CCSBT – Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna
Description
CCSBT is an intergovernmental organisation responsible for the management of Southern bluefin tuna (Thunnus maccoyii) through its area of distribution and aims to ensure, through appropriate management, the conservation and optimum use of Southern Bluefin tuna.
CCSBT Convention does not provide for the accession of regional economic integration organisations, such as the EU. To promote cooperation in the conservation and management of Southern bluefin tuna, CCSBT has created the Extended Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (Extended Commission), in which the EU can participate as a member. Decisions adopted by the Extended Commission become decisions of the CCSBT at the end of the annual meeting session to which they were reported.
