No L 93/40                      Official Journal of the European Communities                           12 . 4 . 79
                                             COUNCIL DECISION
                                                 of 9 April 1979
           under the Treaties, concerning fishery activities in waters under the sovereignty
           or jurisdiction of Member States, taken on a temporary basis pending the adop­
                                  tion of permanent Community measures
                                                   (79/383/EEC)
           The Council intends to reach an agreement as early as possible in 1979 on Community
           measures for the conservation and management of fishery resources and related matters .
           Pending its decision in the matter and in view both of Article 102 of the Act of Accession
           and of the need to protect the biological resources and to maintain suitable relations with
           third countries in fisheries matters, the Council, on 19 December 1978 , adopted interim
           measures which were in force from 1 January to 31 March 1979 . Following on from these
           measures, the Council has decided on the following interim measures which will apply
           from 1 April 1979 until the Council has reached a definitive agreement or until 30 June
           1979 , whichever is the earlier :
           1 . Member States shall conduct their fisheries in such a way that the catches of their
               vessels during the interim period shall take into account TACs submitted by the
               Commission to the Council in their communications of 23 November 1978 and 16
               February 1979 and the part of the TACs made available to third countries under agree­
               ments or arrangements made with them by the Community. The catches taken in the
               interim period will be offset against the allocations eventually decided upon by the
               Council for 1979 .
           2. As regards technical measures for the conservation and surveillance of fishery
               resources, Member States shall apply the same measures as they applied on 3
               November 1976, and other measures taken in accordance with the procedures and
               criteria of Annex VI of the Council resolution of 3 November 1976 .

                                                                        The President
