COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
                                                    Brussels, 24.10.1995

                                     Proposal for a
                           COUNCIL REGULATION (EC)
              amending for the second time Regulation (EC) No.3362/94
               fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks,
the total allowable catches for 1995 and certain conditions under which they may be
                                          fished
                            (presented by the Commission)
 ---pagebreak---  ---pagebreak---                             EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
The objective of the present proposal is to fix fishing possibilities for certain stocks of fish
and to allocate these equitably to Member States. The fixing and the sharing of possibilities
for fishing falls exclusively within the competence of the Community and arises from
obligations set out in Article 8(4) of Regulation (EEC) n° 3760/92 of the Council of
20 December 19921, establishing a Community regime for fishing and aquaculture.
By virtue of the recommendations agreed during the 21th session of the International Baltic
Sea Fisheries Commission, the Community has obtained an additional quota of cod in the
Baltic Sea for 1995.
This proposal intends to address this matter by modifying Council Regulation (EC)
N° 3362/94.
Increases in the TACs of other stocks have not been granted. The Members States, from
whom the corresponding pleas originated, have been requested to forward additional
justifications.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
