Section III External resources

Article 52

1. As from accession, the fisheries agreements concluded by the Kingdom of Norway with third countries shall be managed by the Community .

However, until 30 June 1998, the agreement with Russia of 15 October 1976 on mutual fishing relations shall be managed by the Kingdom of Norway in close association with the Commission.

2. The rights and obligations resulting for the Kingdom of Norway from the agreements referred to in paragraph 1 shall not be affected during the period in which the provisions of these agreements are provisionally maintained.

3. As soon as possible, and in any event before the expiry of the agreements referred to in paragraph 1, the appropriate decisions for the continuation of fishing possibilities shall be adopted in each case by the Council, acting by a qualified majority on a proposal from the Commission, including the possibility of extending certain agreements for periods not exceeding one year.

4. Where, by virtue of existing agreements concluded by the Community with third countries, in particular with Greenland, Norway has derived fishing possibilities prior to the date of accession, these will be maintained on the basis of Community principles, including the principle of relative stability.
