Opening Address Delivered by John Paul Muindi, on behalf of Stefan Micallef, Director, MED, IMO

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Distinguished participants,

On behalf of Stefan Micallef, Director of the Marine Environment Division of the International

Maritime Organization, I am very pleased to welcome you to Cape Town on behalf of IMO for

this third GloBallast Partnerships Global Project Task Force Meeting.

It is great to note that this meeting is attended by most, if not all, GloBallast Lead Partnering

Countries and Regional Coordinating Organizations, as well as several of the Strategic

Partners: without you all, this Project will not be possible and IMO, as the executing agency

for the Project, would like to thank you again for your exceptional commitment and

dedication. GloBallast is an essential part of the IMO technical assistance activities and from

the very positive feedback that we get, both from delegations at the IMO Headquarters, and

through the IMO regional coordinators around the world, we realize how much this team of

Focal Points have contributed to the implementation of the Ballast Water Management

Convention, at all levels.

Together, you have created great momentum. In fact, looking at the global, regional and

national levels together, more than 150 specific activities have been implemented under the

Project over the past two years since the last Global Project Task Force Meeting, which is of

course astounding. And it seems as if this is not just a high and impressive number of

activities - we are actually starting to see the impacts of your efforts, through legal and policy

reforms in all of the GloBallast regions, as well as in other parts of the world.

As of today, 36 countries have ratified the Ballast Water Management Convention

representing 29.07% of the total world tonnage, but there are some remaining issues to

address before the Convention enters into force, such as the final details of the Port State

Control guidelines and the additional guidance on sampling. These issues are currently being

looked at by the relevant IMO bodies and we hope that they should be concluded in the near

future.

As you gather here in Cape Town this week to discuss the work plan for the coming years, it

is important to take a look at what we have learnt so far. Here, the Mid-Term Evaluation of

the Project, concluded by an independent consultant by the end of last year, plays an

important role. It is fair to say that you can be extremely proud of the results so far, but there

- 4 -

is still a lot to do. However, if we keep working together, building on all the experiences

accumulated over the years, we should be able to meet the objectives that we have set for

ourselves when we agreed to work together to implement this Project. You can rest assure

that the continuation of the Project has the strongest support from IMO.

Finally, we would like to thank Mr Adnan Awad from the International Ocean Institute of

Southern Africa for hosting the meeting, as well as UNEP and Andy Hudson for the

continuous support and the long standing cooperation between our organizations.

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to close these opening remarks by expressing our sincere

good wishes to all the participants in this Global Project Task Force Meeting. We at IMO

would like to thank you again for your outstanding and continued commitment to the Project

and for taking the lead globally in working with the implementation of the Ballast Water

Management Convention.

I know that many of you have come from very far away for this meeting. This shows exactly

the kind of spirit that has made GloBallast Partnerships a flagship Project and a pride for us

at IMO. We expect the GloBallast Partnerships to continue its championing efforts as the

Ballast Water Management Convention reaches its Entry into Force criteria and beyond.

We wish you all the best of luck for the meeting over the next three days.

Thank you very much.

Minutes of the Second GloBallast Partnerships Global Project Task Force Meeting

The GloBallast Partnerships (GBP) Project Coordination Unit (PCU) organized the 3rd GEF-UNDP-IMO GloBallast Partnerships Global Project Task Force (GPTF) meeting, in Cape Town, South Africa, from 17 to 19 September 2012. The meeting was hosted by the International Ocean Institute Southern Africa (IOI-SA), and included an Open Seminar on Experiences and New Tools, which was organized on 19 September 2012 in order to present the latest tools under development by the Project and discuss this in the wider context of capacity building in the region. The open seminar was kindly hosted by the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI). The meeting was attended by 30 participants in total (the list of participants is given in Annex 1) from almost all Lead Partnering Countries (LPCs), namely: Bahamas, Croatia, Argentina, Egypt, Ghana, Jamaica, Jordan, Nigeria, Panama, Turkey, Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela and Yemen; all RCOs: CPPS, IGCC/GCLME-RCU, PERSGA, REMPEC, RAC/REMPEITC-Caribe and SPREP; as well as strategic partners such as the World Maritime University (WMU) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). Additional participants from South African stakeholders attended the open seminar on the third day, but are not captured in the Annex 1. The opening session was addressed by:

