Proposal for a Council Regulation (EC) fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1998 and certain conditions under which they may be fished
COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES Brussels, 11. 12. 1997 COM(97) 669 final Proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION ŒO fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1998 and certain conditions under which they may be fished (presented by the Commission) EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM This proposal for a Council Regulation fixes the Total Allowable Catches (TAC's) for 1998, the Community share of them, the distribution of those shares as quotas among Member States and the conditions under which the quotas may be fished. The fixing and the sharing of possibilities for fishing falls exclusively within the competence of the Community and arises from obligations set out in Article 8(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 of the Council of 20 December 1992. Essentially, this proposal contains the same elements as the proposal for 1997 TACs, updated where possible in the light of scientific advice. In the case of autonomous stocks where the Advisory Committee on Fishery Management (ACFM) based its advice on analytical assessments and where the EC Scientific Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) has further reviewed the advice of ACFM, the TAC's proposed are based on the advice of these committees. In the case of autonomous stocks for which no analytical assessments are available, TAC's (precautionary TAC's) have been proposed. In such cases, the Commission has based its proposal on advice either from ACFM or from STECF wherever these bodies give an explicit value for. the TAC. Where no explicit value is given, the proposed value is equal to that adopted last year by the Council. Consultations between the Community and Norway to agree on reciprocal fisheries arrangements for 1998are still in progress. These arrangements imply, inter alio, certain catch quotas for Norwegian vessels in Community waters. The most recent report of ACFM. endorsed by STECF, indicates that in Regions 1 and 2, many of the stocks of demersal fish, particularly cod, haddock, saithe. whiting, hake and plaice are too heavily exploited and are considered to be in a state which is actually or potentially outside safe biological limits. Analytical assessments of the state of a number of demersal stocks in Region 3 are also available. Depending on the stock in question, ACFM have recommended management action implying the imposition of restrictive TAC's and such recommendations are reflected in this proposal. In the case of sardine, a set of new measures has been proposed to halt its decline. As regards certain pelagic fish, ACFM and STECF also point to grave concern over the state of stocks of herring in the North Sea and of mackerel. The TACs for both of these stocks are included in the annual consultations with Norway which are still in progress. Given that certain technical measures should be implemented as from 1 January 1998, they are included in the proposal in the form of temporary derogations to the main rules, while waiting for the corresponding regulations to be amended accordingly. In particular: The prohibition for beam trawling in the Southern North Sea, established in Article 10(3) of Regulation (EEC) No894/97 (Plaice box), is extended to the whole year 1998. The summer ban on cod fishing in the Baltic is set from 10 June to 20 August 1998. A new box. banning temporarily all fishing, is set in the Baltic Sea The dates of certain closures for flatfish fishine in the Baltic are modified. The mesh size for fixed gears fishing for sole in ICES division Vlld is set at 90mm. Finally, Article 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No 847/96, introducing additional conditions for year-to- year management of TACs and quotas, requires the Council to decide which stocks are subject to the various measures fixed therein. This is dealt with by this proposal under annex III. A ^lo Proposai for a COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No /97 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1998 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 , and in particular Article 8(4) thereof, Having regard to the 1994 Act of Accession, and in particular Articles 121 and 122 thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, Whereas Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92 requires the Council to formulate, in the light of the available scientific advice and, in particular, of the report prepared by the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries, the measures necessary to ensure the rational and responsible exploitation of resources on a sustainable basis; Whereas a management regime making full use of the new management possibilities given by Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92, and in particular the management of catch limitations on a pluriannual and multispecies basis, cannot yet be achieved, due to the need to put into force certain measures for the control of fisheries, to further develop the appropriate administrative framework for a system of limitation of fishing effort, and to enhance scientific knowledge; whereas, until such a management regime is consolidated, limitation of exploitation rates should be guaranteed by the current TAC system; OJ No L 389. 3 1. 12. 1992, p. 1. Regulation as amended by the 1994 Act of Accession. 