The purpose of the WCPFC Compliance Monitoring Scheme (CMS) is to ensure that Members, Cooperating Non-Members and Participating Territories (CCMs) implement and comply with obligations arising under the Convention and conservation and management measures (CMMs) adopted by the Commission. The CMS is designed to: (i) assess CCMs’ compliance with their obligations; (ii) identify areas in which technical assistance or capacity building may be needed to assist CCMs to attain compliance; (iii) identify aspects of conservation and management measures which may require refinement or amendment for effective implementation; (iv) respond to non-compliance through remedial options that include a range of possible responses that take account of the reason for and degree of noncompliance, and include cooperative capacity-building initiatives and, in case of serious non-compliance, such penalties and other actions as may be necessary and appropriate to promote compliance with CMMs and other Commission obligations; and (v) monitor and resolve outstanding instances of non-compliance. The Commission shall evaluate CCMs’ compliance with the obligations arising under the Convention and the CMMs adopted by the Commission and identify instances of non-compliance. CCMs that cannot meet a particular obligation that is being assessed, due to a lack of capacity shall provide a Capacity Development Plan to the Secretariat with their draft Compliance Monitoring Report (dCMR). Where a CCM cannot complete an investigation prior to the Technical and Compliance Committee (TCC), that CCM shall provide a Status Report to the Secretariat with the dCMR. Where the TCC does not consider that progress has been made against a Capacity Development Plan or a Status Report that CCM shall be assessed for that obligation in accordance with Annex I.
