ICCAT REPORT 2002-2003 (II)
8. In order for the Commission to recommend the lifting of the identification status or of the trade restrictive
measures, the Compliance Committee and/or the PWG should review annually whether the situation leading
to the identification and/or the trade restrictive measure has been rectified by the CPC or NCP. Such
decision should also take into consideration whether the achieved improvement will be properly maintained
in the future by taking concrete actions.
[9. When the Compliance Committee and/or the PWG identifies that the CPC or NCP from which trade
restrictive measures have been lifted, again diminishes the effectiveness of ICCAT conservation and
management measures in the same manner as when the trade restrictive measures were previously taken for
that CPC or NCP, the Commission should decide on appropriate action in accordance with paragraph 6
above. Before ma king this decision, the Commission should request the CPC or NCP concerned to present
its explanation on its fishing activities.]
[C. The procedures described in the section B above should, mutatis mutandis, be applied to the consideration of
measures against non-Contracting Parties under the Bluefin tuna and Swordfish Action Plan Resolutions.]
