		MTBrussel 20.7.2005KUMM(2005) 325 finali2005/0137 (CNS)Proposta għalDEĊIŻJONI TAL-KUNSILLdwar il-konklużjoni, f’isem il-Komunità Ewropea, tal-Konvenzjoni għat-Tisħiħ tal-Kummissjoni Inter-Amerikana għat-Tonn Tropikali stabbilita mill-Konvenzjoni ta’ l-1949 bejn l-Istati Uniti ta’ l-Amerika u r-Repubblika tal-Kosta Rika(preżentata mill-Kummissjoni)MEMORANDUM TA’ SPJEGAZZJONIIl-Kummissjoni Inter-Amerikana għat-Tonn Tropikali (IATTC – Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission) hija Organizzazzjoni Reġjonali tas-Sajd li ngħatat il-kompetentza mill-Partijiet Kontraenti tagħha sabiex tirregola s-sajd fl-Oċean Paċifiku tal-Lvant għal stokks ta’ ħut b’tendenza kbira li jpassi. Din l-Organizzazzjoni Reġjonali tas-Sajd ġiet stabbilita mill-Konvenzjoni ta' l-1949 bejn l-Istati Uniti ta' l-Amerika u r-Repubblika tal-Kosta Rika (minn hawn 'il quddiem "il-Konvenzjoni ta' l-1949"). Illum, il-membri ta’ l-IATTC jikkonsistu f’14-il Stat kostali jew li jwettaq attivitajiet ta’ sajd, b’interessi fir-reġjun: il-Kosta Rika, l-Ekwador, l-El Salvador, Franza f’isem it-territorji esteri tagħha ta’ Clipperton u l-Polineżja Franċiża, il-Gwatemala, il-Ġappun, il-Messiku, in-Nikaragwa, il-Perù, Spanja, l-Istati Uniti, il-Vanwatu u l-Venezwela.Il-Komunità ilha tipprattika s-sajd għat-tonn fl-Oċean Paċifiku tal-Lvant għal bosta snin. Preżentement, il-flotta tas-sajd għat-tonn ta' l-UE li qed topera fl-Oċean Paċifiku tal-Lvant tikkonsisti f’5 bastimenti tat-tartaruni li jistadu partikolarment għall-palamit u l-qabdiet tagħha laħqu l-31,000 Tunnellata Metrika fl-2002. Il-preżenza tagħha fir-reġjun teħtiġilha li tikkoopera ma’ Stati kostali jew li jwettqu attivitajiet ta’ sajd, Entitajiet jew Organizzazzjonijiet oħra interessati fil-konservazzjoni u l-ġestjoni ta’ l-istokks ta’ ħut b’tendenza kbira li jpassi li jaqgħa taħt il-kompetenza ta’ l-IATTC.Għaldaqstant, il-Komunità ssieħbet fil-Ftehim dwar il-Programm Internazzjonali għall-Konservazzjoni tad-Dniefel (AIDCP -). Il-Ftehim għandu l-għan tal-konservazzjoni effettiva ta' l-istokks tad-dniefel affettwati mis-sajd għat-tonn fl-Oċean Paċifiku tal-Lvant u t-tħaddim tiegħu ġie fdat f'idejn is-Segretarjat ta' l-IATTC. Fl-1999, il-Komunità ffirmat l-AIDCP (id-Deċiżjoni tal-Kunsill 1999/337/KE tas-26 ta’ April 1999) u sussegwentement iddeċidiet li tapplikah provviżorjament (id-Deċiżjoni tal-Kunsill 1999/386/KE tas-7 ta’ Ġunju 1999).Bil-maqlub għad-dispożizzjonijiet ta’ l-AIDCP, ir-regoli tal-Konvenzjoni ta’ l-1949 dwar l-adeżjoni ta’ membri ġodda huma limitati għal Stati u għalhekk ma jippermettux l-adeżjoni tal-Komunità ma’ l-IATTC taħt il-kundizzjonijiet attwali. Fid-dawl ta' l-interess stabbilit tal-Komunità fis-sajd soġġett għall-kompetenza ta’ l-IATTC, tnieda proċess biex tiġi emendata l-Konvenzjoni ta' l-1949 bl-adozzjoni tal-Protokoll ta’ Guayaquil fl-1999, li bih il-Konvenzjoni tinbidel sabiex Organizzazzjonijiet Reġjonali ta’ Integrazzjoni Ekonomika bħall-Komunità jkunu jistgħu jissieħbu ma’ din l-Organizzazzjoni Reġjonali tas-Sajd. Madankollu, id-dħul fis-seħħ tal-Protokoll kien mistenni li jkun