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 3680/93 (2) lays down quotas for Member States in the NAFO Regulatory Area for 1994;
Whereas these quotas corresponded to the proposals adopted by NAFO at its annual meeting of 1993;
Whereas the NAFO Fisheries Commission, at its special meeting of February 1994, adopted a proposal for cod fishery in NAFO division 3NO for 1994, in the light of scientific evidence showing that a very high proportion of the biomass of this stock is  undersized fish;
Whereas the NAFO Fisheries Commission proposed a derogation to the general 130 mm mesh size rule for nets made of polyamide;
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 3680/93 should therefore be amended,
