Investigation set-up / rationale Sample Clauses

Investigation set-up / rationale. 2.2.1 A significant determining factor is the recent launch of Interpol Project Scale in February 2013, a global initiative to tackle IUU fishing which is strongly supported by the UK Government. World fish stocks are being rapidly depleted and valuable species are nearing extinction. Because fish are a valuable commodity, the last decade has witnessed an escalation of transnational and organised criminal networks engaged in fisheries crime. 2.2.2 Fisheries crime:  Undermines resource conservation  Threatens food security and livelihoods  Destabilises vulnerable coastal regions due to limited enforcement capabilities and corruption  Is linked to other serious crimes including money laundering, fraud, human trafficking and drug trafficking 2.2.3 Many countries particularly those in developing regions continue to operate in violation of fisheries laws and it is the responsibility of other more prosperous countries / partners such as ours to lead the way in terms of changing attitudes and behaviours. Ref. 20216 – Contract for the Provision of Staff for the Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Tuna Investigation 2.2.4 When considering whether or not there should be some form regulatory intervention, in addition to factors that help to determine whether or not information or intelligence is credible, it is also essential to ascertain if the alleged activity falls within the parameters of matters that the EU (and in our case the UK – and England in particular) believes is necessary to enforce. 2.2.5 In making this decision, the impact on food security, the economies of developing nations, the potential harm to endangered species and the impacts on national and international markets, including those in the EU generally and the UK, are all relevant factors. 2.2.6 In English law, these all form part of the ‘public interest’ decision that is persuasive in deciding whether or not to investigate and /or prosecute. 2.2.7 Having taken the aforementioned factors into consideration it has been decided by MMO Senior Management that a dedicated team should be created in order to conduct a professional and thorough investigation into these matters.
