Title: Proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) amending for the third 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

COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

                                    Proposal for a
                          COUNCIL REGULATION (EC)
               amending for the third 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 1992', establishing a Community regime for fishing and aquaculture.
The TACs for certain stocks subject to a precautionary TAC appear insufficient to maintain
exploitation for the whole of 1995. According to the most recent scientific information, an
increase in these TACs would not jeopardize the future management of the resources
concerned.
This proposal intends to address this matter by modifying Council Regulation (EC)
N° 3362/94.

                 amending for the third 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

 THF 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.3362/942 as amended by Regulation (EC) No.746/953, fixes, for
 certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the TACs for 1995 and certain conditions under
 which they may be fished;
 Whereas the state of the stocks of whiting in areas VII (except Vila) and VIII, Norway lobster
 in areas VII and VIII, sprat in the North Sea and cod in the Kattegat allow increase of TACs
 without endangering the future management of these resources;
