Brussels, 12 December  1989 

Proposal  for a 

COUNCIL  REGULATION  (EEC) 

laying down  for 1990 certain measures  for the conservation  and man 

agement  of  fishery  resources applicable  to vessels  flying the 

flag of Norway 

Proposal  for a 

COUNCIL  REGULATION  (EEC) 

allocating, for 1990, certain  catch quotas between Member  States for 

vessels  fishing  in the Norwegian  exclusive  economic  zone 

and the fishing  zone around  Jan Mayen 

(Presented  by the  Commission) 

EXPLANATORY  E3BK0I&NDG14 

In accordance with the basic Fisheries Agreement, consultations have been 

held between the Community and Norway in Oslo and Brussels and have not yet 

resulted  in agreement on reciprocal Fisheries arrangements for  1990, 

covering the fishing rights of each Party in the zone of the other, the 

fixing of total allowable catches for common stocks in the North Sea and 

the allocation of these catches between the Parties. 

The purpose of this proposal, which should be completed once the 

consultations result in an agreement, is therefore to authorize Norwegian 

vessels to fish, as from  1 January  1990, the quotas allocated to them in 

Community waters for  1990, in accordance with the abovementionned 

reciprocal arrangements. The quotas allocated to Norway in Greenland waters 

will be dealt with in a separate Commission proposal concerning the 

allocation of Community quotas in Greenland waters for 1990.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

Consultations between the Community and Norway have been held in Oslo and 

in Brussels and have not yet resulted in an agreement on mutual fisheries 

arrangements for  1990.  These arrangements should include certain catch 

quotas for Community vessels in the Norwegian fishing zone. 

The aim of the present proposal for a regulation that should be completed 

once the consultations result in an agreement is to allocate among the 

Member States the quotas available for  1990 to Community vessels fishing in 

the Norwegian zone under the abovementioned arrangements. 

The quotas available to the Community have been allocated among the Member 

States on the basis of the principles which were applied to the allocation 

of quotas in 1983.
