COUNCIL  REGULATION  (EC)  No  48/1999

of  18  December  1998

fixing,  for  certain  fish  stocks  and  groups  of  fish  stocks,  the  total  allowable  catches  for
1999  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  1994  Act  of  Accession,  and  in
particular  Articles  121  and  122  thereof,

Having  regard  to  the  proposal  from  the  Commission,

(1)  Whereas  Article  4  of  Regulation 

(EEC)  No
3760/92  requires  the  Council  to  formulate,  in  the
light  of  the  available  scientific  advice  and,  in
particular,  of  the  report  prepared  by  the  Scientific,
Technical  and  Economic  Committee  for  Fisheries,
the  measures  necessary  to  ensure  the  rational  and
responsible 
resources  on  a
sustainable basis;

(2)  Whereas  a  management  regime  making  full  use  of
the  new  management  possibilities  given  by
Regulation  (EEC)  No  3760/92,  and  in  particular
the  management  of  catch 
limitations  on  a
pluriannual  and  multispecies  basis,  cannot  yet  be
achieved,  due  to  the  need  to  put  into  force  certain
measures  for  the  control  of  fisheries,  to  further
develop  the  appropriate  administrative  framework

for  a  system  of  limitation  of  fishing  effort,  and  to
enhance scientific knowledge; whereas, until such a
management  regime  is  consolidated,  limitation  of
exploitation  rates  should  be  guaranteed  by  the
current  TAC  system;

(3)  Whereas,  under  the  terms  of  Article  8(4)  of
Regulation  (EEC)  No  3760/92,  it  is  incumbent
upon the Council, in accordance with Article 4, to
establish  the  total  allowable  catches  (TAC)  by
fishery  or  group  of  fisheries;  whereas  fishing
opportunities  should  be  allocated  to  Member
States  in  accordance  with  Article  8(4)(ii)  of  that
Regulation;

(4)  Whereas  it  is  necessary  to  establish  the  principles
and  certain  procedures  of  fishery  management  at
the  Community  level,  so  that  Member  States  can
ensure  the  management  of  the  vessels  flying  their
flag;

(5)  Whereas,  in  order  to  ensure  effective  management
of these TACs, the specific conditions under which
fishing  operations  occur  should  be  established;

(6)  Whereas,  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  laid
down  in  Article  2  of  Council  Regulation  (EC)  No
847/96  of  6  May  1996  introducing  additional
conditions  for  year-to-year  management  of  TACs
and  quotas (2),  it  is  necessary  to  indicate  which
stocks  are  subject  to  the  various  measures  fixed
therein;

Article  7

As regards the herring stock of the North Sea and of the
eastern  English  Channel,  transfers  of  up  to  50 %  of  the
quotas may be effected from ICES Divisions IVc and VIId
to  ICES  Division  IVb.

As  regards  the  hake  stock  in  zones  IIa  (EC  zone)  and  IV
(EC  zone),  Member  States  having  a  quota  in  this  zone
may,  on  exhaustion  of  this  quota,  make  transfers  from
zones  Vb  (EC  zone),  VI,  VII,  XII  and  XIV  and  from
zones  VIIIa,  b  and  d  to  zone  IIa  (EC  zone)  and  IV  (EC
zone).

However,  such  transfers  must  be  notified  in  advance  to
the  Commission.

Commission  deems  it  necessary  for  the  purposes  of  this
Regulation,  carry  out  independent  inspections  to  verify
the  implementation  by  the  competent  authorities  of  the
sampling  programmes  and  of  the  detailed  measures
mentioned  in  Articles  8  and  9  of  this  Regulation.

Article  11

The Commission shall prohibit landings of herring if it is
deemed  that  implementation  of  the  measures  mentioned
in  Articles  8  and  9  does  not  constitute  a  sufficient
guarantee  that  a  strict  control  of  fishing  mortality  of
herring  in  all  fisheries  is  being  achieved.

Article  12

Article  8

Member  States  where  there  occur  landings  of  herring
unsorted  from  the  remainder  of  the  catch  shall  ensure
that adequate sampling programmes are in place in order
to  monitor  effectively  all  landings  of  by-catches  of
herring.

1. All  landings  of  herring  caught  in  ICES  areas  IIIa,  IV
and  VIId  by  vessels  which  carry  on  board  only  towed
nets  of  minimum  mesh  sizes  equal  to  or  greater  than  32
mm,  while  taking  these  catches  in  these  areas,  will  be
counted against a relevant quota as defined in Annex I to
this  Regulation.

It  shall  be  prohibited  to  land  catches  of  fish  containing
unsorted

Exit  windows  (model  1)

ANNEX  IV

Two  exit  windows  with  plastic  coated,  fully  opened  diamond  meshes  shall  be  attached  to  the  codend  of
trawls  and  Danish  seines  in  the  code  fishery.  The  mesh  opening  shall  be  no  less  than  105  mm.  The  exit
window  shall  be  attached  with  a  separate  piece  of  netting  (between  the  ordinary  diamond  meshes  and  the
meshes of the exit window). The mesh size of the separate netting shall be identical to the bar length of the
exit  window  times  the  square  root  of  two.

The  exit  window  shall  be  attached  on  both  sides  of  the  codend,  and  the  distance  between  the  rear  end  of
the  codend  and  the  window  shall  be  40  to  50  cm.  The  length  of  the  window  shall  be  80 %  of  the  total
length of the codend and the height of the window shall be 50 cm (Figure 1). The window shall be mounted
in  a  way  that  gives  an  opening  between  the  upper  and  lower  seams  of  the  window  of  15  to  20  cm.

Exit  windows  (model  2)

Identification  of  the  windows

The  windows  shall  be  rectangular  sections  of  netting  in  the  codend.  There  shall  be  two  windows  in  the
codend.

Size  of  the  windows

Each  window  shall  have  a  minimum  width  of  45  cm  along  its  entire  length.  Each  window  shall  have  a
minimum length of 3,5 m measured along its sides (Figure 2) and the length of the window shall not be less
than  80 %  of  the  total  length  of  the  codend.

Netting  of  the  windows

The meshes in the windows shall have a minimum size of 105 mm. They shall be square meshes, i.e. all four
sides  of  the  window  netting  will  be  cut  by  all  bars.  The  netting  shall  be  mounted  such  that  the  bars  run
parallel  and  perpendicular  to  the  length  of  the  codend.  The  window  width  shall  be  eight  open  square
meshes.

Location  of  the  windows

The codend shall be divided into upper and lower panels by selvedges running down the port and starboard
sides.  The  two  windows  shall  be  located  in  the  lower  panel,  immediately  adjacent  to  and  below  the
selvedges.  The  windows  shall  terminate  between  40-50  cm  from  the  codline  (Figure  2).

The  forward  end  of  the  window  shall  be  joined  to  eight  meshes’  width  of  the  normal  codend  netting.  One
side shall join to the selvedge or be joined immediately adjacent to the selvedge and the other side shall be
joined  to  the  normal  codend  lower  panel  netting  following  a  straight  line  of  meshes  all  knots  cut.

Mesh  size  in  the  whole  codend

All  parts  of  the  codend  shall  confirm  to  a  minimum  mesh  size  of  105  mm.
