COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 708/83
of 28 March 1983
laying down certain measures for the conservation and management of fishery resources applicable to vessels flying the flag of certain non-member countries in the 200-nautical-mile zone off the coast of the French department of Guyana
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 (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas since 1977 the Community has operated a system of conservation and management of fishery resources applicable to vessels flying the flag of certain non-member countries in the 200-nautical-mile zone off the coast of the French department of Guyana, most recently laid down by Regulation (EEC) No 1177/82 (3); whereas the latter expired on 31 March 1983;
Whereas the continuity of the system beyond the date mentioned should be assured, in particular by maintaining the restriction on shrimp fishing in the zone in order to conserve the stock and ensure adequate profitability for the fishermen concerned;
Whereas the shrimp-processing industry based in the French department of Guyana depends on landings from vessels of non-member countries operating in the fishing zone of that department;
Whereas, therefore, it is necessary to ensure that those vessels which are under contract to land their catches in the French department of Guyana can continue to fish;
Whereas the technical and control measures applicable under Regulation (EEC) No 1177/82 should be maintained,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
-
1.Vessels flying the flag of one of the countries listed in Annex I shall be authorized, during the period 1 April 1983 to 31 March 1984, to catch the species listed in the said Annex in the fishing zone of 200 nautical miles off the coast of the French department of Guyana, in conformity with the conditions laid down in this Regulation.
-
2.By-catches shall be authorized provided they are taken whilst fishing as authorized by a licence as referred to in Article 2.
Article 2
-
1.Fishing in the fishery zone referred to in Article 1 shall be subject to the possession on board of a licence, issued by the Commission on behalf of the Community, and to the observance of the conditions set out in that licence and the control measures and other provisions regulating fishing activities in that zone.
-
2.Such licences shall be issued on request to the authorities of the non-member countries concerned.
-
3.The registration letters and numbers of a vessel in possession of a licence must be clearly marked on both sides of the prow and on both sides of the superstructure at the most visible point. The letters and numbers must be painted in a colour that contrasts with the colour of the hull or superstructure and must not be effaced, altered, covered or masked in any other way.
Article 3
-
1.Licences may be issued for shrimp fishing to vessels which fly the flag of one of the countries listed in point 1 of Annex I and which are under contract to land all their catches in the French department of Guyana. The maximum number of licences is specified in point 1 of Annex I. In addition to these licences, 11 temporarily renewable licences may be issued under the same conditions.
-
2.These licences shall cease to be valid when the contract concerned comes to an end, and in any case not later than 31...
