table>(1)Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 2287/2003 (2) lays down an interim fishing effort limitation and additional conditions for monitoring, inspection and surveillance in the context of the recovery of certain fish stocks. Since then the Council has adopted Regulation (EC) No 423/2004 of 26 February 2004 establishing measures for the recovery of cod stocks (3). It is appropriate to align the provisions of Annex V to those in Regulation (EC) No 423/2004. Moreover the implementation of Annex V has shown that certain of its provisions need to be either clarified or made more flexible, in order to improve its applicability and effectiveness. It is necessary to ensure that any change to the scheme does not result in a lesser conservation value for the measures in question.
(2)Regulation (EC) No 2287/2003 should therefore be amended accordingly,
