                                  Proposal for a
                        COUNCIL REGULATION (EC)
  fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups offish stocks, the total allowable
catches for 1999 and certain conditions under which they may be fished

This proposal for a Council Regulation fixes the Total Allowable Catches (TAC's) for
1999, the Community share of them, the distribution of those shares as quotas among
Member States and the conditions under which the quotas may befished.The fixing and
the sharing of possibilities for fishing falls exclusively within the competence of the
Community and arises from obligations set out in Article 8(4) of Regulation (EEC) No
3760/92 of the Council of 20 December 1992.
Essentially, this proposal contains the same elements as the proposal for 1998 TACs,
updated where possible in the light of scientific advice.
In the case of autonomous stocks where the Advisory Committee on Fishery
Management (ACFM) based its advice on analytical assessments and where the EC
Scientific Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) has further
reviewed the advice of ACFM, the TAC's proposed are based on the advice of these
committees.
In the case of autonomous stocks for which no analytical assessments are available,
TAC's (precautionary TAC's) have been proposed. In such cases, the Commission has
based its proposal on advice either from ACFM or from STECF wherever these bodies
give an explicit value for the TAC. Where no explicit value is given, the proposed value
is equal to that adopted last year by the Council.
Consultations between the Community and Norway to agree on reciprocal fisheries
arrangements for 1999 are still in progress. These arrangements imply, inter alia, certain
catch quotas for Norwegian vessels in Community waters.
The most recent report of ACFM, endorsed by STECF, indicates that in Regions 1 and 2,
many of the stocks of demersal fish, particularly cod, haddock, saithe, whiting, hake and
plaice are too heavily exploited and are considered to be in a state which is actually or
potentially outside safe biological limits. Analytical assessments of the state of a number
of demersal stocks in Region 3 are also available. Depending on the stock in question,
ACFM have recommended management action implying the imposition of restrictive
TAC's and such recommendations are reflected in this proposal.
As regards certain pelagic fish, ACFM and STECF also point to grave concern over the
state of stocks of herring in the North Sea and of mackerel. The TAC's for both of these
stocks are included in the annual consultations with Norway which are still in progress.
Given that certain technical measures should be implemented as from 1 January 1999,
they are included in the proposal, in the form of temporary derogations to the main
rules, while waiting for the corresponding regulations to be amended accordingly. In
particular:
         The prohibition for beam trawling in the Southern North Sea, established in
        Article 10(3) of Regulation (EEC) No894/97 (Plaice box), is extended to the
        whole year 1999.
 ---pagebreak---         The summer ban on cod fishing in the Baltic is set from 1 July to 20 August
         1999. A new box, banning temporarily allfishing,is set in the Baltic Sea. Certain
        technical specifications concerning the use of exit windows in the Baltic Sea are
        slightly modified.
        The limits to the herring box in the Irish Sea have been slightly modified.
        The mesh size for fixed gearsfishingfor sole in region 1 and 2 is set at 90mm.
        Fishing for tuna on dolphin shoals will be authorized in 1999, subject to the
        rules on Dolphin Mortality Limits as set up by the Agreement on the
        International Dolphin Conservation Programme.
Finally, Article 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No 847/96, introducing additional
conditions for year-to-year management of TACs and quotas, requires the Council to
decide which stocks are subject to the various measures fixed therein. This is dealt with
by this proposal under annex III.

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 1994 Act of Accession, and in particular Articles 94, 121 and
122 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
1.        Whereas Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 requires the Council to
          formulate, in the light of the available scientific advice and, in particular, of
         the report prepared by the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for
          Fisheries, the measures necessary to ensure the rational and responsible
          exploitation of resources on a sustainable basis;
2.        Whereas a management regime making full use of the new management
          possibilities given by Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92, and in particular the
          management of catch limitations on a pluriannual and multispecies basis,
          cannot yet be achieved, due to the need to put into force certain measures for
          the control of fisheries, to further develop the appropriate administrative
          framework for a system of limitation of fishing effort, and to enhance
          scientific knowledge; whereas, until such a management regime is
          consolidated, limitation of exploitation rates should be guaranteed by the
          current TAC system;

