Proposal for a new Conservation and Management Measure for minimum standards for the collection, reporting, verification and exchange of data in NPFC

This working paper proposes a new Conservation and Management Measure to establish standards for the collection, reporting, verification and exchange of data in NPFC.

Rev. 1 includes a new preambular paragraph clarifying that the CMM addresses not only essential scientific information but also compliance-related information. It incorporates suggestions submitted by Japan on the main text (reflected in track changes and highlighted in yellow), as well as comments from Chinese Taipei on Annex 5 (Minimum standards for data to be recorded for stick-held dip net fishing activities).

Rev 2 includes a change in row 1 of Annex 5. As background information to TCC, in Annexes we highlighted in yellow fields adding comments received from SC/SWG Data.
