Proposal,  for a 
COUNCIL  REGULATION  (EEC) 
Laying  down for 1983 certain  measures  for the conservation 
and management  of fishery resources applicable to vessels 
flying  the  flag  of Norway 

EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 
In accordance with the framework agreement on fisheries  between  the 
European  Economic Community and  Norway,  the two parties held consultations 
on their fisheries relations in 1983. These consultations resulted in the 
initialling  of an agreement establishing reciprocal fishing rights in 1983 
and total allowable  catches  (TAC) for certain joint  stocks  in the North Sea 
and their allocation  between  the parties. 
The purpose of the Regulation proposed hereby is to establish a regime 
allowing  Norwegianvessel s to fish in the Community fishery  zone  in accordance 
with the results of the abovementioned consultations as set out in the 
attached agreed record  (1). 
Since  the  interim  regime  under  which  Norwegian  vessels are  authorized  to fish

well as for the fixing of chare; cf  TAC's  available to the Community. 
Secondly,paragraph  3 of  Article  10 of  Council  Regulation (EEC) No  2057/82

by vessels  of the Member  States  (3), authorizes the Commission to fix the date

Whereas  following the introduction of a  CFF  new instruments are at the 
disposal of the Community for the implementation of the results of consul­

agreed record by signing the exchange of letters. The Norwegian authorities 
have consented to such a procedure* The  Council  therefore  will  not have to

Agreed  record of conclusion- of fishery consultations  between  Norway and 
the European  Economic Community, Brussels 14 December 1982 
1.1. A Norwegian  deU-aa  •••©«•.,  headed by Mr,. F.  8ERGESEN  and a Community 
delegation, headed by Mr. R„  SIMONNET,  met in Brussels  from  13 to 14 December 
1982 to consult on mutual fisheries relations for 1983. 
2. The meeting in Brussels was a continuation of previous  meetings 
in Oslo. 
3. The delegations initialled the attached exchange of  letters  concerning 
fishery  arrangements for 1983. These arrangements shall be applied provisionally 
as from  1 January  1983._ 
II. 1.1.  With  respect to  North  Sea sprat and the Western mackerel stock, the 
Community  delegation considered  these  to be exclusive Community stocks 
whereas the Norwegian delegation held the view that they are joint stocks. 
In the absence of, agreement on a joint management of  these  stocks, 
each Party  will  manage them autonomously. • 
1.2. The Norwegian delegation in this connection repeated its interest 
in obtaining catch  statistics  from  the mackerel fishing in  ICES  sub-areas 
VI and VII. 
2. With.respect to "the Norwegian quotas .for shrimp in Greenland waters 
the delegations  agreed  that consultations  will  be held to  review  these quotas 
if scientific  recommendations for  1983  are significantly different  from  those 
given for  1982. 

- 2 -
3. With  respect  to the  Norwegian quota  for  herring  in  ICES division  Via, 
the delegations agreed  that  if the  TAC should  be  fixed  at a  level higher 
than  70. 000  tons, consultations  will  be  held  with  a view  to  achieving  a 
proportional increase  in the  Norwegian quota fixed  for  this area  in 1983. 
* 
4. The  Community delegation informed  the  Norwegian delegation about  the 
measures  the  Community might introduce,  in the  course  of 1983. 
5. If the  situation  of the cod  stocks  off  West*  and  East Greenland 
improves  and the  Community decides  to authorize fishing  by  EEC fishermen 
other than Greenland fishermen,  the two  Parties  will  consult about  the 
possibility  of  establishing  a quota  for  Norway  for  these  stocks. 
6. The  Norwegian delegation stressed  that  the  rate  and  pattern  of 
exploitation,  for  certain demersal  joint  stocks  in the  North  Sea  were 
unsatisfactory  and  emphasized  the  need  for  further reductions  in fishing 
mortality,  i.icredstd  f,,es.. sizes ar.d  ^ryvcc!  control  of the  by-catch 
regulations  in the  industrial fisheries.

Proposal  for a 
COUNCIL  REGULATION  (EEC) 
Laying  down certain measures for the conservation and 
management of fishery resources applicable to vessels 
flying  the flag of Sweden 

EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 
In accordance  with  the framework agreement on fisheries between the 
European  Economic Community and  Sweden,  the two parties held consultations 
on their fisheries relations in 1983. These consultations resulted in the 
initialling of an agreement establishing reciprocal fishing rights in 1983 
and total  allowable catches (TAC) for certain  joint  stocks in the Kattegat 
and their allocation between the parties. 
The purpose of the Regulation proposed hereby is to establish a regime 
allowing Swedish  vessels  to fish in the Community fishery zone in accordance 
with  the results of the abovementioned consultations as set out in the 
attached agreed record (1). 
Since  the  interim  regime under which Swedish  vessels  are authorized to fish 
at present in the Community's fishery zone (Regulation (EEC) no 179/83) 
expires on 30 April 1983 it is necessary  that  a new regime is adopted before 
that  date if an  interruption  of the reciprocal fishing activities between 
the Community and Sweden is to be avoided. 
Contrary to the analoguous proposals made in previous years, this Regulation 
establishing a definite regime, is no longer based on Article 43 of the 
Treaty but on the Article 3 and 11 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 170/83 
of 25 January 1983 establishing a Community system for the conservation and 
management of fishing resources (2). 
The reasons for utilizing a  different  procedure are  firstly  that  the said 
Article 3 provides for the fixing of quotas allocated to  third  countries as 
well as for the fixing of shares of  TAC's  available to the Community. 
Secondly,paragraph  3 of Article 10 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2057/82 
of 29 June 1982 establishing certain control measures for fishing activities 
by vessels  of the Member States (3), authorizesthe Commission to fix the date 
on which the catches made by fishing  vessels  from  Member States are deemed 
to have exhausted the quota allocated. 
./-· 
(1) The agreed record was drafted in  English.  Consequently this version is 
the only one which has been agreed by the delegations.

(3) OJ No L 220 of 29 July 1982, p. 1 

- 2 -
These  provisions are therefore the appropriate basis on which to implement 
fully  the arrangements negotiated  with  Sweden. 
Whereas  following the introduction of  a CFP  new instruments are at the 
disposal  of the Community for the implementation of the results of consul­
tations  with  third  countries, it is not necessary to formalize the attached 
agreed  record by signing the exchange of letters. The Swedish authorities 
have  consented to such a procedure. The Council therefore  will  not have to 
adopt a Regulation authorizing the signature of the exchange of letters as 
was the  case  in previous years. Consequently, it follows  that  consultation 
of the European Parliament is no longer required. 

Proposal  for a 
COUNCIL  REGULATION  (EEC) 
laying  down  certain  measures  for the  conservation and  management  of fishery  resource! 
applicable  to vessejj  flying  the flag of Sweden 
THE  COUNCIL OF THE  EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard  to the  Treaty establishing  the European 
Economic  Community, HAS  ADOPTED  THIS REGULATION:

Community  system  for the  conservation  and 
management  of fishery  resources  (/\), and in 
particular  Articles  3 and 11  thereof, 
Having  regard  to the  proposal  from  the 
Commission 1. Fishing  by vessels flying  the  flag  of Sweden  in the 
200-qautical-mile zone  of the  Member States  in the 
North  Sea,  Skagerrak, Kattegat,  the  Baltic  Sea, the 
Labrador  Sea, Davis Strait, Baffin  B.iy and the  Atlantic  .

Regulation. 
Whereas  in accordance  with  the  procedure provided  for 
by the  Fisheries Agreement between  the  European 
Economic  Community  and the  Government  of 
Sweden  (J), and in  particular Articles  2 and  6 thereof, 
the Community  and  Sweden have held consultations 
concerning  their mutual fishing rights  for 1983  and the 
management  of common biological resources! 2. Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of paragraph  1, 
fishing by vessels flying  the flag of Sweden  is authorized 
without quantitative limits  in the  Skagerrak,  Kattegat 
arid ©resund. 
3. For the  purposes  of this Regulation: 
Whereas,  on the  conclusion  of these consultations,  the 
two delegations initialled  an Agreement  in the  form  of 
an exchange  of letters; 
Whereas  the  Agreement  of 14 December  1966  between 
Denmark, Norway  and  Sweden  on  mutual  access  to 
fishing  in Skagerrak  and  Kattegat provides  that  each

Parties within  its fishing zone  in Skagerrak  and  part  of 
Kattegat seawards  of four nautical miles from  the 
base-lines,  without quantitative limitations; 
Whereas  the  Convention  of .31 December  1932  between 
Denmark  and  Sweden concerning fishing conditions  in 
the maritime waters bordering  on both Parties provides 
that each  I'arty  shall grant  access  lo fishing  by vessels  of 
the other Party within  its fishing zone  in the  Kattegat 
seawards  of three nautical miles from  the  coast  and in 
certain parts  of ©resund  and the  Baltic  Sea up to the 
base-lines,  without quantitative limitations, 
Whereas  the  interim regime  laid  down  in  Regu­
lation  (EEC) Mo. 179 / 83 (3)  authorizing  fish­
ing by  Swedish  vessels  in the  Community  fishe­
ry zone,  which  expires  on 30  Af.ril  1983 ,  should
