see? Red blue whiting N THE part of the north-east Atlantic Pr lies around the Faroe Íslands, the waters ae rkh in blue whiting. Wor- ried people in NATO fear that the 140,000 tonnes of fish which Soviet trawlers will catch this year in those waters, under a re- newed deal, may really be red herrings. In exchange, Faroese fishermen will be allowed to take 21,000 tonnes of cod in Soviet waters. Most of this, however, will come from the zone in the Barents Sea thar is still disputed between Russia and Norway; so, as Norwegians set it, the Rus- sians are being rather generous with some- The Economist: Vit upplysa ikki, hvør skrivar greinarnar her i segði einki veruleikanum SE sosialurin body else's fish. The Faroese regard their agreernerx with Russia as just a hshery deal. Mr Ari: Dam, the Social Democratic prime minis ter, says they would be happy to accept any equally attractive offer from another country. But the worried men of NATO think there is more to it The Russians also have agreements by which Soviet ships are repaired at two of the three Faroese shipyards. The NATO at- alysts fear thar the fshing fleet and the Russians supervising the repair work might form a Soviet task force which, in a hald hevði i Tað eydn eriszs, could take control of the Faroes long before NATO could react. The islands, with only 46,000 people, he about 0 miles north of Scotland and 400 miles west of Norway, in the middle of an area where a naval battle for the control of the North Atlantic might well rake place The islands are Danish, but except for foreign and defence policy, the judiciary and the monetary system, they are self governing. Thanks to a generous subsidvy from Denmark, the islanders average in come is higher even than that of the Danes. The population has increased steadilv over the past 30 years: visitors to Thorshavn, the islands' capttai, are asked whether anv other small-island society can make the same boast. the industrious Faroese have been investing heavily, not least in modern trawler capacity; and they have no unemployment The constitutional link with Denmark has its oddiries. The Faroese are in MAT as part of Denmark (they have a small Nr. 7 — 19. januar 1988 NATO radar statron), bur chey chose not to join the EC when Denmark joined it in 1973. The islanders feared that the Com- munity's &sh policy would threaten che in- dustrs thar accounts for about 90% Á their export easmings. Bar their Ssheries suffered in the 19705 when the introduction of 200- mile coasta sea zones shut our the Faroese from their tradirionai &shing grounds for high-value fish such as cod and haddock. The blue øhiting of which their own waters contan large stocks are not sold for human con- sumption in western markets, although ther are used for that purpose in Russia. The islanders have an ambitious plan to change western tastes. Blue whiting is an excellent fish, but small. The Faroese trawler oæners, encouraged by govern- ment subsidies, have already built a size able fleet of trawlers specially designed to catch blue whiting. Unfortunately, they have not yet perfecred the technique for vroducing blue whiting fillers free of bone and skin, and until they do they cannot hope to sell the product. For the time be- ing, therefore, the agreement with Russia is important to help keep the fishing ir dustry solvent Mr Dam is not worried about the dea with Russia. But an indication that it wor ries other Faroese was given in Septer ber's Danish parliamentary election (the islands have a little parliament of their own, but they also send røo members tc the Folketing in Copenhagen). Mr Ob Brerkmann, an ardent supporter of NATC who edirs one of the islands' eight newspa pers, was returned to the Folketing with an increased majorky Upplysa ikki hvør skrivar blaðnum, men vit útihýsa heldur ikki meguleikanum at ein feroyingur kann hava skrivað tær Hetta fáa vit upplýst á blaðnum The Economist í London aftaná, at blaðið í seinasta nummarinum hevur skrivað grein um fiskiveiðisáttmálan mill um Feroyar og Sovjet.
