EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
The protocol annexed to the fisheries agreement between EEC and Guinea-
Bissau expires on 15 June. A new protocol was initialled by the two parties 
on 5 May setting technical and financial terms governing fishing by EEC 
vessels in Guinea-Bissau waters for the period 16 June 1993 to 15 June 1995. 
The new protocol maintains fishing rights for shrimps at 11 000 GRT but 
reduces them from 6 000 to 4 000 GRT for fin fish/cephalopods. The total 
number of tuna vessels and surface longliners remains 32. 
The cost to the EEC budget of payment for these rights is reduced to 
ECU 12.7 million for the two-year period, in line with the reduction. 
The Commission proposes on this basis that the Council adopt 
- by a Decision, the proposal for an agreement in the form of an exchange 
of letters on provisional application of the new protocol pending its 
entry into force 
- by a Regulation, the protocol setting fishing rights and the technical 
and financial terms thereof agreed between the EEC and Guinea-Bissau from
