             Pursuant to the Framework Agreement on Fisheries between the
 European Economic Community and Sweden signed on 21 March 1977 the two
parties have consulted about their fisheries relations in 1980 . These
consultations have resulted in agreement between the two delegations about
fishing rights for the year 1980 for each party in the waters of the other
and about the need to introduce iTAC 's for certain joint stocks occurring
in Kattegat and their allocations between the parties .
             Furthermore , consultations about regulatory measures for fishing
in Skagerrak and part of Kattegat have taken place between the Community ,
Norway and Sweden and have resulted in agreement about the need to establish -
TACs for certain fish stocks occurring in these waters and about the quanti-

             The proposed Regulation attached is intended to establish a
regime authorizing the Swedish vessels to fish in the Community zone in confor
mity with the agreements reached in the course of the above-mentioned consul­
tations . The arrangements provided for in this          Regulation are based upon
the results of these consultations . Since the interim regime under which
Swedish vessels are authorized to fish at present in the Community 's fishery
zone ( Regulation ( EEC ) no .        ) expires, on 30 April 1980 it is necessary
that a new regime be adopted before that date if an interruption of the
reciprocal fishing activities between the Community and Sweden is to be
avoided .                                                           '
             The Council is invited to adopt the Regulation proposed hereby
before 30 April after having consulted the European Parliament .
