      The purpose of t h i s proposed regulation is to allocate between
Member States the quotas availabl e in 1984 for Community fishing vessels

of the 1983 quotas.

Consultations between the Community and the Faroe Islands in accordance with
the Framework Agreement on Fisheries were held in Brussels on 12 and 13 December
1983.  These consultations resulted in an agreement on reciprocal fishery
arrangements for 1984 concerning each Party's fishing rights in the other's zone.
The level of Community catches compared to allocated quotas in the Faroese zone
has been at a low level in recent years due notably to the complicated Faroese
fishery legislation with respect to third country fishing vessels.   However,
significant improvements have been obtained for 1984 in three respects.
         (i ) access to areas from which Community vessels have
              previously been excluded, .
        (ii)  greater flexibility in the use of different types of
              fishing gear,
       (iii)  increase in the number of licences allocated to the Community.
 These improvements should facilitate a marked increase in the level of Community
 catches in 1984.
 The level of fishing possibilities under the 1984 reciprocal arrangements
 for each Party in the other's zone, in view of the improvements made«
 has been maintained at the same level as in 1983, i.e. approximately 20 000
 tonnes equivalent cod.
 The purpose of the proposed regulation is thus to authorise Faroese vessels
 to fish from 1 January 1984 with the quotas allocated to them for 1984 in
 Community waters in accordance with the above-mentioned reciprocal fishery
 arrangements.   To avoid an interruption in mutual fishery relations between the
 Community and the Faroe Islands, this proposed regulation must be adopted, at
 the latest, by the end of this year.                         ■
