At Tuesday's parliamentary session, Mark Spencer, the Minister for Food, Farming, and Fisheries, introduced draft regulations aimed at amending the Sea Fisheries (International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas) regulations for 2024.
During the session, Spencer highlighted the importance of the UK’s membership in ICCAT and its commitment to sustainable management of tuna and tuna-like species in the Atlantic Ocean. He emphasized the need for the UK to implement and enforce binding measures agreed upon by ICCAT members to ensure sustainable fishing practices.
The proposed amendments include various changes to existing regulations to align with ICCAT recommendations and reflect the UK’s status as an independent coastal state. For instance, provisions related to the farming of bluefin tuna, which are not relevant to the UK, have been removed from the regulations.
Additionally, amendments aim to update regulations regarding the import and export of swordfish and bigeye tuna to comply with ICCAT requirements. The use of an electronic catch documentation system for bluefin tuna is also mandated to enhance traceability and enforceability of regulations.[...]
Taipei - Taiwan and Japan will hold their latest round of meetings regarding resolving fishing disputes from Thursday to Sunday in Taipei.
The 10th meeting of the Taiwan-Japan Fishery Committee will discuss and potentially update fishing regulations to help resolve frequent disputes between Taiwanese and Japanese fishers, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) said in a press release.
Such issues tend to arise due to the overlapping of both countries' exclusive economic zones (EEZ) in the East China Sea, the release added.
This year's meeting will again be convened by the Taiwan-Japan Relations Association, a MOFA-related organization that manages Japan's affairs in Taiwan, and the Japan-Taiwan Exchange Association, the de-facto Japanese embassy in Taiwan in the absence of diplomatic ties.
MOFA did not specify who would be in attendance, but normally officials from both countries' fisheries agencies and coast guards are present.
The Taiwan-Japan Fishery Committee was founded following the signing of the Taiwan-Japan Fisheries Agreement on April 10, 2013 to help resolve fishing-related disputes in the East China Sea.
The committee has met nine times overall, with Tokyo and Taipei taking turns to host.
