COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1262/2005

of 1 August 2005

amending Council Regulation (EC) No 27/2005 as regards fishing opportunities for herring in zones
I and II

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty
Community,

establishing the European

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 27/2005 of 22
December 2004 fixing for 2005 the fishing opportunities and
associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of fish
stocks, applicable in Community waters and, for Community
vessels, in waters where catch limitations are required (1), and in
particular Article 5(4) thereof,

Whereas:

While awaiting a long-term management agreement on
the herring stock with the coastal States concerned, it is
appropriate for the Community to increase its quota
provisionally by the
same percentage of 14 % to
89 537 tonnes in zones I, II (EC waters and international
waters). This is from a scientific point of view unlikely to
have any irreversible negative effect on the conservation
of the stock.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture.

Regulation (EC) No 27/2005 should therefore be
amended accordingly,

Article 5(4) of Regulation (EC) No 27/2005 lays down
the possibility to increase the Community’s
fishing
opportunities for blue whiting and herring when third
countries do not respect a responsible management of
those stocks.

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

In disregard of the allocation of fishing opportunities in
zones I and II applied by the coastal States concerned
since 1997, Norway has recently increased its fishing
opportunities of herring by an additional quantity of
14 %.
that Norway does not
respect a responsible management of the herring stock.
