COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3173/88

of 14 October 1988

amending Regulation (EEC) No 3977/87 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1988 and certain conditions under which they may be fished

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 pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 170/83 it is incumbent upon the Council to establish the total allowable catches (TAC) by stock or group of stocks, the share available to the Community and the specific conditions under which these catches must be taken; whereas pursuant to Article 4 of the same Regulation, the share available to the Community is allocated among the Member States;

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3977/87 (2) fixes, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the TAC for 1988 and certain conditions under which they may be fished:

Whereas, taking account of the latest scientific advice, it is necessary to limit fishing on spawning concentrations of herring in the geographical regions south-east Ireland and Great Sole; whereas higher catches may be taken if spawning fish are protected and, therefore, the total allowable catch of herring in ICES divisions VII g, h, j and k may be increasd;

Whereas, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 2 on the Fisheries Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Sweden (3) the parties have consulted on the consequences of the extension of the Swedish fishing jurisdiction in the Baltic Sea;

Whereas these consultations have been successfully concluded and, as a result, it is possible to fix the quantities of cod and salmon which may be fished by the Community in the waters concerned,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1
