22nd Regular Session of the Commission
Agenda Item 13 Compliance Monitoring
The Commission will consider outcomes from TCC21 related to WCPFC’s monitoring and evaluation framework, including but not limited to:
i. Ongoing refinement and development of Audit Points for the Compliance Monitoring Scheme.
ii. Development of a sub-sampling approach relating to information in the Compliance Case File System (CCFS).
iii. List of obligations to be assessed under the CMS in 2026 for the 2025 reporting year.
The Commission will consider the provisional CMR recommended by TCC21, taking into account additional information that may be provided by CCMs. A small working group is expected to be established to consider the provisional CMR and compile a final CMR for consideration and adoption by the Commission at WCPFC22.
The Commission may wish to consider tasking a small working group to progress other CMS-related outcomes from TCC21 in the margins of WCPFC22, also noting that the CMS CMM is expiring in December 2026.
