The seventh annual meeting of the International Commission for the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries was held in Portugal from May 20 to 25, 1957. The Commission approved the recommendation of the Committee on Finance and Administration to appropriate $45,175 for the year 1957/58 and noted that the committee had adopted a budget estimate for the year 1958/59 of $48,500. An ad hoc committee considered matters of administration and management and made the following recommendation, inter alia : that the commissioners of the member countries should be asked to furnish on behalf of their governments the texts of the national laws or regulations giving effect to the mesh regulations prescribed by the Commission, information on the measures taken to make known to the fishermen the requirements of the mesh regulations, and an annual return showing what inspections had taken place and with what results. The Commission accepted this and other recommendations.
