COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES 
C0M(94) 459 final 
Brussels, 26.10.1994 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) 
amending Regulation (EQ No.3676/93 
fixing,for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, 
the total allowable catches for 1994 and certain conditions under which they may be 
fished 
(presented by the Commission) 
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
The objective of the present proposal is to fix fishing possibilities for certain stocks of fish 
and to allocate these equitably to Member States. 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) n° 3760/92 of the Council of 
20 December 19921, establishing a Community regime for fishing and aquaculture. 
The TAC s for sprat and whiting in the North Sea, and for haddock to the West of Scotland 
appear insufficient to maintain exploitation for the whole of 1994. According to the most 
recent scientific information, an increase in these TAC's would not jeopardize the future 
management of the resources concerned. 
On the other hand, the system of rotatory closures of the herring fishery in the Celtic Sea 
should be continued in 1994. 
This proposal intends to address these problems by modifying Council Regulation (EC) 
N°3676/932

Proposal for a 
Council Regulation (EQ No /94 of 1994 
amending Regulation (EQ No.3676/93 
flxing,for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, 
the total allowable catches for 1994 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 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.3676/93, fixes, for certain fish stocks and groups offish stocks, 
the TACs for 1994 and certain conditions under which they may be fished; 
Whereas the state of the stocks of sprat and whiting in the North Sea, and of haddock to the 
west of Scotland allow increases in their respective TACs without endangering the future 
management of these resources; 
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; 
O.J. No L389,31.12.1992, p.l 
2^ 
Whereas Regulation ((EC) No 3676/93 should therefore be amended accordingly, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :

- latitude Sl^N, longitude lrOOW, 
- latitude 52°3(m, longitude 11°00W, 
- the west coast of Ireland at latitude 52°30'N" 
2. The Annex to this Regulation replaces the corresponding elements of the Annex.