proċess twil u diffiċli, u fil-fatt hekk ġara. Illum, il-Protokoll hu ffirmat minn 8 membri ta’ l-IATTC biss u rratifikat minn erbgħa minn dawn biss. Jidħol fis-seħħ biss wara li jkun ġie rratifikat mill-Partijiet kollha ta’ l-IATTC.Fid-dawl tat-tul ta’ dan il-proċess, il-Komunità qablet li tħalli lil Spanja, l-uniku Stat Membru li l-bastimenti tiegħu joperaw f’dik iż-Żona, li ssir Membru ta’ l-IATTC taħt il-kondizzjonijiet kurrenti tal-Konvenzjoni ta' l-1949. Id-Deċiżjoni tal-Kunsill 1999/405/KE tawtorizza l-adeżjoni ta’ Spanja fuq bażi temporanja u, minħabba “ċ-ċirkostanzi uniċi”, mingħajr ma jinħoloq l-ebda preċedent, jew tiġi affettwata l-kompetenza esklussiva tal-Komunità fi kwistjonijiet marbuta mas-sajd. Saħansitra taħt dan ir-reġim eċċezzjonali, Spanja ħadet sa l-2003 biex tirċievi n-‘nihil obstat’ mill-Membri l-oħra kollha ħalli tidħol fl-IATTC.Wieħed jista’ jargumenta li t-taħditiet li spiċċaw bl-adozzjoni tal-Protokoll ta’ Guayaquil, wasslu wkoll biex il-Partijiet Kontraenti ta’ l-IATTC jagħrfu l-ħtieġa li l-istatut ta’ l-Organizzazzjoni jiġi aġġornat ma’ l-iżviluppi riċenti fil-Liġi Internazzjonali tal-Baħar: il-Konvenzjoni tan-Nazzjonijiet Uniti dwar il-Liġi tal-Baħar ta’ l-1982, il-Ftehimiet implimentattivi tagħha, u l-Kodiċi ta’ Kondotta għal Sajd Responsabbli (adottat mill-Konferenza ta’ l-Organizzazzjoni ta’ l-Ikel u l-Agrikoltura fl-1995, inkluż il-Ftehim għall-Promozzjoni tal-Konformità tal-Bastimenti tas-Sajd ma’ Miżuri Internazzjonali ta’ Konservazzjoni u Ġestjoni fl-Ibħra Internazzjonali, ta’ l-1993).B’riżultat ta’ dan, l-IATTC adottat Riżoluzzjoni fl-1998 li nediet il-proċess ta’ l-abbozzar tat-test ta' Konvenzjoni IATTC ġdida li tieħu post dik ta’ l-1949. Wara 10 laqgħat tal-Grupp ta’ Ħidma maħluq għal dan il-għan, tlesta test ġdid tal-Konvenzjoni għall-adozzjoni mill-IATTC, li għamlet dan fis-70 laqgħa tagħha f’Antigua, il-Guatemala f’Ġunju 2003. Il-Konvenzjoni l-ġdida hi għalhekk magħrufa bħala “il-Konvenzjoni ta’ Antigua". Se tidħol fis-seħħ 15-il xahar wara d-depożitu tas-7 strument ta’ ratifika minn Parti Kontraenti attwali ta’ l-IATTC.Il-Konvenzjoni ta’ Antigua nfetħet għall-firem fl-14 ta’ Novembru fl-2003 f’Washington DC, l-Istati Uniti ta’ l-Amerka (id-Depożitarju), u baqgħet hekk sal-31 ta’ Diċembru 2004. It-test tagħha huwa awtentiku fi 3 lingwi: l-Ingliż, l-Ispanjol u l-Franċiż. Il-Komunità ffirmat il-Konvenzjoni fit-13 ta’ Diċembru 2004, f’konformità mad-Deċiżjoni adottata mill-Kunsill fil-25 ta' Ottubru 2004.Il-Komunità ġiet mistiedna mill-bidu sabiex tieħu sehem fl-abbozzar tal-Konvenzjoni ta’ Antigua u kkontribwiet b’mod attiv f’dan il-proċess. Partikolarment, il-Komunità ħadmet biex tassigura li t-test tal-Konvenzjoni l-ġdida jkun jinkludi d-dispożizzjonijiet meħtieġa li jippermettu l-IATTC li ssir Organizzazzjoni miftuħa; b’hekk kull parti b’interess reali tkun tista’ tissieħeb, skond l-Artikolu 8 tal-Ftehim ta' l-1995 tan-Nazzjonijiet Uniti dwar l-Istokks tal-Ħut. Dan l-għan intlaħaq. Il-Konvenzjoni ta’ Antigua hija test komprensiv li effettivament isaħħaħ l-IATTC u jassigura li din teżerċita r-responsabbiltajiet tagħha lejn il-konservazzjoni u l-ġestjoni effettivi ta’ stokks ta’ ħut b’tendenza kbira li jpassi fl-Oċean Paċifiku tal-Lvant skond il-prinċipji u l-istandards stipulati fil-Liġi tal-Baħar.L-adeżjoni ta’ Spanja ma’ l-IATTC ma taffettwax id-drittijiet tal-Komunità taħt il-liġi internazzjonali li tiffirma l-Konvenzjoni ta’ Antigua, minħabba li d-Deċiżjoni tal-Kunsill 1999/405/KE tapplika biss għall-Konvenzjoni ta’ l-1949. Skond id-Deċiżjoni, Spanja hi meħtieġa ttemm is-sħubija tagħha mal-Konvenzjoni ta’ l-1949 fid-data ta' l-adeżjoni tal-Komunità mal-Konvenzjoni. Billi jidher li l-Konvenzjoni ta' Antigua aktarx se tidħol fis-seħħ qabel ma l-Komunità tissieħeb mal-Konvenzjoni ta' l-1949, jinħtieġ li jsiru provvedimenti għad-denunċja tal-Konvenzjoni ta' l-1949 minn Spanja f'dawk iċ-ċirkostanzi, filwaqt li jitqies il-fatt li l-Komunità se tkun parti tal-Konvenzjoni ta' Antigua hekk kif din tidħol fis-seħħ. Dispożizzjoni b’dan il-għan hija inkluża mad-deċiżjoni mehmuża.Il-Komunità għandha għalhekk tkompli bil-konklużjoni tal-Konvenzjoni ta’ Antigua sabiex issir membru sħiħ ta’ l-IATTC, mingħajr preġudizzju għal dħul iktar kmieni taħt il-Konvenzjoni ta' l-1949 fil-każ li l-Protokoll ta’ Guayaquil jidħol fis-seħħ qabel il-Konvenzjoni ta' Antigua. Il-Kunsill huwa għalhekk mistieden jadotta d-Deċiżjoni mehmuża.2005/0137 (CNS)Proposta għalDEĊIŻJONI TAL-KUNSILLdwar il-konklużjoni, f’isem il-Komunità Ewropea, tal-Konvenzjoni għat-Tisħiħ tal-Kummissjoni Inter-Amerikana għat-Tonn Tropikali stabbilita mill-Konvenzjoni ta’ l-1949 bejn l-Istati Uniti ta’ l-Amerika u r-Repubblika tal-Kosta RikaIL-KUNSILL TA’ L-UNJONI EWROPEA,Wara li kkunsidra t-Trattat li jistabbilixxi l-Komunità Ewropea, u partikolarment l-Artikolu 37, flimkien ma' l-ewwel sentenza ta' l-ewwel sottoparagrafu ta' l-Artikolu 300(2), u l-ewwel sottoparagrafu ta' l-Artikolu 300(3) tiegħu,Wara li kkunsidra l-proposta mill-Kummissjoni [1],Wara li kkunsidra l-opinjoni tal-Parlament Ewropew,Billi:(1) Il-Komunità għandha kompetenza esklussiva li tadotta miżuri għall-konservazzjoni u l-ġestjoni tar-riżorsi tal-ħut u li tidħol fi ftehimiet ma’ pajjiżi u organizzazzjonijiet internazzjonali oħra.(2) Il-Komunità hija Parti Kontraenti tal-Konvenzjoni tan-Nazzjonijiet Uniti dwar il-Liġi tal-Baħar, li teħtieġ lill-membri kollha tal-komunità internazzjonali li jikkooperaw fil-konservazzjoni u l-ġestjoni tar-riżorsi bijoloġiċi tal-baħar.(3) Il-Komunità ffirmat il-Ftehim dwar l-implimentazzjoni tad-dispożizzjonijiet tal-Konvenzjoni tan-Nazzjonijiet Uniti dwar il-Liġi tal-Baħar fl-10 ta’ Diċembru 1982 marbuta mal-Konservazzjoni u l-Ġestjoni ta’ Stokks Komuni ta’ Ħut u Stokks ta’ Ħut b' Tendenza Kbira li Jpassi [2].(4) Il-Kummissjoni Inter-Amerikana għat-Tonn Tropikali (IATTC) ġiet stabbilita mill-Konvenzjoni bejn l-Istati Uniti ta’ l-Amerka u r-Repubblika tal-Kosta Rika, konkluża fl-1949. Matul il-61 Laqgħa tagħha f’Ġunju 1998, l-IATTC adottat Riżoluzzjoni li biha l-Partijiet Kontraenti ftiehmu li jfasslu Konvenzjoni ġdida biex issaħħaħ il-Kummissjoni u taġġorna l-istatut tagħha, f’konformità mad-dispożizzjonijiet tal-Liġi internazzjonali tal-Baħar.(5) Il-Komunità ġiet mistiedna tieħu sehem bis-sħiħ f’dan il-proċess mill-bidu, u kellha rwol attiv fih. Il-proċess intemm bl-adozzjoni tal-Konvenzjoni għat-Tisħiħ tal-Kummissjoni Inter-Amerikana għat-Tonn Tropikali stabbilita mill-Konvenzjoni ta’ l-1949 bejn l-Istati Uniti ta' l-Amerka u r-Repubblika tal-Kosta Rika (il-Konvenzjoni ta’ Antigua), fis-70 Laqgħa ta' l-IATTC, li saret mill-24 sa s-27 ta' Ġunju 2003 f'Antigua, il-Gwatemala.(6) Il-Konvenzjoni ta’ Antigua nfetħet għall-firem fl-14 ta’ Novembru fl-2003 f’Washington DC, l-Istati Uniti ta’ l-Amerka, u baqgħet hekk sal-31 ta’ Diċembru 2004, skond l-Artikolu XXVII tagħha.(7) Il-Komunità ffirmat il-Konvenzjoni fit-13 ta’ Diċembru 2004, f’konformità mad-Deċiżjoni adottata mill-Kunsill fil-25 ta' Ottubru 2004 [3].(8) Sajjieda Komunitarji jistadu fiż-Żona tal-Konvenzjoni. Għalhekk, huwa fl-interess tal-Komunità li tissieħeb mal-Kummissjoni Inter-Amerikana għat-Tonn Tropikali. Għaldaqstant, il-Komunità għandha tapprova l-Konvenzjoni ta’ Antigua.(9) Il-Konvenzjoni ta’ Antigua għandha l-għan li żżomm l-IATTC f’forma b’saħħitha.

CHARACTERISTICS AND OBJECTIVESDetails of the context of the proposal are required in the Explanatory Memorandum. This section of the Legislative Financial Statement should include the following specific complementary information:5.1. Need to be met in the short or long termLong term need5.2. Value-added of Community involvement and coherence of the proposal with other financial instruments and possible synergyThe Community has fishing interests in the Eastern Pacific area. Community fishermen are involved in fishing in the Convention Area for species to which the Convention applies. The Community played an active part in the international negotiations leading to the adoption of the Antigua Convention and made a vital contribution to the success of this process, initiated in 1998. The Community has publicly declared its satisfaction with the quality of this Convention, which takes account of recent developments in the international law of the sea and ensures effective cooperation which is open to all interested parties.The Community thus signed this Convention on 13 December 2004. It must now approve the Convention in order to become a Contracting Party and thus be able to participate fully in the work of IATTC once the Antigua Convention will enter into force is set up, thereby respecting its international obligations.5.3. Objectives, expected results and related indicators of the proposal in the context of the ABM frameworkUnder the common fisheries policy the Community has exclusive competence over the external aspects of fisheries policy. It therefore has to satisfy the obligations deriving from the international law of the sea as regards cooperation on the conservation and management of fishery resources on the high seas. This involves participation as a full member in regional fisheries organisations, where these exist and cover areas in which the Community has fishing interests.The purpose of this