COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 991/92 of 21 April 1992 concerning the stopping of fishing for common sole by vessels flying the flag of Ireland

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

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 3882/91 of 18 December 1991 fixing, for certain fish stocks and groups of fish stocks, the total allowable catches for 1992 and certain conditions under which they may be fished (3), provides for common sole quotas for 1992;

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 common sole in the waters of ICES divisions VII f and g by vessels flying the flag of Ireland or registered in Ireland have reached the quota allocated for 1992; whereas Ireland has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 3 April 1992; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Fishing for common sole in the waters of ICES divisions VII f and g by vessels flying the flag of Ireland or registered in Ireland is prohibited, as well as the retention on board, the transhipment and the landing of such stock captured by the abovementioned vessels after the date of application of this Regulation.

Article2¶

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

It shall apply with effect from 3 April 1992. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 21 April 1992. For the Commission
