of 15 April 1987
concerning the stopping of fishing for saithe 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 Rgulation (EEC) No 2057/82 of 29 June 1982 establishing certain control measures for fishing activities (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 4027/86 (2), and in particular Article 10 (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 (3), provides for saithe quotas for 1987;
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 saithe in the waters of ICES divisions VII, VIII, IX and X; CECAF 34.1.1 (EC zone) by vessels flying the flag of the United Kingdom or registered in the United Kingdom have reached the quota allocated for 1987; whereas the United Kingdom has prohibited fishing for this stock as from 17 April 1987; whereas it is therefore necessary to abide by that date,
