The consultations which have taken place between the European Economic
Community and Norway , according to the rules set out in the fisheries
agreement negotiated between the two parties , have resulted in agreement
between the two delegations about the fishing rights for the year 1979
for each party in the waters of the other .
The proposed regulation is intended to divide the negotiated Community
quotas in Norwegian waters between the interested Member States , and to
ensure adequate control of Community fishing by introducing an obligation
on Community vessels to report their catches in Norwegian waters to the
Commission on 8 /.monthly basis. .
