Proposal for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION 

amending Regulation (EU) No 23/2010 as regards the fishing opportunities for certain 
fish stocks and following the conclusion of the bilateral fisheries arrangements for 2010 
with Norway and the Faroe Islands  

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 

Having  regard  to  Treaty  the  on  the  Functioning  of  the  European  Union,  and  in  particular 
Article 43(3) thereof, 

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission1, 

Whereas: 

(1) 

(2) 

(3) 

(4) 

Council  Regulation  (EU)  No  23/20102  fixes  for  2010  the  fishing  opportunities  for 
certain  fish  stocks  and  groups  of  fish  stocks  applicable  in  EU  waters  and,  for  EU 
vessels, in waters where catch limitations are required. 

The  fishing  opportunities  for  EU  vessels  in  the  waters  of  Norway  and  the  Faroe 
Islands and in EU waters for stocks shared, jointly managed or exchanged with those 
countries as well as the fishing opportunities in EU waters for vessels flying the flag of 
Norway and the Faroe Islands are established each year following the consultation on 
fishing rights held in accordance with the procedure provided for in the agreements or 
protocols on fisheries relations with those countries3. 

Pending  the  conclusion  of  the  consultations  on  the  arrangements  for  2010  with 
Norway and the Faroe Islands, Regulation (EU) No 23/2010 fixes provisional fishing 
opportunities for the concerned fish stocks.  

On  15  January  and  26  January  2010,  the  consultations  with  the  Faroe  Islands  and 
respectively  Norway  have  been  concluded  and  the  arrangements  for  the  fishing 
opportunities  for  2010  established.  As  a  consequence,  it  is  necessary  to  replace  the 
provisional fishing opportunities for the concerned fish stocks for 2010 as established 
in Regulation (EU) No 23/2010 with the fishing opportunities corresponding to those 
arrangements.  

(5) 

At its Annual Meeting in 2009, the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission 
reconfirmed that as from 1 January 2010 two high seas areas in the Convention area

introduced  a  limit  on  catches  for  swordfish  for  each  member.  It  is  necessary  to 
implement these new provisions into EU law.
