Résumé

This Circular of the WCPFC Chair states the endorsement of the Commission of suspension until 31 May 2020 of measures regarding transshipment observers (requirements in paragraph 13 of CMM 2009-06). Paragraphs 14, 15 and 16 of CMM 2009-06 will be also suspended during the same period when a vessel is not carrying an observer. Concerned flag CCMs shall indicate, when they send the Transhipment Declaration referred to in paragraph 35(iv) of CMM 2009-06 to the Executive Director, whether the particular at-sea transhipment had occurred under this temporary suspension. CCMs shall ensure that their vessels comply with all other binding requirements established under the Convention and Commission decisions using all MCS tools available, including but not limited to verification of catch and effort and logbook data, VMS and AIS (when available) monitoring and examination of other relevant information such as landing and transhipment data. CCMs whose vessels are subject to this temporary arrangement are encouraged, to the extent practicable and in accordance with their domestic rules and regulations, to implement additional MCS measures and to follow-up these transhipments through inspection or observation or monitor these transhipments electronically if available during the application of the arrangements In doing so, the requirements of a coastal State are to be adhered to by all vessels within that coastal State’s jurisdiction.
