Bangkok Post Dec 23, 1999.
Fishing ban preserved to replenish stocks
Post Reporters
Burma had made clear it will not re-open its waters to Thai trawlers, =
saying it needs time to replenish marine stocks.
The Foreign Ministry said Rangoon insisted the closure, now in its 11th =
week, was neither permanent nor discriminatory as Burmese fishermen were =
also affected.
Burmese authorities, including Maung Maung Thein, fisheries and =
livestock minister, discussed the issue with a delegation from the =
Agriculture Ministry who visited Rangoon between Dec 20-21.
Burma closed its waters on Oct 2 following the 25-hour siege of its =
Bangkok embassy by dissidents.
An industry source said Burma said the matter would be raised on =
Saturday in Rangoon at a meeting of the Fishery Federation.
