COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES 
COM(94) 566 final 
Brussels, 07.12.1994 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) 
fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total 
allowable catches for 1995 and certain conditions under which 
they may be fished 
(presented by the Commission) 

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
This proposal for a Council Regulation fixes the total allowable catches (TACs) for 1995, the 
Community share of them, the distribution of those shares among Member States and the 
conditions under which the quotas may be fished. The fixing and the sharing of possibilities 
for fishing falls exclusively within the competence of the Community and arises from 
obligations set out in Article 8(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 of the Council of 20 
December 1992. 
It should be noted that, as a consequence of the accession of Sweden and Finland, new stocks 
are included in the proposal, as compared with 1994. 
In the case of autonomous stocks where the Advisory Committee on Fishery Management 
(ACFM) based its advice on analytical assessments, and where the EC Scientific, Technical 
and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) has endorsed the ACFM advice, the TACs 
proposed are based on the advice of these committees. 
In the case of autonomous stocks for which no analytical assessments are available, TACs 
(precautionary TACs) have been proposed. In such cases, the Commission has based its 
proposal on advice either from ACFM or from STECF wherever these bodies give an explicit 
value for the TAC. Where no explicit value is given, the proposed value is equal to that 
adopted last year by the Council. 
The consultations between the Community and Norway, held in Brussels on 30 November 
1994, resulted in an agreement on reciprocal fisheries arrangements for 1995, until 31 March. 
These arrangements imply,' inter alia, certain catch quotas for Norwegian vessels in 
Community waters. 
The most recent report of ACFM indicates that many of the stocks of demersal fish, 
particularly cod, haddock, whiting, saithe and hake are very heavily exploited and are 
considered to be in a state which is actually or potentially outside safe biological limits. 
Depending on the stock in question, ACFM have recommended restrictive TACs. The 
recommendations of ACFM are reflected in the proposed regulation. Furthermore, analytical 
assessments of the state of a number of stocks in Region 3 have become available this year. 
The results of these assessments are also reflected in the proposed regulation. 
The technical conditions proposed for 1995 are broadly the same as for 1994. However, there 
are some reinforcements and changes as indicated below. 
1) Given that certain technical measures should be implemented as from 1 January 1995, 
they are included in the proposal, in the form of temporary derogations to the main 
rules, while waiting for the corresponding regulations to be amended accordingly. In 
particular: 
A proposal is made to maintain the currently defined conditions for a directed 
fishery on whiting until 31 December 1995. In addition, it is also proposed that 
the minimum mesh size for fishing for herring is maintained throughout 1995 at 
1 
the current value of 32 mm and that the minimum mesh size for fishing for 
Pandalus becomes 35mm for the same period. 
fhe prohibition for beam trawling in the Southern North Sea, established in 
Article 9(3) of Regulation (EEC) No3094/86 (Plaice box), is extended to the 
whole year 1995. 
2) 1 rie technical measures recommended by the IBSFC during its last meeting are also 
proposed. They concern a seasonal ban on cod fishing and new rules on mesh sizes. 
3) For the new stocks appearing as a consequence of the enlargement, the associated 
conditions for fishing which appeared in the bilateral regulations for 1994 are included 
in this proposal and kept unchanged. 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No. /94 
of 1994 
fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total 
allowable catches for 1995 and certain conditions under which 
they may be fished 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, 
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No. 3760/92 of 20 December 1992 establishing 
a Community system for fisheries and aquaculture1, and in particular Article 8(4) thereof, 
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Articles 157, 
161 and 348 thereof, 
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Austria, Sweden, Finland and Norway, and in 
particular Articles 44, 47, 48, 121, and 122 thereof. 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Whereas Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No. 3760/92 requires the Council to formulate, in 
the light of the available scientific advice and, in particular, of the report prepared by the 
Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries, the measures necessary to 
ensure the rational and responsible exploitation of resources on a sustainable basis; 
Whereas a management regime making full use of the new management possibilities given 
by Regulation (EEC) No. 3760/92 cannot yet be achieved, due to the need to put into force 
certain measures for the control of fisheries, to further develop the appropriate administrative 
framework (licensing system) and to enhance scientific knowledge; whereas, until such a 
1 O.J. No L389, 31.12.1992, p.1 
management regime is consolidated, limitation of exploitation rates should be guaranteed by 
the current TAC system; 
Whereas under the terms of Article 8(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92, it is incumbent 
upon the Council, in accordance with Article 4, to establish the total allowable catches (TAC) 
by fishery or group of fisheries; whereas fishing opportunities should be allocated to Member 
States in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 8(4)(ii); 
Whereas it is necessary to establish the principles and certain procedures of fishery 
management at the Community level, so that Member States can ensure the management of 
the fleets under their flag or jurisdiction; 
Whereas, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 2 of the Agreement on 
fisheries between the European Community and the Government of Denmark and the Home 
Government of the Faroe Islands of the other part2, the parties have consulted on their 
reciprocal fishing rights for 1995; whereas these consultations have been successfully 
concluded; whereas, as a result, it is possible to fix the TACs, the Community shares and the 
quotas for certain joint and autonomous stocks, of which part is allocated to the Faroe 
Islands; 
Whereas, in accordance with the procedure provided in Articles 2 and 7 of the Fisheries 
Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway3, the 
Community and Norway have held consultations concerning mutual fishing rights for the 
period untill 31 March 1995 and the managment of common biological resources; whereas 
the Community and Norway agreed to hold consultations on their mutual fishing rights for 
the remainder months of 1995 as early as possible in 1995; 
Whereas the Community has signed the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, 
which contains principles and rules relating to the conservation and management of the living 
resources of the sea; 
2 O.J. No L226, 29.08.1980, p. 12 
3 OJ No L226, 29.08.1980, p.48 
Whereas, in the framework of its wider international obligations, the Community participates 
in efforts to conserve fish stocks arising in international waters; whereas the extent to which 
such stocks are fished by vessels of the Community should be viewed in the light of overall 
fishing activity and the contribution made hitherto by the Community towards their 
conservation should be taken into account; 
Whereas the International Baltic Sea Fishery Commission has recommended TACs for the 
stocks of cod, salmon, herring and sprat occurring in the waters of the Baltic Sea and the 
shares thereof for each contracting party; 
Whereas, in the case of certain stocks fished mainly for reduction to meal and oil, it does not 
appear necessary to make quota allocations; 
Whereas Article 161 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal fixes the share of the 
TACs allocated to Spain for certain stocks in certain zones and allocates flat-rate amounts of 
horse mackerel and blue whiting to Spain; 
Whereas those flat-rate amounts of blue whiting must be divided among ICES sub-areas and 
divisions Vb (EC zone), VI, VII and Villa, b and d; 
Whereas, pursuant to Article 158 of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, a distinction 
must be made between fishing for demersal species and fishing for species other than 
demersal; whereas the group to which blue whiting, anchovy and horse mackerel belong 
must therefore be defined; 
Whereas, in order to ensure effective management of these TACs, the specific conditions 
under which fishing operations occur should be established; 
Whereas, in order to ensure a better exploitation of the quotas of herring, hake, blue whiting, 
mackerel and megrim, transfers of a part of the quotas from the zone of allocation to adjacent 
zones should be allowed; 
Whereas, in order to ensure a better exploitation of the haddock stocks in zones Vb (EC 
zone), VI, XII and XIV, catches in zones Vb and Via should be limited; 
Whereas, taking account of the latest scientific advice, it is necessary to establish seasonal 
limitations on fishing activities in the Celtic Sea in order to limit fishing for herring; 
Whereas catches of certain pelagic species and certain shrimps (Pandalus spp. except 
Pandalus montagui) may be taken with a mesh size which derogates from Community 
regulations; whereas catches of whiting may be taken in conditions that derogate from 
Community regulations; whereas scientific advice on these issues is already available; 
whereas, until the necessary amendments have been made to Council Regulation (EEC) No 
3094/864, as last modified by Regulation (EC) No. 1796/945, it is appropriate to prolong the 
current conditions of fishing for the above-mentioned species as defined by article 9 of 
Council Regulation (EC) No. 3676/936; 
Whereas massive catches of young flatfish are being taken in the southern North Sea in 
autumn; whereas protection should be given to these fish, in order to achieve a better 
exploitation; 
Whereas the International Baltic Sea Fisheries Commission has recommended certain 
technical measures for resource conservation and other dispositions on control of fishing 
activities, to be implemented by its contracting parties with effect from 1 January 1995; 
Whereas, pursuant to Articles 48 and 122 of the Act of Accession of Austria, Sweden, 
Finland and Norway, the conditions under which allocations made in the framework of the 
Accession can be fished will remain identical to those applicable immediately prior to the 
entry in force of the Accession Treaty;

