CCAMLR Compliance Evaluation Procedure (CCEP)

In an effort to ensure compliance with, and effective implementation of, CCAMLR conservation measures, Conservation Measure 10-10 was adopted to support the implementation of a Compliance Evaluation Procedure for all Contracting Parties.

The CCEP  evaluates Contracting Party implementation of, and compliance with, conservation measures in an analytical, replicable, and equitable manner.  The CCEP uses information provided to the Secretariat, as required under the CAMLR Convention, conservation measures and other rules and procedures such as the CCAMLR Scheme of International Scientific Observation (SISO) and the System of Inspection.

The CCEP is an annual process undertaken by CCAMLR and has a number of key steps as outlined below.

Contracting Parties required to provide a response to their Draft CCAMLR Compliance Report are advised to go to CCAMLR online support to access guidelines for submitting a Contracting Party response to a Draft CCAMLR Compliance Report.
