Consequently, fishing for Greenland halibut in these waters by vessels flying the flag of Spain or registered in Spain should be authorised.\n(5)\nThis authorisation should take effect on 10 December 2005, in order to allow the quantity of Greenland halibut in question to be fished before the end of the year.\n(6)\nCommission Regulation (EC) No 1486/2005 should consequently be repealed with effect from 10 December 2005,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
