The sixth session of the Multilateral High-Level Conference on the conservation and management of highly migratory fish stocks in the western and central Pacific was held at Honolulu, Hawai’i from 11 to 19 April 2000. The Conference was attended by representatives from Australia, Canada, China, Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, France, French Polynesia, Indonesia, Japan, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Republic of Korea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Chinese Taipei, Tonga, Tuvalu, United States of America, Vanuatu and Wallis and Futuna. Observers from Mexico, the European Commission (EC), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Forum Secretariat, the South Pacific Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA), the Inter American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC), the Pacific Islands Development Programme, the Pacific Community (PC), the South Pacific Regional Environment Programme, the Global Environment Facility/United Nations Development Programme and the University of the South Pacific (USP) attended the Conference. The list of participants is attached as Annex 1. 2. The Conference was opened by prayers and a traditional Hawai’ian chant. The leader of the United States delegation, Mr. Tucker Scully, welcomed participants to the State of Hawai’i. 3. In his opening remarks, attached as Annex 2, the Chairman of the Conference, Ambassador Satya N. Nandan (Fiji), reminded participants that the mandate of the Conference, as reflected in the Majuro Declaration of 1997, was to negotiate a mechanism for the conservation and management of highly migratory fish stocks of the region by June 2000. The Chairman recalled that that mandate had been endorsed by the South Pacific Forum at the level of Heads of Government in 1997 and had been reaffirmed at successive meetings of the Forum, most recently in 1999. The Chairman further noted that, since the fifth session, he had circulated, under symbol MHLC/WP.3, a draft proposal relating to an interim regime covering the period between adoption of the Convention and its entry into force and this would be taken up by the Conference during the present session. 4. Statements were made by the representatives of Canada, China, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, French Polynesia, Japan, Kiribati, Korea, Marshall Islands, Nauru, New Caledonia, New Zealand, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Solomon Islands, Chinese Taipei, Tuvalu, United States of America and Vanuatu. Statements were made by the observers from the European Community, Mexico and IATTC. Statements made by delegations and observers are attached as Annex 3. 5. The Conference considered a request for observer status by Ecuador. Following consultations between delegations, the Conference agreed that requests for observer status by States may be considered provided it is understood that such observer status shall not be treated as an entitlement to become a party to the Convention nor shall it be used as a basis to justify future participation in the Commission or as a basis to seek a future allocation. Subject to the approval of the Conference, observers may be permitted to make statements of a general nature on matters of interest to them and to circulate written submissions. 6. With respect to the request by Ecuador, the Conference agreed that the request by Ecuador for observer status in the Conference would be allowed on the basis that Ecuador is a State with a Pacific coastline with fishing interests in respect of the same stocks in an area adjacent to the proposed Convention Area. 7. The Conference considered the draft Convention on the Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the Western and Central Pacific prepared by the Chairman at the end 2 of the fifth session (MHLC/WP.1/Rev.4 dated 16 September 1999). The draft Convention was discussed in the light of the issues contained in an information note prepared by the Chairman and circulated to all participants in February 2000, and in the light of other issues identified by the participants. The information note is attached as Annex 4. To facilitate its work, the Conference established an informal group under the chairmanship of Mr. Grant Bryden (New Zealand) to consider issues relating to financial and budgetary matters. The group carried out its work on the basis of an information paper prepared by the representative of FAO (MHLC/INF.2/Rev.2). In addition, the Conference established another informal group, chaired by Mr. Feleti Teo (Tuvalu) to consider issues relating to the proposed regional observer programme. 