Whereas the continuation of fishing at the volume of captures provided for by Regulation (EEC) No. 198/83 in conjunction with Regulation (EEC) No. 172/83 will not be possible in certain zones in 1984 given the need to respect the scientific advice that the stocks in these zones are greatly reduced;
