                         EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Fishing by Norwegian vessels in the fishery zone of the Community
is presently authorized by Regulation ( EEC ) No . 849 / 81 ( 1 ) laying
down for 1981 certain measures for the conservation and management
of fishery resources applicable to vessels flying the flag of Norway .
After the entry into force of this Regulation the Norwegian authorities   , -
requested that the Community increase the quota of blue whiting in .1981
for Norwegian vessels fishing in the , fishery zone of the Community from
100.000 to 120.000 tonnes .
The Commission considers that it is in the interest of the Community
to accede to this request since a sufficient quantity of the stock in
question is - available and since it is expected that such an additional
allocation will' be taken into account in consultations concerning possible
additional allocations to Community fishermen fishing in Norway waters in 1981
The fishing season for blue whiting in Community waters is of short duration
pnd if Norwegian fishermen concerned are to benefit from this additionnal
allocation it must be authorized immediately .
For this reason the Council is invited to adopt the present Regulation
on the basis of Article 103 of the Treaty .
