 Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 4034 /86 of 22 December 1986 ( 1 ) allocates to
 Ireland 50 tonnes of pollack in ICES divisions Vb ( EC zone ) , VI , XII and XIV
and 860 tonnes of pollack in ICES division VII .
The Irish authorities have indicated to the Commission that experience shews
that the relationship between the conscription of these two quotas would
suggest that it would be opportune to transfer 50 tonnes of pollack from the
Irish quota in division VII to the Irish quota in divisions Vb ( EC zone ), VI ,
XII and XIV .
The Commission considers that such instances require to be examined on a
case-by-case basis , taking particularly into account the objectives of
Carmunity conservation policy and the equilibria enshrined in current
legislation .
In the present case it appears to the Centrassion that :
- the resources in question constitute a single stock , so that the transfer
    in question would not affect relative stability as referred to in Article
    4(1 ) of Council Regulation ( EEC ) No . 170/83 ( 2 );
- the scale of transfer under consideration would not produce a significant
    change in patterns of operations v\hile permitting a better equilibrium of
    fishing effort ;
- while the reduction of a small quota by transfer to another quota could
   have implications as regards discards , the envisaged transfer is fron a
    larger to a smaller quota .
In these     circumstances  the Commission considers       that the transfer can be
admitted in this particular case and therefore requests the Council to adopt
the necessary amendment to Regulation 4034/86 .

Ireland in ICES division VII to the quota of pollack allocated to Ireland in
