HC Deb 02 March 1982 vol 19 c65W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if the disposal of fisheries in the territorial waters of Greenland were discussed in the negotiations about a revised common fisheries policy; and what consequences the withdrawal of Greenland from the EEC would have on the negotiations.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

The utilisation of the fisheries within that part of Danish fishery limits generated by Greenland has been considered in the discussions for a revised common fisheries policy. The possible withdrawal of Greenland from the Community is unlikely to have a major impact on the negotiations.
