20. International Observer Scheme

(from "Chairman's Report of the Twenty-Second Meeting")



The Technical Committee again proposed that the International Observer Scheme should be implemented and a number of Commissioners urged strongly that steps should be taken to bring into operation the Scheme already approved by the Commission. The view was expressed that the Scheme should cover all whaling areas and land stations as well as pelagic expeditions. The Chairman pointed out that there was no disagreement as to the necessity of implementing the Scheme and the countries concerned were urged to implement it as soon as possible by themselves putting forward concrete proposals.
