Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organisation of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 12(1) thereof,
Whereas:

Council Regulation (EC) No 1754/2003
of 22 September 2003
amending for the third time Regulation (EC) No 2341/2002 fixing for 2003 the fishing opportunities and associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, applicable in Community waters and, for Community vessels, in waters where catch limitations are required
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2371/2002 of 20 December 2002 on the conservation and sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources under the Common Fisheries Policy(1), and in particular Article 20(1) and (4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) Regulation (EC) No 2341/2002(2) fixes the fishing opportunities and associated conditions for certain fish stocks and groups of stocks applicable in Community waters and for Community vessels, in waters where limitations in catch are required for 2003. Amendments to the Regulation are required following recommendations recently made by the International Baltic Sea Fishery Commission (IBSFC).
(2) In June 2003 the IBSFC made the following recommendations:
- the total allowable catch (TAC) for sprat in zone III b,c,d (EC waters) should be increased from 310000 tonnes to 341000 tonnes,
- the minimum mesh size for towed nets without an exit window when fishing for cod should be reduced from 140 to 130 mm from 1 October 2003,
- the minimum mesh opening of the window in a "top window codend Bacoma" should be reduced from 120 mm to 110 mm.
(3) The Contracting Parties of IBSFC agreed to allow for the implementation of the recommendations before the end of the objection period referred to in the Convention establishing IBSFC.
(4) It is necessary that the Community apply these measures immediately after the summer ban in order to avoid extra costs for the fishermen.
(5) However, scientific information indicates that towed nets without an exit window are less selective than the Bacoma type gear. It is therefore appropriate not to allow, within Community waters and for Community vessels, the use of towed gear without an exit window.
(6) Regulation (EC) No 2341/2002 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Annexes IA, IC and V to Regulation (EC) No 2341/2002 shall be amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
It shall apply from 1 September 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,
