   The Commission , in its proposal for a Regulation laying down for 1980
   certain measures for the conservation and management of fishery resources
   applicable to vessels flying the flag of Sweden ( Doc . COM ( 80 ) 83 final
   of 28 February 1980 )> proposed that a regime be established authorizing
   Swedish vessels to fish in Community waters which could cover the whole
   of 1980 .                             -
. The Council , acting unanimously , adopted a Regulation ( 1 ) on      May 1980
   which differed from that proposed by the Commission in that it established
   an interim regime applicable only until 30 June 1980 .
   A new Regulation must therefore be adopted establishing a regime for the
 - remainder of 1980 , authorizing Swedish vessels to fish in Community waters
   in accordance with the agreements negotiated with tSweden .
   The draft Regulation annexed hereto is basically identical to the draft
   Regulation in the proposal referred to above ( COM ( 80 ) 83 final of 28
   February 1980 ), which the Council amended unanimously by adopting Regulation
   ( EEC ) n°     / 80 ( 1 ).                      ,
   The Commission therefore recommends that before 30 June 1980 , when the ,
   current regime expires , and after consulting the European Parliament , the
   CouncU adopt the draft Regulation annexed hereto .
