Claim:
1. A moving picture decoding method for decoding a current block of a picture, the moving picture decoding method comprising: deriving one or more candidates of a first type, each of the candidates having a first motion vector predictor derived front a first motion vector that has been used to decode a first block; deriving a candidate of a second type, the candidate having a second motion vector predictor, the candidate of the second type being different from the candidates of the first type; and decoding a coded index corresponding to a selected candidate having a motion vector predictor, wherein the selected candidate is one of a plurality of candidates which includes the candidates of the first type and the candidate of the second type, a total number of the candidates of the first type is less than a predetermined maximum candidate number, and the predetermined maximum candidate number is fixed for all blocks in the picture.
