   THE JOINT COMMITTEE,
   Having regard to the Agreement between the European Community, of the one part, and the Government of Denmark and the Home Government of the Faeroe Islands, of the other part (1) hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement’ and in particular Article 34(1) thereof,
   Whereas:
   
               (1)
            
            
               The Annex to Protocol 1 to the Agreement specifies the customs duties and other conditions to be applied on import into the Community of certain fish and fishery products originating in and coming from the Faeroes.
            
         
               (2)
            
            
               Under this Annex, the Community has granted concessions for shrimps, prawns and Norway lobsters, prepared or preserved, from the Faeroe Islands, subject to an annual tariff quota of 3 000 tonnes.
            
         
               (3)

               (4)
            
            
               It is reasonable to authorise such an increase over a period of time to be determined by the degree to which the quota is utilised.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               Under the Annex, the Community has not granted any concession for frozen haddock originating in and coming from the Faeroes.
            
         
               (6)
            
            
               The authorities of the Faeroe Islands have requested that frozen haddock be added to the list of fishery products in Table I of the Annex to Protocol 1 that may be imported free of duty into the Community.
            
         
               (7)
