 ---pagebreak---                        EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
  In order to allow continued reciprocal fishing by the Community
  and the Faroe Islands pending the conclusion of consultations
  to finalise an arrangement for the year 1979 the Council adopted
  on 21 December 1978 Regulation ( EEC ) No . 3149 / 78 laying down
  certain interim measures for the conservation and management
  of fishery resources applicable to vessels registered in the
  Faroe Islands ( 1 ) for the period from 1 January to 28 February 1979 .
  The consultations between the Community and the Faroe Islands
  have not been completed in time to permit the adoption before
  28 February 1979 of definitive arrangements for 1979 based upon
  the conclusions of the said consultations . It is therefore appropriate
  to prolong the interim rules authorising Faroese vessels to fish in
  the Community zone until 31 March 1979 .
  The quotas laid down in the present proposal for a Regulation are
  based on a quantity equal to one quarter of the annual quotas for
  1979 offered by the Community to the Faroe Islands during the
  above-mentioned consultations / taking account however of seasonal
  variations in fishing for certain species .
