Terming both “complex issues”, he explained that under the Constitution, territorial waters up to 12 nautical miles into the sea are in the Union territory, although coastal states enjoyed “fishing rights” in these areas and they have also been levying sales tax/VAT on high-sea transactions. Saying this was not a political issue, the minister said a constitutionally and legally tenable solution to it would be found soon. The council will meet next on January 16 to discuss the two issues.
