THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Article 21 (3) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 3377/94 of 20 December 1994 allocating, for the period until 31 March 1995, certain catch quotas between Member States for vessels fishing the Norwegian exclusive economic zone and the fishing zone around Jan Mayen  (2), provides for saithe quotas for 1995;
Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member  State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;
Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of saithe in the waters of ICES divisions I and II a and b (Norwegian waters north of 62° N) by vessels flying the flag of the United Kingdom or registered in the United  Kingdom have reached the quota allocated for 1995; whereas the United Kingdom has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 8 February 1995; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,
