Title: Proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) amending for the second time Regulation (EC) No. 3676/93 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1994 and certain conditions under which they may be fished

COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMVIUNITIES
                                                      COM(94) 532 final
                                                      Brussels, 28.11.1994
                                      Proposal for a
                                COUNCIL REGULATION (EC)
                amending for the second time Regulation (EQ No.3676/93
                 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks,
  the total allowable catches for 1994 and certain conditions under which they may be
                                            fished
                            (presented by the Commission)
 ---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.
In recent years swaps, as a result of exchange of fish quotas between the Community and
third countries, have been arranged for certain stocks of fish.
The present one is twofold; on the one hand, it involves a transfer of 200 tonnes of prawns
in Skagerrak to Sweden. In return Sweden will transfer 300 tonnes of cod in the Skagerrak
and 375 tonnes of herring in the Skagerrak and Kattegat to the Community. On the other
hand, following a Community increase for other species as set out in Annex II of Regulation
N°3692/932, Norway will be compensated in the form of 4 000 tonnes of sprat transferred
from the unallocated Community share.
Furthermore, the TAC for Norway lobster in the North Sea appears insufficient to maintain
exploitation for the whole of 1994. According to the most recent scientific information, an
increase in this TAC would not jeopardize the future management of the resources concerned.
On the other hand, by virtue of the application of the recommendations agreed during the
20th- session of the International Baltic Sea Fisheries Commission, the Community has
obtained an additional quota of cod in the Baltic Sea for 1994.
This proposal intends to address this matter by modifying Council Regulation (EC)
N° 3676/93.

                    fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks,
    the total allowable catches for 1994 and certain conditions under which they may be

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 aquaculture1, and in particular Article 8 (4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas under the terms of Article 8 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 it is incumbent
upon the Council to establish the total allowable catches (TACs) by fishery or group of
fisheries;
Whereas Regulation (EC) No.3676/932 as amended by Regulation (EC) No.2761/943, fixes,
for certain fish stocks and groups offish stocks, the TACs for 1994 and certain conditions
under which they may be fished;
Whereas, within the framework of the bilateral consultations on the reciprocal fishing rights
between the Community and Sweden, the shares of the TAC for herring in Skagerrak and
Kattegat and for cod in the Skagerrak allocated to Sweden for 1994 have been decreased and

 ---pagebreak--- the share of the TAC for Northern prawn in Ilia allocated to Sweden increased for the same
period,
Whereas, within theframeworkof the bilateral consultations on the reciprocalfishingrights
between the Community and Norway, the Community share for "other species" has been
increased and the part of the TAC of North Sea sprat available to Member States has been
decreased,
Whereas the state of the stock of Norway lobster in the North Sea allows increases in his
TAC without endangering the future management of this resource;
Whereas, by virtue of the application of the recommendations agreed during the 20th session
of the International Baltic Sea Fisheries Commission, the Community has obtained an
additional quota of cod in the Baltic Sea for 1994;
Whereas Council Regulation ((EC) No 3676/93 should therefore be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
                                           Article 1
The Annex to this Regulation replaces the corresponding elements of the Annex to Regulation
(EC) No 3676/93.
                                           Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the
Official Journal of the European Communities.
 This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
