THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY (hereinafter referred to as "the Community"),

of the one part, and

THE GOVERNMENT OF SWEDEN,

of the other part,

CONSIDERING the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Government of Sweden on fisheries, signed on 21 March 1977;

HAVING REGARD to the fact that Sweden is carrying out extensive measures for the purpose of promoting the reproduction of salmon in the Baltic Sea,

HAVING REGARD to the fact that these measures also benefit the fishing undertaken by vessels of Member States of the Community,

HAVE AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

Article 1

Article 2

Sweden shall implement reproductive measures with a view to maintaining a satisfactory stock of salmon within the Swedish fishery zone in the Baltic Sea.

Article 3

The Community shall participate in the costs of the measures referred to in Article 2 by granting a yearly financial contribution to the Swedish authorities. The amount of this contribution shall be determined for each year during the consultations between the Parties regarding fishery quotas for the year concerned so as to cover the actual costs to the Swedish authorities of breeding, tagging and releasing a quantity of smolts necessary to produce a quantity of salmon equal to the non-reciprocal quota allocated to the Community in the Swedish fishery zone for the year during which the contribution is to be granted.

Article 4

This Agreement shall enter into force on the date on which the Parties notify each other of the completion of the procedures necessary for this purpose.

Article 5

This Agreement shall remain in force for as long as the 1977 Agreement between the Community and Sweden on fisheries remains in force.

Article 6

This Agreement shall apply, on the one hand, to the territories in which the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community is applied and under the conditions laid down in that Treaty and, on the other hand, to the territory of the Kingdom of Sweden.
