               amending for the fifth time Regulation (EC) No.3074/95
               fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks,

                                          fished

 ---pagebreak---  ---pagebreak---                           EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
 The TACs for certain stocks subject to a precautionary TAC appear insufficient to maintain
exploitation for the whole of 1996. According to the most recent scientific information, an
increase in these TACs would not jeopardize the future management of the resources
concerned.
Within the framework of the bilateral consultations on the reciprocal fishing rights between
the Community and Poland, the Community share for Baltic cod has been increased.
 This proposal intends to address these matters by modifying Council Regulation (EC)
N° 3074/95.

                 amending for the fifth time Regulation (EC) No.3074/95
                  fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks,
 the total allowable catches for 1996 and certain conditions under which they may be
                                                 fished
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No. 3760/92 of 20 December 1992 establishing
a Community system for fisheries and aquaculture1, and in particular Article 8 (4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Wliereas under the terms of Article 8 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 it is incumbent
upon the Council to establish the total allowable catches (TACs) by fishery or group of
fisheries;
Whereas Regulation (EC) No.3074/952 fixes, for certain fish stocks and groups offish stocks,
the TACs for 1996 and certain conditions under which they may be fished;
Whereas the state of the stocks of herring in area VII g,h,j,k and haddock in areas VII, VIII,
IX, X and CECAF 34.1.1 (Community waters) allow increase of TACs without endangering
the future management of these resources;
Whereas, within the framework of the bilateral consultations on the reciprocal fishing rights
between the Community and Poland, the Community share for Baltic cod has been increased.
Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 3074/95 should therefore be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
                                               Article 1
The Annex to this Regulation replaces the corresponding elements of the Annex to Regulation
(EC) No 3074/95.
