COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 746/95 of 31 March 1995 amending Regulation (EC) No 3362/94 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1995 and certain conditions under which they may be fished

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 of 20 December 1992 establishing a Community system for fisheries and aquaculture (1), and in particular Article 8 (4) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas the Community and Norway agreed to fix their mutual fishing rights for the period until 31 March 1995 and to hold consultations on their mutual fishing rights for the whole of the year as early as possible in 1995;

Whereas these consultations have been successfully concluded; whereas it is therefore possible to fix the TACs, the Community shares and the quotas for joint stocks and where necessary, for other stocks, for the whole year of 1995;

Whereas, in the framework of the decisions taken at the Council meeting of 22 December 1994, certain Member States committed themselves to exchange part of their fishing possibilities; whereas these exchanges should be facilitated with a view to better utilizing fishing possibilities;

Whereas, in order to ensure a better utilization of fishing possibilities for anchovy, transfers of a part of a quota from the zone of allocation to an adjacent zone should be allowed;

Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 3362/94 (2) lays down, for certain fish stocks, and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1995 and certain conditions under which they may be fished;

Whereas the stock of prawns (Penaeus spp.) of French Guiana has to be included in Regulation (EC) No 3362/94; whereas it may be subject to a precautionary TAC which, according to the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries, can be the same as for 1994;

Whereas Regulation (EC) No 3362/94 should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
