of 4 March 1987

concerning the stopping of fishing for salmon by vessels flying the flag of Denmark

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 last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 4027/86 (2), and in particular Article 10 (3) thereof,

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 4036/86 of 22 December 1986 allocating quotas between Member States for vessels fishing in Swedish waters (3), provides for salmon quotas for 1987;

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, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of salmon in the waters of ICES division III d (Swedish waters) by vessels flying the flag of Denmark or registered in Denmark have reached the quota allocated for 1987; whereas Denmark has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 28 February 1987; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
