35. WCPFC6 approved the application for renewal of CNM status by Senegal with the following participatory rights: Ecuador Senegal‘s fishing activities in the Convention Area are limited to one unique longline vessel (the Robaliera), which was fishing in the Convention Area in 2005. Noting the concern regarding the species composition of the catches reported by Senegal in WCPFC6-2009/09 (Rev. 1), WCPFC6 tasked the Secretariat to examine the very high catches of skipjack reported by the Robaliera in 2006, and inconsistent ratios of reported swordfish to shark catches. In addition, and, in in light of any new information received, the Secretariat will calculate the swordfish catch limits that would apply to Senegal pursuant to the swordfish measure (CMM 2009-03) and will be circulated to all CCMs. 36. With regard to the CNM application by Ecuador, the USA indicated that it was prepared to accept it, but noted that Ecuador has been implicated in a number of illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing incidents in recent years. Ecuador‘s record in this regard will be carefully monitored and scrutinized again at WCPFC7. 37. Kiribati noted that in agreeing to the participatory right granted to Ecuador, it did not recognize the limits placed on Ecuador as any basis for limiting the number of licenses Kiribati issues for fishing in its EEZ. 38. WCPFC6 approved the application for CNM status by Ecuador with the following participatory rights: At the time of making the decision, WCPFC6 had not received sufficient data to be able to confirm an applicable purse-seine days limit for Ecuador for the high seas for 2010. Consequently, Ecuador will be limited to zero days during 2010. WCPFC6 noted that as soon as Ecuador provides to the Commission all relevant catch and effort data that would enable the WCPFC Secretariat to calculate and verify an applicable vessel-days limit pursuant to CMM 2008-01 for yellowfin and bigeye tunas, this limit will be appropriately adjusted and circulated to all CCMs. WCPFC6 agreed to the following conditions for acceptance of Ecuador‘s CNM status: a. Participatory rights are limited to no more than ten unique vessels that shall operate exclusively in waters under the jurisdiction of the coastal States from which they receive licenses. b. All vessels will be equipped with Commission and FFA vessel monitoring system (VMS), which shall be operational at all times while the vessels are in the Convention Area. c. The Government of Ecuador provides assurances that it will comply with all requests from Commission Members for information and documentation to investigate cases of possible illegal fishing. 39. Ecuador thanked the Commission for its favorable consideration of its application. 6
Vietnam 40. Vietnam made a statement reaffirming the commitments to the Commission made in its written statements, including its acquiescence to data provision, high seas boarding and inspection (HSBI), and participation in the Commission‘s WPEA OFM Project. Vietnam also stated its desire, as a coastal developing State, to receive an allocation of fishing opportunities. 41. In response to a question, the Executive Director noted that Vietnam catches between 30,000 mt and 40,000 mt of yellowfin and bigeye tuna per year in its coastal waters but reports no catch on the high seas of the Convention Area. 42. The EU explained that a shipment of swordfish from Vietnam was barred from import to the EU on the grounds that Vietnam was not a member of the WCPFC. Once Vietnam articulated to the EU a commitment to join the WCPFC, the shipment was cleared for import. The EU stated its view that Vietnam‘s fishery has an important effect on WCPFC-managed stocks, and thus it considers that Vietnam is an important collaborator. 43. Concerns were expressed by several CCMs regarding Vietnam‘s stated aspirations to obtain an allocation for fishing rights within the WCPF Convention Area. One CCM stated that because Vietnam‘s coastal waters in the South China Sea do not fall within the boundary of the WCPF Convention Area, its catch there does not qualify as historic catch in the WCPF Convention Area. 44. WCPFC6 approved the application for CNM status by Vietnam with the following participatory rights: Noting the need for cooperation between Vietnam and the Commission to achieve compatibility of fisheries management and conservation, WCPFC6 agreed to grant CNM status to Vietnam for 2010 on the understanding that CNM status would only relate to the acquisition and exchange of fishery information and data and that Vietnam would require assistance in that regard. 45. It was clarified that Vietnam would not be allowed to place vessels on the WCPFC‘s Record of Fishing Vessels. 46. Vietnam thanked the Commission for its favorable consideration of its application, reiterating that Vietnam will not have any fishing operations in the WCPFC Convention Area during 2010 (Attachment O). 47. Many Members considered that CNMs who do not make a monetary contribution to the work of the Commission, but who gain financially from the fisheries of the Convention Area, are in effect ―free riders‖. Several Members considered that CNMs should contribute in proportion to the benefits they receive, with some of these suggesting that CNMs contribute in equal proportion to Members of the Commission. Many of these Members noted with concern the expanding budget for Commission work, and the increasing burden this is placing on small island developing States (SIDS), as creating even more urgency for equitable cost sharing. 48. Other CCMs supported the current situation of encouraging CNMs to make voluntary contributions, citing in particular the fact that CNMs do not have full participatory rights. These CCMs expressed concerns about setting a precedent in other regional fisheries management organizations. 7
