See Stokke's "Loophole of the Barents Sea Fisheries Regime" FNI Report of 1998; This separate bilateral Agreement between Iceland and Norway is made under the Agreement between the Government of Norway, the Government of Iceland, and the Government of the Russian Federation concerning certain aspects of cooperation in the area of fisheries. Its provisions establish total allowable catch quotas for Icelandic vessels in the Norwegian EEZ for cod, and an amount of 30 thirty percent of by-catch. Iceland shall not fish for capelin in the Barents Sea as long as the Agreement remains in force. Article 3 specifies Norwegian fishing opportunities in the Icelandic EEZ in terms of total allowable catch of tusk, ling and blue ling with longline fisheries and capelin in specified areas. Numbers of vessels that may participate in fishing are limited to 15 for Iceland and 3 and 5 respectively for Norway. (9 articles); FAO Descriptors: 110; 105; 021; 055; 029; 031
