COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES 
Brussels, 04.12.1998 
COM(1998) 680 final 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) 
fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups offish stocks, the total allowable 
catches for 1999 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 
1999, 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 1998 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 1999 are still in progress. These arrangements imply, inter alia, 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. 
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 TAC's 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 1999, 
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 1999. 
The summer ban on cod fishing in the Baltic is set from 1 July to 20 August 
1999. A new box, banning temporarily all fishing, is set in the Baltic Sea. Certain 
technical specifications concerning the use of exit windows in the Baltic Sea are 
slightly modified. 
The limits to the herring box in the Irish Sea have been slightly modified. 
The mesh size for fixed gears fishing for sole in region 1 and 2 is set at 90mm. 
Fishing for tuna on dolphin shoals will be authorized in 1999, subject to the 
rules on Dolphin Mortality Limits as set up by the Agreement on the 
International Dolphin Conservation Programme. 
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. 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No .../.. 
of..... 
fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups offish stocks, the total allowable 
catches for 1999 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 1994 Act of Accession, and in particular Articles 94, 121 and 
122 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
1. 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; 
2. 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, 31.12.1992, p. 1. Regulation as amended by Regulation (EC) No 1181/98, OJ 
NoL 164, 9.6.1998, p. 1. 
3. 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; 
4. 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; 
5. Whereas, in order to ensure effective management of these TACs, the 
specific conditions under which fishing operations occur should be 
established; 
6. 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 quotas2, it is necessary to indicate 
which stocks are subject to the various measures fixed therein; 
7. 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; 
8. WTiereas, 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 
Faeroe Islands, of the other part, the Parties have consulted on their 
reciprocal fishing rights for 1999; 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 Faeroe Islands; 
OJNoL115, 9.5.1996, p. 3. 
OJ No L 226, 29.8.1980, p. 12. 
9. 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 Norway4, the Community and Norway have held 
consultations concerning mutual fishing rights for 1999; 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; 
10. 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; 
11. Whereas the Community has approved 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; 
12. Whereas, in the framework of its wider international obligations, the 
Community participates in efforts to conserve fish stocks arising in 
international waters; 
13. 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; 
14. 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; 
15. Whereas a number of conditions specified in Council Regulation (EC) N° 
894/97 of 29 April 1997 laying down certain technical measures for the 
conservation of fishery resources5 and Council Regulation (EC) N° 88/98 of 
OJ No L 226, 29.8.1980, p. 48. 
OJNoL 132,23.5.1997, p. 1. 
18 December 1997 laying down certain technical measures for the 
conservation of fishery resources in the waters of the Baltic Sea, the Belts 
and the Sound6 require temporary derogation for 1999 in order to implement 
new conditions set out on the basis of recently available scientific advice; 
16. 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 1999; 
17. Whereas the rebuilding of the stock of herring in the North Sea requires that 
the special management measures stipulated in Regulation (EC) No 1602/967 
should be continued in 1999; 
18. Whereas the conditions defined in Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 
390/97 of 20 December 1996 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of 
fish stocks the total allowable catches for 1997 and certain conditions under 
which they may be fished, for fishing for sprat in ICES Division Ilia should 
be maintained; 
19. Whereas, for imperative reasons of common interest, this Regulation will 
apply from 1 January 1999, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

by catch rates of herring, in particular juveniles, are known to occur. 
Article 10 
Commission inspectors shall, in accordance with Article 29 of Regulation (EEC) No 
2847/93 and whenever the Commission deems it necessary for the purposes of this 
Regulation, carry out independent inspections to verify the implementation by the 
competent authorities of the sampling programmes and of the detailed measures 
mentioned in Articles 8 and 9 of this Regulation. 
Article 11 
The Commission shall prohibit landings of herring if it is deemed that implementation 
of the measures mentioned in Articles 8 and 9 does not constitute a sufficient 
guarantee that a strict control of fishing mortality of herring in all fisheries is being 
achieved. 
Article 12 
1. All landings of herring caught in ICES areas Ilia, IV and Vlld by vessels which 
carry on board only towed nets only of minimum mesh sizes equal to or greater than 
10 
32 mm, while taking these catches in these areas, will be counted against a relevant 
quota as defined in Annex I to this Regulation. 
2. All landings of herring caught in ICES areas Ilia, IV and Vlld by vessels which 
carry on board towed nets of minimum mesh size less than 32 mm, while taking these 
catches in these areas, will be counted against a relevant quota as defined in Annex II 
to this Regulation.

ANNEXIV 
Exit windows (model 1) 
Two exit windows with plastic coated, fully opened diamond meshes shall be attached 
to the codend of trawls and Danish seines in the cod fishery. The mesh opening shall 
be no less than 105 mm. The exit windows shall be attached with a separate piece of 
netting (between the ordinary diamond meshes and the meshes of the exit window). 
The mesh size of the separate netting shall be identical to the bar length of the exit 
window times the square root of two. 
The exit window shall be attached on both sides of the codend, and the distance 
between the rear end of the codend and the window shall be 40 to 50 cm. The length 
of the window shall be 80 % of the total length of the codend and the height of the 
window shall be 50 cm. Figure 1 .The window shall be mounted in a way that gives an 
opening between the upper and lower seams of the window of 15 to 20 cm. 
Exit window (model 2) 
Identification of the window 
The windows shall be rectangular sections of netting in the codend. There shall be two 
windows in the codend. 
Size of the window 
Each window shall have a minimum width of 45 cm along its entire length. Each 
window shall have a minimum length of 3,5 m measured along its sides (Figure 2) 
and the length of the window shall not be less than 80 % of the total length of the 
codend. 
Netting of the window 
The meshes in the windows shall have a minimum size of 105 mm. They shall be 
square meshes, i.e. all four sides of the window netting will be cut by all bars . The 
netting shall be mounted such that the bars run parallel and perpendicular to the length 
of the codend .The window width shall be eight open square meshes. 
(&\ 
Location of the window 
The codend shall be divided into upper and lower panels by selvedges running down 
the port and starboard sides. The two windows shall be located in the lower panel, 
immediately adjacent to and below the selvedges. The windows shall terminate 
between 40-50 from the codline . Figure 2 
The forward end of the window shall be joined to eight meshes' width of the normal 
codend netting. One side shall join to the selvedge or be joined immediately adjacent 
to the selvedge and the other side shall be joined to the normal codend lower panel 
netting following a straight line of meshes all knots cut. 
Mesh size in the whole codend 
All parts of the codend shall conform to a minimum mesh size of 105 mm.
