COUNCIL  REGULATION  (EC)  No  50/1999

of  18  December  1998

laying down, for 1999, certain measures for the conservation and management of fishery
resources  applicable  to  vessels  flying  the  flag  of  Norway

THE  COUNCIL  OF  THE  EUROPEAN  UNION,

Whereas  it  is  for  the  Council  to  lay  down  the  specific
conditions  under  which  such  catches  must  be  taken;

Having  regard  to  the  Treaty  establishing  the  European
Community,

Having  regard  to  Council  Regulation  (EEC)  No  3760/92
of  20  December  1992  establishing  a  Community  system
for  fisheries  and  aquaculture (1)  and  in  particular  Article
8(4)  thereof,

Having  regard  to  the  proposal  from  the  Commission,

Whereas,  in  accordance  with  the  procedure  provided  for
in  Articles  2  and  7  of  the  Fisheries  Agreement  between
the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of
Norway (2),  the  Community  and  Norway  have  held
consultations  concerning  their  mutual  fishing  rights  for
1999  and 
the  management  of  common  biological
resources;

Whereas, 
in  the  course  of  these  consultations,  the
delegations  agreed  to  recommend  to  their  respective
authorities  that  certain  catch  quotas  for  1999  should  be
fixed  for  the  vessels  of  the  other  party;

Whereas  the  Agreement  of  19  December  1966  between
Denmark,  Norway  and  Sweden  on  reciprocal  access  to
fishing  in  the  Skagerrak  and  Kattegat  provides  that  each
party  shall  grant  vessels  of  the  other  parties  access  to  its
fishing zone in the Skagerrak and part of the Kattegat up
to  four  nautical  miles  from  the  baselines;

Whereas,  in  a  setting  comprising  the  Community,  the
Faeroes,  Iceland,  Norway  and  the  Russian  Federation,
consultations  were  also  held  on  the  management  and
sharing 
herring
(Atlanto-Scandian  herring)  in  1999;

of  Norwegian 

spring-spawning 

Whereas these consultations led, inter alia,  to  subsequent
arrangements  on  reciprocal  access,  under  which  Norway
may  fish  9 000  tonnes  of  its  share  in  Community  fishing
waters  north  of  62°  N;

Whereas  the  fishing  activities  covered  by  this  Regulation
are  subject  to  the  control  measures  provided  for  in
Council  Regulation  (EEC)  No  2847/93  of  12  October
1993  establishing  a  control  system  applicable  to  the
common  fisheries  policy (3);

Whereas  Article  3(2)  of  Commission  Regulation  (EEC)
No  1381/87  of  20  May  1987,  establishing  detailed  rules
concerning  the  marking  and  documentation  of  fishing
vessels (4),  provides  that  all  vessels  with  chilled  or
refrigerated  sea-water  tanks  are  to  keep  on  board  a
document  certified  by  a  competent  authority  and
specifying  the  calibration  of  the  tanks  in  cubic  metres  at
10-centimetre  intervals;

Whereas, for imperative reasons of common interest, this
Regulation  will  apply  from  1  January  1999,

HAS  ADOPTED  THIS  REGULATION:
