Vega-2 electron measurements in the vicnity of Comet Halley are reported, and then compared with corresponding Giotto measurements. An interesting finding is a feature observed by Vega-2 at cometocentric distances of 15,000-20,000 km, but not observed by Giotto: the presence of high-energy (1-keV) electron fluxes. Since this component was not detected by Giotto, it is suggested that the presence of these electrons in the circumcometary space is a sporadic event, and that it is a consequence of 'substorm' type processes.
