Proposal for a Council Regulation amending Regulation (EC) No 54/1999 allocating, for 1999, Community catch quotas in Greenland waters  /* COM/99/0472 final */  

Proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION amending Regulation (EC) No 54/1999 allocating, for 1999, Community catch quotas in Greenland waters(presented by the Commission) EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUMPursuant to Article 1 paragraph 2 of the Third Protocol [1], the Community is entitled to 70% of the Greenland share of the capelin. This provision has to be seen against the background that the capelin stock in the waters off Eastern Greenland is managed jointly by Greenland, Iceland and Norway. This year's tripartite consultations have led to an agreement, by way of which the relevant TAC was set at 1,285,000 tonnes for 1999. Under the Third Protocol, the ensuing Community catch quota in Greenland waters will be 98,945 tonnes and, after deduction of the quantities granted to the Faroe Islands, Iceland and Norway, the net quota available to Member States will be 48,945 tonnes.[1] 	OJ L 351, 31.12.1994, p. 1.Council Regulation (EC) No 54/1999 [2] established the corresponding Community catch quota at 109,340 tonnes on the basis of a TAC of 1,420,000.[2] 	OJ L 13, 18.1.1999, p. 81.The objective of this proposal is to implement the measures resulting from the variation of the underlying TAC.
