COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 3291/94 of 19 December 1994 fixing, for 1995, certain measures for the conservation and management of fishery resources, applicable to vessels flying the flag of a Member State, other than Spain and Portugal, in waters  falling under the sovereignty or within the jurisdiction of Portugal
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 351 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 351 of the Act of Accession, it is for the Council to fix the fishing possibilities and the corresponding number of Community vessels which may fish in the waters referred to in that Article;
Whereas it is therefore necessary to establish principles and certain procedures at Community level so that each Member State can assure the management of the fishing activities of vessels flying its flag;
Whereas these possibilities are determined, with respect to pelagic species not subject to the system of total allowable catches (TAC) and quotas, other than highly migratory species, on the basis of the situation of the fishing activities of the Member  States apart from Spain, in Portuguese waters for the period prior to accession; whereas there is a need to ensure stock conservation, taking account moreover of the limits placed on fishing by Portuguese vessels for similar species in waters of the  Member States, apart from Spain,
Whereas, for 1995, no fishing possibilities for species not subject to TACs and quotas are granted to Portugal in the waters of the Member States apart from Spain;
Whereas the specific conditions governing the fishing activities of vessels exploiting stocks of highly migratory species, for which catch possibilities are granted, should be laid down, whereas the limits concerning the zones and the periods of fishing  of these vessels are laid down by Article 351 (2) (3) and (4) of the Act of Accession;
Whereas the fishing activities covered by this Regulation are subject to the control measures provided for by Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 (1), as well as to the specific detailed rules drawn up in accordance with the second subparagraph of Article 351  (5) of the Act of Accession,
