25. ANY OTHER BUSINESS

(from "Chairman's Report of the Thirty-Seventh Annual Meeting")


1. St Lucia introduced a draft Resolution on whaling infractions. This proposed that the IWC should consider in 1986 as amendments to the Schedule the two Resolutions adopted at the 31st and 32nd Annual Meetings designed to prevent non-IWC whaling and to discourage trade in whale products from non-IWC members and entities.

The Commission agreed, with reservations by some members, to place this matter on the agenda of the 38th Annual Meeting, with the title 'Outlaw Whaling'.

2. The USSR announced that it was withdrawing the reservations it entered to the two amendments adopted last year by the Commission to its Rules of Procedure, rules B.2(b) and F.2(e).
