Abstract

This Measure of the South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO), recalling the International Plan of Action to prevent, to deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IPOA-IUU), concerns data collection and reporting by Members or Cooperating non-Contracting Parties (Members and CNCPs) on IUU fishing in the Convention Area and the drawing up of draft IUU lists or IUU lists (and modification of them) by the SPRFMO Executive Secretary. The CMM defines when fishing fishing vessels flying the flag of a non-Member, or a Member or a CNPC are presumed to have carried out IUU activities in the Convention Area. Members and CNCPs shall transmit every year to the Executive Secretary at least 120 days before the annual meeting, their list of vessels presumed to be carrying out IUU fishing activities in the Convention Area over the past two years (beginning with the entry into force of this CCM), accompanied by suitably documented evidence concerning the presumption of IUU fishing activity. Before or at the same time as transmitting a list of presumed IUU vessels to the Executive Secretary, the Member or CNCP shall notify, either directly or through the Executive Secretary using the Reporting Form in Annex 1, the relevant flag State of a vessel’s inclusion on this list. The draft list shall be drawn up in conformity with Annex 2. The SPRFMO Commission shall review the Provisional IUU List, taking into account any new suitably documented information related to vessels on the Provisional IUU list, and any recommendations to amend the current IUU list made by the Compliance and Technical Committee (CTC), and adopt a new IUU list.
