Extended Deadline for comments from Intersessional work on Labour standards participants on revised CMM prepared by co-chairs (issued 1 August 2021, and extended deadline notified 18 August 2021)

A revised version of the draft CMM is posted to the dedicated page Intersessional work on improving labour standards for crew (https://www.wcpfc.int/labour_standards)  This version was prepared by the Co-Chairs for comment.  It attempts to take account discussions that were had in the working group, as well as subsequent comments received by Japan, IELP, Australia, Indonesia, the Cook Islands and the United States. Some general comments from the US are also included below.

 

Taking into account members’ wish to have 3 weeks to consult on this next draft, could we please have any further comments/suggest changes to the text by Friday 20 August. We will then determine whether an additional virtual workshop is required, and how best to present a draft text to TCC.
