EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Thepurpose ofthis proposal istopermit fishing inCommunity waters off
West Greenland ,byCanadian vessels orvessels under charter toCanadian
companies forathree –month period ,-with effect from 1February 1980 ,
pending theoutcome ofconsultations between theCommunity andCanada
concerning themanagement ofcertain joint fish stocks occurring inthese
waters .
Inconsultations held from 5"to10December 1979 delegations from theCommunity
andCanada agreed upon theextension for1980 oftheir Agreement onFisheries ;
concluded in1979 *Anagreement intheform ofanexchange ofletters providing
forprovisional application oftheextended Agreement wasinitialled bythe
Community on10December 1979 "th®Commission hassubmitted arecommendation
forsignature andapproval ofthis Agreement totheCouncil .Canadian authorities
will authorise fishing byCommunity vessels inCanadian waters from thedate at
which theCouncil decides tosign theAgreement .
ï \ ■ ,
.... ^ |
Theconsultations held atthesame time between theparties concerning the
management ofcertain joint fish stocks occurring intheDavis Strait and
Baffin Baywere ,however ,notconcluded ,andwill continue on28January ',1980 . .
Pending arrangement upon definitive arrangements concerning these joint stocks '
fortheyear 1980 ,andtaking into account thefact that theCanadian autho-v
rities have agreed toauthorise fishing by -Community vessels inCanadian waters ,
$.ssoon astheCouncil decides tosign theinitialled Agreement ttheCommission
considers itnecessary fortheCommunity toallow limited reciprocal fishing
.byCanadian vessels inWest Greenland waters .
TheCanadian authorities have made their Agreement toajoint management or
arrangement conditional upon theCommunity 'sacceptance that anumber of
Norwegian andFaeroese vessels under charter toCanadian companies bepermitted
tofish allocations toCanada .Ithasbeen emphasised byCanada that theuseof
chartered vessels isatemporary arrangement with aview tofacilitating the
development ofCanadian fishing operations inthese waters ,which will not
extend beyond theyear 1980 .Inview ofthepossibilities which theCommunity
hasunder these arrangements tomake over part ofitsownallocation in
Canadian waters from these joint stocks tonon-Community vessels ,theCommission
believes that itisintheCommunity ^interest toaccede totheCanadian
request .

-2-
The Commission proposes that theallocation toCanada for the three month ,
period inquestion be -limited to25$ofthe1979 allocations toCanada in
Community waters .Canada will inexchange allow Community vessels tofish
asimilar share oftheir 1979 quotas inCanadian waters .
