"I welcomed the conclusion of this agreement. Fishing activity in the South Pacific has, until now, been managed by the two Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs): the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Convention (IATTC) and the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC). Since the objective of both is to manage highly migratory species, the fishing of other types of resources in this vast area has been unregulated, other than in the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of coastal states that applied their own rules. To fill this gap, and given that there is fishing activity both in the EEZ and in the high seas, in 2006, the governments of Australia, Chile and New Zealand decided to launch a process of international consultations on the establishment of the South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO), with the aim of cooperating to address the gap in the management and conservation of non-highly migratory species and the protection of biodiversity in the high seas areas of the South Pacific, in a manner consistent with international law and following best practice. The EU has taken part in this process from the outset and has made some important achievements, and we must therefore now create the conditions for the EU to ratify the convention and work actively in all fora, both international and bilateral, and call on countries with fishing fleets in the region covered by the convention to sign, ratify and implement it in order to speed up its entry into force."@en1
