COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 921/98

of 28 April 1998

concerning the stopping of fishing for cod, haddock and plaice by vessels flying
the flag of Belgium

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),
provides for cod, haddock and plaice 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 quotas of cod in the waters of ICES division
III a Skagerrak, of haddock in the waters of ICES divi-
sions III a, III b, c, d (EC-zone) and of plaice in the waters
of ICES division III a Skagerrak, allocated to Belgium for
1998, have been exhausted by exchanges of quotas;
whereas Belgium has prohibited fishing for these stocks

as from 1 January 1998; whereas it is therefore necessary
to abide by that date,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The quotas of cod in the waters of ICES division III a
Skagerrak, of haddock in the waters of ICES divisions
III a, III b, c, d (EC-zone) and of plaice in the waters of
ICES division III a Skagerrak allocated to Belgium for
1998, are deemed to be exhausted.

Fishing for cod in the waters of ICES division III a
Skagerrak, for haddock in the waters of ICES divisions
III a, III b, c, d (EC-zone) and for plaice in the waters of
ICES division III a Skagerrak, by vessels flying the flag of
Belgium or registered in Belgium is prohibited, as well as
the retention on board, the transhipment and the landing
of such stocks 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 1 January 1998.

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

Done at Brussels, 28 April 1998.

WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1245/98 by Leonie van BLADEL to the Council. Distribution of free euro-calculators to those on low incomes  


Official Journal C 323 , 21/10/1998 P. 0118 





WRITTEN QUESTION E-1245/98 by Leonie van Bladel (UPE) to the Council (28 April 1998)Subject: Distribution of free euro-calculators to those on low incomes1. Is the Council aware that introduction of the euro will entail extra costs for consumers as they will be forced to purchase pocket calculators?2. Will the Council take steps to ensure that those in lower income groups, including the elderly and retired, receive pocket calculators free of charge?3. What other extra costs will consumers face as a result of introduction of the euro?4. Will the Council ensure that those in lower income groups, including the elderly and retired, do not have to bear these other extra costs, if any?Answer (6 July 1998)1. The Council does not intend to arrange for pocket calculators to be distributed to those in lower income groups when the euro is introduced as the single currency of participating Member States, either free of charge or otherwise.It should be noted in this connection that it is up to the Member States to conduct, possibly with assistance from the Community budget, the information policy which they consider most appropriate to facilitate the introduction of the euro.2. As regards extra costs that consumers might face as a result of the introduction of the euro, the Council, at its meeting on 2 May 1998, welcomed the attention paid to the practical aspects of the introduction of the euro and considered that the recommendations of the Commission of 23 April 1998 on banking charges for conversion to the euro and on dual display of prices and other monetary amounts can form a useful complement to the relevant national preparations.The rules of good practice thus recommended by the Commission which are based on the principles that conversions from the national currency unit to the euro unit should in principle be free of charge and that rounding to the nearest cent must be adhered to, were considered to be helpful by the Council in facilitating the transition to the euro, in particular in the light of ongoing consumer concerns.
