In accordance with the framework agreement on fisheries between the European Economic Community on the one hand and the Government of Denmark and the Home Government of the Faroe Islands on the other, the two parties held consultations define their reciprocal conditions for fishing in 1982, These resulted on 1 February 1982 in an agreement on the subject of each party’s fishing rights in 1982 in the other's waters.
It is the purpose of the Regulation proposed hereby to establish a regime allowing Faroese vessels to fish in the Community fishery zone in accordance with the agreement reached during these consultations.
The arrangements provided for in this Regulation are based upon the results of the said consultations as set out in the agreed record signed
by the heads of delegations.
Since the interim regime under which Faroese vessels are authorised to fish at present in the Community's fishery zone {Regulation (EEC)
No. /82) expires on 30 April 1982 it is necessary that a new regime
is adopted before that date if an interruption of the reciprocal fishing activities between the Community and the Faroe Islands is to be avoided.
