Official Journal L 346 , 31/12/1993 P. 0031 





AGREEMENT in the form of an exchange of letters between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Sweden concerning fisheriesOporto, 2 May 1992.  Sirs,  The signature of the Agreement on the European Economic Area has given the Community and Sweden the opportunity to examine appropriate means to consolidate their cooperation in the fisheries sector.  Referring to the exchange of letters of 14 July 1986 in connection with the signature of the additional Protocol to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Sweden consequent on the accession of the Kingdom of Spain and  the Portuguese Republic to the Community, I confirm that Sweden will continue to provide to vessels flying the flag of Member States of the Community the opportunity to fish certain quantities of cod and herring in the Swedish fishery zone in the Baltic  Sea, supplementary to those agreed annually in the framework of the Fisheries Agreement between Sweden and the Community; these supplementary quantities shall be established as follows:  - Baltic cod:  2 500 tonnes; should the TAC for cod in the Swedish fishery zone in the Baltic Sea exceed 50 000 tonnes, an increased quota above 2 500 tonnes could be agreed, it being understood that such an increase should not exceed 10 % of the amount by which the  TAC exceeds 50 000 tonnes.  If such an increase is decided upon, compensation should be given in the form of an increased zero tariff quota for herring and/or cod originating in Sweden and exported to the Community.  If the TAC for cod in the Swedish fishery zone is set at a level below 40 000 tonnes, the quota of 2 500 tonnes should be reduced by the same percentage.  - Baltic herring:  1 500 tonnes.  Fishing by Community vessels for the quotas referred to above shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as those applied to Community fishing in that area for quotas agreed under the Fisheries Agreement between Sweden and the Community.  I should be grateful if you would confirm the Agreement of the European Economic Community to the undertaking set out above.  Var vaenliga mottag foersaekran om min utmaerkta hoegaktning.
