EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

^ 

The  Community,  under  Council  Regulation  (EC)  no  3364/94,  has  allocated  to  the  Faroe 
Islands  a quota for  mackerel  in Community waters. 

Following a decision to reduce the mackerel TAC for biological reasons,  the Community and 
the  Faroe  Islands  have  held  consultations  which  resulted  in  an  agreement  to  reduce  the 
Parties*  quotas  for  mackerel  in the  other Party's  zone.  As  a result,  the Parties  agreed  to 
reduce  the  Faroese  catch  quota  for  mackerel  in  Community  waters  from  7,410  tonnes  to 
5,890  tonnes. 

It is,  therefore,  proposed  to amend the above Council  Regulation accordingly.
