COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3165/87

of 22 October 1987

repealing Regulation (EEC) No 3041/87 concerning the stopping of fishing for horse mackerel by vessels flying the flag of a Member State apart from Spain and Portugal

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2241/87 of 23 July 1987 establishing certain control measures for fishing activities (1), and in particular Article 11 (3) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3041/87 (2) stopped fishing for horse mackerel in ICES division VIII, excluding VIII c, by vessels flying the flag of a Member State apart from Spain and Portugal or registered in a Member State apart from Spain and Portugal as from 11 October 1987;

Whereas Spain has made a transfer to France of horse mackerel in ICES division VIII, excluding VIII c; whereas fishing for horse mackerel in ICES division VIII, excluding VIII c, by vessels flying the flag of France should therefore be permitted; whereas, consequently it is necessary to repeal Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3041/87;

Whereas fishing for this stock remains prohibited for vessels flying the flag of France or registered in France between the date of publication of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3041/87 and the date of publication of this Regulation,
