 ---pagebreak---                      Explanatory Memorandum
          The Commission has made a careful assessment of the
data at its disposal since the last meeting of the Council of
19 July 1977, concerning conservation measures to be implemented
on the North Sea herring stock .    The Commission can however
only repeate the arguments already developed in its memorandum
to the Council of 24.6.1977 ( doc . COM ( 77 ) 306 ), and in consequence ,
proposes to continue the ban on herring fishing in the North Sea
          In any case , while awaiting the results of the debate
of 24 / 25 October in the Council on the common fisheries policy ,
the Commission proposes , for the present , to extend the ban on
herring fishing in the North Sea until 31 October 1977 .
