RoO Derogati<strong>on</strong> under <strong>the</strong> PACP-IEPA<br />
Size compositi<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> catch, by species, al<strong>on</strong>g with many o<strong>the</strong>r details for <strong>the</strong> PNG fishery, is<br />
summarized in a recent comprehensive SPC review. 25 In additi<strong>on</strong>, NFA has been c<strong>on</strong>ducting an intensive<br />
port sampling programme at <strong>the</strong> main unloading points <strong>to</strong> document <strong>the</strong> size and species compositi<strong>on</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> catch for management purposes since 2009.<br />
Market destinati<strong>on</strong>s<br />
Table 3.5 summarizes <strong>the</strong> market destinati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> tuna by product type taken by <strong>the</strong> various categories <strong>of</strong><br />
vessels fishing in PNG waters. This serves <strong>to</strong> dem<strong>on</strong>strate that almost all fish currently being processed<br />
and exported by PNG’s three existing processing facilities originates from PNG-flag and small-medium<br />
charter vessels which have access <strong>to</strong> PNG’s AW. Hence, catches would au<strong>to</strong>matically be c<strong>on</strong>sidered<br />
‘wholly obtained’ <strong>on</strong> <strong>the</strong> basis <strong>of</strong> EU standard RoO.<br />
It should be noted that exports <strong>of</strong> frozen whole round fish by large chartered vessels (which are<br />
c<strong>on</strong>sidered <strong>to</strong> be part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> PNG fleet) transhipped in PNG ports are not currently regarded as exports<br />
<strong>of</strong> PNG.<br />
26 Similarly, fish caught by foreign access vessels which take much <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir catch in PNG waters<br />
and transhipped in PNG ports for export is not regarded as exports <strong>of</strong> PNG. 27<br />
