COM(97) 669 final 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION ŒO 
fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, 
the total allowable catches for 1998 
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 (TAC's) for 1998, the 
Community share of them, the distribution of those shares as quotas 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. 
Essentially, this proposal contains the same elements as the proposal for 1997 TACs, updated where 
possible in the light of scientific advice. 
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 further reviewed the advice of ACFM, the TAC's proposed are 
based on the advice of these committees. 
In the case of autonomous stocks for which no analytical assessments are available, TAC's 
(precautionary TAC's) 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. 
Consultations between the Community and Norway to agree on reciprocal fisheries arrangements for 
1998are still in progress. These arrangements imply, inter alio, certain catch quotas for Norwegian 
vessels in Community waters. 
The most recent report of ACFM. endorsed by STECF, indicates that in Regions 1 and 2, many of the 
stocks of demersal fish, particularly cod, haddock, saithe. whiting, hake and plaice are too heavily 
exploited and are considered to be in a state which is actually or potentially outside safe biological 
limits. Analytical assessments of the state of a number of demersal stocks in Region 3 are also 
available. Depending on the stock in question, ACFM have recommended management action 
implying the imposition of restrictive TAC's and such recommendations are reflected in this proposal. 
In the case of sardine, a set of new measures has been proposed to halt its decline. 
As regards certain pelagic fish, ACFM and STECF also point to grave concern over the state of stocks 
of herring in the North Sea and of mackerel. The TACs for both of these stocks are included in the 
annual consultations with Norway which are still in progress. 
Given that certain technical measures should be implemented as from 1 January 1998, 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: 
The prohibition for beam trawling in the Southern North Sea, established in Article 10(3) of 
Regulation (EEC) No894/97 (Plaice box), is extended to the whole year 1998. 
The summer ban on cod fishing in the Baltic is set from 10 June to 20 August 1998. 
A new box. banning temporarily all fishing, is set in the Baltic Sea 
The dates of certain closures for flatfish fishine in the Baltic are modified. 
The mesh size for fixed gears fishing for sole in ICES division Vlld is set at 90mm. 
Finally, Article 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No 847/96, introducing additional conditions for year-to-
year management of TACs and quotas, requires the Council to decide which stocks are subject to the 
various measures fixed therein. This is dealt with by this proposal under annex III. 
A ^lo 
Proposai for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No /97 
fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, 
the total allowable catches for 1998 
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 aquaculture , and in particular 
Article 8(4) thereof, 
Having regard to the 1994 Act of Accession, and in particular Articles 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, and in particular the management of catch 
limitations on a pluriannual and multispecies basis, 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 for a system of limitation of fishing effort, 
and to enhance scientific knowledge; whereas, until such a management regime is 
consolidated, limitation of exploitation rates should be guaranteed by the current TAC 
system; 
OJ No L 389. 3 1.12.1992, p. 1. Regulation as amended by the 1994 Act of Accession. 
1C 
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 Article 8(4)(ii) 
of that Regulation; 
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 vessels flying their flag; 
Whereas, in order to ensure effective management of these TACs, the specific 
conditions under which fishing operations occur should be established; 
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions laid down in Article 2 of Council 
Regulation (EC) No 847/96 of 6 May 1996 introducing additional conditions for year 
to year management of TACs and quotas , it is necessary to indicate which stocks are 
subject to the various measures fixed therein; 
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 certain stocks of fish in the North Sea should be subject to a TAC for the first 
time in 1998 in order to guarantee a sustainable use of the resources; 
Whereas, in order to prevent overfishing, the Community fisheries for Atlanto-Scandian 
herring in area II and Horse mackerel in area II, IV and area Vb, VI, VII, VIIIabde,XII, 
XIV should be subjected to allocation among Member States so as these fisheries are 
properly monitored; 
0.1 No L 1 15, 9.5.1996, p. 3. 
Whereas in accordance with the second sub-paragraph of Article 8(4) of Regulation 
(EEC) No. 3760/92, the allocation shall assure relative stability of fishing activities; 
whereas relative stability can in this case be represented by the catch over a recent and 
representative period; 
Whereas, in order to ensure a better exploitation of the quotas of herring, anchovy, 
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 accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 2 of the Agreement 
on fisheries between the European Economic Community, of the one part, and the 
Government of Denmark and the Home Government of the Faroe Islands, of the other 
part3, the Parties have consulted on their reciprocal fishing rights for 1998; 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 Norway , the Community and Norway have held consultations concerning mutual 
fishing rights for 1998; whereas these consultations have been successfully concluded 
and therefore it is possible to fix the TACs, the Community shares and the quotas for 
joint stocks and, where necessary, for other stocks; 
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 it is appropriate to 
implement those recommendations; 
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; 
OJ No L 226, 29.8.1980, p. 12. 
OJ No L 226, 29.8.1980, 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, pursuant to Article 122 of the 1994 Act of Accession, the conditions under 
which allocations made within the framework of the Accession can be fished will 
remain identical to those applicable immediately prior to the entry into force of the 
1994 Treaty of Accession; 
Whereas improved economical utilization of Baltic 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 massive catches of young flatfish can be 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 to be implemented by its Contracting 
Parties with effect from 1 January 1998; 
Whereas the economical effectiveness of the fishery for horse mackerel in zones VIIIc and 
IX may be improved by the landing of small horse mackerel within limits compatible with 
the sustainabilitv of the resource; 
Whereas the rebuilding of the stock of herring in the North Sea requires that the special 
nanas 
998; management measures stipulated in Regulation (EC) No 1602/96 should be continued in 
Whereas the conditions defined in Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 390/97 of 20 
December 1997 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups offish stocks, the total allowable

0.1 No L 66, 6.3.1997, p. 1. 
catches for 1998 and certain conditions under which they may be fished 1996 for 
fishing for sprat in ICES Division Ilia should be maintained; 
Whereas, according to scientific advice, the economic efficiency of the exploitation of 
sole in ICES Division Vlld may be improved by the use of fixed gears of 90 mm 
mesh withouth putting fish resources at risk; 
Whereas protection of nursery areas should be provided for, taking into account the 
specific biological conditions in the various zones concerned,
