COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3538/84

of 17 December 1984

repealing Regulation (EEC) No 3378/84 concerning the stopping of fishing for sprat by vessels flying the flag of Germany

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2057/82 of 29 June 1982 establishing certain control measures for fishing activities by vessels of the Member States (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1729/83 (2), and in particular Article 10 (3) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3378/84 (3), stopped fishing for sprat in ICES divisions III b, c, d by vessels flying the flag of Germany or registered in Germany as from 1 December 1984;

Whereas, following an error in recording in a Member State, the information on catches of sprat by vessels flying the flag of Germany on which the Commission based itself in order to stop the fishing have proved to be incorrect;

Whereas the corrected information shows that the quota of sprat allocated to Germany for 1984 in ICES divisions III b, c, d was not exhausted, whereas, consequently, it is necessary to repeal Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3378/84,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3378/84 is hereby repealed.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

It shall apply with effect from 1 December 1984.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 17 December 1984.
