COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 654/81
of 10 March 1981
amending Regulation (EEC) No 3179/78 concerning the conclusion by the European Economic Community of the Convention on future multilateral cooperation in the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas the Community, by Council Regulation (EEC) No 3179/78 (2), approved the Convention on future multilateral cooperation in the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries;

Whereas the text of the Convention has consequently been amended by Regulation (EEC) No 653/80 (3), the application of which was, however, limited to 31 December 1980, since it was adopted as an interim measure on the basis of Article 103 of the Treaty;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to provide for the definitive amendment of Regulation (EEC) No 3179/78,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Paragraphs 1 (a) and 2 (a) of Annex III to the Convention on future multilateral cooperation in the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries, published in the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 3179/78, shall be amended in conformity with the Annex to this Regulation.
