COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1728/83

of 20 June 1983

concerning the management and control of certain catch quotas allocated for 1983 for vessels flying the flag of a Member State and fishing in the Regulatory Area defined in the NAFO Convention

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),

Whereas the Convention on Future Multilateral Cooperation in the North-West Atlantic Fisheries (2), hereinafter referred to as 'the NAFO Convention', was approved by the Council in its Regulation (EEC) No 3179/78 (3);

Whereas the NAFO Convention entered into force on 1 January 1979;

Whereas the Fisheries Commission of the North-West Atlantic Fisheries Organization adopted on 15 September 1982 a proposal establishing limitations for catches of certain species in the Regulatory Area for 1983, which became a measure binding upon the Community on 27 December 1982;

Whereas it is the responsibility of the Community to take appropriate steps to ensure compliance by Community vessels with the said measure;

Whereas the NAFO Commission proposal on squid, made on 15 September 1982, does not provide for specific quotas for Canada and the Community; whereas the Community should therefore establish a quota for its own fishermen at a level which takes account both of the TAC proposed by NAFO for the entire stock and of the interests of Community fishermen;

Whereas information about catches by Community vessels should be made available to their respective Member States and to the Commission in order to ensure that these quotas are complied with,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

• 1. 

  From 1 January to 31 December 1983, catches of the species mentioned in Annex I, by vessels flying the flag of a Member State in the Regulatory Area, as defined in Article 1 (2) of the NAFO Convention, shall be limited, within the parts of the Regulatory Area referred to in the said Annex, to the quotas set out therein.

• 2. 

  By-catches of the species referred to in Annex I taken in those areas in which no allocation for a directed fishery is provided by this Regulation shall not exceed for each of the species on board the vessel, listed in Annex I, 2 500 kilograms or 10 % by weight of all fish on board the vessel, whichever is the greater.

Article 2

• 1. 

  Vessels fishing in the area referred to in Article 1 shall keep a log-book in which the information specified in Annex II is to be entered.

• 2. 

  Vessels fishing in the area referred to in Article 1 shall transmit to the authorities of their flag State by the 16th day of each month in respect of the first half of that month and by the first day of each month in respect of the second half of the preceding month, reports concerning their catches in the said area. Such reports shall give catches in tonnes by species and quota area for the period covered by the report.

• 3. 

  Vessels intending to fish in the Regulatory Area for a particular stock for which no quota has been allocated to the Community, shall transmit to the authorities of their flag State notification of such an intention, at least 72 hours before starting to fish for an amount allocated to 'Others' for that stock, together, if possible, with an estimate of the projected catch. Vessels engaging in such a fishery shall transmit to the authorities of their flag State reports of catches from that stock, at 48-hour...