Mr. Andrew Hudson, Head, UNDP Water & Ocean Governance Programme and UNDP/GEF Principal Technical Advisor, International Waters,

Mr. John Paul Muindi, International Maritime Organisation (IMO) Regional Coordinator for East and Southern Africa (Anglophone), on behalf of Mr. Stefan Micallef, Director, Marine Environment Division, IMO,

Mr. Adnan Awad, Director, International Ocean Institute Southern Africa (IOI-SA).

Mr. Fredrik Haag, Chief Technical Adviser, GEF-UNDP-IMO GloBallast Partnerships As per the GPTF Rules and Procedures, the meeting was chaired by UNDP (Mr. Hudson). Agenda Item 1: Adoption of the Agenda The agenda (attached as Annex 2) was adopted without any amendments. The reversed order of agenda items, to accommodate for a better discussion, in particular on the progress report and work plan, was noted and approved. The detailed programme of the meeting can be found in Annex 3. Agenda Item 2: GPTF Terms of reference and Rules of Procedure The Chairman emphasised the importance of the GPTF as the highest advisory body of the project and invited the Secretariat to introduce document GPTF/3/2. The Terms of Reference and Rules of Procedures were adopted by 1st GPTF Meeting in 2008, and later amended by the 2nd GPTF Meeting in 2010. During a brief discussion, the GPTF noted several minor errors, mainly due to the change of timeline for the Project. The Terms of Reference and Rules of Procedures were adopted with these amendments, and the updated Terms of Reference are attached at Annex 4.

Agenda Item 4: Regional Coordinating Organization (RCO) Status Reports on Regional and National Progress The review of the Project progress started with presentations from each of the RCOs, namely: CPPS, IGCC/GCLME-RCU, PERSGA, REMPEC, RAC/REMPEITC-Caribe and SPREP, who were invited to present a summary of progress on BWM at the national and regional levels for their respective regions, based on preliminary questionnaires that had been sent to the LPCs prior to the meeting and on a template sent to the RCOs, attached at Annex 6. South-East Pacific region - CPPS The Regional Technical Coordinator of the Permanent Commission of the South Pacific (CPPS), Mr. Hector Huerta, provided an overview of the RCO itself, the MoU between CPPS and IMO (October 2009, to facilitate the implementation of activities under the GloBallast Partnerships), the regional action plan and the Galapagos Commitment (2012) where the CPPS member states (Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama and Peru) expressed their willingness to collaborate with the IMO in order to address the invasive species issue. Mr. Huerta also summarized the work carried out in the region, especially the Regional Task Force Meetings (Chile 2008, Argentina 2009, Colombia 2010 and Chile 2012) and the capacity building activities. The status at the national level is summarized in Table 1 below:

Table 1: Progress at National Level – CPPS

West and Central Africa region - IGCC/GCLME-RCU Dr. Jacques Abe, Officer-In-Charge of the Interim Guinea Current Commission (IGCC) and the GCLME Project, presented an overview of the progress and challenges in the Guinea Current Large Marine Ecosystem (GCLME) region, which includes 16 countries of West and Central Africa (WACAF).

- 9 -

Twelve out of sixteen countries responded to the LPC questionnaires (which was sent out to all countries in the region), giving Dr. Abe the opportunity to present a thorough analysis of the progress in the non-LPCs, as shown in Table 2 below:

