COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 3411/84
of 4 December 1984
allocating between the Member States the 1985 Community catch quotas in the regulatory area defined in the NAFO Convention
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), and in particular Article 11 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the Convention on Future Multilateral Cooperation in the North-West Atlantic Fisheries, hereinafter referred to as 'the NAFO Convention,' was approved by the Council in its Regulation (EEC) No 3179/78 (2);
Whereas the NAFO Convention entered into force on 1 January 1979;
Whereas the Fisheries Commission of the North-West Atlantic Fisheries Organization adopted on 14 September 1984 a proposal establishing limitations for catches of certain species in the regulatory area for 1985 which became a measure binding upon the Community on 24 November 1984;
Whereas it is the responsibility of the Community to take appropriate steps to ensure compliance by Community vessels with the said measure;
Whereas, under the terms of Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 170/83, it is incumbent upon the Council to establish the total allowable catches by stock or group of stocks, the share available for the Community and also the specific conditions under which the catches must be made; whereas, under the terms of Article 4 of the same Regulation, the share available for the Community is allocated between the Member States;
Whereas the NAFO Commission proposal on squid, made on 14 September 1984, does not provide for specific quotas for Canada and the Community; whereas the Community should therefore establish a quota for its own fishermen at a level which takes account both of the TAC proposed by NAFO for the entire stock and of the interests of Community fishermen;
Whereas information about catches by Community vessels should be made available to their respective Member States and to the Commission in order to ensure that these quotas are complied with,