        NoL 164, 9.6.1998, p. 1.
 ---pagebreak--- 3.  Whereas, under the terms of Article 8(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92, it
    is incumbent upon the Council, in accordance with Article 4, to establish the
    total allowable catches (TAC) by fishery or group of fisheries; whereas
    fishing opportunities should be allocated to Member States in accordance
    with Article 8(4)(ii) of that Regulation;
4.  Whereas it is necessary to establish the principles and certain procedures of
    fishery management at the Community level, so that Member States can
    ensure the management of the vessels flying their flag;
5.  Whereas, in order to ensure effective management of these TACs, the
    specific conditions under which fishing operations occur should be
    established;
6.  Whereas, in accordance with the provisions laid down in Article 2 of Council
    Regulation (EC) No 847/96 of 6 May 1996 introducing additional conditions
    for year to year management of TACs and quotas2, it is necessary to indicate
    which stocks are subject to the various measures fixed therein;
7.  Whereas, in order to ensure a better exploitation of the quotas of herring,
    anchovy, hake, blue whiting, mackerel and megrim, transfers of a part of the
    quotas from the zone of allocation to adjacent zones should be allowed;
8.  WTiereas, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 2 of the
    Agreement on fisheries between the European Economic Community, of the
    one part, and the Government of Denmark and the Home Government of the
    Faeroe Islands, of the other part, the Parties have consulted on their
    reciprocal fishing rights for 1999; whereas these consultations have been
    successfully concluded; whereas, as a result, it is possible to fix the TACs,
    the Community shares and the quotas for certain joint and autonomous
    stocks, of which part is allocated to the Faeroe Islands;
   OJNoL115, 9.5.1996, p. 3.
   OJ No L 226, 29.8.1980, p. 12.
 ---pagebreak--- 9.    Whereas, in accordance with the procedure provided in Articles 2 and 7 of
      the Fisheries Agreement between the European Economic Community and
      the Kingdom of Norway4, the Community and Norway have held
      consultations concerning mutual fishing rights for 1999; whereas these
      consultations have been successfully concluded and therefore it is possible to
      fix the TACs, the Community shares and the quotas for joint stocks and,
      where necessary, for other stocks;
10.   Whereas the International Baltic Sea Fishery Commission has recommended
      TACs for the stocks of cod, salmon, herring and sprat occurring in the waters
      of the Baltic Sea and the shares thereof for each contracting party; whereas it
      is appropriate to implement those recommendations;
11.   Whereas the Community has approved the United Nations Convention on the
      Law of the Sea, which contains principles and rules relating to the
      conservation and management of the living resources of the sea;
12.    Whereas, in the framework of its wider international obligations, the
      Community participates in efforts to conserve fish stocks arising in
      international waters;
 13.   Whereas, pursuant to Article 122 of the 1994 Act of Accession, the
       conditions under which allocations made within the framework of the
       Accession can be fished will remain identical to those applicable
       immediately prior to the entry into force of the 1994 Treaty of Accession;
 14.   Whereas massive catches of young flatfish can be taken in the Southern
       North Sea in autumn; whereas protection should be given to these fish, in
       order to achieve a better exploitation;
 15.   Whereas a number of conditions specified in Council Regulation (EC) N°
       894/97 of 29 April 1997 laying down certain technical measures for the
       conservation of fishery resources5 and Council Regulation (EC) N° 88/98 of

         new conditions set out on the basis of recently available scientific advice;
16.      Whereas the International           Baltic Sea Fisheries      Commission has
         recommended certain technical measures for resource conservation to be
         implemented by its Contracting Parties with effect from 1 January 1999;
17.      Whereas the rebuilding of the stock of herring in the North Sea requires that
         the special management measures stipulated in Regulation (EC) No 1602/967
         should be continued in 1999;
18.      Whereas the conditions defined in Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No

Exit windows (model 1)
Two exit windows with plastic coated, fully opened diamond meshes shall be attached
to the codend of trawls and Danish seines in the cod fishery. The mesh opening shall
be no less than 105 mm. The exit windows shall be attached with a separate piece of
netting (between the ordinary diamond meshes and the meshes of the exit window).
The mesh size of the separate netting shall be identical to the bar length of the exit
window times the square root of two.
The exit window shall be attached on both sides of the codend, and the distance
between the rear end of the codend and the window shall be 40 to 50 cm. The length
of the window shall be 80 % of the total length of the codend and the height of the
window shall be 50 cm. Figure 1 .The window shall be mounted in a way that gives an
opening between the upper and lower seams of the window of 15 to 20 cm.
Exit window (model 2)
Identification of the window
The windows shall be rectangular sections of netting in the codend. There shall be two
windows in the codend.
Size of the window
Each window shall have a minimum width of 45 cm along its entire length. Each
window shall have a minimum length of 3,5 m measured along its sides (Figure 2)
and the length of the window shall not be less than 80 % of the total length of the
codend.
Netting of the window
The meshes in the windows shall have a minimum size of 105 mm. They shall be
square meshes, i.e. all four sides of the window netting will be cut by all bars . The
netting shall be mounted such that the bars run parallel and perpendicular to the length
of the codend .The window width shall be eight open square meshes.
                                                (&\
 ---pagebreak--- Location of the window
The codend shall be divided into upper and lower panels by selvedges running down
the port and starboard sides. The two windows shall be located in the lower panel,
immediately adjacent to and below the selvedges. The windows shall terminate
between 40-50fromthe codline . Figure 2
The forward end of the window shall be joined to eight meshes' width of the normal
codend netting. One side shall join to the selvedge or be joined immediately adjacent
to the selvedge and the other side shall be joined to the normal codend lower panel
netting following a straight line of meshes all knots cut.
Mesh size in the whole codend
All parts of the codend shall conform to a minimum mesh size of 105 mm.
