21st Regular Session of the Technical and Compliance Committee

Agenda Item 5.6 Review and assess paragraph 37 of CMM 2009-06

Annotation

WCPFC21 tasks TCC, commencing in 2025, to use TCC20-2024-DP07 as a reference to continue the work required to strengthen the transshipment measure.

The TCC Workplan 2025-2027 also notes that TCC20-DP-07 had been proposed by PNA+ to provide a framework that TCC could use for the assessment of compliance with paragraph 37 of CMM 2009-06, relating to the determination of circumstances where it is impracticable for certain vessels to tranship or land fish at feasible and allowable locations other than on the high seas, as compared to total operating costs, net revenues, or some other meaningful measure of costs and/or revenues.

Papers by TCC participants would be welcomed.
