"Fishing activity in the South Pacific has, until now, been managed by the two Regional Fisheries Management Organisations: the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Convention (IATTC) and the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC). Since the objective of both, however, is to manage highly migratory species, the fishing of other types of resources in this vast area was unregulated, other than in the exclusive economic zones of coastal states that applied their own rules. To fill this gap, a decision was taken in 2006 to launch a process of international consultations on the establishment of the South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO), with the aim of cooperating in addressing the gap in the management and protection of biodiversity in the high seas areas of the South Pacific. The text of the convention was finally agreed in November 2009 and opened for signature on 1 February 2010.
The EU signed on 26 July 2010 in accordance with the Council decision thereon of 24 July 2010. The convention is now in the process of ratification by the parties and the purpose of this legislative act is to allow ratification by the EU through a draft Council decision. In my opinion, the European Union should be present in all regional organisations for managing fisheries also in order to ensure that there is no let-up in its effort to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing."@en1
