EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

Cm mi i 

By regulation  (EEC) N° 4195/88 the Council has laid down for  1989 certain 

measures for the conservation and management of fishery resources 

applicable to vessels flying the flag of Norway. 

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 the catch quota allocated  to the Community  for  1989 was 

increased in exchange for an increase of Norway's  1989 ling and tusk quota 

It is therefore proposed to amend the above Regulation accordingly.

COMPETITIVENESS AND EMPLOYMENT  IMPACT STATEMENT 

The object of the proposed  Regulation is to increase, after consultations 

with Norway, the  1989 Norwegian catch quota of ling and tusk in the 

Community  EEZ, taking into account that the fishing possibilities for the 

Community  of "Other species" in Norwegian waters south of 62°N in  1989 were 

increased. 

The proposed Regulation will not involve undertakings in any particular 

obligations. Furthermore, ling and tusk are no species under a TAC and 

quota system in Community waters. 

RAPPORT DE L'IMPACT SUR LA COMPETITIVITE ET L'EMPLOI 

L'objet  du Règlement proposé est d'augmenter  après consultations avec la 

Norvège, le quota de captures  1989 de la Norvège pour le stock de la lingue 

et du brosme dans la ZEE de la Communauté, tenant compte du fait 

que les possibilités de captures de la Communauté en  1989 pour les "Autres 

espèces" dans les eaux norvégiennes au sud de 62°N ont été augmentées. 

Le Règlement proposé n'implique pas d'obligation particulière pour les 

entreprises. En outre, la lingue et le brosme ne sont pas des espèces 

sous un régime de TACs et quotas dans les eaux  communautaires.

Gegenstànd der vorgeschlagenen Verordnung ist es, nach Konsultationen mit 

Norwegen die Faugquote  1989 Norwegens fur Leng und Lumb in der