measure is therefore to ensure the Community’s participation in Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC), in its revamped framework as set up by the Convention for the Strengthening ofthe Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission established by the 1949 Convention between the United States of America and the Republic of Costa Rica (Antigua Convention).5.4. Method of Implementation (indicative)Show below the method(s) [10] chosen for the implementation of the actionٱ Centralised ManagementX Directly by the Commissionٱ Indirectly by delegation to:ٱ Executive Agenciesٱ Bodies set up by the Communities as referred to in art. 185 of the Financial Regulationٱ National public-sector bodies/bodies with public-service missionٱ Shared or decentralised managementٱ With Member statesٱ With Third countriesٱ Joint management with international organisations (please specify)Relevant comments:6. MONITORING AND EVALUATION6.1. Monitoring systemEach year, when the Organisation’s budget is adopted, the Commission may examine, verify and comment on the draft budget submitted by the IATTC Secretariat. The execution of these budgets is also scrutinised every year by the Contracting Parties. The budget is to be adopted by consensus of the Contracting Parties.6.2. Evaluation6.2.1. Ex-ante evaluationArticle XV of the Antigua Convention establishes that the financial activities of the Organisation are to be conducted in accordance with financial regulations adopted by the IATTC Commission.Thus, on top of the annual examination of the Organisation’s finances on the occasion of the adoption of the budget and the examination of the accounts for the previous year, each Contracting Party is entitled at all times to draw the attention of the IATTC Commission to possible infringements of the rules of the Organisation governing the execution of the budget.6.2.2. Measures taken following an intermediate/ex-post evaluation (lessons learned from similar experiences in the past)Evaluation conducted during the Annual Meeting.6.2.3. Terms and frequency of future evaluationEvaluations conducted by the appropriate subsidiary body of the organisation annually at the Annual Meeting of the Organisation.7. Anti-fraud measuresArticle XIV(4) of the Convention stipulates that the financial activities of the Organisation are to be subject to an annual audit by independent auditors.In addition, the European Commission negotiates audit clauses with international organisations in respect of the implementation of certain schemes/projects part-financed by the European Community. These clauses enable the Commission to verify the implementation of the operations for which it is providing part-financing by means of both documentary checks and on-the-spot checks and inspections in accordance with the procedures foreseen in Council Regulation (Euratom, EC) nº 2185/96 of 11 November 1996 concerning on-the-spot checks and inspections carried out by the Commission in order to protect the European Community’s financial interests against fraud and other irregularities.8.
