Full Text
CCMs shall take necessary measures to ensure that the level of purse seine fishing effort in days fished (footnote 2) by their vessels in areas of the high seas does not exceed 2004 levels or the average of 2001-2004. In accordance with paragraph 6 this Measure, this paragraph shall not apply to small developing state members and participating territories.
footnote 2: In the case of small developing fleets, of four vessels or less, that legitimately entered the fishery after 2000 but before 2004, the baseline level of effort shall be a year in the period 2001-2004 in which its full vessel complement was active in the fishery.
