Proposal  for  a 

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) 

amending Council Regulation  (EC) No. 3079/95 allocating, for  1996, 
Community  catch  quotas  in Greenland waters 

(presented  by the  Commission) 

EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

Pursuant  to the provisions  of Article  1 paragraph  2 of the  Third  EC/Greenland  Protocol  (1\ 
the  Community  is  entitled  to  70%  of  the  Greenland  share  of  the  capelin  TAC  minus 
10,000 tonnes to the Faroe Islands. Council Regulation  (EC) No. 3079/95  (2) established  the 
corresponding  Community catch quota on the basis of a provisional TAC of 950,000 tonnes. 
This TAC has been revised  in the meantime  and  set at  1,100,000 tonnes.  Consequently,  the 
quota  available to the  Community  has increased  to  62,050 tonnes. 

The  objective  of this proposal  is to  implement  the measures  resulting  from  the  variation  of 
the underlying TAC.
