concerning a supplementary quota in the amount of 8000t of capelin off East
Greenland, against compensation as provided for in Article 3(2) of the
Protocol on the conditions relating to fishing. The acceptance of this
offer has been put on the agenda of the Council of 1fe July 1989 as an
A-point•
The Council is requested to approve in this context the necessary amendment
to Regulation (EEC) N° 3950/88 of 11 December 1988, allocating, for 1989,
Community catch quotas in Greenland waters.
