AGREEMENT ON THE INTERNATIONAL DOLPHIN CONSERVATION PROGRAMAgreement on the International Dolphin Conservation Program • October 7th, 2015
On multiple occasions, the Secretariat has requested an increase in the vessel assessment rate from US$14.95 per cubic meter (m3) of well volume (unchanged since 2006) to US$ 17.61/m3, which it considers would be sufficient to fund the AIDCP program. Section 5.5.2 of Document MOP-29-06 on the AIDCP budget, prepared for the 29th Meeting of the Parties in July 2014, described an alternative approach of linking the assessment rate to the amount of the budget approved by the Parties. The Parties requested that the Secretariat provide a sample calculation demonstrating how this would work in practice. Document MOP-30 INF-B, presented at the 30th Meeting of the Parties in October 2014. showed how this approach would work. However, no consensus was reached on a decision on the proposed methodology.