Table 2: Progress at National Level – IGCC/GCLME One of the main points of interest underlined by IGCC/GCLME was the need to further develop the twinning with LPCs in order to disseminate the best practices and experiences in the region. Red Sea and Gulf of Aden region - PERSGA Dr. Mohammed Badran, Director for Projects’ Management, Scientific Research and Monitoring, of the Regional Organization for Conservation of the Environment of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden (PERSGA), outlined the progress in the PERSGA region, and indicated that the Ballast water management Regional Strategy has been drafted and approved at the Technical Level. Several activities have been implemented in Egypt, Jordan and Yemen; and specific Project funds were allocated to twinning activities in Djibouti and Sudan. It was agreed that Dr. Badran will share their experiences from the twinning activities with the other regions as soon as possible, to assist the other regions in their preparations for similar activities. Mediterranean region - REMPEC Mr. Jonathan Pace, Senior Programme Officer, Regional Marine Pollution Emergency Response Centre for the Mediterranean Sea (REMPEC), presented the progress in the Mediterranean region, following a brief introduction of the Centre and the region. A Regional Strategy and an Action Plan have been prepared and developed by a Regional Task Force over the period 2008-2011 and adopted by the 17th Ordinary Meeting of the Contracting Parties to the Barcelona Convention (Paris, France, February 2012). They set eight strategic priorities and actions concerning ballast water management in the region such as a Regional System for compliance, monitoring and enforcement. Harmonized voluntary temporary arrangements for ballast water exchange in the Mediterranean were also adopted and applied as from 1 January 2012.

The delegate from Croatia, Ms. Maja Markovčić-Kostelac, stated that within the Commission from the Protection of the Adriatic Sea, the Adriatic Sea Ballast Water sub-commission has been established in order to enhance cooperation between the six states of the Adriatic Sea. Ms. Markovčić-Kostelac added that in 2013, a proposal will be submitted to IMO to designate the Adriatic Sea as a Particularly Sensitive Sea Area (PSSA) which, as the additional protective measures, will include measures related to ballast water management. Wider Caribbean region - RAC/REMPEITC-Caribe Cdr. Felton L. Gilmore, IMO consultant at the RAC/REMPEITC-Caribe and newly appointed GloBallast focal point, presented the Wider Caribbean region (WCAR) and the progress in the LPCs (Bahamas, Jamaica, Panama, Trinidad & Tobago, Venezuela). He explained that BWM is competing with other demands and needs in the region such as garbage or oil spill. However, Table 3 below detailed the good results achieved in the region: even if only Trinidad & Tobago has ratified the BWM 2004 Convention in the region, all the other countries have drafted proposals which are under various levels of scrutiny and review.

Table 3: Progress at National Level – WCAR

Cdr. Gilmore also noticed that the Regional Ballast Water Strategy and Action plan have been revised in April 2012. South Pacific region - SPREP Mr. Anthony Talouli, Marine Pollution Adviser at the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP), presented the recent and forthcoming activities in the SPREP region, which hosts nearly 600 Marine Protected Areas (MPA) including the largest MPA in the world. A regional CME and legal training was organized in 2011, as well as several National activities on Economic Assessments, Status Assessments, Strategies and Legislation in Fiji, Samoa and Tonga.

Agenda Item 3: Programme Coordination Unit (PCU) Progress Report The presentations by the RCOs were followed by a progress report (attached as Annex 5) by the PCU, covering the period from 1 October 2010 to 1 September 2012. The presentation included an introduction and background, which provided a context to the current status of activities and highlighted the objectives and expected outcomes for the Project. The progress with activities at all levels in relation to the expectations in relation to the Project Document was presented. In particular, the progress with national activities (see summary at the end of Annex 5) was highlighted stressing the need for those LPCs that have not yet requested the funds for national consultancies in support of the national strategy and legislation development, to do so as soon as possible. The presentation was followed by an in-depth discussion, highlighting a number of issues of relevance to the further implementation of the Project. Comments and results from the discussions during the meeting are presented under Agenda Item 7, Plan of Activities and Budget. Agenda Item 5: Strategic Partners information papers on their involvement in ballast water issues The Strategic Partners in the GloBallast Partnerships project were all invited to present their relevant progress and work plans. World Maritime University (WMU) Capt. Raphael Baumler, Assistant Professor at WMU briefly presented the Maritime Post-graduate University established by IMO in 1983, which offers several Master Degrees and PhDs. The WMU is a long-standing partner of the GBP Project and has co-developed with the PCU several training packages and guidelines, and is currently developing a Risk Assessment guidance document. WMU is also contracted regularly as consultants in national and regional training activities. International Ocean Institute Southern Africa (IOI-SA) Mr. Adnan Awad, Director of IOI-SA, introduced the International Ocean Institute in general and the IOI-SA based in Cape Town in particular, which is supervising and coordinating all the IOI centers based in Africa. The IOI-SA is also a frequent partner of the Project and has participated in the development of several training packages and guidelines. At present, Mr. Awad is leading the development of a new guidance document on Port Biological Baseline Surveys (PBBS). Mr. Awad is also a frequent lecturer and consultant on national and regional training activities. Agenda Item 6: GIA and IMO-EBRD Marine Biosafety initiative progress report Ms. Aicha Cherif from the GBP PCU presented the Global Industry Alliance (GIA) progress report. Table 4 below presents the status of implementation of the GIA activities:

