Abstract

In accordance with the Commission-approved workplan for the implementation of an Electronic Monitoring System (EMS) for the tuna fisheries of the EPO, the purpose of this document is to present a report on the progress made during the 4th and 5th EMS workshops on the technical standards and data collection priorities of an EMS, and on the EMS Financial considerations, in that order. The feedback of the workshop participants is summarized and reflects their thoughts on topic-based discussions that were stimulated by a series of presentations and preliminary recommendations made by the staff, with the understanding that these recommendations may evolve over time, after each successive workshop, as a result of the feedback resulting from the discussion.
