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 45/98 (2) fixes, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the TACs for 1998 and certain conditions under which they may be fished;
Whereas it is desirable to set new TACs for 1998 in order to limit the catches of a number of additional fish stocks or group of fish stocks in the North Sea; whereas these TACs should be allocated among Member States in accordance with Article 8(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92;
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 45/98 should therefore be amended accordingly,
