This paper presents an overview of a proposal from the European Union to support development of compliance analytical capability in the Secretariat as well as a Secretariat proposal for expenditure of A$33 425 from the Compliance Fund.

This paper presents three proposals for expenditure from the Catch Documentation Scheme for Dissostichus spp. (CDS) Fund for approval by the CDS Fund Review Panel with a combined cost of A$340 000 over two years (2022 and 2023).

The paper describes cooperation under the formal Arrangements and Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) that CCAMLR has signed with other regional organisations. The Secretariat recommends that the Scientific Committee and Commission authorise re-signing of the Arrangement with the South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO) and the MOU with the Agreement on the Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels (ACAP) for another three years in each case.

Over the years the Secretariat received several requests by Observers to circulate material to Members. This paper discusses options for enabling this.

At its 2019 meeting (CCAMLR-38, paragraph 12.6), the Commission tasked the Secretariat with submitting a paper to CCAMLR-39 outlining the current rules of access that apply to CCAMLR meeting documents. This document provides a brief history and details the current rules.

In 2013 the Commission agreed to the discontinuation of hard-copy report production and postage (CCAMLR-XXXII, Annex 7, paragraph 9i). Since then, the Secretariat publishes the reports via Amazon. This service is no longer available in Russian and different options need to be evaluated.
