EMBASSY OF FRAJ,CE. LONDON.

23rd August,

1949.

Sir,

By letter dated 25th June, 1949, addressed to the Secretary of State for the overseas Territo1•ies of France, you called the attention of the French

Government to Resolutions Nos. JO, 11,

13

and 14 adopted

by the International .1haling Commission which met in London from 30th May to 7th June, last. These

Resolutions had for their object the anending of certain paragrapts of the Annex to the International .'haling Convention of 1946.

Article

S

^of^th~Convention lays do~n that any amendment adcpted by the Comnissicn Mill automatically eP-ter into force after a period of ninety days from

notification of that a~end~ent, unless objectt~ to within that period by any one of the contracting Goverru:uents. In this case the closing date has been fixed by the Commi::)sion as 10th Octobe1· ne.x.t.

However, tht: French Government t:oints out that since France has no lhaling fle6t, the putting into force of

the fourth amendoent (Resolution No. 14 of the Comreission annexed to the report of the President cf the first

Conference of the International iihaling Commission) would prevent i t from chartering foreign factory ships for

\.,haliug off the coasts of west Africa and l!adagascar and that it would considerably restrict the French \ihaline industry.

VICTORIA EMBANKMENT, LONDON, S.W. I .. September,

Circular letter to all Contracting Governments Resolution No. 14

Sir,

I am directed by the Chairman of the International libaling Com:ni.asion to refer to my circular letter to Contracting Governments of 25th June, 1949

and to inform you that in a letter addressed to the Coimd.ssion and dated

23rd August, 194-9 (copy enclosed) the ~'rencb Government have lodged a forma.l objection to the amendment of the International Whaling Convention of 1946

contained in Resolution 14, passed by the Commission at its first meeting.

The French Government base their objection on the fact that this amendment would prevent her f'rom chartering foreign factory ships for who.ling on the coasts of Heat Africa and Madagascar and would thus considerably restrict the French whaling industry.

The French Govern:nent do not raise any objection to the other three amondments of the Schedule to the Convention, as set out in the Chairman's Report endora.a in my letter under reference.

The effect of this objection (by reference to Article V(3) of the 1946

Convention) is that this particular amendment cannot become effective with respect to any of the Contracting Governments for 6ll additional period of ninety days calculated from 10th October, 1949 the expiring date of the first ninety day period. During this ad.di tiona.l ninety day period aey Contracting Government JIJAy present an objection to the amendment, or such an objection may be presented before the expiration of thirty days from the date of receipt of the last objection received during such additional ninety day period, whichever date shall be the later.

, Further in:formation will be sent to you on this ·subject as and when available and I am to requeot an acknowledgment of this letter, in accordance with Article V(3) of the 1946 Convention.

A copy of this circular letter (with enclosure) is being sent to ench Commissioner.
