The text provides that the ICCAT Recommendation 16-07 on Southern Albacore Catch Limits for 2017-2020 has been extended to 2022 with key modifications, including adding the Republic of the Philippines to the catch limits table with a quota of 25 tons. The amendment allows Contracting Parties (CPCs) referenced in paragraph 3 to transfer portions of their quotas to other CPCs upon mutual agreement and prior notification to the ICCAT Secretariat, which will disseminate such notifications. Moreover, CPCs are urged to fully comply with the reporting and data submission requirements outlined in paragraph 7 of the original recommendation to ensure ongoing monitoring and management efficacy.
