COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1181/98 of 4 June 1998 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 establishing a Community system for fisheries and aquaculture
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 of 20 December 1992 establishing a Community system for fisheries and aquaculture (4), lays down that the Council is to determine for each fishery or group of fisheries the total allowable catch and to allocate a total allowable fishing effort for these fisheries between the Member States; whereas that Article does not provide for the exercise of powers by the Council as regards allocating catches in Community waters to vessels of third countries authorised to fish in those waters; whereas powers to establish the fishing opportunities for allocation to third countries and to set the technical conditions under which catches must be made should accordingly be conferred;
Whereas the temporary technical conservation measures associated with the conditions under which the quotas can be fished may be adopted using the same procedure as that laid down for establishing the total allowable catch,
