 ---pagebreak---                            EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
The interim fisheries arrangements for Spanish vessels is valid until 24 June
1978 ( Regulation EEC N° 1158 / 78 ). It has not been possible , despite the
reopening of negotiations , to arrive at the conclusion of a framework fisheries
agreement between the Community and Spain .
In the realistic prospect of a positive result of the forthcoming negotiations
it is proposed that the interim arrangement " be extended until 31 July 1978 .
The division of the hake quota is to be on the same prorata basis as in the
previous Regulations .  As for anchovy , fishing normally ceases around 30 June ;
in consequence , the remaining quantity of 1.0D0 tonnes destined as live bait
in the tuna fishery has also been allocated on a prorata basis . .
