COMMISSION  OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES 
COM(83)  279  final 
Brussels,  20  May  1983 
Proposal  for a 
COUNCIL  REGULATION  (EEC) 
amending Regulation (EEC) No 2057/82 establishing certain control 
measures for fishing activities by vessels of the Member States 
(submitted to the Council by the Commission) 
COM(83)  279  final 

EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 
In the absence of a delegation of powers provided for by an appropriate 
basic  regulation, Article 43 of the Treaty of Rome was the legal basis 
for Council Regulation (EEC) No. 2057/82 of 29 June 1982 establishing 
certain control measures for fishing activities by  vessels  of the Member 
States.  Furthermore, the detailed rules for implementing certain Articles 
of that  Regulation had to be based on the procedure provided for in 
Article 33 of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 3796/81 of 29 December 1981 
on the common organization of the market in fishery products. The recent 
adoption of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 170/83 of 25 January 1983 
establishing a Community system for the conservation and management 
of fishery resources now enables the adoption of control measures to 
be based on Article 10 of  that  Regulation.  With  regard to the detailed 
rules for implementing the Regulation on control, the procedure provided 
for in Article 14 of the new  basic  Regulation can now be  used.  The relevant 
provisions should  therefore  be amended accordingly. 

Proposal  for a 
COUNCIL  REGULATION  (EEC) 
amending Regulation (EEC) No 2057/82 establishing 
certain control measures for fishing activities 
by vessels of the Member States 
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  Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No. 170/83 provides for the adoption 
of supervisory measures to ensure compliance  with  Community provisions 
regarding conservation; 
Whereas  such measures have already been taken by Council Regulation 
(EEC)  No. 2057/82 (2); whereas for the purposes of adoption of detailed 
implementing rules Article 13 of the said Regulation was, in the absence of 
any other appropriate basic Regulation, necessarily based on Article 33 
of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 3796/81 of 29 December 1981 on the 
common organization of the market in fishery products (3); whereas 
the appropriate reference is now to the procedure provided for in 
Article 14 of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 170/83, 
HAS ADOPTED  THIS  REGULATION:
