Objective:
Special Session of the Compliance Committee
The Compliance Committee in 2026 (CoC23) has called for this Special Session in 2027. The two days session is required to review the CPCs’ Compliance Reports.
IOTC-2026-COC23-R Paragraph 157. The CoC23 AGREED to limit the Special Session’s discussions to CPCs’ Compliance Reports and that the date of the meeting be defined taking into consideration the dates of other IOTC meetings and other RFMOs’ meetings.
As this is a credentialled meeting, no online registration has been made available. Meeting invitations will be sent to participants who are included in official lists of credentials provided to the Secretariat.
Deadlines:
Meeting Participation Fund The participation of one representative from developing Members of the IOTC to meetings will be supported through the IOTC Meeting Participation Fund (MPF). •Applications to participate in the CoC, SCAF and Commission meetings respectively must be received by the IOTC Secretariat (iotc-secretariat@fao.org) no later than 60 days in advance of the meeting.
Given the limitations of the MPF budget it is proposed that eligible Members nominate one person to attend all four meetings. The rules of procedure for the administration of the MPF as well as guidelines for applying to the MPF can be found in Appendix VIII of the IOTC Rules of Procedure. Please be reminded that there is no provision in these rules for the IOTC Secretariat to consider late applications to the MPF.
