     For b o t h      the     east     and west       Greenland           cod s t o c k s , the         management           objective
     recommended            by t h e      scientists         is   to    rebuild         the      spawning      stock     quickly        to    a
     much h i g h e r        level      than    at   present         in order         to     ensure     higher      average        levels        of
     recruitment.                  This     assumes a d e p e n d e n c y          of    recruitment         upon the          size   of     the

 water       temperatures             at    the     time of       spawning.                The     situation       is     further
 complicated            at    east      G r e e n l a n d by the         partial         emigration        of   cod to          spawn    in

are     especially       dependent           on   fisheries        and    related       industries       as    decided       by   the
Council       in  its    Resolution            of   3 November         1976 and       in  particular         Annex     VII      thereto,
in    accordance       with       Council       Regulation         ( E E C ) No    170/83.
The     Commission p a r t i c u l a r l y          draws       the    attention       of  any    Member        State     for    which
application        of    Annex        VII    of   the   Hague      Resolution         of  3 November          1976    results       in
quota      allocations          for    1983     significantly            greater      than   catches        in   1982 t o      the
terms      of   Article      5,    paragraph          1 of    the    Basic     Regulation       (1)    and a s k s     the     member
 States      concerned to           er.cnange       with    other      member      States    the   e x c e s s 'beyond        estimated

The     conditions       under       which      the    TACs      may b e    fished      remain    essentially          the     same
as     in   Regulation       No     172/83      with    the      notable      exception      of   Articles         4,  8 and      9.
Article       4 collates          the    provisions         on b y - c a t c h e s ,  hitherto       contained           in
Article       4 and    Article         8 paragraphs            1 -   3 of     Regulation       No.172/83.           The
Commission        has    attempted           to   clarify        these    provisions       in   the     light     of    the
declaration         ad   Article         4 of     Regulation         No 1 7 2 / 8 3   made   at   the    Council        of

In    conformity       with       the     Council      Declaration          of   25   January     1983,       the    Commission
will      present    a report          to    the    Council       before      31   May   1983 on     the       by-catch
question        represented          by     Article       4.
As    far    as  Article        8 paragraphs           2 b     ii  and 7 a r e       concerned,      these        provisions
