"The Council assumes that the honourable Member is referring to the Total Allowable Catch and quotas adopted by the Council in December 2000. Against the background of the scientific opinion from the International Marine Research Council, recommending that lowest possible catches be adhered to during 2001 and that a recovery plan be implemented for the stock in question, the Council has laid down the Total Allowable Catch for hake, or what is known as the Northern stock, at 22 623 tonnes – ‘and four kilos’. On the basis of Article 15 of the Council’s Regulation No 3760/92, the Commission is, at present, considering a series of measures to promote the recovery of the stock.
The Council would call attention to the fact that the Northern stock is a biological concept. The Member States’ catch allocations are divided up on the basis of the International Marine Research Council’s administrative divisions with a view to complying with the principle of relative stability laid down in the aforesaid Regulation and in the accession document of 1985. According to this principle, only Denmark and Sweden may fish in the area comprising the Skagerrak and the Kattegat, and only Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom in those areas comprising the North Sea.
Article 161 of the 1985 accession document establishes Spain’s share of hake from the northern stock in Divisions Vb, VI, VII and VIIIab, that is to say the western waters including the Bay of Biscay, at 30 per cent. Spain has no rights in the divisions comprising the Skagerrak, Kattegat and North Sea.
Article 349 of the accession document restricts Portugal’s access to the Southern stock of hake."@en1
