EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 
The Commission submitted on 10 December 1982 a proposal (C0M(82)825  final) 
for a Council Regulation concerning the management and control of certain 
catch quotas allocated for 1983 for vessels  flying  the flag of a Member

Annex I to the proposal includes catch quotas for the period 1 January 
to 31 December 1983  without,  except in one  case,  giving the  distribution 
between Member States. It is now proposed to allocate these quotas 
between Member States on the same basis as in 1982 by expanding Annex I 
accordingly.
