I overensstemmelse med artikel 7 i fiskeriaftalen mellea Fællesskabet og
  Norge,                      ~                  1 har de- to parter fart
konsultationer og foranstaltninger til bevarelse af "bestande, der fore–
kommer i de to parters fiskeri jurisdiktionsområder.
Disse konsultationer har resulteret i, at delegationerne er blevet enige
om at henstille til deres myndigheder, at der indføres fangstbegrænsninger
for visse fælles bestande i Kattegat . Disse henstillinger er udfarligt
refereret i det "godkendte referat " af 20 .december 1978 som er vedlagt .
Formålet med dette forslag er at iværksætte de kvotaforanstaltninger, som
de to derationer har anbefalet .

staltninger, som dets delegation har anbefale!^xkke forsinkes af drøftelser
eta fordelingen af disse kvoter mellea medlemsstaterne. Det er derfor kun de
kvoter, der under konsultationerne blev opnået enighed om for Fællesskabet
som helhed, der er fastsat i forordningen, som der herved fremsættes for­
slag til . Det er Kommissionens hensigt senere at fremsætte forslag til en
forordning om fordelingen af disse kvoter mellem medlemsstaterne.
 fællesskabets gennemførelse af bevaringsforanstaltningerne, andre end
 kvoterne, son blev foreslået af de to delegationer, vil blive behandlet
 i et separat forslag af Kommissionen .

      Declaration by the Norwegian, delegation, concerning a catch arrangement
    for some joint Btocks in the North Sea in 1979-
. The Norwegian delegation While emphasizing that the future sharing
    between Norway and the Community of the joint stocks must *
    be based upon the zonal attachment of these stocks,' has undertaken to
    implement ajsractical catch arrangement for 1979 concerning cod, haddock,
    saithe , whiting and plaice in the North "Sea. The catch arrangement set
    out pelow is to be regarded as an ad hoc arrangement and reflects only
    catch requirements for 1979 ».

    The present catch arrangement is acceptable to Norway only on the express
ounderstanding that it is not held to reflect or prejudice the shares of
   the joint stocks to be allocated to Norway on the basis of the zonal .
   attachment of these stocks and therefore implies a transfer to the EEC
 • of parts of Norway* shares of the joint stocks referred to.
