In the framework of the Agreement on fisheries between the European
Economic Community, on the one hand, and the Government of Denmark and the
local Government of Greenland, on the other, the Parties have laid down in
a Protocol on the conditions relating to fishing, certain catch quantities
for the Community for each year, until 31 December 1989, in Greenland
waters. By regulation (EEC) N* 3950/88 the Council has allocated among
Member States the shares available to the Community in 1989.
The Greenland Home Rule Authorities have for 1989 offered the Community an
additional 4 000 t of the western cod stock of Greenland. During the
Council meeting on 23 February 1989 the Commission was authorised to accept
this offer against compensation as provided for in Article 3(2) of the
Protocol on the conditions relating to fishing.
The supplementary quota available to the Community has been allocated among
the Member States on the basis of the principles which were applied to the
allocation of quotas in 1983.
