 ---pagebreak---              EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
      The consultations which have taken place between the European
Economic Community and Norway , according to the rules set out in the
Framework Agreement on Fisheries negotiated between the two parties ,
have resulted in agreement between the two delegations about fishing
rights for the year 1979 for each party in the waters of the other .
Furthermore consultations between the European Economic Community ,
Norway""arid~ Sweden about regulatory measures for fishing in Skagerrak
and part of Kattegat       have resulted in agreement between the three
delegations about quotas to each party for oert&in fish stocks i occurring
in these areas .
      It is the purpose of the two Regulations proposed hereby to
establish a regime allowing Norwegian vessels to fish in the Community
fishery zone in accordance with the agreements reached during the
said consultations . The arrangements provided for in these Regulation
are based upon the attached Agreed Records of the conclusion of the
consultations . Since the interim regime under which Norwegian vessels
are authorised to fish at present in the Community 's fishery zone
 ( Regulation ( EEC ) no . 3150 /78 ) expires on 28 February 1979 i't i®
necessary that a new regime is adopted before that date if an interruption
of the reciprocal fishing activities between the Community and Norway
 is to be avoided .
       In order to respect this time limit the Commission proposes that
 the proposed regime be established initially by an interim Regulation
on the basis of Article 103 of the Treaty and subsequently replaced
 by a Regulation adopted under Article 43 * The Commission therefore
 submits at the same time proposals for two Regulations .
       The Council iB invited to adopt the Regulation based upon Article
 103 before 28 February and to adopt the second Regulation based upon
 Article 43 as soon as possible after having consulted the European
 Parliament *

 ---pagebreak---       AGREED RECORD OF CONCLUSIONS OF FISHERY CONSULTATIONS BETWEEN NORWAY
      AND THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY - Brussels , 19-20 December 1978
   j.  1.      A Norwegian delegation , headed by Mr. K « Raasok , and a Community
      delegation , headed by Mr. R. Simonnet , met in Brussels on 19 and 20
      December 1978 to consult on mutual fisheries relations for 1979 .
      2.       The meeting in Brussels was a continuation of previous meetings in
      Oslo and Brussels .
      3.       The consultations were based upon the principles laid down in the
       initialled draft agreement on fisheries between the Community and Norway .
       A.        The arrangements for 1979 shall be without prejudice for future
       fishery arrangements between the parties .
 [ X.          Joint stocks
       1.        In order to arrive at an objective basis for the future sharing
       of the joint stocks          the two delegations agreed to establish a joint
       working group with the purpose of developing proposals for defining and
       evaluating the relative attachment of joint stocks to the fishing zones
      of the two parties .
               The working group which shall include scientists and administrators ,
       may request ICES to 'make available any scientific and statistical data
       necessary for its work .   The group shall submit a report on its findings
       not later than 15 june 1979 .
       2.      In the absence of a study as referred to in para 1 , the two delega­
       tions could not agree upon an objective basis for the distribution between
       the parties of the TACs to be set for 1979 for the joint stocks of cod ,
       haddock , saithe , whiting and plaice .
               The delegations therefore , being unable to achieve agreement on a
       management scheme for these stocks for 1979, informed each other of their
       respective intentions as regards the management of these stocks by the
I λ  ί[unilateral declarations attached to this protocol in annexes III and IV .
 ---pagebreak--- 3.       The delegations agreed to recommend to their authorities to adopt the
following arrangements .
      ■ a) Each party shall adopt regulations for fishing in its own zone by
         its own vessels , by vessels of the other party and by vessels of third
        parties as well as for fishing by its own vessels in the other party 's
        zone so as Tto ensure that the catch limits will be respected .-
        b ) Each party may allocate part of its share of the TAC to third
        countries to be fished within the ? one of that party .  In such cases
        the other party should be informed about t&s quotas allocated and
       other relevant regulations „
       c ) As regards North Sea herrinq the two parties will prohibit directed
       fishing in ICES sub-area IV and that part of sub-area Ilia which lies
       West of a line drawn between Lindesnes and WsnSThoim throughout Trie
       whole of 1979 . If this prohibition were to be lifted by either party ,
       the panties will consult on the TAC and the allocation between the
       two parties .
       d ) As regards fishing for mackerel in ICES IV in 1979, the parties
       agreed to consult at a later stage on the regulatory measures ,
                                  to be implemented with a view to securing a
       management arrangement in accordance with the scientific recommen­
       dation that 100 000 tons shall be fished in the area north of 60°N
       and west of 2°E                                  „
           Fishing for mackerel in ICES zone IV SouthnSO® N will not stairt before
        15 - August .
 ---pagebreak---           Exclusive stocks
  1.      With respect to North Sea sprat , the Community delegation considered
  this to be an exclusive Community stock whereas the Norwegian delegation ,
  referring to reported catches of this stock in the Norwegian zone, held
  the view that this is a joint stock .   However , for practical management
  purposes, the parties will regard it as an exclusive Community stock in
  1979 .  Norway will permit fishing for sprat by Norwegian fishermen and
  fishermen of third countries in its own economic zone in 1979 .
  2.      The delegations agreed to recommend to their respective authorities
  to authorise fishing in 1979 by vessels of the other party as set out in
  Annex II .
          Prawn + Greenland halibut
  3.1 .   The Community delegation pointed out that the prawn and Greenland
  halibut stocks in the Canadian and Community part of ICNAF subareas 0+1
   are managed by Community and Canadian authorities under a scheme of joint
   management .  The quotas granted for these stocks to Norway under the pre-
                                                           «
   sent arrangements shall be taken partly in the Canadian zone .
                    These quotas are subject to approval by Canada .  Norwegian
   fishing of these quotas in the Canadian part of this area will be subject
   to licensing by the Canadian authorities .
- 3.2 .   If it becomes clear during 1979 that Greenland coastal fishermen
   or Canada will not fulfill the quota of prawns allocated to them , the
   quota allocated to Norway shall be increased by a proportional share of
   the extra quantity which would then become available . However , if the
   proportional share of the extra quantity should be higher than 1 500 t
   Norway might be allocated supplementary quantities following consultations .

