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), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2635/97 (2), and in particular Article 21(3) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1234/98 (3) stops fishing for blue whiting by vessels flying the flag of a Member State except Spain and Portugal;
Whereas on 27 March 1998 Spain transferred to Germany 3 000 tonnes of blue whiting in the waters of ICES divisions V b (EC zone), VI and VII; whereas fishing for blue whiting in the waters of ICES divisions V b (EC zone), VI and VII by vessels flying the flag of Germany or registered in Germany must therefore be authorised;
Whereas the present state of uptake of the blue whiting quota allocated to Spain in the waters of ICES divisions V b (EC zone), VI and VII means that the quota transfer in question may be made;
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 1234/98 should therefore be amended,
