COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 783/98

of 7 April 1998

amending Regulation (EC) No 45/98 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of
fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1998 and certain conditions under
which they may be fished

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

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 Regulation (EC) No 45/98 (2) fixes, for certain
fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the TACs for 1998
and certain conditions under which they may be fished;

Whereas it is desirable to set new TACs for 1998 in order
to limit the catches of a number of additional fish stocks
or group of fish stocks in the North Sea; whereas these
TACs should be allocated among Member States in
accordance with Article 8(4) of Regulation (EEC) No
3760/92;

Whereas Regulation (EC) No 45/98 should therefore be
amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The tables in Annexes I and II to this Regulation shall be
inserted, respectively, in Annexes I and III to Regulation
(EC) No 45/98 in the appropriate species.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day
following that of its publication in the Official Journal of
the European Communities.

It shall apply from 1 January 1998.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member
States.

Done at Luxembourg, 7 April 1998.
