MEDIUM-TERM MEASURES' .
TheCommission takes this opportunity toemphasize once again theimportance
ofarevision ofthecommon organization ofthemarket which hasbeen in
existence since 1970 ,soastotake account ofthechanges which have
occurred since then onCommunity markets andinthefishing conditions
following theintroduction of200-mile zones .Itwould point outthat
theEuropean Parliament,' initsresolution adopted on13February ,also
requested theCouncil totake adecision "bytheendofMarch .
Asaguideline fortheconsiderable amount ofwork which still has tobe
done inthis sector ,onthebasis oftheproposals already submitted by
vtheCommission ,theCouncil might atthis stage adopt thedraft resolution
inAnnex IV andthus enable faster implementation of
thenew common organization ofthemarket which would more efficiently
meet the needs ofthe current situation .•
