                                            EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
          The objective of the following proposal is to amend Council Regulation
           (EEC) n° 3094/86 of 7 October 1986Ï1), laying down certain technical
          measures for the conservation of fishery resources.
          Article 8 of the said Regulation indicates that the box for the
          protection of juvenile mackerel from the western stock will cease to be
          effective beginning on 1 January 1992 "unless the Council, on a
          proposal from the Commission, decides otherwise by a qualified majority
          on 30 November 1991 at the latest in the light of the situation of the
          Western mackerel stock."
          In the light of the most recent scientific advice, the Commission
          proposes that the said box be maintained.

                                LAYING DOWN CERTAIN TECHNICAL MEASURES FOR
                                     THE CONSERVATION OF FISHERY RESOURCES
           THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
           Having       regard      to   the   Treaty   establishing    the   European    Economic
           Community,
           Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 170/83 of 25 January 1983
           establishing a Community system for the conservation and management of
           fishery resources^), as amended by the Act of Accession of Spain and
           Portugal, and in particular Article 11 thereof,
           Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
           Whereas        Article      8   of   Council   Regulation     (EEC)   No  3094/86     of
           7 October 1986            laying   down    certain    technical   measures     for   the
           conservation of fishery resources(^) /             as  last amended by              ^),
           defines an area for the protection of juvenile mackerel where fishing
           is prohibited, and whereas in the absence of a Council decision before
           30 November         1991 that prohibition        could   cease  to  apply   as   from 1
           January 1992;
           Whereas        the     most    recent   scientific    advice   recommends    that    the
           prohibition be maintained in the interests of the conservation of the
           western mackerel stock; whereas the said regulation should therefore be
           amended in order to preserve that provision,
