COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 822/98

of 17 April 1998

concerning the stopping of fishing for horse mackerel by vessels flying the flag of
Portugal

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93
of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applic-
able to the common fisheries policy (1), as last amended
by Regulation (EC) No 2635/97 (2), and in particular
Article 21(3) thereof,

Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 45/98 of 19
December 1997 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 (3), as
last amended by Regulation (EC) No 783/98 (4), provides
for horse mackerel quotas for 1998;

Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provi-
sions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of
stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commis-
sion to fix the date by which catches made by vessels
flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have
exhausted the quota allocated;

Whereas the quota of horse mackerel in the waters of
ICES divisions Vb (EC-zone), VI, VII, VIIIa, b, d, e, XII
and XIV, allocated to Portugal
for 1998, has been
exhausted by exchanges of quota; whereas Portugal has

prohibited fishing for this stock as from 30 March 1998;
whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The quota of horse mackerel in the waters of ICES divi-
sions Vb (EC-zone), VI, VII, VIII a, b, d, e, XII and XIV,
allocated to Portugal for 1998, is deemed to be exhausted.

Fishing for horse mackerel in the waters of ICES divisions
Vb (EC-zone), VI, VII, VIII a, b, d, e, XII and XIV by
vessels flying the flag of Portugal or registered in Portugal
is prohibited, as well as the retention on board, the tran-
shipment and the landing of such stock captured by the
abovementioned vessels after the date of application of
this Regulation.

Article 2

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

It shall apply with effect from 30 March 1998.

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

Opinion of the European Monetary Institute at the request of the Dutch Ministry of Finance under Article 109f (6) of the Treaty establishing the European Community (the “Treaty”), Article 5.3 of the Statute of the EMI and Council Decision 93/717/EC of 22 November 1993, concerning a draft law on redenomination of debt (the “Draft Law”) (CON/98/19)
Date: 1998-04-17
Institutions: European Monetary Institute
Subjects: Netherlands, debt, euro, euro area, money, public debt, securities

OPINION OF THE EUROPEAN MONETARY INSTITUTE

at the request of the Dutch Ministry of Finance under Article 109f (6) of the Treaty
establishing the European Community (the “Treaty”), Article 5.3 of the Statute of the EMI

and Council Decision 93/717/EC of 22 November 1993,

concerning a draft law on redenomination of debt (the “Draft Law”)

(CON/98/19)

1.

On 31 March 1998, the EMI received a request, dated 17 March 1998, from the Dutch Minister

of Finance for an opinion on the Draft Law.

2.

The EMI’s competence to deliver an opinion is based on Article 1.1, first indent, of the Council

Decision (93/717/EC) of 22 November 1993 on the consultation of the EMI by the authorities of

the Member States on draft legislative provisions, as the Draft Law deals with currency law.

3.

The  Draft  Law  aims  at  laying  down  and  implementing  the  modalities  of  the  redenomination  of

(public  and  private)  debt  securities  governed  by  the  Dutch  Law.  The  method  used  is  the

rounding of debt to one of the two nearest whole euro units. In case of rounding down, a sum in

cash for the difference is payable to the holder [which will remain interest-bearing].

4.

The EMI welcomes the approach chosen by the Draft Law. The Draft Law is instrumental to a

deeper  and  broader  financial  integration  in  the  euro  zone,  as  redenomination  of  debt  will  both

provide  for  more  liquid  markets  and  make  the  life  of  market  practitioners  easier,  in  particular

when  national  denominations  will  disappear  from  the  secondary  markets  of  highly  traded  debt

securities. The EMI has, finally, no comments to make regarding specific provisions of the Draft

Law.

The  EMI  confirms  that  it  has  no  objection  to  this  opinion  being  made  public  by  the  competent  Dutch

authorities at their discretion.
