Cn15June 1973 Italy andYugoslavia concluded abilateral agreement under
which Italian fishermen areentitled tofish intheYugoslavi zone ofthe
Adriatic subject tocompensation being paid toYugoslavia . Inits
resolution of3November 197& "theCouncil recognised theneed topreserve
by"appropriate Community agreements "rights acquired byCommunity
fishermen innon–Community waters .Onthe same occasion the Council
took adecision authorizing the extension until 31December 1977 srtthe
latest ofthebilateral fishing agreement between Italy andYugoslavia
pending the conclusion ofafishing agreement between that country and
theCominunity •
With this inmind the Commission asked inthe course of1977 that the
Community andYugoslavia should enter into negotiations with ,aview to
concluding afishing agreement . Ithasturned out ,however ,that
Yugoslavia –inadesire todiscuss this matter inawider setting –is
notyet prepared toenter into negotiations for thepurpose ofconclud5_ng
afishing agreement with the Community assuch G
Anybreak inrelations between Yugoslavia and Italy inthis field ,would cause
serious problems for the fishermen concerned® The Council has extended
thebilateral .fishing arrangements between Italy andYugoslavia several -times .
TheCouncil last decided on19December 1978 "toauthorize Italy toextend
the bilateral fishing agreement with Yugoslavia until 30June 1979®
Intheabsence ofprogress innegotiations between theCommunity and
Yugoslavia afurther extension cfthe existing agreement upto31December 1979
isenvisaged .
Under the agreement inforce Italy paid 570million lire ineach ofthe
financial years 197^and1977 »Thepayment ofthis sumwasagreed upon
between Italy Yugoslavia inreturn for the admission of100trawlers
into Yugoslav waters .The cost istherefore approximately 71250 lire
per tonne®
After deducting theportion oftheexpenditure «*•about 2'jfo–tobepaid by
theowners ,the amount tobepaid byItaly andreimbursed bythe Coramuriity
onthebasis ofthe above figures isapproximately 420000EUA per annum®
Anincrease in .theexpenditure isexpected in1979 ?however ,although
negotiations onthematter between Italy andYugoslavia had notbeen
concluded when this proposal for atransfer wasprepared .
Anappropriation of600000EUA ,intended tocover this expenditure forthe
whole offinancial year 1979 *>ra-sentered inChapter 100cfthebudget
(Provisional appropriations ). Transfer ofthis sumfrom Chapter 100to
thebudget entry concerned (Article 89O–Reimbursements inrespect of
certain financial obligations relating tofishing intheAdriatic )is
consequently requested .
