COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2664/84

of 18 September 1984

amending for the fourth time Regulation (EEC) No 171/83 laying down certain technical measures for the conservation of fishery resources

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 170/83 of 25 January 1983 establishing a Community system for the conservation and management of fishery resources (1), and in particular Article 11 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas, under Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 170/83, the Council has to work out, in the light of the available scientific advice and, in particular, of the report prepared by the Scientific and Technical Committee for Fisheries, the conservation measures necessary to achieve the aims set out in Article 1 of that Regulation;

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 171/83 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2178/84 (3), lays down general rules for the fishing of biological resources found in Community waters;

Whereas mackerel fishing should be more strictly regulated in ICES division VII,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 171/83 is hereby replaced by the following:

'Article 15

unless the weight of mackerel does not exceed 15 % by weight of the total quantities of mackerel and other species on board caught in the area.

The first subparagraph shall not apply to vessels fishing with gill nets and handlines.

Nor shall it apply to vessels fishing with bottom trawls, Danish seines or other similar nets...
