COMMISSION  OF THE  EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES 
COM(83)  213  final 
Brussels,  11  May  1983 
Proposal  for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) 
fixing for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks occurring in the 
Community's fishing zone,  total  allowable catches for 1983, the share of 
these catches available to the Community, the allocation of  that  share 
between  the Member States and the conditions under which the  total 
allowable catches may be fished 
(submitted  to the Council by the Commission) 
COM(83)  213  final 

Explanatory memorandum 
In proposing  TACs  and quotas for 1983, the Commission has endeavoured, 
insofar as is possible, to maintain stability of catch possibilities in 
1983, in accordance  with  the objectives stated in Council Regulation (EEC) 
170/83  of 25 January 1983 (1). 
For joint  stocks, the  TACs  and the Community shares are those already 
negotiated  with  the respective third countries. Furthermore, allocations 
in joint  and autonomous third country stocks have already been approved by the 
Council  in  interim  agreements  with  Norway, Sweden and the Faroe Islands 
(Council Regulations (EEC)  178/83,  179/83  and  180/73  of 25 January 1983, 
respecti vely (1). 
For the Community's autonomous stocks, the Commission has  taken  into 
consideration the advice of the  International  Council for the Exploration of 
the Sea (ICES), the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO), and the 
Scientific and Technical Committee for Fisheries (STCF). However, in those 
instances in which the Commission is not convinced by the management 
objective on which the scientific advice is founded, the Commission has 
proposed  a TAC based on an  alternative  management objective, taking into 
account also the comments on the 1982 report of the  STCF  made by the 
Consultative Committee for Fisheries (Group HI Resources). For the  majority 
of stocks, this objective is to set  TACs  which  will  result in no change in the 
amount of fishing in 1983 compared  with  1982. 
The Commission has considered  with  particular prudence its proposals fpr the 
fixing of  TACs  for  three  stocks, the cod stocks at east and west Greenland 
and the western stock of mackerel. 
For both the east and west Greenland cod stocks, the management objective 
recommended by the scientists is to rebuild the spawning stock quickly to a 
much higher level than at present in order to ensure higher average levels of 
recruitment. This assumes a dependency of recruitment upon the size of the 
c 
(1) 0J L 24 of 27.1  .1983.pp.  79, 89 and 97. 

mature stock which has not been adequately demonstrated. 1° DOth areas, the 
annual recruitment of young cod may be as much, if not more dependent, upon 
water  temperatures at the  time  of spawning. The situation is further 
complicated  at east Greenland by the partial emigration of cod to spawn in 
Iceland, from where there is no evidence of a return migration, and 
immigration of very young cod from Iceland to Greenland. 
The Commission proposes, therefore, for the east Greenland stock a TAC which, 
based  on the latest scientific data available, maintains the level of fishing 
in 1983 at- -its 1982 level. 
For west Greenland cod, the Commission proposes a TAC based on a 
management strategy which  will  stabilise the spawning stock size 
at its predicted Level for 1983. 
For the western mackerel stock the Commission has proposed the TAC 
recommended by the  STCF,  which is  350.000  t. It has been assumed 
that  60.000  t of this  will  be caught outside Community waters, as 
estimated for 1982. 
This  results in a Community TAC of  290.000  t from which must be • 
deducted  32.000  t allocated to third countries, resulting in an EEC 
allocation of  258.000  t. 
The Commission is fully  aware  of the economic consequences of a TAC 
of this size but it is also fully  aware  that  a higher TAC  will  result 
in a collapse of the stock, possibly in as short a  time  as 3 - 4 years, 
with  more serious economic consequences to member States. 
The Commission finds it imperative therefore to continue  with  the 
^existing restrictions on the mackerel fishery in ICES divisions Vile and f. 
Fishing  for mackerel in the restricted zone (1) is prohibited in accordance 
with  scientific advice from 1 March until 15 November each year in order 
to minimise the catch of small mackerel. The Commission draws the attention 
(1) The restrictions apply to an area bounded by: 
- the south-west coast of the United Kingdom at longitude 05°00'W, 
- longitude 05°00'W,  latitude  49°30*N, 
- longitude 07°00'W,  latitude  49°30'N, 
- longitude 07°00'W,  latitude  50°30'N, 
- the south-west coast of theJlaitedJlingdom at  latitude  50°30'N. 