- 12 -

Table 4: Status of implementation of the GIA activities

Mr. Stanislav Suprunenko, Environmental Specialist at the European Bank for

Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), presented the IMO-EBRD Marine Biosafety

initiative progress report. Working with the IMO, the EBRD's Shareholder Special Fund has

so far made available €320,000 to fund training and awareness programs and to support the

development of the technical and infrastructural capacity required to cope with the

implementation of the BWM Convention.

It was noted that training programmes, including both introductory and advanced training

courses for mainly the private sector, were successfully conducted in Russia and Ukraine in

2011. The next phase will begin in October 2012 in Turkey and may later include other

countries.

Agenda Item 7: Plan of Activities and Budget

Mr. Antoine Blonce from the GBP PCU summarized the main conclusions of the Mid-Term

Evaluation (MTE) report, which is an integral and compulsory part of project management for

all GEF-funded projects, and thus an important part of the GBP project work plan. The MTE

was conducted by an independent consultant (Mr. Rick Boelens, Ireland) from May to

December 2011.

The main conclusions of the report are as follow:

.1 the Project has progressed very well towards achievement of its objectives;

.2 good synergies between the Project activities and the IMO ITCP activities;

.3 public-private partnerships may constitute a significant source of co-financing;

.4 significant benefits gained by facilitating and encouraging adaptive

management; and

.5 the report recommends the GloBallast Project as an example of best

practices.

However, the report also underlines that, even if the GBP Project in many respects can be

used as an example of best practice, there is still room for improvement, most notably on the

following points:

- 13 -

.1 improving the annual reporting between LPCs, RCOs and the PCU;

.2 maintaining the continuity on the BWM experts in the governments; and

.3 increased attention on the GIA.

The PCU noted that it already addressed the GIA issue by allocating an assistant dedicated

to the public-private partnership aspect of the GBP Project.

Mr. Haag then detailed the technical and financial progress report of the Project including a

proposal for an extension of the Project until 2016, at no further increase to the total Project

funding from GEF. This extension will be possible due to the prudent financial management

throughout the Project, as well as the extensive co-financing from IMO and other, external,

sources. Based on this proposed extension, Mr. Haag then continued with a presentation of

a proposed draft work plan and budget for 2013-2016 (see Annex 7).

Group discussion

Following these detailed reports, the participants were invited to break into working groups

(per region) in order to share experiences, assess the remaining barriers, and discuss the

work plan of the GBP Project. The following questions served as a starting point for the

discussions:

General questions

To what extent the Project has been successful in helping your region/country in preparing for the entry into force of the BWM Convention; and

If the draft work plan (GTPF 3/7) is appropriate to ensure we achieve the objectives of the Project and thus prepare your region/country for the Convention.

Specific questions

Over all work-plan and meeting the Project Objectives

1. Does the draft Plan of activities prepared by the PCU (GPTF 3/7) meet the objectives for the Project? Does it address the points/concerns raised by the MTE? Please use the list of indicators from the Project Document in your discussions.

2. In what way, if any, can/should the work plan be modified to better assist countries in your region(s) to achieve the objectives of the Project and prepare for the Convention? Are there any specific barriers that need to be addressed that are not captured in the Project and the Draft plan of activities?

