FEEDBACK REGARDING COMPLIANCE ISSUES

PAKISTAN:

SUBJECT: Outstanding compliance issues

During the 12th Session of the IOTC Compliance Committee, held on the 20 to 22 April 2015, Busan, Republic of

Korea, Contracting Parties, and Cooperating non-Contracting Parties (CPCs) were individually assessed for their

respective compliance with IOTC conservation and management measures and their reporting requirements. Based on

the CPC presentations, and the examination of the Country Report on Compliance, the National Reports of

Implementation, and the reports of the Compliance Committee and the Scientific Committee, the Committee noted

substantial variation in the degree of compliance by the CPCs. The Chair of the Commission was requested to write to

the Heads of Delegation informing them of their non-compliance issues.

Specifically, the Compliance Committee noted the following in respect of PAKISTAN:

The CoC EXPRESSED its disappointment that Pakistan was not present at the CoC12 meeting and agreed that its

absence compromised the ability of the CoC to understand the compliance situation in Pakistan.

The following non-compliance issues were identified in the 2015 compliance report::

General lack of compliance with IOTC measures and response from Pakistan.

If you have any comments on the issues raised in this letter or additional information, we would invite you to provide

these in writing to the Secretary of the Commission as soon as possible. Thank you for your attention to this important

matter.

Please accept the assurances of my highest consideration.
