2.3.1 Extent to which CCAMLR has taken into account

2.3.1.1 The RP recommended that clarity was required as
to where the issue of non-native species in relation to the
Antarctic marine environment should be best dealt with
institutionally, and that the forthcoming workshop between the
CEP and SC-CAMLR represented an opportunity to determine this. |

Clarification of lead roles agreed at SC-CAMLR–CEP workshop
((2009)SC-CAMLR-XXVIII,
paragraphs 9.4 to 9.9). |
Scientific Committee – Complete – Roles clarified. Referred
back to CEP. |

2.3.1.2 Furthermore, there was a need to ensure that
there was alignment of policies in respect of non-native
species between CCAMLR and the CEP/ATCM. Otherwise, there
remained the risk that the actions of one body within the ATS
could be undermined by the other. |
