The recommendations of the North-East Atlantic Fisheries Commission, referred to in Resolution 504 (1971), have been implemented by the Government. The only section of the resolution not accepted by the Government is section 4 (b), which urges that measures for the protection of salmon be extended to territorial waters. Such an extension would be neither practical nor in the national interest.
