Résumé

This Resolution of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), requires Contracting Parties, Cooperating non-Contracting Parties, Entities or Fishing Entities to ensure that large-scale tuna longline vessels under their registry do not carry out illegal, unregulated and unreported (IUU) fishing activities in the Convention Area and other areas (e.g. by means of denying such vessels a license to fish). The Contracting Parties, Cooperating Non-Contracting Parties, Entities or Fishing Entities shall also take every possible action, consistent with the relevant laws: To urge their importers, transporters and other concerned business people to refrain from engaging in transaction and transshipment of tunas and tuna-like species caught by vessels carrying out IUU fishing activities in the Convention Area and other areas; ii to inform their general public of IUU activities by tuna longline vessels which diminish the effectiveness of ICCAT conservation and management measures and urge them not to purchase fish harvested by such vessels, and iii to urge their manufacturers and other concerned business people to prevent their vessels and equipment/devices from being used for the IUU longline fishing operations in the Convention Area and other areas.
