Abstract

This Resolution of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), imposes an obligation on Contracting and non-Contracting Parties to require, as a prior condition for the registration or flagging of vessels, the presentation of a Certificate of Deletion from the previous Registry or flag or any other proof of consent to the transfer of the ship, issued by the previous CPC. Prior to the registry of any fishing vessel, the CPC should investigate the history of compliance of the subject vessel in ICCAT and other regional management organizations, in order to determine if such vessel is on the negative lists and/or is currently registered in the sanctioned CPCs or non-Contracting Parties.
