The Community, under Council Regulation (EC) no 3364/94, has allocated to the Faroe
Islands a quota for mackerel in Community waters.
Following a decision to reduce the mackerel TAC for biological reasons, the Community and
the Faroe Islands have held consultations which resulted in an agreement to reduce the
Parties* quotas for mackerel in the other Party's zone. As a result, the Parties agreed to
reduce the Faroese catch quota for mackerel in Community waters from 7,410 tonnes to
5,890 tonnes.
It is, therefore, proposed to amend the above Council Regulation accordingly.
