COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 1051/86
of 10 April 1986
concerning the stopping of fishing for plaice, sole, cod, whiting and hake by vessels flying the flag of the Netherlands
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2057/82 of 29 June 1982 establishing certain control measures for fishing activities by vessels of the Member States (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3723/85 (2), and in particular Article 10 (3) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3721/85 of 20 December 1985, fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, total allowable catches for 1986 and certain conditions under which they may be fished (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 114/86 (4), provides for plaice, sole, cod, whiting and hake quotas for 1986;
Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;
Whereas the quotas allocated to the Netherlands for plaice and sole in the waters of ICES divisions VII h, j, k, of plaice, sole, cod and whiting in the waters of ICES divison VII a and of hake in the waters of ICES division V b (EC zone), VI, VII, XII, XIV have been exhausted by an exchange of quotas; whereas the Netherlands have prohibited fishing for these stocks as from 1 January 1986; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,
