European Union (EU) decided the policy of abandoning the adoption by next week's plenary session of the proposal of the international dealings prohibition of the Atlantic Ocean bluefin tuna that submitted it to the Washington Convention Conference of the Parties holding it in Doha on the 18th. Two or more European diplomatic sources clarified it.
In the one that it was received that a Monaco idea that insisted on the dealings prohibition and the amendment bill of EU had been both voted down at the committee on the 18th, the embargo decision seeing off by this conference became it almost surely by the front secession of EU.
It was corresponding that European Commission and each country of the joining that was the Japanese cypress of EU according to the same sources conferred on correspondence, and decided would overturn inferior to [go] proposing no on the 18th by the final day by the judgment with the difficulty.
It was thought that the vote result of the committee where opposite to an own proposal went up to 72 was unexpected for EU, and the Europe committee put out the statement assumed to be "It was regrettable that other contracting states (dealings prohibition) did not consent to the advantage" on the 18th. Having agreed with the EU idea at the committee stayed in just 1/3, and the prospect of the adoption did not stand at all though it was possible to bring in to the revote by the plenary session in the conference rule if 1/3 or more in the attendance country made a motion.
- It is * of describing clearly as for "Embargo idea refusal".
A French government put out the statement of adding the bluefin tuna to "Appendix 2" of Washington Convention instead of abandoning the embargo of the Atlantic Ocean bluefin tuna on the night (before dawn of the 19th in Japan standard time) of the 18th, and aiming at the introduction of the system that the each country government puts out the permission for exportation only to the amount that had been captured to legal.
The statement that French the Ministry of the Environment and the agricultural fishery ministry had jointly announced showed the policy of attempting the intention union in EU to arrange the pace by the license system introduction after it had been described clearly, "Both Monaco ideas and EU ideas were refused". It is thought the intention that aims at the adoption during the session of the agreement Conference of the Parties holding it in Doha until the 25th.
The aim of a French government is expected to be going to attempt the profit securing of the person of the home country related to the bluefin tuna fishing while the green campaigner's insistence is considered by the restriction of export. In the resource conservation by present International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), there is a possibility of connecting with the haul decrease etc. if it is assumed that fishing that exceeds the harvest quota is done, and is introduced the license system degree. However, repulsion is strongly expected to the France proposal between the exporting country and the developing country as for the sense of vigilance to tightening regulation by Washington Convention.
- If dealings are not restricted, flora and fauna with the possibility of exterminating is listed though there is not necessarily one of three kinds of appendices that the Washington Convention attachment book is in 2= agreement fear of extermination. The cover and [hoojirozame] are specified. The export permit is issued to what admitted that the each country government is legal because it prevents illegal capture to poach. The Monaco idea voted down in the Conference of the Parties on the 18th requested the addition to "Appendix 1" that prohibited the bargaining transaction.
