I. the Committee on Fisheries and "Peace Line"
At the 3rd meeting of this committee, our delegation stated that the Japanese proposal on "the Essentials of Japan-Korea Fishery Agreement" presented at the previous meeting could not be considered as a basis for discussions, on the ground that it is extremely unconstructive, particularly in view of the Item One of the proposal. At this stage, the Japanese side asked us if the Korean side would submit a proposal in this regard.
Our side told the Japanese side that the Korean proposal regarding the essentials of Korea-Japan Fishery Agreement based on the Peace Line, submitted at the 2nd Korea-Japan Conference in 1953, is standing as our position.
Our delegation requested the Japanese side to submit a new constructive proposal on fisheries, if any. The Japanese side said it would study on the matter and express its views at the 4th meeting. However, at the 4th meeting held on wednesday, October 22, the Japanese side stated that it had not completed the preparation to present its views and requested us to wait until next meeting which is scheduled on October 29, 1958.
II. The Sub-committee on Other Claims Regarding the Matter on Art Objects: The Japanese side said that it considered very difficult to give its answer to our request made at previous meetings, pending basis decision regarding the matter by the higher levels of the Government of Japan, due to the complicated situations of internal polities, but it added that the Japanese side will make effort to iron out difficulties with sincerity.
It continued that the answer would be made as soon as possible. Regretting that the Japanese answer was being so delayed, our side strongly requested that the Japanese side give a definite answer to our request at the earliest possible date.
III. the Committee on Legal Status of Korean-Residents in Japan: 1) In accordance with Item One of Annex II of the Government Instructions No.OIJONG 3554 of September 18, 1958, our side presented to the committee our proposal regarding status and treatment of Korean residents as attached to the Government Instructions No.OIJONG 3810 of October 13, 1958. In this connection, we put on record
