Résumé

This Recommendation establishes minimum standards for the conduct of inspections in ports. Port states wishing to permit entry to their ports by foreign fishing vessels which fish for species covered by CCSBT shall designate ports for this purpose. The Secretariat of CCSBT shall keep the list of designated ports and port State contact points. Advance port notification is required from vessels wishing to land or tranship their catch in designated ports. Contracting Parties and Cooperating Non-Contracting Parties (CPCs) are required to inspect at least five percent of all landing and transhipment operations of foreign fishing vessels. Where an alleged infringement is found and the CPC has jurisdiction, it may take action under its domestic laws and advise the flag State and Secretariat. Otherwise the infringement is referred to the flag State and, if relevant, the coastal State. The flag State must promptly investigate and notify the Secretariat within six months of receipt of inspection report of the status of the investigation. CPCs are to give full recognition to the special requirements of developing CPCs, including to ensure that a disproportionate burden is not unnecessarily transferred to them. CPCs are encouraged to enter into cooperative arrangements for exchange of port inspectors, or observation of inspections.
