Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009 of 20 November 2009 establishing a Community control system for ensuring compliance with the rules of the common fisheries policy (1), and in particular Article 36(2) thereof,
Whereas:

(3) It is therefore necessary to prohibit fishing activities for that stock,
Quota exhaustion
The fishing quota allocated to the Member State referred to in the Annex to this Regulation for the stock referred to therein for 2012 shall be deemed to be exhausted from the date set out in that Annex.
Prohibitions
Fishing activities for the stock referred to in the Annex to this Regulation by vessels flying the flag of or registered in the Member State referred to therein shall be prohibited from the date set out in that Annex.

Whereas:
(1) The Stabilisation and Association Agreement between the European Communities and their Member States, of the one part, and the Republic of Montenegro, of the other part, was signed on 15 October 2007. The Interim Agreement on trade and trade related matters will enter into force on 1 January 2008. The Interim Agreement will allow the trade provisions of the Stabilisation and Association Agreement to apply provisionally pending its ratification. Therefore, the Republic of Montenegro should be removed from the scope of application of Regulation (EC) No 517/94 from the date of implementation of the Interim Agreement.
(2) After the removal of all components of the former Yugoslavia from the scope of application of Regulation (EC) No 517/94, Kosovo as defined by the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 of 10 June 1999 (2) is the only territory in the region subject to textile quotas.

(3) Regulation (EC) No 517/94 should therefore be amended accordingly.
