Ud over disse ændringer har Rådet på forslag af Kommissionen indført en midlertidig afvigelse fra artikel 8, stk. 1, i forordning (EØF) nr. 171/83 ved at tillade, at bifangster af hvilling taget i forbindelse med sperlingfiskeri i Nordsøen i perioden fra den 1. oktober 1984 til den 31. maj 1985 må udgøre 18 % (i stedet for 10 % under forudsætning af, at bifangsterne af de øvrige hvide fiskearter (torsk, kuller osv.) bringes ned fra 10 % til 8 % 4)).
In addition to these amendments, acting on a proposal from the Commis­sion the Council introduced a temporary derogation from Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 171/83 when it authorized, for the period from 1 October 1984 to 31 May 1985, a by-catch rate of whiting in fishing for Norway pout in the North Sea of 18% instead of 10%, provided that the by-catch of other whitefish. such as cod. haddock etc. was reduced from 10% to 8%.2
