Breakdown Of Talks On The South West Atlantic Fishery

EDM number 1077 in 1992-93, proposed by Michael Shersby on 15/12/1992.

That this House expresses its grave concern at the breakdown of talks between the British Government and the Argentine Government following its unilateral decision to invite applicatons for licences to fish in the waters of the South West Atlantic without regard to the need for effective conservation measures; notes that action was taken without prior consultation and that it will lead to rapid depletion of stocks of the Illex Squid, thus threatening the economy of the Falkland Islands; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to renew its efforts at ministerial level and to make it clear to Argentina that the United Kingdom will maintain its veto on the recent fishing accord between the European Community and Argentina unless a mutually acceptable agreement is reached on a joint management scheme for fishing in the South West Atlantic.

This motion has been signed by a total of 23 MPs.
