Seal question The Subcommittee appointed by the International Council to elaborate proposals 



in regard to the question of the protection of the fisheries in certain seas against the 

 plague of seals , advises the International Council to recommend the governments of 

 the countries bordering on the Baltic and Kattegat to come to an agreement on the 

 following basis: 



1. The premium-system should be begun at as early a date as possible. 



2. The payment of the premiums should be regulated according to the accompanying 

 scheme on the "Premiums for the capture of seals". (See next page.) 



3. The different countries will themselves determine how the premium is to be 

 paid in cases where natives of one country land the seals or portions of seals 

 in a neighbouring country. 



4. Statistics should be kept of the material collected as a result of the premiums 

 and laid before the International Council at the annual meeting. 



These proposals of the Subcommittee were adopted by the Council. 



The International Council leaves it to the Subcommittee to undertake any further 

 work or arrangements that may be found necessary. 



The collaboration of Norway in the agreement has still to be obtained.
