COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 700/2006
of 25 April 2006
repealing Regulation (EC) No 3690/93 establishing a Community system laying down rules for the minimum information to be contained in fishing licences
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 37 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 3690/93 (2) is based on Council Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 of 20 December 1992 establishing a Community system for fisheries and aquaculture (3) which has been replaced by Council Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the common fisheries policy (4). The references and provisions contained in Regulation (EC) No 3690/93 are no longer compatible with this new Regulation which establishes new rules on the management of fishing capacity as expressed in fishing licences.
(2) Articles 22(3) and 13(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 empower the Commission to lay down implementing rules for the management of fishing licences and fishing capacities.
(3) On 3 August 2005 the Commission adopted Regulation (EC) No 1281/2005 on the management of fishing licences and the minimal information to be contained therein (5), which is to apply from the date of repeal of Regulation (EC) No 3690/93.
(4) Regulation (EC) No 3690/93 should therefore be repealed,
