 ---pagebreak---                              EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
The  International   Council    for  the  Exploration     of  the  Sea  advises   that
fishing   for  mackerel   should    be  prohibited    each   year  in  the   period  1
January to 30 April and from 1 November to 31 December in the ICES divis­
ion  Via  north   of 58°00'   N   in  order   to protect    the  "eastern"   stock of
mackerel when it migrates into this area.
Article 7 of Council Regulation        (EEC) N°    172/83   (1) in conjunction with
Council Regulation (EEC)     198/83 (2) prohibits fishing for this species in
this area from 1 March      1983 to 30 April      1983 and 1 November      1983 to 31
December 1983.
The proposed regulation has the objective of minimising the effects of the
closure   on  the  activities    of  the   fleets.     As   the  "eastern"   stock  of
mackerel is less abundant in the area in November than during the rest of
the  period   recommended   by   ICES,   it  will   have   minimal   effects   on  the
conservation of the stock.
