Abstract

This Measure of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), adopted in accordance with Article IX.2(i) of the Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources, requires the Commission to take various measure to combat IUU fishing. At each annual meeting, the Commission will identify those Contracting Parties whose vessels have engaged in fishing activities in the Convention Area in a manner which has diminished the effectiveness of CCAMLR conservation measures in force, and shall establish a list of such vessels (CP-IUU Vessel List), in accordance with the procedures and criteria set out in this Measure. Identification shall be based upon, inter alia, information obtained from Port States. The List shall be drafted and review in accordance with rules set out in this Measure. For the purposes of this conservation measure, the Contracting Parties are considered as having carried out fishing activities that have diminished the effectiveness of the conservation measures adopted by the Commission if: 10-06 (i) the Parties do not ensure compliance by their vessels with the conservation measures adopted by the Commission and in force, in respect of the fisheries in which they participate that are placed under the competence of CCAMLR; (ii) their vessels are repeatedly included in the CP-IUU Vessel List. Contracting Parties shall closely monitor any of their vessels included in the Draft, Provisional or Final CP-IUU Vessel List, in order to determine, inter alia, any changes of name, flag or registered owner which will be immediately notified to the Executive Secretary.
