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 Council Regulation (EC) No 3365/94 (2) allocates, for 1995, certain catch quotas between Member States for vessels fishing in Faroese waters;

Whereas these consultations have been concluded and, as a result, the abovementioned catch quota allocated to the Community has been reduced;

Whereas, to ensure efficient management of the catch possibilities available, they should be allocated among Member States as quotas in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
