Whereas, under Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 170/83, the conservation measures necessary to achieve the aims set out in Article 1 of that Regulation have to be worked out by the Council in the light of the available scientific advice;
Whereas the Convention on future multilateral cooperation in the north-east Atlantic fisheries was approved by Decision 81/608/EEC(2); whereas it entered into force on 17 March 1982;
Whereas the Commission established under the Convention adopted, on 28 November 1984, a recommendation on the minimum mesh size for fishing capelin in that part of the area of the Convention which extends beyond the zones falling within the fisheries jurisdiction of the Contracting Parties and this recommendation became binding upon the Community on 26 January 1985;
Whereas the Community must now take action to implement that recommendation in respect of Community vessels,

Vessels flying the flag of, or registered in, a Member State shall be prohibited from using nets with a mesh size of less than 16 mm when fishing for capelin in that part of the Convention zone which extends beyond the maritime waters falling within the fisheries jurisdiction of the Contracting Parties to this Convention.
The definition of the Convention zone is to be found in the Annex.
A vessel shall be deemed to be fishing for capelin if it has capelin on board which exceeds 50 % by weight of the total amount of capelin and other species on board.
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
