 ---pagebreak---                           EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
        Consultations have taken place between the Community and Iceland
at the request of the icelandic 's authorities , as a result of the
widening of the Danish fishing zone off the East coas . of Greenland
to the North of 67° North , which took effect 1 june 1980 .
During these consultations , the Community delegation agreed to recommend
to its authorities that the icelandic fishermen should be authorized to
carry on their traditional fishing of capelin in the abovementioned waters
it being understood that these vessels complied with the usual system
of licensing and provision of information .
       The purpose of the proposed Regulation is to establish a system
whereby at most 60 icelandic vessels are authorized to catch a maximum
of 100.000 tonnes of capelin , in the abovementioned waters , during the
period from 1 August until 31 December 1980 .
       Since the fishing of capelin is essentially seasonal , and in
order to avoid the stopping of this traditional fishing , by the lack
of a Council Regulation , the Commission proposes to adopt this system
by a regulation laying down interims measures based on Article 103 of
the Treaty .                       '      .

fishing zone off the east coast of Greenland to the North of 67° North ,
      fishing activities in those waters shall be subject to the relevant
Community rules ;

 those waters should be authorized during an interim period in order to ,
 allow the negotiations on a framework agreement on fishing to be c6ncluded

them subject to a system of licensing and to fix detailed rules relating
