COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1088/96 of 10 June 1996 amending Regulation (EC) No 3074/95 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1996 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 under the terms of Article 8 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 it is incumbent upon the Council to establish the total allowable catches (TACs) by fishery or group of fisheries;
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 3074/95 (2) fixes, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the TACs for 1996 and certain conditions under which they may be fished;
Whereas, due to the positive evolution of the stock of sprat in the Skagerrak and the Kattegat, a profitable use of the fishing possibilities allocated to the European Union for 1996 requires fishing this stock with nets with a maximum mesh size of 16 mm;
Whereas a review of the management system for North Sea herring is foreseen in 1996 for adoption in 1997;
Whereas it would be uneconomical for Community fishermen to purchase in the interim period nets of mesh sizes other than those which they are currently authorized to use;
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 3074/95 should be amended accordingly,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
In the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 3074/95 the table relating to the species 'sprat` and zone III a shall be replaced by the table set out in the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Luxembourg, 10 June 1996.
For the Council
The President
