COMMISSION COMMUNICATION TOCOUNCIL
CONCERNING 1978 MANAGEMENT OFGREENLAND ,
SKAGERRAK ,KATTEGAT AND BALTIC STOCKS
1.Theproposals forGreenland stocks take account ofthe
scientific organizations *TAC recommendations and the
Community /Canadian discussions on21November .Itwas then
found extremely difficult toevaluate the relative distri­
bution ofjoint stocks between theCanadian and theCommunity
zone and sowork out afair and satisfactory apportionment of
quotas between thetwo ,sothey arebased ontheassumption of
management inconcert with Canada ofthemixed stocks inICNAF
zones 0and 1,with the Community quotas calculated inclusive
ofcatches here inthe past bycertain third countries .
2. Ithas not been felt advisable atthis stage toapportion
catch possibilities among the individual Member States :
theproposals merely indicate the priority amounts tocover the
essential needs oflocal inshore fishermen established inGreen­
land ,whose economic activity isdependent onthe fishing ofthe
grounds inzones ICNAF 1and ICES XIV .
Baltic catch possibilities are taken aslimited tothe three
species forwhich TACs have been allocated toDenmark and Germany
respectively under the Baltic Convention towhich they are contracting
parties .

2
III . TheSkagerrak andKattegat TACstocks are taken asjoint
stocks formanagement inconcert with Sweden andNorway .The
TACs selected are inline with the conclusions ofthescientists
responsible .Onthis basis thequotas assigned theCommunity
represent thefindings ofthescientists' discussions ,including
the amounts for the Faroes .
Special problems arise bythesituation oftheFaroes .These problems have
still tobeexamined ;thepresent proposal does notprejudice theconclusion
ofthis examination .
Inthe case ofherring fishing should bebanned inthe
Skagerrak asconcerns the Danish zone from 1January to31March
and from 1October to31December owing tothe very close
intercommunication during these months with theNorth Sea
herring stock ,which isthesubject ofablanket ban ;similar
rules should besought from the Swedish and Norwegian authorities
inorder toensure onaconcerted and coherent basis that the
conservation arrangements for the North Sea herring stock are
fully effective .