8. Following the discussions, and the outcome of the deliberations in the informal groups, the Chairman introduced a draft proposal for consideration of the Conference under the heading “Draft proposal by the Chairman” dated 17 April 2000. The Conference considered the Chairman’s draft proposal on 17 and 18 April 2000. Following the discussions, the Chairman further refined his proposal and issued a revised document on 19 April 2000 under the heading “Proposal by the Chairman”. The proposal by the Chairman of 19 April 2000 is attached as Annex 5. 9. The Conference also considered the draft proposal by the Chairman relating to the establishment of a Preparatory Commission, with a mandate to make recommendations on the implementation of specific aspects of the Convention and to address the institutional and administrative issues necessary to ensure a smooth transition to the Convention regime upon entry into force of the Convention (MHLC/WP.3). Following discussion of the interim regime in plenary, the chairman issued a revision of document MHLC/WP.3, which was considered further in informal meetings. As a result of the discussions, the Chairman further refined his proposal and, on 19 April 2000, issued a revised document under symbol MHLC/WP.3/Rev.2. The revised proposal is attached as Annex 6. 10. The Chairman delivered a closing statement outlining the progress that had been made during the session and noting the issues which remained to be addressed prior to the final session of the Conference. The Chairman’s closing statement is attached as Annex 7. 11. With respect to the future programme of work, the Chairman noted that the final session of the Conference will take place in Nadi, Fiji Islands from 30 August to 5 September 2000. It will take the form of a three-day meeting of officials to finalize the Convention text and the resolution establishing the Preparatory Conference, as well as the Final Act of the Conference and related institutional and administrative issues for the continuation of the process. This will be followed by a two-day ministerial level meeting during which the Convention will be opened for signature. 12. The Conference was adjourned on 19 April 2000. - - - 3 Annex 1 LIST OF PARTICIPANTS Australia Fiji Michael Bliss Ken Cokanasiga Peter Cassells Lisa Stone Mark Gray Robert Stone Neil Hughes Tania Tagicakibau Hans Jusseit Saimone Tuilaucala Mary Lack Geoff Miller France Joe Thwaites Philippe Courrouyan Peter Ward Xavier Dupont Anna Willock Daniel Silvestre Serge Segura Canada Sandy Argue French Polynesia Nadia Bouffard Alexandre Ata Walter Cadwallader Guy Besnard Ivan Ellingsen Charles Daxboeck Lynne Ellingsen Alain Moyrand Joe Graceffo Bud Graham Indonesia Debbie Kay Hasjim Djalal Ron Kay Benny Mandalika Dave Keeling Dr. Purwanto Thomas Okuma Erling Olsen Japan Allison Saunders Kikuo Chiyo Bob Smith Yoshio Ishizuka Howard Strauss Yoshiaki Ito Larry Teague Kenji Kagawa Linda Teague Kimio Kawasaki Diana Trager Shigeru Kuramochi Kaoru Kurosawa China Shojiro Maki Mr. Li Jianhua Daishiro Nagahata Mr. Zheng Kang Masaaki Nakamura Mr. Chen Ligang Shuya Nakatsuka Mr. Zhao Liling Teiji Ohno Mr. Peng Rongtao Junichiro Okamoto Mr. Liu Xiaobing Eiko Ozaki Ms. Wang Xiaodu Tatsuo Saito Mr. Zhang Xiaoli Michio Shimizu Ryuichi Tanabe Cook Islands Ian Bertram Kiribati Carl Hunter Johnny Kirata Siai Maiava Kaburoro Ruaia Joshua Mitchell Emile Schutz Robert Worthington Tetoaiti Tabokai Rimeta Tinga Federated States of Micronesia Robert Gillett Elizabeth McCormick Lorin Robert Bernard Thoulag 4 Annex 1 Republic of Korea Papua New Guinea Chang-Myeng Byen Lucy B.

  • L'extension Du Plateau Continental Au-Delà Des 200 Milles Marins : Un Atout Pour La France
    LES AVIS DU CONSEIL LES AVIS ÉCONOMIQUE, DU CONSEIL SOCIAL ET ÉCONOMIQUE, ENVIRONNEMENTAL SOCIAL ET ENVIRONNEMENTAL La Convention de Montego Bay de 1982, « véritable constitution des océans », et plus précisément son article 76, donne aux pays côtiers la possibilité d’étendre leur plateau continental au-delà des 200 milles marins. Ainsi, la France grâce aux outre-mer peut espérer étendre ses droits souverains sur les ressources naturelles du sol et du sous-sol marins sur près de deux millions de km2. L’avis du CESE vise à finaliser le programme intitulé EXTRAPLAC dont s’est dotée la France pour L’extension du plateau atteindre cet objectif. Il vise aussi à tirer les conséquences de l’acquisition de ces droits souverains en termes de connaissance de l’environnement marin et de ses ressources ; de leur préservation continental au-delà et de leur exploitation ; d’encadrement juridique des activités mises œuvre et d’implication des territoires ultramarins dans le cadre de leur développement durable. des 200 milles marins : Le CESE recommande que soit définie une véritable politique maritime digne d’un pays présent un atout pour la France sur tous les océans grâce aux Outre-mer. L’extension du plateau continental au-delà des 200 milles marins est un atout considérable que la France ne peut négliger.
