COMMISSION  OF THE  EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES 
COM(83)  199 final 
Brussels, 11  April  1983 
Proposal  for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION  (EEC) 
laying  down for 1983 certain  measures  for the conservation and 
management of fishery resources applicable to  vessels 
registered in the Faroe Islands 
(submitted to the  Council  by the Commission) 
COM(83)  199 final 

EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 
In accordance with the framework agreement on fisheries  between  the 
European  Economic Community on the one hand and the Government of Denmark 
and the Home Government of the Faroe Islands on the other, the two parties 
held  consultations o* their reciprocal conditions for fishing in 1983. 
These resulted on 12  January  1983 in an agreement on the subject of each 
party's  fishing rights in 1983 in the other's waters. 
The purpose of the Regulation proposed hereby is to establish a regime 
allowing  F'aroese  vessels  to fish in the Community fishery zone in accordance 
with the results of the abovementioned consultations as set out in the 
attached agreed record (1). 
Since the interim regime under which Faroes*  vessels  are authorized to fish 
at present in the Community's fishery zone (Regulation (EEC) no 180 /83) 
expires on 30  April  1983 it is necessary that a new regime is adopted before 
that date if an interruption of the reciprocal fishing activities  between 
the Community and -the".Far'oe'.Islands 11 to be avoided. 
Contrary  to the analoguous proposals made in previous years, this Regulation 
establishing a definite regime, is no longer based on  Article  43 of the 
Treaty  but on the Articles 3 and 11 of  Council  Regulation (EEC) No  170/83 
of 25  January  1983 establishing a Community system for the conservation and 
management of fishing resources (2). 
The reasons for utilizing a different procedure are firstly that the said 
Article  3 provides for the fixing of quotas allocated to  third  countries as 
well as for the fixing of shares of  TAC's  available to the Community. 
Secondly,paragraph  3 of  Article  10 of  Council  Regulation (EEC) No  2057/82 
of 29 June 1982 establishing certain control measures for fishing activities . 
by vessels  of the  Member  States  (3), authorizes the Commission to fix the date 
on which the  catches  made by fishing  vessels  from  Member  States  are deemed 
to have exhausted the quota allocated. 
These provisions are therefore the appropriate basis on which to implement 
fully  the arrangements negotiated with the Faroe Islands. 
(1) The agreed record was drafted in  English.  Consequently this version is 
the only one which has been agreed by the delegations.

cular  Article  2 thereof, the Community, on the one

Government of the Faroe Islands, on the other hand, 
have held consultations concerning their mutual 
fishing  rights for 1983;

agreed to recommend to their respective authorities 
that they fix certain catch  quotas  for 1983",  for vessels
