Impending Ec Regulation On Iuu Fishing Looms Large Over Industry, Jo-Anne Mccrea, Quentin Hanich, Ben Tsamenyi

Professor Ben M Tsamenyi

It is suggested that a new regulation scheduled to be implemented by the European Union at the beginning of 2010 in an effort to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing is likely to have a profound impact on fishing and processing operations worldwide. The IUU Regulation regulates seafood imports to all EU member states and imposes specific requirements on any fishing or processing activity that intends to export into an EU member state. The broad application of the regulation, the power of member states in the implementation of the regulation, and the consequences of non-compliance, are discussed.

Report On 'Equivalency' Under The Iuu Regulation 1005/2008, Jo-Anne Mccrea, Quentin Hanich, Martin Tsamenyi

Professor Ben M Tsamenyi

This report has been prepared for the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) to assist in the preparation of a submission to the European Commission regarding the application of its IUU Regulation 1005/2008 to Australia. The draft report provides information to support the Australian position that the current systems are equivalent, in terms of their ability to manage IUU fishing, to those applied under the IUU Regulation.

Discussion Paper: Australia's Ability To Meet The Requirements Of European Commission Regulation No. 1005/2008 'Establishing A Community System To Prevent, Deter And Eliminate Illegal, Unreported And Unregulated Fishing, Jo-Anne Mccrea, Quentin Hanich, Martin Tsamenyi

Professor Ben M Tsamenyi

On 29 September 2008, the European Commission (EC) passed Regulation 1005/2008 ‘establishing a Community system to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing’ (the EC IUU Regulation). The Regulation will come into force on 1 January 2010. The Regulation has the following major implications for the Australian seafood export industry: a. All consignments of wild caught fish and fish product (with exceptions) will be prohibited from being imported into European Union Member States, unless a catch certificate accompanies them. The catch certificate must contains the harvest details of the fish (e.g. vessel and master’s name and number, fishing …

Professor Ben M Tsamenyi

On 29 September 2008, the Council of the European Union (EU) adopted Council Regulation (EC) No. 1005/2008 establishing a Community system to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fi shing. Essentially, the EU IUU Regulation establishes a framework in which access to EU markets for fi sheries products is partly conditioned by the extent to which a country, area or region of origin is demonstrably or increasingly free of IUU fi shing. Aside from the amendments to US legislation in 2007, the EU IUU Regulation is the only other domestic legislative measure adopted solely to combat IUU …

Compliance Review: A Study Undertaken To Support The Development Of A Regional Mcs Strategy For Pacific Oceanic Fisheries, Quentin A. Hanich, Colin Brown, Ben M. Tsamenyi, Marcel Kroese, Duncan Soutar, Christian Mcdonald

Professor Ben M Tsamenyi

The achievement of FFA members’ regional goals for their tuna fisheries depends heavily upon the effective implementation by national governments of a comprehensive range of MCS measures. In support of this, FFA members have established various regional MCS measures that provide a framework to enable effective management and control of the region’s tuna fisheries. However, problematic implementation at the national level continues to undermine the ability of FFA members and the secretariat to fully implement these initiatives and effectively monitor and control the region’s tuna fisheries, thereby threatening their returns. While some FFA members have developed strong MCS systems with …

Exclusive Economic Zones And Pacific Developing Island States - Who Really Gets All The Fish?, Quentin A. Hanich, Ben M. Tsamenyi Mar 2013

Exclusive Economic Zones And Pacific Developing Island States - Who Really Gets All The Fish?, Quentin A. Hanich, Ben M. Tsamenyi

Professor Ben M Tsamenyi

The establishment of exclusive economic zones (EEZs), through the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC), changed the allocation of fishing rights. These zones allocated all fishing rights within 200 nautical miles of land to neighbouring coastal States. This change dramatically increased sovereign rights for Pacific small island States. In many cases, these States, with limited terrestrial resources, were allocated large resource rich EEZs that had previously been dominated by distant water fishing States. Distant water fishing States, concerned that they would lose access to 85-90% of the world's active fishing grounds, argued that the LOSC …
