                          Proposal for a

Pursuant to the provisions of Article 1 paragraph 2 of the Third EC/Greenland Protocol (1\
the Community is entitled to 70% of the Greenland share of the capelin TAC minus
 10,000 tonnes to the Faroe Islands. Council Regulation (EC) No. 3079/95 (2) established the
corresponding Community catch quota on the basis of a provisional TAC of 950,000 tonnes.
This TAC has been revised in the meantime and set at 1,100,000 tonnes. Consequently, the
quota available to the Community has increased to 62,050 tonnes.
The objective of this proposal is to implement the measures resulting from the variation of
the underlying TAC.
