 ---pagebreak---                 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
The present proposal is intended to implement the outcome of consultations
held in November 1978 "between the Community and Canada concerning the
management in 1979 of certain fish stocks occurring in the waters of "both
parties between Greenland and Canada .
In accordance with the agreement reached at these consultations , Canadian
vessels will be permitted to fish certain quantities of Greenland Halibut ,
Roundnose Grenadier , and Deepwater Prawn in Community waters in 1979 *
The proposed regulation lays down these quantities , the number of Canadian
vessels permitted to operate in Community waters , and other related obligations
such as reporting requirements .
As the Canadian authorities have requested licences to fish within Community
waters under these arrangements earlier than was originally foreseen , it
will be necessary for the Community to adopt this regulation under Article 103
of the Treaty pending its later adoption under Article 43-
