 ---pagebreak---                        EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
      At its session of 6 and 7 December 1977 the Council decided to
extend all arrangements applicable to fishing by the vessels of non
member countries in the Community fishery zone up to 31 January 1978
pending a decision by the Council of 16 January 1978 upon   the Com­
mission 's proposals for an internal fisheries policy .
      As the Council did not arrive at such a decision on 16 January
it is now necessary to extend once more these interim arrangements
in order to avoid an interruption of reciprocal fishing .
      The regulation which is the subject of the present proposal is
intended to extend the interim regime applicable to Swedish
vessels for a further one-month period .
