other (3), also entered into force on 1 February 1985; whereas that Protocol fixes the catch quotas allocated to the Community in Greenland waters;

Whereas the catch quotas allocated to the Community may be taken by vessels which do not fly the flag of a Member State of the Community, to the extent to which this is necessary for the proper functioning of the fisheries agreements concluded by the Community with third countries; whereas the Community has agreed to allocate part of its catch quotas in Greenland waters in 1985 to Norway;

Whereas the Community and Greenland have held consultations on the application of the Agreement and the Protocol in 1985; whereas the parties agreed that the Community catch quotas, except for cod in NAFO 1, may be fished in 1985 as set out in the Protocol;

Whereas a special arrangement applies to the cod stock in NAFO 1, taking into account the difficult situation of this stock; whereas the situation of this stock is to be reviewed in the light of further developments;

Whereas, under Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 170/83, the Council is required to fix the total allowable catch for each stock or group of stocks, the share available to the Community and the specific conditions for taking these catches; whereas, under Article 4 of the same Regulation, the share available to the Community is to be distributed among the Member States;

Whereas information about actual catches should be made available in order to ensure that the allocations are respected;

Whereas it is necessary, taking into account Greenland's withdrawal from the Community, to repeal Council Regulation (EEC) No 2/85 of 19 December 1984 allocating, for 1985, catch quotas in Greenland waters (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 97/85 (5),

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Member States and the masters of vessels flying the flag of a Member State shall comply, as far as fishing in Greenland waters is concerned, with Articles 3 to 9 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2057/82 of 29 June 1982 establishing certain control measures for fishing activities by vessels of the Member States (6), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1729/83 (7).

Article 3

Regulation (EEC) No 2/85 is hereby repealed.

Article 4

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 1 February 1985.

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