In the course of negotiations for conclusion of the Agreement on Fisheries between Japan and the Republic of Korea, the following statements were made respectively by the Japanese and Korean sides:

Japanese Representative:

(a) Administrative guidance in "give administrative guidance... so as to restrict the number of fishing vessels or fishing units in operation" referred to in paragraph 2 (a) of the Agreed Minutes to the Agreement includes guidance for the adjustment of the number of licences and identification markings.

(b) The observation [inspection] of the state of policing within its country referred to in paragraph 3 (c) of the Agreed Minutes to the Agreement includes receiving an explanation about the state of issuance of licences and identification markings.

(c) Most of the Japanese fishing vessels engaging in coastal fishing which is not subject to the provisional regulation measures for fisheries and operating in the joint regulation zone are of small scale management and their areas of operation are, because of the actual operational capability of such fishing vessels, mainly from north of Tsushima to northwest of Chejudo in the joint regulation zone, and, in view of the state of that fishing, it is considered that there will be no major change in this situation.
