§ Mr. McNamaraasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on negotiations for the common fishing policy.
§ Mr. HattersleyDiscussions are in progress in the Community on the adaptation of the common fisheries policy to take account of the prospective extension of fisheries limits to 200 miles. The Commission has put forward outline suggestions which would include 12-mile coastal belts reserved to member States and the division of remaining Community resources on the basis of quotas. We are pressing for substantially wider coastal belts. We shall also be concerned with the effect of the package as a whole, including the prospects for satisfactory enforcement. We have made clear to other Community Governments that the matter is of the greatest importance to us.
