  27 July
OnS/ 1981 , the Council adopted Regulation ( EEC ) No       /81 concerning the
management and control of certain catch quotas for -1981 for vessels flying the
flag of a Member State and fishing in the Regulatory Area defined in the NAFO
Convention ( 1 ). These catch quotas were confirmed as the definitive quotas for
the year 1981 at a special meeting of the Fisheries Commission 'of NAFO held
from 31 March to 2 April 1981 . But , following an objection to the proposal for
the catch quota for cod in NAFO sub-area 3M by the Portuguese Government , a
further special meeting of the NAFO Fisheries Commission was held on 25 /26
June 1981 .                                                                    •'
At this meeting , the Fisheries Commission adopted a new proposal for the TAC
and catch quotas in 1 98 1 for cod in sub-area 3M „ This new proposal has the
advantage of commanding a consensus of approval in the Fisheries Commission
and so should not provoke objections . It is linked to a . long-term strategy for
the conservation of cod in sub-area. 3M , which is to be discussed at the annual
meeting of the NAFO in September 1981 . This proposal becomes a measure binding
upon all Contracting Parties to the Convention on 25 August 1 98 1 unless they
have lodged an objection pursuant to Article XII of the NAFO Convention ; the
Commission sees no reason for an objection by the Community . The Community is
bound td adopt appropriate measures to implement the catch quota provided for
in this proposal .                -
It is the purpose of the present proposal to amend Council Regulation ( EEC ) to
incorporate this catch quota in the Regulation .
