Soviet fishing retreat doubted
PA Wellington 1 A Soviet withdrawal from < New Zealand fishing < grounds is unlikely, although the Government has an- ' nounced a sharp reduction i in the Soviet Union’s quota, < according to the Soviet 1 National Fisheries represen- 1 tative in New Zealand, Mr i O. V. Bakurin. He said that the Govern- i ment move was a violation t of a fisheries agreement be- ; tween the two countries. I Fishing quotas could not I
be cut for political reasons, only to preserve fishing stock. Mr Bakurin said that he would report to his Minister in Moscow, who. would decide whether to accept the New Zealand quota. Failure to accept would presumably mean a Soviet withdrawal. “I believe our response will be that the principle of the treaty has been broken, and that this is another unfriendly act towards Soviet fishermen,” he said.
