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),

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas:

(1) Within the framework of the International Baltic Sea
Fisheries Commission, the Republic of Poland has trans-
ferred 20 000 tonnes of herring in the Baltic Sea to the
Community.

(2)

An agreement has been reached between the European
Community, on behalf of Sweden, and the Republic of
Poland whereby 2 500 tonnes of sprat in the Baltic Sea
has been transferred to Sweden.

(3) Within the Agreement on fisheries relations between the
European Community and the Republic of Lithuania (2),
4 000 tonnes of sprat has been transferred to the
Community.

(4) Within the framework of the bilateral consultations on
the reciprocal fishing rights between the Community
and the Russian Federation for 2000, the Community
shares for Baltic sprat and cod have been amended.

(5)

(6)

Regulation (EC) No 2742/1999 (3) should therefore be
amended accordingly.

In order to ensure the livelihood of Community fish-
ermen, it is important to open these fisheries before 31
December 2000; given the urgency of the matter, it is
imperative to grant an exception to the six-week period
mentioned in paragraph 1(3) of the Protocol on the role
of national Parliaments of the European Union, annexed
to the Treaty of Amsterdam,
