SUBJECT: IATTC: USG AND EC MAKE JOINT DEMARCHE OVER GOC 
TUNA POLICY 
 
REF: HOGAN/GUMBINER EMAIL 1/29/09 
 
1. (U) Summary.  On February 17, EconOff and the European 
Commission Political/Economic Counselor Gonzalo Fournier, 
discussed the GOC's position toward the Inter-American 
Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) with Carlos Robles, Director 
of Fishing at the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA).  The impetus 
for the joint demarche was a December 2008 MOA Resolution on 
tuna conservation measures that walked-back from the GOC 
position presented to the IATTC working group in La Jolla. 
Robles expressed surprise at the joint demarche, as he 
thought that the GOC represented itself well in La Jolla, and 
said he would discuss the issue with MOA Minister Fernandez 
later this week.  Robles also advised that the GOC will not 
be able to host the next IATTC meeting due to financial 
concerns.  End Summary. 
 
2. (U) USG Position: EconOff passed Robles a non-paper with 
the points listed in reftel email, stating that the USG had 
welcomed the GOC proposal in La Jolla but questioned the 
MOA's decision to later alter that proposal.  EconOff noted 
that other GOC working group members (i.e. Ministry of 
Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Environment, and Ministry of 
Commerce) told post that the GOC agreed to set a 61 day 
individual vessel closure and an 84 day closure for the 
Corralito area to the west of the Galapagos, amongst other 
issues.  However, the MOA's December Resolution set a 49 day 
individual closure for big vessels, 30 days for middle-sized 
and small vessels, and no closure measures for the Corralito 
area.  EconOff highlighted that the Ambassador might raise 
this issue during his up-coming meeting with new Minister of 
Agriculture Andres Fernandez on February 25. 
 
3. (SBU) European Commission Position: Fournier stated that 
Brussels had never instructed him to do a stronger demarche. 
He said the EC's Fishing Directorate was upset that the GOC 
continued to hinder IATTC negotiations and is considering 
listing Colombia as a non-party country.  He noted several 
times that the GOC needs to comply with IATTC policy, 
especially as the IATTC is one of twelve conventions that the 
GOC must comply with before the Colombia-EU Free Trade 
Agreement can be signed.  He added that the EC questioned why 
the GOC desired to be an IATTC member, given its lack of 
respect for the IATTC's decision-making process and 
conservation intent.  Robles said this demarche was very 
similar to the one he gave to the MOA before La Jolla, albeit 
with a stronger tone. 
 
4. (SBU) MOA Response: Robles responded that the MOA issued 
its December resolution due to lack of consensus on the 
number of closure dates amongst the GOC group after La Jolla. 
 Robles said that the MOA, as the lead GOC organization, 
decided to keep the same number of closure days as in the 
2008 proposal, waiting to address the issue again with the 
working group at the annual IATTC meeting in June 2009.  He 
said that regardless of the days, the GOC was one of the few 
countries to make a concrete resolution, which represented 
progress for them.  When questioned about the MOA's lack of 
consultation on the revised proposal with the other 
ministries, Robles replied that the MOA's procedures are 
internal to the GOC and cannot be discussed.  (NOTE: 
Ministry of Environment officials were furious with the MOA 
action, telling us that the MOA essentially did the bidding 
of industry without internal consultation. END NOTE.) 
 
5. (SBU)  Robles said he would speak with Minister Fernandez 
about this issue as soon as possible, as the GOC did not want 
to return to being known as the difficult member of the 
IATTC.  Robles said several times that he was surprised by 
the demarche, as he thought the GOC had made a positive 
impression in La Jolla, but acknowledged that the MOA 
predicted USG displeasure about the reduction in closure 
days.  Robles specifically asked to see EconOff again prior 
to the Ambassador's meeting with the Minister. 
 
6. (U) Robles lamented that the GOC, which had tentatively 
offered to host the June 2009 IATTC meeting, would not be 
able to do so for financial reasons.
