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, under Article 8 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92, it is incumbent upon the Council to establish the total allowable catches (TACs) by fishery or group of fisheries;
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 3074/95 (2) fixes, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the TACs for 1996 and certain conditions under which they may be fished;

Whereas, within the framework of bilateral consultations between the Community and Poland, the Community share for Baltic sprat has been increased;
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 3074/95 should therefore be amended,
