         amending Regulation ( EEC ) No . 1848 /78 laying down certain
               measures for the conservation and management of

THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to "the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
and in particular Article 103 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
 Whereas by Regulation ( EEC ) No , 1848 /78 of 25 July 1978 ( 1 ), as amended by
 Regulation ( EEC ) No . 2084 /78 (2 ), the Council laid down certain measures
 for the conservation and management of fishery resources applicable to vessels
 registered in the Faeroe Islands ;
Where as , according to the management arrangements agreed between the Community
and Canada as regards certain joint stocks located in Davies Strait and Baffins
Bay, fishing for Greenland Halibut by either party should be permitted throughout
the joint management zone ;
Whereas the recent allocation by the Canadian authorities of a quota of -
Greenland Halibut to the Faeroe Islands may therefore lead to the fishing of a
part of this quota in waters falling under the fisheries jurisdiction of the
Community:                                         ,
Whereas due account should be taken of this in the said Regulation (EEC ) Kb .1848/78; i
                                                                                        f
Whereas , since the consultations referred to in paragraph 2 of Article 3 of Regulation
(EEC ) No , 1848/78 have not yet taken place , the entry into force of paragraph 1
of the said Article should be postponed for one month ;
 Whereas these measures must be taken without delay , and it , is therefore necessary
 to adopt them on an Interim basis, under Article 103 of the Treaty, subject to
 their being included at a later date in the common agricultural policy .
