Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2241/87 of 23 July 1987, establishing certain control measures for fishing activities (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3483/88 (2), and in particular Article 11 (3) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3919/92 of 20 December 199, fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of stocks, the total allowable catches for 1993 and certain conditions under which they may be fished (3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No  3177/93 (4), provides for haddock quotas for 1993;
