EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1.Atitsannual meeting on .12September 1980 theFisheries Commission ofthe
r Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO )adopted proposals
forcatch quotas fortheyear 1981 ofcertain fish stocks occuring
intheRegulatory Area defined ,intheConvention onFuture Multilateral
Cooperation intheNorthwest Atlantic Fisheries ,towhich theCommunity
isaContracting Party .These proposals become measures "binding upon
allContracting Parties totheConvention on17November I98O .unless they
have lodged anobjection pursuant toArticle XIIoftheNAFO Convention .
TheCommunity representat ivevoted infavour ofthese proposals andthe
Commission sees noreason foranobjection bytheCommunity .
Consequently ,theCommunity wiLl bebound toadopt appropriate measures
toimplement thecatch limitations provided forintheproposals concerned .
This isthepurpose ofthepresent proposal . •
2. Since theNAFO proposal onsquid made on12September 1980 does not
provide foranyallocation ofquotas forCanada andtheCommunity , )■
the Commission proposes that the Community establish aquota for its /
'own fishermen which takes account oftheTACproposed byNAFO forthe total
stock and ofthe interests ofCommunity fishermen .
3. Theother elements oftheproposed ^Regulat ion,}concerning measures to
ensure adequate control offishing activity intheRegulatory Area ,
areunchanged from theprovisions ofthe^corresponding "Regulation for ]
