COMMUNICATION TO THE COMMISSION 
Consultations between the Community and Norway, have resulted in an 
agreement on additional Community catch possibilities for "Other Species" 
in Norwegian waters, south of 62°N, in 1989, on the condition that the 
Community was prepared to increase the Norwegian quota for ling and tusk 
for 1989. Norway will be submitting a request to this effect at a later 
date. 
The aim of the present proposal for a regulation is to allocate among the 
Member States the increased quotas available for 1989 to Community vessels 
fishing in the Norwegian zone under the abovementioned arrangement. 
The Commission is called upon to approve this proposal and to have it 
•transmitted to the Council. The proposal should be adopted by the Council 
at its earliest convenience, in order to prevent any interruption of 
Community fisheries in Norwegian waters. 
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
By regulation (EEC) N° 4196/88 the Council has allocated among Member 
States the shares available for 1989 to Community vessels fishing in the 
Norwegian fishing zone. 
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 Norway agreed that the catch quota allocated to the 
Community for 1989 was increased on the condition that the Community was 
prepared to increase the Norwegian quota for ling and tusk for 1989. Norway 
will be submitting a request to this effect at a later date. 
It is therefore proposed to amend the above Regulation accordingly.