6 O. J. No. L341, 31.12.1993, p. 1 
Whereas improved economical utilization of certain stocks of herring requires them to be 
used for purposes other than direct human consumption; whereas the state of these stocks is 
such that, under appropriate management, there is no danger in implementing such a 
measure; 
Whereas, pursuant to Article 2(3) of the Treaty of Accession of Austria, Sweden, Finland and 
Norway, the institutions of the Union may adopt before accession the measures referred to 
in Articles 44, 47, 48, 94, 121, and 122 of the Act of Accession,

ANNEX II 
EXIT WINDOW (model 1) 
Two exit windows with plastic coated, fully opened diamond meshes shall be attached to the 
codend of trawls and Danish seines in the cod fishery. The mesh opening shall be no less 
than 108 mm. The exit windows shall be attached with a separate piece of netting (between 
the ordinary diamond meshes and the meshes of the exit window). The mesh size of the 
separate nettting shall be identical to the bar length of the exit window netting times the 
square root of two. 
The exit window shall be attached on both sides of the codend, and the distance between the 
rear end of the codend and the window shall be 40-50 cm. The length of the window shall 
be 80% of the total length of the codend and the height of the window shall be 50 cm. The 
window shall be mounted in a way that gives an opening between the upper and lower seams 
of the window of 15-20 cm. 
is 
EXIT WINDOW (model 2) 
Identification: 
The windows shall be rectangular sections of netting in the codend. There shall be two 
windows in the codend. 
Size: 
Each window shall have a minimum width of 45 cm along its entire length. Each window 
shall have a minimum length of 3.5 m measured along its sides (Figure 1) 
Netting (Fig. 2): 
The meshes in the windows shall have a minimum size of 105 mm. They shall be square 
meshes, i.e. all four sides of the window netting will be cut all bars. The netting shall be 
mounted such that the bars run parallel and perpendicular to the length of the codend. The 
window width shall be 8 open square meshes. The length shall be between 57 and 62 square 
meshes. 
Location: 
The codend shall be divided into upper and lower pannels by selvedges running down the 
port and starboard sides. The two windows shall be located in the lower pannel, immediately 
adjacent to and below the selvedges. The windows shall terminate a minimum of 2 m and a 
maximum of 2.5 m from the codline (Figure 1). 
The forward end of the window shall be joined to 8 meshes width of the normal codend 
netting. One side shall join to the selvedge or be joined immediately adjacent to the selvedge 
and the other side shall be joined to the normal codend lower pannel netting following a 
straight all knots cut (Figure 3). 
Mesh size in the whole codend: 
All parts of the codend shall conform to a minimum mesh size of 105 mm.
