Proposal  for  a 

COUNCIL  REGULATION (EC) 

amending for  the second time Regulation  (EC) No.3362/94 
fixing,  for  certain fish  stocks and groups of fish stocks, 
the total  allowable  catches for  1995 and certain  conditions  under which  they may be 
fished 

(presented  by the  Commission) 

EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

The  objective  of the present  proposal  is to  fix  fishing  possibilities  for  certain  stocks of  fish 
and to allocate these equitably to Member  States.  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)  n° 3760/92  of  the  Council  of 
20 December  19921, establishing  a Community  regime  for  fishing  and  aquaculture. 

By virtue  of the recommendations  agreed during the 21th session of the International  Baltic 
Sea  Fisheries  Commission,  the  Community  has  obtained  an  additional  quota  of  cod  in  the 
Baltic  Sea for  1995. 

This  proposal  intends  to  address  this  matter  by  modifying  Council  Regulation  (EC) 
N° 3362/94. 

Increases  in  the  TACs  of  other  stocks  have  not  been  granted.  The  Members  States,  from 
whom  the  corresponding  pleas  originated,  have  been  requested  to  forward  additional 
justifications.
