                       COMMUNICATION TO THE COMMISSION
 Consultations between the Community and Norway, have resulted in an
 agreement on additional Community catch possibilities for "Other Species"
 in Norwegian waters, south of 62°N, in 1989, on the condition that the
 Community was prepared to increase the Norwegian quota for ling and tusk
 for 1989. Norway will be submitting a request to this effect at a later
 date.
 The aim of the present proposal for a regulation is to allocate among the
 Member States the increased quotas available for 1989 to Community vessels
 fishing in the Norwegian zone under the abovementioned arrangement.
 The Commission is called upon to approve this proposal and to have it
•transmitted to the Council. The proposal should be adopted by the Council
 at its earliest convenience, in order to prevent any interruption of
 Community fisheries in Norwegian waters.
 ---pagebreak---                            EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
By regulation (EEC) N° 4196/88 the Council has allocated among Member
States the shares available for 1989 to Community vessels fishing in the
Norwegian fishing zone.
Following a Community request the Community and Norway have held
consultations regarding an increase of the Community's 1989 catch
possibilities of "Other species" in the Norwegian fishing zone south of
62°N. As a result Norway agreed that the catch quota allocated to the
Community for 1989 was increased on the condition that the Community was
prepared to increase the Norwegian quota for ling and tusk for 1989. Norway
will be submitting a request to this effect at a later date.
It is therefore proposed to amend the above Regulation accordingly.
