Following the accession of the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese
Republic to the Community it became necessary to adjust the free-trade
agreement of 1972 between the Community and Sweden . In connection
with these negotiations the parties concluded an additional agreement
in the form of an exchange of letters concerning agriculture and
fisheries , which was paraphed on 22 February 1986 . Under the terms of
this agreement Sweden has offered to the Community certain catch
quotas of cod and herring in the Swedish fishery zone in the Baltic
Sea . These catch quotas are supplementary to those mutual fishing
rights which are agreed annually between the parties under the
fisheries agreement between the Community and Sweden .
Sweden , by notification dated February 4 , 1988 , has informed the
Community about the supplementary catch quotas for 1988 .
The purpose of the present regulation is to divide between Member
States these supplementary catch quotas in the Swedish fishery zone in
the Baltic Sea for 1988 .
