5th Update and Stakeholder Consultation on Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing Session 2 The new EU regulation on IUU fishing A NGO perspective ¨C Sebasti¨¢n Losada,  Greenpeace 15 October 2009, Chatham House, London
High levels of IUU fishing More than 8 years after the FAO IPOA on IUU was adopted Insufficient measures by RFOs It is estimated that between 11-19% of the world fish catches originate from IUU activities Overcapacity and diminishing fish resources exacerbate the problem ¨C very little progress has been made in addressing the overcapacity problem
Main loopholes Transshipments, lack of controls over non-fishing vessels Flag State performance Weak port controls, granting of port services other than offloading fish Measures against vessels but not against nationals or companies Insufficient communication between governments and organizations Lack of political will
Some recent positive steps A new FAO agreement on Port Control... still to be formally adopted and ratified The new EU regulation on IUU fishing will enter into force next January 2010 On the negative side... Compliance with UNGA Resolution 61/105 very poor... the unregulated 'U'
The EU Regulation on IUU fishing On paper, one of the highest standards worldwide at the moment Scope Port control and denial of port services Traceability Transhipments ban Sanctions Risk management Community alert system

EU ports... hopefully in the past
Dealing with nationals: little progress Dealt with at the Member States level Need to involve Departments other than purely fisheries Transparency and access to information
The case of Vidal Armadores Operating in the Southern Ocean in the late 90's The Camouco ¨C Arvisa I ¨C Eternal The hot pursuit of the Viarsa I Still operating a fleet today
Vidal Armadores A network of legal and illegal vessels
The Paloma V A joint venture in Namibia International network of companies Clear links back to Spain... no action so far
The Galaecia Spanish nationals involved... no action so far
The Galaecia Complaints at CCMLAR about a license for experimental fishing Solved by moving the ship to the IOTC area in 2006 and 2007
Vidal Armadores A charter agreement was negotiated for the company in the ICCAT Convention Area in 2008
Give back the money!
In summary The EU IUU Regulation has possibility to greatly strengthen the fight against IUU fishing Implementation not yet completed: regular checks and assessments of standards and monitoring of practical application are needed - the devil is in the detail Regional cooperation between developing States should be supported EU IUU activities should be appropriately sanctioned, at sea monitoring needs to be improved and loopholes must be closed (adoption of Control Regulation) Very little has been done yet in relation to EU nationals involved in IUU fishing
Some next steps Completion and ratification of the PSA Global record of fishing and fishing related vessels Assessment of flag State performance Serious actions against nationals ADDRESS OVERCAPACITY!
