7.1.1.1 The RP considered that CCAMLR will increasingly
come under financial pressure in pursuing the Convention’s
objectives. This Review has highlighted many areas which will
require greater attention and financial resources over coming
years. In addition, it appears that the growth in fishing
operations (if not for finfish then certainly for krill) will
continue. In these circumstances, the RP saw significant merit
in the Commission seeking to expand its financial base through
identifying and charging for the full cost of services which
are provided for commercial fishing operations. This will
require the development of a cost-recovery policy and an
assessment of how this should be implemented. |

7.1.1.2 The RP further recommended that:
(a) CCAMLR establishes an expert group to develop a
cost-recovery policy which would be applied to all
commercial fishing operations;
(b) the expert group be asked to review CCAMLR services
and decide which services relate directly to fishing
operations under the ecosystem approach to management
pursued by CCAMLR (and would thus be chargeable) and which
relate to the broader conservation objectives and would
continue to be funded from general funds.

7.1.1.3 The RP also recommended that special
consideration be given to the distinction between developing
and developed States when establishing the amount of each
Member’s contribution to the budget. The RP was, however,
conscious that such an approach might well require amendments
to both the Financial Regulations, as well as to the text of
the Convention itself (Article XIX.3). |
