 The last ex-tension of the autonomous rules governing fishing applicable to
 vessels flying the flag of Spain, made under Council Regulation (EEC )
 n° 1376/78 of 21 June 3-978 , comes to an end on 31 July 1978.
 In spite of the "belief held by "both partners that it is necessary to establish
their fishery relations upon a more solid and durable "basis , it has not yet
"been possible owing to certain technical problems outstanding to terminate the
negotiations with a view to concluding a framework fisheries agreement between
the Community and Spain.
It is therefore necessary to extend yet again the interim rules now in force .
In view of the approaching holiday period , a prolongation of two months , that
is until the end of September , Would be appropriate .
The allocation of quotas is made on the same basis as that used to establish v
the rules which apply up to 31 July.
