COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3472/87

of 19 November 1987

concerning the stopping of fishing for saithe by vessels flying the flag of Germany

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2241/87 of 23 July 1987 establishing certain control measures for fishing activities (1), and in particular Article 11 (3) thereof,

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 4034/86 of 22 December 1986, fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, total allowable catches for 1987 and certain conditions under which they may be fished (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2999/87 (3), provides for saithe quotas for 1987;

Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitiative limitations on catches of stocks subject to quotas, it is necessary for the Commission to fix the date by which catches made by vessels flying the flag of a Member State are deemed to have exhausted the quota allocated;

Whereas, according to the information communicated to the Commission, catches of saithe in the waters of ICES divisions Vb (EC-zone), VI, XII and XIV by vessels flying the flag of Germany or registered in Germany have reached the quota allocated for 1987; whereas Germany has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 15 November 1987; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
