By regulation (EEC) N' 3928/90 the Council has allocated among Member
States the shares available for 1991 to Community vessels fishing In
the Norwegian flshfng zone.
Following   a Community    request   the Community    and  Norway  have  held
consultations regarding an increase of 2.000 t of the Community's 1991
catch possibilities of "Other Species"       In the Norwegian fishing zone
south of    62' N. As    a result    Norway  agreed   that  the catch   quota
allocated to the Community for 1991 was increased on the condition that
the   Community   was  prepared   to   compensate   Norway   under  the  1992
FI sherI es Arrangement.
It is therefore proposed to amend the above Regulation accordingly.
