Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 806/2003(2), and in particular Article 21(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1119/2003(3) prohibits fishing for whiting in the waters of ICES division VII b to k by vessels flying the flag of the Netherlands or registered in the Netherlands.
(2) On 23 June 2003 the United Kingdom transferred to the Netherlands 100 tonnes of whiting quota in the waters of ICES division VII b to k.
