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.
