 ---pagebreak---  ---pagebreak---                            EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

Article 125 of the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden provides that for
three years from the date of its accession Sweden will benefit from a Community
financial contribution to the financing Of the release of smolt in the Baltic

This Community contribution, which must be the subject of a decision by the Council,
acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, must be assessed
in the light of the balances existing immediately before accession.

The contribution corresponds to that previously paid by the Community to Sweden
under the bilateral agreement on certain measures for the purpose of promoting the
reproduction of salmon in the Baltic Sea.

Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2210/80 of 27 June 1980 on the agreement
between the European Economic Community and the Government of Sweden on
certain measures for the purpose of promoting the reproduction of salmon in the
Baltic2 provides that the amount of the contribution must be determined so as to cover
the actual costs to the Swedish authorities of breeding, tagging and releasing the
quantity of smolt necessary to produce a quantity of salmon equal to the non-
reciprocal quota allocated to the Community in the Swedish fishery zone for the year
during which the contribution is to be granted.

Since the total catch from stock permitted in 1995 has been reduced, the amount of
the financial contribution has been calculated by applying the reduction coefficient
proportionally to the data existing immediately before accession.

       finansiella bidrag för 1995 till de svenska myndigheternas utgifter för
                               frisläppande av laxyngel

EUROPEISKA UNIONENS RÅD HAR ANTAGIT DETTA BELUT

med beaktande av Fördraget om upprättandet av Europeiska gemenskapen,

med beaktande av Anslutningsakten för Österrike, Finland och Sverige, särskilt artikel
125 i denna, och

med beaktande av följande:

I artikel 125 i Anslutningsakten föreskrivs att rådet med kvalificerad majoritet på förslag
av kommissionen årligen fastställer storleken på gemenskapens finansiella bidrag till d&
behöriga svenska myndigheterna för frisläppande av laxyngel.

Detta finansiella bidrag skall värderas mot bakgrund av den balans som fanns direkt före
Sveriges anslutning.

I artikel 3 i rådets förordning (EEG) nr 2210/80 av den 27 juni 1980 om ingående av ett
avtal mellan Europeiska ekonomiska gemenskapen och Sveriges regering avseende vissa
åtgärder avsedda att främja laxbeståndet i Östersjön1 föreskrivs att gemenskapens bidrag
är lika stort som de faktiska kostnaderna som de svenska myndigheterna har för
uppfödning, märkning och frisläppande i vatten av den nödvändiga kvantitet yngel för
produktion av den kvantitet lax som motsvarar den icke-ömsesidiga kvot som tilldelats
gemenskapen i den svenska fiskezonen under det år dä det finansiella stödel skall
beviljas.

Kommissionen har mottagit Sveriges ansökan om finansiellt bidrag från gemenskapen för
1995, som motsvarar ansökan för 1994.

        EGTnr L 226, 29.4.1980, s. 7.

 ---pagebreak--- Den internationella Östersjökommissionen         för fiske har föreslagit en TAC för
laxbestånden i Östersjön och den del som skall tilldelas gemenskapen.

Eftersom den TAC som fastställdes för 1995 har minskats, har den svenska ansökan
undersökts igen.

Storleken på gemenskapens finansiella bidrag har beräknats genom att proportionellt
tillämpa den minskningen på den icke-ömsesidiga kvot som Sverige skulle ha tilldelat
gemenskapen om det bilaterala avtalet hade tillämpats.

HÄRIGENOM FÖRESKRIVS FÖLJANDE.

                                          Artikel 1

Gemenskapens finansiella bidrag för 1995 för täckning av utgifterna för att främja
reproduktionen av lax i Östersjön begränsas till 666 092 ecu.

                                          Artikel 2

Detta beslut är riktat till Sveriges regering.

                         This Commission proposal fixes the amount of the 1995 Community financial
                         contribution to the release of smolt by the competent Swedish authorities as
                         provided for in Article 125 of the Act of Accession.

                         7-1.   Method of calculating cost of operation

                         The amount of the Community financial contribution to the release of smolt
                         carried out by the Swedish authorities has been calculated on the basis of the
                         balances existing immediately before accession. Council Regulation (EEC)

                         Community and the Government of Sweden on certain measures for the purpose

                                                                V

       necessary to produce a quantity of salmon equal to the. non-reciprocal quota.,'„..
       allocated to the Community in the Swedish fishery zone for the year during which
       the contribution is to be granted.

       Sweden allocated the Community a salmon quota of 220 tonnes for 1994.

       In 1995 the overall ACR for Baltic salmon was reduced by 16.666% and the
       quotas of each of the partners were reduced by the same proportion.

       To comply with existing balances it must be assumed that Sweden will allocate
       the same quantities reduced by the proportion by which the Swedish quota is
       reduced for 1995, i.e.:

       220 T - 220 x 16.666 - 183.33 T
               100

       The Swedes have indicated to the Commission that the actual cost of 1 smolt is
       17 Swedish krona and that 1 tonne of salmon is the equivalent of 2 000 smolt.

       The amount of the financial contribution for 1995 is thus:

       183.33 x-2 000x 17 SEK =             6 233 220 SEK
       6 233 220 SEK : 9.357900 =           ECU 666 092
