 ---pagebreak---                   EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM
 The proposed Regulation is intended to increase at the request
 of the Faroese authorities the part of the Norway pout quota
 allocated to the Faroe Islands which can be taken within the
 area covered by ICES Subdivision Via north of 56°30' N from
 6.000 to 11.000 tons , the overall quota remaining unchanged
 at 22.500 tons .
 This adjustment will in no way prejudice the conservation
'of marine resources in the Community fisheries zone .
 The Commission believes that the Community should give a positive
 reply to the Faroese request , taking account of the provisions
 of the fisheries agreement signed by the Community and the
 Faroe Islands according to which the Community shall facilitate
 the full use of quotas allocated to Faroese vessels .

providing for a technical adjustment to Regulation (EEC ) No 1178/79
laying down for 1979 certain interim measures for the conservation
ancL management of fishery resources applicable to vessels registered

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
                                                                 1 »
Whereas under Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 1178/ 79 / as amended by Regulation ( EEC
the Community has allocated a quota for Norway pout to vessels registered
in the Faroe Islands , of which not more than 6 000 tonnes may be fished
in ICES Division Via north of 56°30' N;
Whereas the Faroese authorities have requested that this quantity
                 should be increased ;            .
Whereas,. pursuant to the provisions of. the Fisheries Agreement signed
between the Community and the Faroe Islands/ the Community should enable the
quotas allocated to Faroese vessels to be fully exploited ;
Whereas increasing the proportion of the quota allocated to the Faroe Islands
                      1
which may be fished in Division Via is not likely to endanger the conservation
of fishing resources in the Community fishing zone ;
Whereas compliance with this raroese request
                                                recessi'sates an amendment to Annex I to
Regulation (EEC ) Fo 1178/79 ;

Whereas these measures should be taken without delay, and whereas it is therefore
necessary to adopt them on an interim "basis pursuant to Article 103 of
the Treaty, subject to their being included at a Later date in the common
agricultural policy ,
