The Community should actively support the introduction, as appropriate, through international agreement, of the same kind of measures for the high seas as have been accepted in Community waters. In addition to quantitative restrictions such
measures as closed areas and closed seasons should be considered. Wit

Structural policies should be strengthened to ensure that the Community's fishing fleet is of a size which is appropriate for the rational exploitation of legitimate fishing possibilities on the high seas. There is also room for wider use of technical conservation measures.La Communauté doit soutenir activement l'application, au besoin, par la voie d'un accord international, à la haute mer de mesures similaires à celles q
