 ---pagebreak---                            EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
         Consultations have taken place between the Community and Norway
at the request of the Norwegian authorities , as a result of the extension
of the Danish fishing zone off the East coast of Greenland to the North
of 67° North , which took effect 1 june 1980 .
During these consultations , held in accordance with the rules laid down
in the Framework Agreement on Fisheries signed on 27 february 1980 , the
Community delegation agreed to recommend to its authorities that the
Norwegian fishermen should be authorized to carry on their traditional
fishing of capelin in the abovement ioned waters , it being understook that
these vessels complied with the usual system of licensing and provision
of information . At this occasion the Norwegian delegation agreed to
recommend to its authorities that the Community fishermen should be
authorized to catch up to 2.000 t of mackerel in the Norwegian zone as
from 21 july 1980 .
         The draf Regulation modifies Regulation ( EEC ) n . 1717 / 80 and its
purpose is to authorize 168 Norwegian vessels to catch a maximum of
20.000 tonnes of capelin in the abovement ioned - waters unt 1 1 31 december 1980 .
         Since the fishing of capelin is essenti al ly . seasonal , and in
order to avoid the stopping of this traditional fishing , by the lack
of a modification of th'e Council Regulation in force , the Commission
proposes to modify this regulation on the basis of Article 103 of the .
Treaty .

  Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
                                                                             l
  Whereas on 27 June 1980 the Council adopted Regulation ( EEC ) No . 1717 / 80 ( 1 )
  Whereas, fol lowing the decision of the Danish Government to extend the
  fishing zone off the east coast of Greenland to the North of 67° North,.
         fishing activities in those waters shall be subject to the relevant
  Community rules ;                          .
  Whereas , at the request of the Norwegian authorities, consultations were
  held between the Community and Norway within the framework of the Agreement
  on fisheries signed between the two parties on 27 february 1980 , with a
  view to determining the conditions under which certain Norwegian fishing
   activities could be carried out in those waters during 1980 -;
   Whereas the continuance of fishing activities by Norwegian vessels in those
^ waters should be authorized during 1980 , and whereas , therefore , Regulation
   ( EEC ) No 1717/ 80 should be amended so- as to include a quota for capelin ;

Whereas the fishing period for capelin is of short duration and starts at the .
end of July , and whereas , therefore , in order to allow fishermen concerned to
benefit from this additional allocation , rules authorizing such activity
should be adopted immediately ;
Whereas , consequently , these measures should be adopted temporarily on the
basis of Article 103 of the Treaty , subject to their being included at a later
date- in itdre icommon agricultural policy ,                          i t :' ;
