Council Regulation (EU) 2017/1970 (1) establishes, among others, the fishing opportunities for herring in ICES Subdivisions 30-31 (‘the Gulf of Bothnia herring stock’) in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/1139 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2). |

Following that amendment to Regulation (EU) 2016/1139, the fishing opportunities for the Gulf of Bothnia herring stock should be increased. |
|
(4) |
Regulation (EU) 2017/1970 should therefore be amended accordingly. |
|
(5) |
The main season for the herring fishery using trap nets starts in May. In order for Member States to allocate the fishing opportunities at national level as soon as possible, this Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication, |
