 sub-commissions |

Sub-commissions
will be open to those Contracting Parties which are coastal
States lying on the migratory path of the stocks concerned
in the sub-commission or are States whose vessels participate
in the fisheries of these stocks. They will provide a
forum for consultation and cooperation on matters related
to the management of the stocks concerned. In particular,
they will examine management options and recommend to
the Commission appropriate management measures.
To date, no sub-commissions have been constituted. These
bodies will become necessary when the Commission has determined
that management of certain stocks is needed. |

The
Scientific Committee was formally created at the First
Session of the Commission. This body will advise the
Commission and sub-commissions on research and data collection,
on the status of stocks and on management issues. The
meetings of the Scientific Committee are held conjointly
with those of the Commission. |

parties |

The
primary function of the Working Parties is to analyse
in more detail, technical problems related to the management
goals of the Commission. For example, Working Parties
related to the different species analyse the status of
the stock and offer options to the Scientific Committee
for management recommendations to the Commission. For

The Working Parties are open to interested and technically
competent participants and their reports are directed
to the Scientific Committee. |
