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 Article 11 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas, under Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 170/83, it falls to the Council to fix the total allowable catches by stock or group of stocks, the share available to the Community and the specific conditions for taking those catches; whereas, under the terms of Article 4 of that Regulation, the share available to the Community is allocated among the Member States;

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 4034/86 (2), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1365/87 (3), fixes for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1987 and certain conditions under which they may be fished;

Whereas, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 2 of the Fisheries Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway (4), the parties have had further consultatons on their reciprocal fishing rights for 1987 in order to take account of the necessity for a rational management of the biological resources in the light of the latest scientific advice on the state of the stocks of cod in the North Sea;

Whereas these consultatons have been successfully concluded and in consequence the total allowable catch of this stock and the share thereof available to the Community can be increased;

Whereas it is appropriate to fix at the same time the total allowable catch for herring in the zone West Scotland (excluding Clyde), Rockall and South Faroe,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