      4       Cod off West and East Greenland
             If the situation of the cod stocks off West and East Greenland improves
     and the Community decides to authorize fishing by ESC fishermen other than
       Greenland fishermen , the two parties will consult with a view to establishing
       a quota for Norwav for these stocks , taking into account Norwegian fiehin«j
       interests in the area.                          -
     5,      Minke Whale
     5.1 .   The Norwegian delegation requested rights to catch minke whale in
     the EEC zone in 1979 .
     5.2 .   As regards the West Greenland stock the EEC delegation proposed
     that the request be discussed between the parties concerned with a view
     to establishing a quota for Norway in conformity with the recommendation
     for a TAC bythe IWC ( International Whaling Commission ).
     5.3 .   As regards the EEC zone off East Greenland , the delegations will take
     note of any   IWC recommendation of a TAC of minke whales of the East Green­
     land , Iceland and Jan Mayen stock .    It was agreed that the parties concerned
     including Iceland should consult as soon as possible on the allocation
     of this TAC .
IV . Licensing
              The delegations agreed that licensing of each others vessels in 1979
      should be limited to the following fisheries :
                      •           m
              A.    EEC fishery in the Norwegian economic zone :
                    All fishing north of 62° N
                    Industrial fishing in the North Sea
              B.    Norwegian fishery in the EEC zone :

              L
 ---pagebreak---               Fishery Regulations
             The delegations agreed to recommend to their authorities to consult
     on fishery regulations in the North Sea with a view to achieving as far
     as possible the harmonization of regulatory measures in the zones of the
     two parties .
          2.   The Norwegian Delegation reserves the right to revert to the question of
       the justification for the quota and the catch area limitation establishad
       by EEC for the blue whiting stock in 1979 in ICES VI a and VII .
VI .           Consultations
               If during 1979 a revision of TAC 's for stocks covered by this protocol
      is recommended by the scientific bodies the parties . shall consult .
              The two parties will consult on the implementation of the arrangements
      of the present agreed record of conclusions .
