COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 3505/90 of 3 December 1990 concerning the stopping of fishing for plaice by vessels flying the flag of the United Kingdom

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), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3483/88 (2), and in particular Article 11 (3) thereof,

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 4047/89 of 19 December 1989 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1990 and certain conditions under which they may be fished (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1887/90 (4), provides for plaice quotas for 1990;

Whereas, in order to ensure compliance with the provisions relating to the quantitative 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 plaice in the waters of ICES division VII f and g by vessels flying the flag of the United Kingdom or registered in the United Kingdom have reached the quota allocated for 1990; whereas the United Kingdom has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 22 November 1990; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
