COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3500/91  of 28 November 1991  amending for the tenth time Regulation (EEC) No 3094/86 laying down certain technical measures for the conservation of fishery resources
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 170/83 of 25 January 1983 establishing a Community system for the conservation and management of fishery resources (1), as amended by the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 11  thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 8 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3094/86 of 7 October 1986 laying down certain technical measures for the conservation of fishery resources (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 4056/89 (3), defines an area for the protection of  juvenile mackerel where fishing is prohibited and whereas, in the absence of a Council Decision before 30 November 1991, that area could cease to exist as from 1 January 1992;
Whereas the most recent scientific advice recommends that the area be maintained in the interests of the conservation of the western mackerel stock and whereas the said Regulation should therefore be amended in order to uphold that provision,
