Proposal for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION  fEO 

amending  Council  Regulation  (EC)  No  3365/94  allocating,  for  1995, 
certain catch quotas between Member  States  for  vessels  fishing  in Faroese  waters 

(presented by the  Commission) 

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

The Community,  under  Council Regulation (EC) No 3365/94,  allocated to Member  States 
catch possibilities  for  mackerel  in Faroese 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  Community  catch quota  for  mackerel  in  Faroese  waters  from  6,170  tonnes  to 
4,910 tonnes. 

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

Parties have had further  consultations on their reciprocal  fishing  rights  for  1995; 

Whereas these consultations have been concluded and, as a result, the above mentioned catch 
quota allocated to the Community has been reduced; 

Whereas, to ensure efficient  management of the catch possibilities  available, they should be 
allocated among Member States as quotas in accordance with Article 8 of Council Regulation 
(EC)  No 3760/92,
