According to Article 8 of the Agreement on fisheries between the European
Economic Community on the one hand , and the Government of Denmark and the
local Government of Greenland , on the other , the authorities responsible
for Greenland shall offer a special priority for the Community on access to
supplementary catch possibilities , which exceed the catch capacities of the
Greenland fleet and the annual quotas agreed for the Community .
Under this provision the Greenland Home Rule Authorities have offered to
the Community for 1988 the following supplementary quotas :
     - 2 500 t of redfish ( NAFO 1 )
     - 5 000 t of redfish ( ICES XIV )
          500 t of Greenland halibut ( NAFO 1 )
     - 2 000 t of Greenland halibut ( ICES XIV )
In order to accept this offer the Community 's compensation to Greenland for
1988 has to be adjusted in proportion , calculated on the basis of cod
equivalents , to these supplementary quotas allocated to the Community .
The Commission has received a formal request from certain Member States to
accept this offer .
Although the present catch possibilities in Greenland waters for the stocks
concerned are far from being fully utilised by those Member States which
benefit from the agreement it has not been possible to meet the requests
from all Member States interested in these fisheries by way of transfers .
In view of this it is being proposed that the Community accepts the
Greenland offer concerning supplementary quotas of redfish and Greenland
ha l ibut .

Whereas by its resolution of 3 November 1976 on certain external aspects of
the creation of a 200-mile fisheries zone in the Community with effect from
1 January 1977 , the Council agreed that fishing rights for Community
fishermen in the waters of third countries must be obtained and preserved
by appropriate Community Agreements ;
Whereas the said Agreement and the Protocol on the conditions relating to
fishing between the European Economic Community , on the one hand , and the
Government of Denmark and the local Government of Greenland on the other
( 4 ), establish the fishing quotas allocated to the Community in Greenland
waters ;
Whereas according to Article 8 of the said Agreement a special priority for
the Community on access to supplementary catch possibilities , which exceed
the catch capacities of the Greenland fleet and the annual quotas agreed
for the Community under the Protocols referred to in Article 2 paragraph 1 ,
shall be offered by the authorities responsible for Greenland in the light
of the special interests of the Community in the exploitation of the stocks
concerned and bearing in mind its contribution to their conservation and
its participation in the development of Greenland ;
