This proposal for a Council Regulation to modify Council E. -;gui„ -: an (E..C )
N°3977 /S7 of 21 December 1987 ( 1 ) has the following objectives :
1 . To introduce a seasonal limitation on fishing for herring >f£ the
     south-west coast of Ireland , as advised by the Advisory Comm. toe on
     Fishery Manaiyanent ( ACFM ) of the International Council for the EAp.*.oiatian
     of the Sea ( ICES ), in order to give extra protection to the spawning
     concentration of herring in this area .
2 . To increase the total allowable catch (TAC ) for the stocks of :
     - herring in ICES zone Via South , VI lb , c ;
     - herring in ICES zone Vllg, h, j , k ;
3 . To decrease the TAC for herring in ICES zone Vila while taking into
     account catches to date .
4 . To implement the conclusions of fishery consultat ions between Sweden and
     the European Economic Ccrrmumty, of 9-10 June 1988, whereby quotas for cod
     and salmon are allocated to the Community in the Swedish part of a
     formerly disputed area of the Baltic Sea .
These revisions of the TACs take into account the latest advice given by the
Scientific and Technical Committee for Fisheries ( STCF ) and ACEH .
The revision of the TAC for herring in ICES zone Vllg , h , j , k is however
conditional on the adoption of the seasonal limitation on the fishery off the
coast of Ireland, as declared by the Commission during the Council of
Ministers of 14-15 December , 1987 (2 ).

TOE COUNCIL OF TOE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Ccrrmunity,
Having regard to Council Regulation ( EEC ) N°170/83 of 25 January 1983
establishing a Ccmnunity system for the conservation and management of
fishery resources ( 1 ) and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Ccnmissicn,
Whereas under the terms of Article 3 of Regulation ( EEC ) N°170/83 it is
incumbent upon the Council to establish the total allowable catches (TACs ) by
stock or group of stocks , the share available to the Ccnmunity and the
specific conditions under which these catches must be taken ; whereas under
Article 4 of the same Regulation , the share available to the Conmunity is
allocated among the Member States ;
Whereas Regulation ( EEC ) N°3977/87 ( 2 ) fixes , for certain fish stocks and
groups of fish stocks , the TACs for 1988 and certain conditions under which
they may be fished;
Whereas , taking account of the latest scientific advice , it is necessary to
limit fishing carv spawning concentrations of herring in the geographical
regions South-east Ireland and Great Sole ; whereas higher catches may be
taken if spawning fish are protected and , therefore , the total allowable
catch of herring in ICES zones Vllg, h, j , k may be increased;
Whereas on the basis of the latest scientific advice , the total allowable
catch for herring in ICES zones Via South, VI lb, c (West Scotland , West
Ireland and Porcupine Bank ) may be increased;
Whereas on the basis of the latest scientific advice the stock of herring in
ICES zone Vila ( Irish Sea ) is seriously depleted and catches should be
reduced inmediately to avoid further depletion ; whereas , therefore , the total
allowable catch should be reduced in accordance with the scientific advice ,
taking account of catches made to date ;
Whereas , in conformity with the procedure provided for in Article 2 of the
fisheries agreement between the European Economic Cannunity and the Kingdom
of Sweden ( 3 ) the parties have consulted on the consequences of the extension
of the Swedish fishing jurisdiction in the Baltic Sea ;
