Brussels, 22 October 1993 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) 
amending for the second time Regulation (EEQ No.3919/92 
fixing,for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, 
the total allowable catches for 1993 and certain conditions under which they may be 
fished 
(presented by the Commission)

SL 
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. 
Consultations between the Community and Estonia, held in Brussels on 15 and 16 July 1993, 
resulted in an agreement defining reciprocal fisheries arrangements for 1993 in the Baltic Sea. 
In addition, the conditions of fishing stipulated with Norway for 1993 establish certain rules 
of access of Community fishermen to Norwegian waters and these should be implemented. 
Finally, the TAC s for sprat in the North Sea, sole in area III and for Norway lobster to the 
West of Scotland appear insufficient to maintain exploitation for the whole of 1993. 
The aim of the present proposal for a Council Regulation is to implement the agreements 
mentioned above and to increase the TAC s for sprat in the North Sea, sole in area HI and 
for Norway lobster to the West of Scotland by modifying Regulation (EEC) N° 3919/92 of 
20 December 19922. •

Proposal for a 
Council Regulation (EEC) No /93 of 1993 
amending for the second time Regulation (EEC) No.3919/92 
fixing,for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks,

fished 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic 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 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 fishing opportunities should be allocated to Member States in accordance 
to the second sub-paragraph of Article 8(4)(ii); 
Whereas it is therefore necessary to establish principles and certain procedures at Community 
level so that each Member State can assure the management of the fishing activities of vessels 
flying its flag; 
OJ. No L389, 31.12.1992, p.l 
tac/2modif93/r/eo/mr

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No.3919/922, as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 661/933, fixes, 
for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the TACs for 1991 and certain conditions 
under which they may be fished; 
Whereas, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 3 of the Agreement on 
fisheries between the European Economic Community and the Republic of Estonia4, the 
parties have consulted on their reciprocal fishing rights for 1993 in the Baltic Sea; whereas 
these consultations have been concluded and it is possible, in consequence, to fix definitively 
the TACs and the Community shares available for the stocks in this area; 
Whereas, for certain stocks managed jointly with Norway it is necessary to determine which 
part may be fished in Norwegian waters; 
Whereas, within the framework of the bilateral consultations on the reciprocal fishing rights 
between the Community and Sweden, the share of the Baltic cod and herring allocated to 
Sweden for 1993 have been decreased and the share of the TAC for northern deepwater 
prawn in Ilia allocated to Sweden has been increased for the same period; 
Whereas the state of the stocks of sprat in the North Sea, sole in area III and of Norway 
lobster to the west of Scotland allow increases in their respective TACs without endangering 
the future management of these resources; 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
