COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES 
Brussels, 21.12.1995 
COM(95) 741 final 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) 
fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total 
allowable catches for 1996 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 1996, 
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. 
It should be noted that, in accordance with a declaration of the Council and the Commission 
of 4 January 1995 (SN 355/1/94 (PECHE) REV 1), three new stocks of horse mackerel in the 
vicinity of the Azores, Madeira and the Canary Islands are referred to in this proposal. 
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 1996 were concluded. 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 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 arc 
included in the annual consultations with Norway. 
Given that certain technical measures should be implemented as from 1 January 1996, 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: 
C^ 
The prohibition for beam trawling in the Southern North Sea, establishedjn Article 
9(3) of Regulation (EEC) No3094/86 (Plaice box), is extended to the whole year 1996. 
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 sustainability of the resource. This is dealt with by a footnote attached to the 
corresponding quotas.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No. /95 
of 1995 
fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total 
allowable catches for 1996 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 1985 Act of Accession, and in particular Articles 157, 161 and 348 
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; 
O.J. No L389, 31.12.1992, p.l 
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 the second subparagraph of Article 8(4)(ii); 
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 fleets under their flag or jurisdiction; 
Whereas, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 2 of the Agreement on 
fisheries between the European Community and the Government of Denmark ancfthe Home 
Government of the Faroe Islands of the other part2, the parties have consulted on their 
reciprocal fishing rights for 1996; 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 Norway3, the 
Community and Norway have held consultations concerning mutual fishing rights for 1996; 
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 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; 
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 
~ O.J. No L226, 29.08.1980, p.12 
3 OJ No L226, 29.08.1980, p.48 
2 
fishing activity and the contribution made hitherto by the Community towards their 
conservation should be taken into account; 
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, in the case of certain stocks fished mainly for reduction to meal and oil, it does not 
appear necessary to make quota allocations; 
Whereas Article 161 of the 1985 Act of Accession fixes the share of the TACs allocated to 
Spain for certain stocks in certain zones and allocates flat-rate amounts of horse mackerel and 
blue whiting to Spain; 
Whereas those flat-rate amounts of blue whiting must be divided among ICES sub-areas and 
divisions Vb (EC zone), VI, VII and Villa, b and d; 
Whereas, pursuant to Article 158 of the 1985 Act of Accession, a distinction must be made 
between fishing for demersal species and fishing for species other than demersal; whereas the 
group to which blue whiting, anchovy and horse mackerel belong must therefore be defined; 
Whereas, in order to ensure effective management of these TAC's, the specific conditions 
under which fishing operations occur should be established; 
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 order to ensure a better exploitation of the haddock stocks in zones Vb (EC 
zone), VI, XII and XIV, catches in zones Vb and Via should be limited; 
Whereas massive catches of young flatfish are being 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 Parlies with effect 
from 1 January 1996; 
Whereas, pursuant to Article 122 of the 1994 Act of Accession, the conditions under which 
allocations made in the framework of the Accession can be fished will remain identical to 
those applicable immediately prior to the entry in force of the 1994 Treaty of Accession; 
Whereas improved economical utilization of certain 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 the management regime set out by Council Regulation (EC) No 2027/95 establishing 
a system for the management of fishing effort relating to certain Community fishing areas and 
resources4 requires the maintenance of the existing balances in fishing activities; whereas, in 
the case of certain stocks of horse mackerel, these balances can be kept by setting appropriate 
TACs and allocating them to the Member States concerned; 
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 sustainability of the resource.
