EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
By regulation (EEC) N° 4195/88 the Council has laid down for 1989 certain 
measures for the conservation and management of fishery resources 
applicable to vessels flying the flag of Norway. 
Following a Community request the Community and Norway have held 
consultations regarding an increase of the Community's 1989 catch 
possibilities of "Other species" in the Norwegian fishing zone south of 
62°N. As a result the catch quota allocated to the Community for 1989 was 
increased in exchange for an increase of Norway's 1989 ling and tusk quota 
It is therefore proposed to amend the above Regulation accordingly.

COMPETITIVENESS AND EMPLOYMENT IMPACT STATEMENT 
The object of the proposed Regulation is to increase, after consultations 
with Norway, the 1989 Norwegian catch quota of ling and tusk in the 
Community EEZ, taking into account that the fishing possibilities for the 
Community of "Other species" in Norwegian waters south of 62°N in 1989 were 
increased. 
The proposed Regulation will not involve undertakings in any particular 
obligations. Furthermore, ling and tusk are no species under a TAC and 
quota system in Community waters. 
RAPPORT DE L'IMPACT SUR LA COMPETITIVITE ET L'EMPLOI 
L'objet du Règlement proposé est d'augmenter après consultations avec la 
Norvège, le quota de captures 1989 de la Norvège pour le stock de la lingue 
et du brosme dans la ZEE de la Communauté, tenant compte du fait 
que les possibilités de captures de la Communauté en 1989 pour les "Autres 
espèces" dans les eaux norvégiennes au sud de 62°N ont été augmentées. 
Le Règlement proposé n'implique pas d'obligation particulière pour les 
entreprises. En outre, la lingue et le brosme ne sont pas des espèces 
sous un régime de TACs et quotas dans les eaux communautaires.
