 Certain cod quotas have been allocated to the Community In the Canadian
 fishery zone, pursuant to the Agreement on Fisheries between the Commu­
 nity and the Government of Canada signed on          December 1981 , and 1n
 the Regulatory Area defined in the NAFO Convention, pursuand to a pro­
posal adopted by the NAFO Fisheries Commission on 11 September 1981 .
                                           1        -           i  :
 Jn determining the allocation of those quotas between Community fishermen
 It 1s necessary to take into account the fact that the exploitation of
these quotas Is economically inter-relatedo
                                                                 1
 Xt Is ,therefore , proposed that the following allocations b© otade between
Member States of the cod quotas in the Canadian fishing sone ( sectors
 2GH and 2J3KL) and in the NAFO Regulatory Area ( sector 3 M >«,

  The allocation of cod quotas between Member States is based ,, on the one
  hand, on the considerations set out in relation to the distribution of
  internal ressources in the Council declaration of 30 May 1980 and , on
  the other hand, on the Commission 's appreciation of the declarations with
  which the Council accompagnied the adoption of the negotiating directives
  for the negotiation of the agreement with Canada .
It is In the interest of the Community fishermen concerned thaS the fishery
commence early in January 1982 in accordance with the seasonal pattern ©f
the fishery and, therefore ,* the Commission invites the CeuneH to adopt the
attached Regulation on a tempo ray basis , subject to 4t »           adoption 1n

Whereas it is the responsibility of the Community to allocate the catch
quotas for cod in the Canadian fishery zone among its own fishermen;
Whereas in order to ensure an equitable allocation of available fishing
possibilities these quotas should be allocated between the Member States
of the Community;
Whereas this allocation should be based, on the one hand , on the conslde-
rations set out 1n the Council declaration on Fisheries of 30 May 1980

the adoption of the negotiating directives for the negotiation of the agree­
ment with Canada ;
Whereas information about actual catches should be made available 1n order
to ensure that the allocations are respected;
Whereas the said agreement was not signed until     December 1981 and It 1s
