        The consultations which have taken place between the European
Economic Community and Norway , according to the rules set out in the
 Framework Agreement on Fisheries negotiated between the two parties ,
have resulted in agreement between the two delegations about fishing
rights for the year 1980 for each party in the waters of the other .
Furthermore consultations between the European Economic Community ,
Norway and Sweden about regulatory measures for fishing in Skagerrak.
and part of Kattegat have, resulted in agreement between the three
delegations about quotas to each party for certain fish stocks
occurring in these areas .
        It is the purpose of the Regulation proposed hereby to establish
a regime allowing "Norwegian vessels to fish in the Community fishery
zone in accordance with the agreements reached during the said consulta'
tions . The arrangements provided for in this Regulation are based upon
the attached Agreed Records of the conclusion of the consultations .
Since the interim regime under which Norwegian vessels are authorised
to fish at present in the Community 's fishery zone ( Regulation ( EEC )
no . 3033 / 79  ) expires on 31 March 1980 it is necessary that a new
regime is adopted before that date if an interruption of the reciprocal
fishing activities between the    Community and Norway is to be avoided .
        The Council is invited to adopt the Regulation proposed hereby
as soon as possible after having consulted the European Parliament .

                  DECLARATION BY THE COMMUNITY. DELEGATION
    In the EEC 's view the Norwegian quota for mackerel in the North
Sea for 1980 o-f 44.800 tonnes implies a transfer of 17.300 tonnes
from the EEC to Norway taking into account the zonal attachment sfiare .
    It is the opinion of the EEC that the whole of the Norwegian share
of North Sea mackerel , except the 5.000 t to be fished by passive gear ,
should be fished in the area North of 60°N and West of 2°E .
   The EEC also underlines that the ACFM proposal for a closure of the
mackerel fishery in area Via north of 56°N.is intended to protect that
part of the North Sea stock which is thought to overwinter in that area
 ---pagebreak---                              ANNEX V
             DECLARATION BY THE NORWEGIAN DELEGATION
       The Norwegian delegation holds the view that 75 % of the mackerel ,
 in ICES IV and III a isattached to the Norwegian zone .
           W
   é
       It also refers to the fact that no area limitation has been
recommended by the ACFM for 1980 , and can consequently not be bound by
the area restriction referred to in paragraph 2 of Annex IV . *
       The Norwegian Delegation expressed its interest in obtaining catch
statistics from the mackerel fishing in area VI and-VII and stated its
intention to revert to this question at a later stage .