OT tne Counci L  of Ministers to recent scientific advice  that  the conservation 
risks  posed by the catching of small mackerel extend over a wider area than 
the present restricted zone. 
If the condition of the western mackerel stock makes it necessary, the 
Commission  will  propose  - in line  with  scientific advice  - a significant 
extension of the present restrictions. 
For 1983,  if the Council found itself unable to agree to the reduced 
Community share of the  TAC  of 258,000  t, the Commission could envisage 
raising it to  300,000  t but only if the present mackerel restrictions  were 
extended. 
The Commission has accepted the advice of the  STCF  that  jthere  should be a 
precautionary TAC for plaice - ICES divisions Vllh, j, k (and by analogy, 
for sole in the same  area)  and for sprat in ICES division VII e.  (Fifth 
Report of the Scientific and Technical Committee) 1 . . 
It has not proposed a TAC for whiting in the Community zone of the Baltic Sea 
(ICES divisions III  b,c,d)  as the low level of reported catches indicates 
that  a TAC for this area is not justified. In accordance  with  the  trilateral 
agreement of 14 January 1983 between the Community, Norway 'and Sweden, a single 
TAC only is proposed for -whiting in the Skagerrak and Kattegat. 
The Commission  will  not receive scientific advice on the management of the 
majority  of herring stocks until  after  the meeting of the ICES Advisory 
Committee on Fisheries Management in May 1983. For those stocks, for which 
no advice is available, the Commission has proposed zero  TACs  as an  interim 
measure.  Immediately  the advice is received, it  will  introduce new 
proposals  as quickly as possible. 
The Commission also reserves the right to modify any of its other proposals for  TACs, 
quotas and conditions for fishing in the light of any new scientific advico. 
In allocating the  TACs,  or the Community shares  thereof,  between Member 
States, the Commission has used the key provided by the  1982  quota allocations 
in Council Regulation (EEC) N°  172/83  of 27  January  1983 (2), 
(1) SEC(83)  152  of  25.1  .1983.  PP.  20  and  27. 
(2) O.J. L  24 of 27.1 .1983;p.  30 

after  taking  into  account the particular needs of regions where local populations 
are especially dependent on fisheries and related industries as decided by the 
Council  in its Resolution of 3 November 1976 and in particular Annex VII thereto, 
in accordance  with  Council Regulation (EEC) No 170/83. 
The Commission particularly draws the  attention  of any Member State for which 
application of Annex VII of the Hague Resolution of 3 November 1976 results in 
quota allocations for 1983 significantly greater  than  catches in 1982 to the 
terms of Article 5, paragraph 1 of the  Basic  Regulation (1) and asks the member 
States  concerned to er.cnange  with  other member States the excess 'beyond estimated 
catch possibilities  this  year. 
The conditions under which the  TACs  may be fished remain essentially the same 
as in Regulation No 172/83  with  the notable exception of Articles 4, 8 and 9. 
Article 4 collates the provisions on by-catches,  hitherto  contained in 
Article 4 and Article 8 paragraphs 1 - 3 of Regulation No.172/83. The 
Commission  has  attempted  to clarify these provisions in the  light  of the 
declaration ad Article 4 of Regulation No 172/83 made at the Council of 
25 January 1983 and the Agreed Record of Fishery Consultations between the 
Community, Norway and Sweden, 4.5.1982. 
In conformity  with  the Council Declaration of 25 January 1983, the Commission 
will  present a  report  to the Council before 31 May 1983 on the by-catch 
question represented by Article 4. 
As far as Article 8 paragraphs 2 b ii and 7 are concerned, these provisions 
have been transferred, in view of  their  permanent nature, to Regulation 
No 171/83. 
Arti  cle 8, as Article 9, has  further  been amended to include the temporary 
bans  of herring and sprat fishing in the Skagerrak and Kattegat on the basis of 
the trilateral  agreement of 14 January 1983 between the Community, Norway and 
Sweden.
