COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2120/92  of 20 July 1992  amending, for the 13th time, Regulation (EEC) No 3094/86 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 (1), 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 whiting may be caught with mesh sizes in derogation from Community regulations;
Whereas the conditions under which whiting may be harvested should therefore be specified, so as to prevent this activity from involving the additional risk of threatening, through excessive harvesting, the reconstitution of populations already  considered as endangered;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3094/86 (2) was intended to have been reviewed during the first half of 1992; whereas new information has been brought to the attention of the Commission;
Whereas the required scientific analyses should nevertheless be completed and the adoption of a permanent redefinition of the conditions under which this fishery may be conducted would therefore be premature;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3094/86 should consequently be amended adequately,
