                PROPOSAL FOR A COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
          laying down for 1984 certain measures for the conservation
          and management of fishery resources applicable to vessels

          allocating certain catch quotas between Member States for
          vessels fishing in the Norwegian economic zone and the
          fishery zone around Jan Mayen

 ---pagebreak---                           EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Consultations between the Community and Norway in accordance with the
Framework Agreement on Fisheries were held in Brussels on 7 and 8 December 1983.
These consultations resulted in an agreement on reciprocal fishery
arrangements for 1984 concerning each Party's fishing rights in the
other’s zone, as well as the fixing of the total allowable catches (TACs)
for the joint stocks in the North Sea and their allocation between the
Parties.
The level of fishing possibilities under the 1984 reciprocal arrangements
 for each Party in the other's zone is maintained at the same level as in
 1983, i.e. approximately 80 000 metric tonnes equivalent cod.
 The purpose of the proposed regulation is thus to authorise Norwegian
 vessels to fish from 1 January 1984 the quotas allocated to them for 1984
 in Community waters in accordance with the above-mentioned reciprocal
 fishery arrangements.  To avoid an interruption in mutual fishery relations
 between the Community and Norway, this proposed regulation must be
 adopted, at the latest, by the end of this year.

      Consultations between the Community and Norway in Brussels on
7 and 8 December 1983 resulted in an agreed record defining a reciprocal
 fishery arrangement for 1984. This arrangement provides, inter alia,
for certain catch quotas for Community vessels in the Norwegian fishery
zone.
     The purpose of this proposed regulation is to allocate between
Member States the quotas available in 1984 for Community fishing vessels
in the Norwegian zone under the abovementioned arrangements.
     The proposed allocations of the quotas available to the Community
between Member States are based on the principles used for the allocation
of the 1983 quotas.
