                              EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1 . On 25 March 1976 , Portugal signed a fisheries agreement with Morocco . This
    agreement entered into force on 4 January 1978 for an initial period of 5
    years .
    Since then , the agreement has been automatically renewed each year , not
    having been denounced at least three months before the end of each annual
    period , as provided for in the agreement .
2 . Article 354(2 ) of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal lays down that
    Portugal 's rights and obligations for the Portuguese Republic under
    fisheries agreements concluded with third countries shall not be affected
    during the period for which the provisions of such agreements are
    provisionally maintained . Under Article 354(3 ) of the Act of Accession , the
    Council , acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission ,
    is to adopt the decisions appropriate for the continuation of fishing
    activities resulting from such agreements . This may include prolonging them
    for periods not exceeding one year .
    On 22 December 1986 , the Council authorized Portugal to extend its
    Fisheries Agreement with Morocco for the period 4 January 1987 to 3 January
    1988 .
3 . The preliminary fisheries arrangements signed on 1 August between the
    Community and Morocco , which contain additional provisions for the
    implementation of the Agreement between Portugal and Morocco , will expire
    on 31 December , and negotiations for the conclusion of a EEC/Morocco
    Fisheries agreement are under way . The attached proposal for a decision
    accordingly authorizes the Portuguese Republic to extend its Fisheries
    Agreement with Morocco again from 4 January 1988 until the implementation
    of a Fisheries agreement between the Community and Morocco or until 3
    January 1989 , whichever is the earlier .

     RAPPORT  DE L ! IiiPACT SUR LA COMPETITIVITE ET L' EMPLOI
L' objet de cette mesure est de maintenir des possibilités de
pêche pour les pêcheurs de la Communauté .
Cela implique de la port des armateurs l' engagement dans
certaines obligations ( entre autres paiement des redevances
de  licences ) mais celles-ci    seront nettement dépassées par le
bénéfice du maintien de l' emploi .
