EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

The objective of the following proposal is to amend Council Regulation 
(EEC) n° 3094/86  of  7 October  1986Ï1),  laying down  certain technical 
measures for the conservation of fishery resources. 

Article  8  of  the  said  Regulation  indicates  that  the  box  for  the 
protection of juvenile mackerel from the western stock will cease to be 
effective  beginning  on  1  January  1992  "unless  the  Council,  on  a 
proposal from the Commission, decides otherwise by a qualified majority 
on 30 November  1991 at the latest in the light of the situation of the 
Western mackerel stock." 

In  the  light  of  the  most  recent  scientific  advice,  the  Commission 
proposes that the said box be maintained.

PROPOSAL 

FOR COUNCIL REGULATION  (EEC) No 

/91 

AMENDING FOR THE THIRTEENTH TIME REGULATION  (EEC) No 3094/86 

LAYING DOWN CERTAIN TECHNICAL MEASURES FOR 

THE CONSERVATION  OF FISHERY RESOURCES 

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^),  as  amended  by  the Act  of  Accession  of  Spain  and 

Portugal, and  in particular Article 11 thereof, 

Having  regard to the proposal  from the Commission, 

Whereas  Article  8  of  Council  Regulation  (EEC)  No  3094/86  of 

7 October  1986  laying  down  certain  technical  measures  for  the 

conservation  of  fishery  resources(^) /  as  last  amended  by 

^ ), 

defines  an  area  for  the  protection  of  juvenile  mackerel  where  fishing 

is prohibited,  and whereas  in the absence of  a Council  decision  before 

30  November  1991  that  prohibition  could  cease  to  apply  as  from  1 

January 1992; 

Whereas  the  most  recent  scientific  advice  recommends  that  the 

prohibition  be  maintained  in the  interests  of  the  conservation  of  the 

western mackerel  stock; whereas the said regulation  should therefore be 

amended  in order to preserve that provision,
