Abstract

The Agreement is in the form of Exchanges of Letters between the European Community and the Government of Canada and concerns fisheries relations. The Government of Canada has the honour to propose that this letter and the enclosed memorandum shall constitute an Agreement on fisheries relations between the Government of Canada and the European Community which shall enter into force on the date of the Community's reply. The Parties have agreed: (a) to cooperate to support effective conservation and sustainable exploitation of Northwest Atlantic fisheries resources, (b) to comply with the decisions of NAFO on fisheries management and conservation. Canada shall permit Community fishing vessels to enter and use Canadian ports and to make available to the Community allocations of fish designated by Canada as surplus to Canadian harvesting requirements on a basis comparable to arrangements for licensing of other foreign vessels to fish in the Canadian fishing zone, taking into account the traditional interest of the Community in receiving, in the event of any surpluses being available, allocations of groundfish (such as in particular redfish, witch and Greenland halibut) The Community has the honour to inform Canada that is in agreement with the contents of the letter and confirms to agree with the memorandum of understanding.
