Ladies and gentlemen! We are indeed very glad to welcome oyu the British Ambas SOSIALURIN We were glad, when we heard said that the British people would never forget this coura- geours effort of the Faroese fis- hermen in those perilous days. But to day we must regret that the situation has reversed. We do not feel so very comfor- table. To day the Faroese fisher- men are the only foreign fisher- men who are subjected to re- strictions when landing their fish in British harbours. This indeed very regreitable state of affairs must be due to some mis understanding. It is said, that Her Majesty's Government strictly speaking. has not had anything to do with these restrictions on Faroe se fishexport to Britain, but we feel that this must be regarded AN, serious effort to have a modern well equipped and efficient fis- hing fleet in order to be able to compete with other fishprodu- cing nations on equal terms as regards quality and cost of pro- duction. to the benefit of our |selves and the fish consumers of the countries we trade with.
