PROPOSAL FOR A 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
Fixing for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks occurring in the 
Community's fishing zone, provisional total allowable catches for 1984, the 
provisional 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.
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No. 170/83 of 25 January 1983 
establishing a Community system for the conservation and management of 
fishery resources (1), and in particular Articles 2, 3, 4(1) and 11 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, in order to ensure the protection of fishing grounds and fish stocks 
and the balanced exploitation of the resources of the sea, in the interests 
of both fishermen and consumers there should be fixed each year for the 
different species, of which the catches must be restricted, a total allowable 
catch (TAC) per stock or group of stocks and the share of these catches 
available to the Community taking into account its commitments to third 
countries;
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 effective management, the TACs available for the 
Community in 1984 should be distributed among the member States in a manner 
which assures relative stability of fishing activities;
Whereas pending the decision of the Council upon an allocation key for the 
North Sea herring stock, quota allocations should not be proposed for the 
stock;
Whereas, in the case of certain stocks fished mainly for reduction to meal 
and oil, it does not appear necessary to make quota allocations;
W h erea s although negotiations w ith third countries have not yet been concluded a n d  
scientific advice is not yet available for all stocks, which would permit the 
proposal of definitive TACs and shares available to the Community,
it is nevertheless essential for the efficient planning of fishing activities 
that provisional shares available to the Community .in 1984 b e
established;
Whereas the allocation of the TAC for shrimp in the zone of French G u ia n a  h a s  
been established by Council Regulation (EEC) No. (2),
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. This Regulation fixes for 1984, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish 
stocks occurring in the Community's fishing zone, provisional total 
allowable catches (TACs) per stock or group of stocks, the provisional 
share of these catches available to the Community, the allocation of that 
share among Member States and the specific conditions under which these 
stocks may be fished.