1C Whereas, under the terms of Article 8(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3760/92, it is incumbent upon the Council, in accordance with Article 4, to establish the total allowable catches (TAC) by fishery or group of fisheries; whereas fishing opportunities should be allocated to Member States in accordance with Article 8(4)(ii) of that Regulation; Whereas it is necessary to establish the principles and certain procedures of fishery management at the Community level, so that Member States can ensure the management of the vessels flying their flag; Whereas, in order to ensure effective management of these TACs, the specific conditions under which fishing operations occur should be established; Whereas, in accordance with the provisions laid down in Article 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No 847/96 of 6 May 1996 introducing additional conditions for year to year management of TACs and quotas , it is necessary to indicate which stocks are subject to the various measures fixed therein; Whereas, in the case of certain stocks fished mainly for reduction to meal and oil, it does not appear necessary to make quota allocations; Whereas certain stocks of fish in the North Sea should be subject to a TAC for the first time in 1998 in order to guarantee a sustainable use of the resources; Whereas, in order to prevent overfishing, the Community fisheries for Atlanto-Scandian herring in area II and Horse mackerel in area II, IV and area Vb, VI, VII, VIIIabde,XII, XIV should be subjected to allocation among Member States so as these fisheries are properly monitored; 0. 1 No L 1 15, 9. 5. 1996, p. 3. Whereas in accordance with the second sub-paragraph of Article 8(4) of Regulation (EEC) No. 3760/92, the allocation shall assure relative stability of fishing activities; whereas relative stability can in this case be represented by the catch over a recent and representative period; Whereas, in order to ensure a better exploitation of the quotas of herring, anchovy, hake, blue whiting, mackerel and megrim, transfers of a part of the quotas from the zone of allocation to adjacent zones should be allowed; Whereas, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 2 of the Agreement on fisheries between the European Economic Community, of the one part, and the Government of Denmark and the Home Government of the Faroe Islands, of the other part3, the Parties have consulted on their reciprocal fishing rights for 1998; whereas these consultations have been successfully concluded; whereas, as a result, it is possible to fix the TACs, the Community shares and the quotas for certain joint and autonomous stocks, of which part is allocated to the Faroe Islands; Whereas, in accordance with the procedure provided in Articles 2 and 7 of the Fisheries Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway , the Community and Norway have held consultations concerning mutual fishing rights for 1998; whereas these consultations have been successfully concluded and therefore it is possible to fix the TACs, the Community shares and the quotas for joint stocks and, where necessary, for other stocks; Whereas the International Baltic Sea Fishery Commission has recommended TACs for the stocks of cod, salmon, herring and sprat occurring in the waters of the Baltic Sea and the shares thereof for each contracting party; whereas it is appropriate to implement those recommendations; Whereas the Community has signed the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which contains principles and rules relating to the conservation and management of the living resources of the sea; OJ No L 226, 29. 8. 1980, p. 12. OJ No L 226, 29. 8. 1980, p. 48. Whereas, in the framework of its wider international obligations, the Community participates in efforts to conserve fish stocks arising in international waters; whereas the extent to which such stocks are fished by vessels of the Community should be viewed in the light of overall fishing activity and the contribution made hitherto by the Community towards their conservation should be taken into account; Whereas, pursuant to Article 122 of the 1994 Act of Accession, the conditions under which allocations made within the framework of the Accession can be fished will remain identical to those applicable immediately prior to the entry into force of the 1994 Treaty of Accession; Whereas improved economical utilization of Baltic stocks of herring requires them to be used for purposes other than direct human consumption; whereas the state of these stocks is such that, under appropriate management, there is no danger in implementing such a measure; Whereas massive catches of young flatfish can be taken in the Southern North Sea in autumn; whereas protection should be given to these fish, in order to achieve a better exploitation; Whereas the International Baltic Sea Fisheries Commission has recommended certain technical measures for resource conservation to be implemented by its Contracting Parties with effect from 1 January 1998; Whereas the economical effectiveness of the fishery for horse mackerel in zones VIIIc and IX may be improved by the landing of small horse mackerel within limits compatible with the sustainabilitv of the resource; Whereas the rebuilding of the stock of herring in the North Sea requires that the special management measures stipulated in Regulation (EC) No 1602/96 should be continued in nanas 998; Whereas the conditions defined in Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 390/97 of 20 December 1997 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups offish stocks, the total allowable OJ NoL 198, 8. 8. 1996, p. 1. 0. 1 No L 66, 6. 3. 1997, p. 1. catches for 1998 and certain conditions under which they may be fished 1996 for fishing for sprat in ICES Division Ilia should be maintained; Whereas, according to scientific advice, the economic efficiency of the exploitation of sole in ICES Division Vlld may be improved by the use of fixed gears of 90 mm mesh withouth putting fish resources at risk; Whereas protection of nursery areas should be provided for, taking into account the specific biological conditions in the various zones concerned, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1 This Regulation fixes for 1998, for certain fish stocks and groups offish stocks, total allowable catches (TACs) per stock or group of stocks, the share of these catches available to the Community, the allocation of that share among Member States and the specific conditions under which these stocks may be fished.
