possibilities of "Industrial Species"    in the Norwegian fishing zone
             s
south of 62    N. As a result Norway agreed that the catch quota
allocated to the Community for 1991 was increased on the condition that
the  Community  was  prepared   to  compensate  Norway  under   the 1992
Fisheries Arrangement.
Zt is therefore proposed to amend the above Regulation accordingly.
