        European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway concerning
        agriculture and fisheries , approved by Council Decision of 15
        September 1986 ( 1 ), provide in particular for the opening of an
        annual Community tariff quota of 1 000 tonnes at a rate of 8.5 % in
        respect of animal oils and fats of marine origin other than of
        whales or sperm-whales , in packings of a net capacity of more than 1
