Request:

ICES is requested to analyse for a list of stocks (as specified below) the role of the Total Allowable Catch instrument.  It is asked  to  assess  the  risks  of  removing  TAC  for  each  case  analysed  in  light  of  the  requirement  to  ensure  that  the  stock  concerned remains within safe biological limits in the short and middle term. ICES is further requested to assess the potential contribution of the application of other conservation tools in absence of TACs to the requirement that the stock concerned remains within safe biological limits.  

In cases where the uses of TAC should be continued, ICES is asked to analyse a possible approach to contribute to inter-annual stability of TACs.
