 Highlights for Friday, 12 February 2010
On Friday morning, delegates discussed the draft conservation plan for migratory sharks. Delegates agreed that they would not be able to conclude on the conservation plan at this meeting. Chair Hogan offered to coordinate the interim drafting process and highlighted the benefit of active engagement of all delegations. Some states expressed concern about how the Conservation Plan would be agreed upon, in case they did not become Signatories to the MoU. Chair Hogan highlighted that comments from Signatories and non-Signatories would be considered in the drafting process.
The UK noted the need to discuss the number of range-state signatories required before the MoU commences. Delegates agreed that the MoU will commence on the first day of the month following the month on which there are at least 10 range state signatories
On Friday afternoon, delegates re-examined the MoU, paragraph-by-paragraph, to ensure that all viewpoints were adequately represented. Some delegates expressed concern with the prescriptive use of "shall" in various section of the document.
At 6:35pm, the Memorandum of Understanding on Migratory Sharks was opened for signature. The Philippines, Senegal, Togo, US, Republic of Congo, Costa Rica, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia and Palau signed and the MoU will commence on the first day of March 2010.
Chair Lim closed the meeting at 6:47pm.
