      THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
      having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
      having regard to the Act of Accession ( 1 ),
      having regard to the proposal from the Commission

      cerning certain external and internal aspects of the common fisheries po­
      licy ;
      whereas in Regulation ( EEC ) No 194/ 77 ( 2 ) the Council laid down , for the

      vation and management of fishery resources applicable to vessels flying . the

     ted the opening of negotiations with the Community for the conclusion of fra­
     mework agreements on fisheries and these negotiations are still in progress ;
     whereas , therefore , the consultations which should be held pursuant to the
     framework agreements in order to lay down the rules governing fishing , in
     particular in the Community fishing zone , have not yet been started ;
     whereas , consequently , pending these consultations , the application of Regula­
     tion ( EEC ) No 194/ 77 and the period of validity of the licences granted to
     vessels flying the flag of the countries in question was extended in Regulation
     ( EEC ) No 745 / 77 ( 3 ) for a period of two months , subject to any provisions
     which may be adopted by the Council in the light of the outcome of the consul­
     tations to be held following the conclusion of framework agreements ;
     whereas a further extension of this Regulation is necessary, together with
     the appropriate modifications .
