Foreign fishing fleets are
to be allowed greater
access to Canadian ports,
Fisheries’ Minister
Romeo LeBlane an-
nounced today, a policy
change expected to bring
immediate benefits to St.
John’s, Néld.
Foreigners new will be
allowed to change crews,
urchase supplies and’

Soviet vessels now can
have repairs done in the
Canadian National

exchange crews,

- Restrictions Eased For
Foreign Fishing Fleets

Previously, foreign
yessels were allowed to
use ports only for
refueling, replenishing
foodstecks and providing
the crew recreation.

Now countries which
have bilateral fisheries
agreements can apply for
greater port privileges.
“We are not throwing our
ports wide open,”
LeBlane said. Each
roposal would be exam-
ined for its significant
economic benefit.

Benefits would include
major repair contracts,

WANTS CONTRACT

The St. John's
dockyard is negotiating
with the Soviet Union for
a long-term repair con-
tract. The ferst step is an
experimental $200,000
contract for the two
Soviet vessels. LeBlanc
said future contracts will
be spread among other
ports. He did not specify -
which ports.

The policy an-
nouncement had been
expected,

Fisheries officials said
earlier this year port
restrictions on foreigners
had outlived’ —sttheir
usefulness. They were.
designed for the pre-200-
mile-limit days and were
about the only way
foreign fishing could be
restricted, A disabled
fishing: vessel had to be
fixed at sea or go home

for repairs. a
The 200-mile limit gave
Canada more control
over foreign fishing, It
also meant a reduction in
foreign vessels in the
zones and a drop in
business for ports.
Greater access would
help .hard-pressed East
Coast ports. - ;
LeBlanc said in a
statement that the policy
change should put “more
money flowing to the
major Atlantic and
Pacific ports as well as
commensurate benefits
accruing to the Canadian
fishing industry." =
“Coastal ports can-
nlook forward to doing a
freater amount of
business with the smaller
number of ships allowed
into the Canadian zone.

fishermen could benefit
