C0M(79)525final.

EXPLANATORY MEMORMDUM .
1*TheCommission hasputbefore theCouncil arecommendation for
thesignature andconclusion ofanagreement between theCommunity
andtheSwedish Government onmeasures topromote salmon breeding
intheBaltic Sea .Theagreement provides foraCommunity
contribution towaxds thecost ofsalmon stocking programmes
implemented bytheSwedish Government inreturn for salmon catch
quotas forCommunity fishermen intheSwedish fishing zone .
2.Itseems fair that thefishermen hoping tobenefit from these
additional fishing possibilities should bear some ofthecost
entailed .
IftheCommunity decided tomeet thefull cost itmight bethought
unfair that other Community fishermen must themselves paythefees
charged bysome non-member countries forpermission .tofish in
their waters .
Moreover ,theDanish fishermen -whoarebytradition themost
interested insalmon fishing intheBaltic Sea-have already
contributed tothese breeding measures through ataxcharged by
theBanish Government onsalmon landings ,theproceeds ofwhich are
paid totheSwedish authorities .
Naturally ,this taxwould beabolished after adoption ofthe
.regulation proposed here .
3.TheCommission considers that themost appropriate wayofgetting
thefishermen inquestion tocontribute tothecost istocharge a
feeforfishing permits granted bySweden ,such permits tobeissued
tofishermen through theCommission andtheMember States .

However ,in1979 theCommunity didnotpaythefull contribution ,
&Blaid down intheagreement ,for thequota of300 tagreed for1979 *
During theconsultations held forthepurpose offixing thequotas
for1979 ,theSwedish Delegation agreed togrant aquota of300 t
ofsalmon fortheCommunity subject toafirm commitment "bythe
Community 'srepresentative that theCommunity would pay 2million
Swedish crowns towards thebreeding measures carried out in1979 *
Therepresentatives ofalltheMember States taking part inthese
consultations accepted this commitment *
Revenue from thefees shall bemade over totheCommunity budget under
theheading of"Other receipts ",destined tooffset inpart the
expenses incurred under theAgreement with Sweden .Itwould consequently
beareceipt directly covered byArticle 43aswell asArticle 40para­
graph 4oftheTreaty andshould not,therefore ,beconsidered as"own
resources "inthesence oftheDecision of21April 1970 .
