B . DELEGATIONS :

1. John Malm United Fishermen & Allied Workers Union

Requesting Council's support in appealing the recent GATT decision. File: 4873-001

Mr. Malm read the following brief.

The recent trade ruling has been described by both union and corporate spokesmen as a disaster for the fishing industry in British Columbia.

Long time fish companies, such as Ocean Fish and Seafood Products Ltd. have said they will face closure and will consider moving operations to the United States.

The figure of 4,000 to 5,000 jobs lost has been quoted extensively from industry sources.

The ruling was made by a panel of an organization known as the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. The ruling says simply that regulations limiting the export of raw sockeye and pink salmon and roe herring should be removed.

These regulations, placed on the three species shortly after the turn of the century, were aimed at ensuring an employment base in Canada and the conservation of the stocks.

In effect, the regulations meant that before being exported the fish had to pass through a Canadian plant for initial processing.

In some cases this has meant the fish was canned and in others it simply meant that it was frozen, graded and boxed up for shipment.

For fishermen, the ruling will not bring the massive increases in prices which some believe. not pay substantially more for fish than their Canadian counterparts.

US and Japanese fish buyers will

Any when many of the companies are out of business in BC, the price will drop. to keep up prices than domestic buyers.

Foreign processors have no more a commitment

Fishermen, already burdened by more regulations than any other industry, will also see a further conservative shift in management as it becomes more and more difficult to keep track of the total catch.

For roe-herring, fishermen are paid some of the best prices in the world, partly determined by the excellent product preparations which goes on in Canada before the export of the roe takes place.

In the United States, where no export restrictions exist on the export of herring, the fish is simply frozen and shipped in Korea or Japan for processing.

The practice here would destroy 3,000 jobs in the roe-herring industry in British Columbia.

Over the long-term, the ruling will also result in the failure of Canadian processors to meet long term market commitments that have been built up over the past century.

This in turn will contribute to the demise of the industry here and the destruction of our secure markets.

The United Fishermen and Allied Workers' Union believes this ruling must be defeated.

This can come as no surprise to anyone. The ruling strikes at the heart of our right as a nation to put our interests first.

Many other nations take similar actions to protect their raw resources and ensure the most benefit is returned to the country where the resources are found. Without such legislation, countries would be open to the high grading of the resources and their transfer, unprocessed, to the cheap labor ghettos of the world.

The ramifications of the preliminary ruling are immense. What would happen if the same principles were applied to the export of logs? British Columbia would be curtailed or destroyed. One can only imagine the damage such a ruling would have.

Our right to restrict the flow of raw logs out of

For the fishing industry, the ruling also flies in the face of other recent agreements including the Law of the Sea agreement and the Canada-US salmon treaty.

Both documents have at their root the fundamental right of the countries where the fish originate to reap the benefits of those fish.

The Law of the Sea states that countries have the right to process ocean resources found within the 200 mile zone.

The benefits of the Canada US Salmon Treaty were predicated on the assumption that the fish would continue to be processed in Canada. If this ruling passes, it draws into serious question the valdity of such a treaty with the United States.

- 3 -

We ended up at GATT because the United States wanted access to Canadian raw fish resources. The appeal to GATT was sparked by Alaskan processors concerned about a growing trend by Canadians to purchase raw fish in Alaska.

In particular, a move by the Prince Rupert Co-op to purchase raw herring in the United States set the wheels in motion for this verdict.

We have no argument with US processors who want the same protection for foreign buyers as we do in Canada. right of countries to determine how raw resources will be used.

It is the

But instead of giving the US processors the protection they were seeking, the GATT ruling strips our rights.

The ruling must now proceed to the full GATT body, an organization of some 92 countries.

It is imperative that the federal and provincial governments act now to stop the panel recommendations from becoming accepted by the whole organization.

This council, and many others across the province, are being approached and asked to lend their voice to the growing number of organizations and individuals who are opposed to the destruction of our fishing industry.

We would like to end our presentation with a concern regarding the free trade agreement.

It appears clear to us that should the free trade agreement pass, Canada would be forced to follow GATT rulings. this in the tantative agreement.

It states

That would place us at a serious disadvantage in protecting our industries and interests. Until now GATT has been a voluntary body which makes non-binding rulings.

As well the free trade agreement also prevents us from placing further export restrictions on raw resources. industry this would mean many thousands of jobs will remain lost to us as groundfish is exported out of Canada raw.

In the fishing

We realize there are many opinions on the free trade agreement and the controversial nature of the move by the federal government. councils attention these facts.

However, we would be remiss in not bringing to

We want to thank you in advance for any help you can extend the people of the fishing industry in this fight for the survival of the industry as we know it today.
