                           EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
By regulation (EEC) N° 4195/88 the Council has laid down for 1989 certain
measures for the conservation and management of fishery resources
applicable to vessels flying the flag of Norway.
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 the catch quota allocated to the Community for 1989 was
increased in exchange for an increase of Norway's 1989 ling and tusk quota
It is therefore proposed to amend the above Regulation accordingly.
                                                                             I

 ---pagebreak---                        COMPETITIVENESS AND EMPLOYMENT IMPACT STATEMENT
                       The object of the proposed Regulation is to increase, after consultations
                       with Norway, the 1989 Norwegian catch quota of ling and tusk in the
                       Community EEZ, taking into account that the fishing possibilities for the
                       Community of "Other species" in Norwegian waters south of 62°N in 1989 were
                       increased.
                       The proposed Regulation will not involve undertakings in any particular
                       obligations. Furthermore, ling and tusk are no species under a TAC and
                       quota system in Community waters.
                       RAPPORT DE L'IMPACT SUR LA COMPETITIVITE ET L'EMPLOI
                      L'objet du Règlement proposé est d'augmenter après consultations avec la
                      Norvège, le quota de captures 1989 de la Norvège pour le stock de la lingue
                      et du brosme dans la ZEE de la Communauté, tenant compte du fait
                      que les possibilités de captures de la Communauté en 1989 pour les "Autres
                      espèces" dans les eaux norvégiennes au sud de 62°N ont été augmentées.
                      Le Règlement proposé n'implique pas d'obligation particulière pour les
                       entreprises. En outre, la lingue et le brosme ne sont pas des espèces
                       sous un régime de TACs et quotas dans les eaux communautaires.
