THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 of 20 December 1992 establishing a Community system for fisheries and aquaculture (1), and in particular Article 8 (4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 3078/95 (2) allocates, for 1996, certain catch quotas between Member States for vessels fishing in Faroese waters;
Whereas a catch quota of 4 910 tonnes of mackerel was allocated to the Community in ICES Division Vb for 1996; whereas this quota has to be reduced in order to reflect the reduction in the mackerel TAC for that area;
Whereas, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 2 of the Agreement on Fisheries between the European Economic Community, of the one part, and the Government of Denmark and the Home Government of the Faroe Islands, of the other part (3), the Parties have had further consultations on their reciprocal fishing rights for 1996;
Whereas these consultations have been concluded and, as a result, the abovementioned catch quota has been reduced;
Whereas, to ensure efficient management of the catch possibilities available, they should be allocated among Member States as quotas in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92,
