THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 170/83 of 25 January 1983 establishing a Community system for the conservation and management of fishery resources (1), and in particular Articles 3, 4 and 11 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas fishing activities for saithe in divisions III a, IV, II a (EEC zone) and III b, c and d (EEC zone) have provisionally been carried out in 1983 in accordance with Council Regulation (EEC) No 198/83 of 25 January 1983 on fishing activities in waters under the sovereignty or jurisdiction of the Member States, adopted provisionally pending the fixing of TACs and quotas for 1983 (2), in conjunction with Regulation (EEC) No 172/83 (3), until such time as the Council takes a decision on the Commission's proposals concerning TACs and quotas and the conditions for fishing applicable in 1983;

Whereas the Community's total allowable catch should be fixed in an appropriate way to take into account the interests of Community fishermen, whilst respecting conservation needs;

Whereas it is appropriate to allocate quotas of saithe in these divisions among the Member States in 1983 in a manner which assures relative stability of fishing activities;

Whereas, accordingly, Regulation (EEC) No 198/83 should be repealed to the extent required to take account of such allocation,
