COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 673/96 of 12 April 1996 concerning the stopping of fishing for anchovy by vessels flying the flag of Portugal

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 amended by Regulation (EC) No 2870/95 (2), and in particular Article 21 (3) thereof,

Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 3074/95 of 22 December 1995 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1996 and certain conditions under which they may be fished (3), provides for anchovy quotas for 1996;

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 anchovy in the waters of ICES divisions IX, X; CECAF 34.1.1 (EC zone) by vessels flying the flag of Portugal or registered in Portugal have reached the quota allocated for 1996; whereas Portugal has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 15 February 1996; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Catches of anchovy in the waters of ICES divisions IX, X; CECAF 34.1.1 (EC zone) by vessels flying the flag of Portugal or registered in Portugal are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated to Portugal for 1996.

Fishing for anchovy in the waters of ICES divisions IX, X; CECAF 34.1.1 (EC zone) by vessels flying the flag of Portugal or registered in Portugal 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.

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 15 February 1996.

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 of 24 February 1986 on the common organization of the market in products processed fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2314/95 (2), and in particular Articles 13 (8) and 14 (5) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1430/95 (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 272/96 (4), fixes the quantities eligible for export licences, other than those applied for in the context of food aid;

Whereas, to ensure more dynamic exports of provisionally preserved cherries and preserved cherries, the refund rates for these products should be increased and the proposed quantities reduced as a consequence, within the budget limits originally laid down;

Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 462/96 of 11 March 1996 suspending Regulations (EEC) No 990/93 and (EC) No 2471/94, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 2472/94 and (EC) No 2815/95, concerning the interruption of economic and financial relations with the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro), the United Nations protected areas in the Republic of Croatia and those areas of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina under the control of Bosnian Serb forces (7), effectively suspends Regulation (EEC) No 990/93; whereas the reference to the latter Regulation in the footnotes to the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1430/95 should therefore no longer stand;

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,

Whereas, in order to avoid economic repercussions for the operators concerned, the measure should apply from the actual date of application of the processing premium;

Whereas, in accordance with Article 16 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, a basic price and a buying-in price must be fixed for each product in Annex II to that Regulation for each marketing year; whereas the products harvested during a given crop year are marketed from January to December of each year in the case of tomatoes, from May to August of each year in the case of apricots, from May to October of each year in the case of peaches and nectarines, from May to April of the following year in the case of cauliflowers and from June to May of the following year in the case of lemons; whereas, however, pursuant to the third subparagraph of Article 16 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, no basic or buying-in price need be fixed for the slack marketing periods at the beginning and end of the marketing year;

Whereas, in order to ensure the continuity of prices for cauliflower and the possibility of intervention as regards apricots, lemons, peaches and nectarines from 1 June 1996 and tomatoes from 11 June 1996, the basic and buying-in prices for the products must be fixed for the period 1 to 30 June 1996 pending a decision regarding the 1996/97 marketing year,

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 establish the total allowable catches (TACs) by 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, due to the positive evolution of the stock of sprat in the Skagerrak and the Kattegat, a profitable use of the fishing possibilities allocated to the European Union for 1996 requires fishing this stock with nets with a maximum mesh size of 16 mm;

Whereas a review of the management system for North Sea herring is foreseen in 1996 for adoption in 1997;

Whereas it would be uneconomical for Community fishermen to purchase in the interim period nets of mesh sizes other than those which they are currently authorized to use;

Whereas the customs tariff rates and additional import duties for raw sugar are fixed, where such sugar is intended for refining, with reference to sugars with a yield of 92 % of that of the standard quality defined by the Community; whereas it is laid down that where the yield of such sugars differs from the yield fixed for the standard quality, an adjustment should be made; whereas, in the interests of clarity, it should therefore be laid down that the corresponding provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1423/95 (3), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2528/95 (4), only apply to raw sugars;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
