THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2847/93 of 12 October 1993 establishing a control system applicable to the common fisheries policy (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2635/97 (2), and in particular Article 21(3) thereof,
Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 45/98 of 19 December 1997 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1998 and certain conditions under which they may be fished (3), provides for cod, haddock and plaice quotas for 1998;
Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;
Whereas the quotas of cod in the waters of ICES division III a Skagerrak, of haddock in the waters of ICES divisions III a, III b, c, d (EC-zone) and of plaice in the waters of ICES division III a Skagerrak, allocated to Belgium for 1998, have been exhausted by exchanges of quotas; whereas Belgium has prohibited fishing for these stocks as from 1 January 1998; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,
The quotas of cod in the waters of ICES division III a Skagerrak, of haddock in the waters of ICES divisions III a, III b, c, d (EC-zone) and of plaice in the waters of ICES division III a Skagerrak allocated to Belgium for 1998, are deemed to be exhausted.

Whereas, in order to avoid too drastic a reduction in the amount of the special premium for castrated male bovine animals in those Member States whose producers benefited from the deseasonalisation premium in 1998, but for whom the conditions for the full-rate grant in 1999 are not met, provision should be made, by way of an exception, for Community financing in 1999, for grant of the reduced rate;
Whereas the restructuring as regards male cattle in the new German LĂ¤nder has not yet been completed; whereas it is desirable to provide for the continued derogation, for 1999, from the application of the limit of ninety animals,
