                             EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
         In accordance with the framework agreement on fisheries between
the European Economic Community and Norway , the two parties held consulta­
tions define their reciprocal conditions for fishirg in 1982 . These
resulted in an agreement on the subject of each party 's fishing rights in
1982 in the other 1 s waters ana on the need to fix total allowable catches
( TACs ) for certain mixed stocks in the North Sea and their allocations
between the parties . This agreement , in the form of an exchange of letters ,
was initialled by the two delegations .
         The Commission proposes that the Council , at its next meeting ,
should adopt the draft decision annexed hereto , approving the agreement
negotiated with Norway and should autorize its President to designate
the persons empowered to sign the exchange of letters .
         On the same occasion the Council is also -invited to adopt , after
consultation of Parliament , the Regulation proposed hereby . The purpose
of this Regulation is to implement provisionally the conclusions of these
consultations by amending the quotas laid down in Council Regulation ( EEC )
No . 849/81 for Norwegian vessels in the fishing zones of the Member States
of the Community .
                           !                                              ' •
         It is the purpose of the Regulation proposed hereby to establish
a regime allowing Norwegian vessels to fish in the Community fishery
zone in accordance with the agreement reached during the bilateral consul­
tations . Since the interim 'regime under which Norwegian vessels are
 authorized to fish at present in the Community 's fishery zone ( Regulation
 ( EEC ) No .    81/82 ) expires on 31 March 1982 it is necessary that a new
regime is adopted before that date if an interruption of the reciprocal
 fishing activities between the Community and Norway is to be avoided .

     VI and VII .
                                                                 /

 possibility of establishing a quota for Norway for these stocks ,.
 4.             The Norwegian, delegation stressed, that the rate and pattern of
 exploitation , for certain demersal joint stocks in the North. Sea were
 unsatisfactory and emphasized the need for further                reductions in
 fishing mortality , increased mesh sizes and. improved control of the
 by-catch regulations in the industrial fisheries „
