                            EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
In accordance with the basic Fisheries Agreement, consultations have
been held between the Community and Norway            in            Brussels and
have not yet resulted in agreement on reciprocal Fisheries arrangements
for 1993, covering the fishing rights of each Party in the zone of the
other, the fixing of total allowable catches for common stocks in the
North Sea and the allocation of these catches between the Parties.
The  purpose  of   this   proposal, which     should     be completed   once  the
consultations   result     In   an   agreement,   is   therefore    to  authorize
Norwegian vessels to fish, as from 1 January 1993, the quotas allocated
to  them   in  Community      waters    for  1993,    in   accordance   with  the
abovementioned reciprocal arrangements.        The quotas allocated to Norway
and  Greenland   waters   will    be   dealt with    In a    separate  Commission
proposal  concerning    the allocation of Community quotas           in Greenland
waters for 1993.

                           EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Consultations between the Community and Norway have been held in
        Brussels and have not yet resulted       in an agreement on mutual
fisheries   arrangements   for   1993. These arrangements    should  include
certain catch quotas for Community vessels in the Norwegian          fishing
zone.
The aim   of   the present   proposal    for  a regulation  that  should  be
completed once the consultations result in an agreement is to allocate
among the Member    States the quotas available for 1993 to Community
vessels   fishing   In   the   Norwegian    zone under  the   abovementloned
arrangements.
The quotas available to the Community have been allocated among the
Member States on the basis of the principles which were applied to the
allocation of quotas in 1983,
