COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 384/87
of 6 February 1987
establishing temporary limits on landings of sole (Solea solea) from the North Sea
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3094/86 of 7 October 1986 laying down certain technical measures for the conservation of fishery resources (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 4026/86 (2), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Whereas scientific observations in 1929, 1947, 1963 and 1986 showed that the occurrence of below average sea temperatures in the North Sea during the period January to April resulted in sole concentrating in certain well defined areas;
Whereas those same observations showed that under those conditions exceptionally high catches of sole were taken because the fishery was directed towards those areas;
Whereas the temperature of the North Sea is falling to the level at which the sequence of events described will probably occur in 1987, observed sea temperatures in January being already as low as in February during an average winter;
Whereas the spawning stock biomass of North Sea sole is at its lowest recorded level, below which recruitment to the fishery could fall to exceptionally low levels according to the latest scientific advice;
Whereas if large catches of sole are taken as a result of the sequence of events described, the spawning stock biomass will be further reduced before spawning takes place in May and June, thus increasing the probability of a failure of recruitment;
Whereas experience of the fishery of herring in the North Sea, where such a failure of recruitment did occur, shows that severe long-term economic consequences result;
Whereas to avoid such consequences, action should be taken to prevent fishing on such concentrations of sole in the period ending 15 April 1987;
Whereas a limitation on the percentage of sole which it is permitted to have on board or to land would prevent the fishery being concentrated on areas of exceptional abundance, while having minimal effect on fisheries for other species;
Whereas such action needs to be taken immediately if it is to be effective in conserving the stock; whereas such action should therefore be taken in accordance with Article 13 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 3094/86;
Whereas the Management Committee for Fishery Resources has not given an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
Until 15 April 1987 it shall be prohibited to have on board after sorting or to land more than 30 % of sole (Solea solea) which have been caught when fishing with any trawl, Danish seine or similar towed net, measured as a percentage by weight of the total catch of fish, crustaceans and molluscs.
This prohibition shall apply only to catches taken in the North Sea, as defined in Article 1 (5) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3094/86.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1255/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in milk and milk products [1], and in particular Article 10 thereof,

(2) In the light of the tenders received, the maximum aid should be fixed at the level specified below and the end-use security determined accordingly.
(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
For the 221st special invitation to tender under the standing invitation to tender opened by Regulation (EEC) No 429/90, the maximum aid and the amount of the end-use security shall be as follows:
