Abstract

The Recommendation provides for the necessity to implement the eBCD system to strengthen the implementation of the bluefin tuna catch documentation program. The text aims for strengthening the ability of electronic catch documentation systems to detect fraud and deter IUU shipments, expedite the validation/verification process of bluefin tuna catch documents (BCDs), prevent erroneous information entry, reduce pragmatic workloads and create automated links between Parties including exporting and importing authorities. The text provides that all CPCs concerned shall, as soon as possible for eBCD system implementation, submit to the Secretariat the data necessary to ensure the registration of their users in the eBCD system. Access to and use of the system cannot be ensured for those who fail to provide and maintain the data required by the eBCD system. The text consists of 8 Articles and has 2 Annexes.
