French Department ofGuyana .
3.Itisproposed toreduce thenumber oflicences granted tovessels

Japan that areobliged toland alltheir catches inGuyana .
Infact ,forI98I ,81licences only have been accorded ofthe100authorized

theprocessing capacity oflocal transformation industries .
In1982 ,5to7French vessels being constructed (presently )are
going tofish iuthewaters ofGuyana andwill land their catches
inthis Department .Given that ,thecapacity oflocal transformation
industries will notbeincreased ,itistherefore necessary toreduce
thenumber oflicences to16inorder totake thecatches ofthese new
vessels into account .
