Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
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 (TACs) by stock or group of stocks, the share available to the Community and the specific conditions under which these catches must be taken; whereas under Article 4 of the same Regulation, the share available to the Community is allocated among the Member States;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 4034/86 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2999/87 (3), fixes, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the TACs for 1987 and certain conditions under which they may be fished;
Whereas on the basis of scientific advice, the TAC for European plaice in ICES zone VII f, g (Bristol Channel and south-east Ireland) may be revised depending on the catch rate observed during 1987 compared with 1986; whereas the catch rate is higher in 1987 than in 1986 and the TAC may in consequence be increased,
