                  Delegations from Canada and the EEC headed by Dr.

December 14 , 1977 , discussed the management of certain fish stocks
in Davis Strait and Baffin Bay occurring both within the Canadian
fishery zone and the fishery zone of the Community .

                  The delegations agreed that the stocks under consi­
deration should be managed jointly . The delegations were of the view
that arrangements for joint management should be established
initially for the year 1978 , and that the possibility of a longer
term arrangement should b4 examined later in the light of the expe­
rience obtained during the first year .
                  The delegations agreed to recommend to their
authorities that the arrangements set out below be implemented in 1978
1 . 1978 arrangements-principles
1.                 The 1978 arrangements will , apply to the stocks of
Greenland halibut , roundnose grenadier and ^hrimps in ICNAF subarea 1
and ICNAF statistical area 0 and all waters to the North of
statistical area 0 .
 2.                The total allowable catches ( TAC) for the stocks
 referred to in paragraph 1 and the allocations thereof to the two
parties shall be determined by agreement between the two parties .
When deciding the TAC and the allocations to the two parties the
parties may also set agreed limits for the amounts of tl>e TAC and
 allocations which may be fished in each zot^e .                   ,
 3.                The two parties will consult on the question of allo­
 cations to third parties and all such allocations shall be determined
 by agreement between the two parties . When determining allocations to
 a third party the parties may set agreed limits for the amounts which
 may be fished in the zone of each party . The parties , will not give
 allocations to a third party in any part of the area referred to in
 paragraph 1 until agreement has been reached with the other party .

 4.                 Following agreement on the ^allocations to third
 parties the two parties will consult and agree on the licences to be
 issued by each party to vessels of third parties for the purpose of
 taking the allocations and on the essential terms of these licences
 as well as any amendments to these terms .      These terms shall     Y*.

of the country concerned shall cease when that country 's allocation
has been taken in the area referred to in paragraph 1 .
                 - A provision requiring reporting by the vessels
licenced on their catches in the entire area referred to in paragraph
1 according to details which will be agreed between the two parties .
5.               Each party will licence vessels of the other party
to fish within its zone . The licence will provide that the fishery
by vessels of the other party will cease when the total allocation
has been taken in the area referred to in paragraph 1 . The parties
will waive licence fees for each others vessels in the area referred
to in paragraph 1 .                                            •
6.               The two parties will make appropriate administrative
arrangements to ensure the cooperation required for the implementation
of the scheme of joint management described above , including
reporting of catches from third party vessels and each others vessels .
