This Conservation and Management Measure of the Meeting of the Parties to the Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement establishes the SIOFA Compliance Monitoring Scheme (CMS). The purpose of the SIOFA CMS is to ensure that Contracting Parties, cooperating non-Contracting Parties, participating fishing entities and cooperating non-participating fishing entities (collectively CCPs) implement and comply with obligations arising under the Agreement and all CMMs adopted by the Meeting of the Parties, and to provide a mechanism to monitor and improve implementation of and compliance with these obligations. Specifically, the CMS is designed to, among other things: a. Monitor, assess and improve implementation and compliance by CCPs with their obligations under the Agreement and CMMs; b. Identify areas in which technical assistance or capacity building may be needed for compliance; c. Respond to non-compliance through preventative and/or remedial options and in cases of persistent non-compliance, take other actions as may be necessary or appropriate to promote and achieve compliance; d. Ensure the adequate implementation of and follow-up on recommendations on compliance matters.