Regional strategy and diffusion of experiences

3. Are there any particular countries in your region that would benefit from

greater encouragement and/or assistance (i.e. ‘twinning’)? What kind of

assistance?

4. What would be the best ways to transfer the knowledge gained in the LPCs to

other countries in the region?

- 14 -

5. What do you see as the main barriers when it comes to ensuring

implementation of the Regional Strategy and Action Plan?

Improving co-operation and efficiency

6. How do we improve the dialogue within and between the regions?

7. How do we improve the reporting from LPCs and RCOs to the PCU? Do we

need a more formal annual reporting format?

The session resulted in a very valuable list of priority actions, as identified by the regions and LPCs, highlighting the specific needs in terms of activities needed in order to fulfil the objectives of the Project, and most importantly for each LPC to be able to implement the BWM2004 Convention. The list of priority actions that resulted from the group discussions is attached in Annex 8. It was agreed that the list will serve as the main guidance for the PCU when organizing and prioritizing the intersessional activities, and that as many activities and recommendations as possible shall be incorporated into the work programme for the Project. Following the group discussions, the meeting endorsed the work plan for 2013-2016 and the PCU invited for further comments by correspondence. The meeting endorsed the PCU proposal to extend the Project by a further two years, and to request the Executive Committee to approve the extension formally at its earliest opportunity. It was noted that, following the formal approval of the budget extension by the ExCom later this year or early 2013, a revised budget for 2013-2016 would be prepared and submitted to UNDP for approval. This budget will be adjusted to reflect the extension of the timeline of the Project. Agenda Item 8: Any Other Business No other issues were raised. Closing remarks were given by UNDP (Mr. Hudson), IMO (Mr. Muindi) and the GloBallast PCU (Mr. Haag).

- 15 -

Open Seminar on Experiences and New Tools Following the conclusion of the formal agenda, the meeting was opened up to external participants, as a Seminar on Experiences and New Tools. The seminar showcased the experiences from the region (southern Africa) since the Pilot Phase, as well as the latest developments in terms of the implementation of the Convention in South Africa. Furthermore, the latest GloBallast tools under development were presented (PBBS guidelines and risk assessment guidance). The seminar concluded with a discussion on training needs and possibilities. The full programme can be found in Annex 3. Field visit to Test Facility The GPTF also included a field visit to a test facility for ballast water treatment systems, located in the Port of Cape Town. The visit was hosted by Mr Bernard Jacobs, Chief Executive Officer of Resource Ballast Technologies (RBT), a ballast water treatment system developer based in Cape Town, and included a guided tour of the facility, including an introduction to the treatment system itself as well as the processes for testing the system to IMO standards. This visit was followed by a visit to Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope.

Mr. Bernard Jacobs present the test facility and explains the treatment system testing process

ANNEX 4 GPTF Terms of Reference &

Rules of Procedure

Terms of reference for the Global Project Task Force

(As revised by 3rd GPTF Meeting) Background

1 As this is a global project, it is necessary to have a global advisory and coordination mechanism to guide the PCU and participating countries in the implementation of programme activities, and to provide a forum for consultation and communication between the various international parties involved or with a vital interest in the programme. A Global Project Task Force (GPTF) has therefore been formed. The Terms of Reference for the GPTF are as follows: Role

2 The GPTF will be the highest advisory body of the programme. The GPTF will review the activities of the programme and will provide advice to the IMO and UNDP on the general directions to be followed. The GPTF will make its final recommendations to IMO and UNDP based on the principle of consensus. An organogram for the GloBallast Partnerships project explaining the functional relationships among the various stakeholders of the project is given in Annex 1. Membership

3 Initial GPTF membership will include a representative from each of the Lead Partnering Countries (LPC) and Regional Coordinating Organizations (RCO) as well as one each from GEF/UNDP, the private sector, other donor partners, the NGO community and the IMO. Two representatives from GloBallast Phase-1 Pilot Countries on a rotational basis will also be invited to GPTF meetings. Additional members can be added at the discretion of the IMO and UNDP on the advice of GPTF. The PCU Chief Technical Advisor (CTA) will act as Secretary to the GPTF. The GPTF will be chaired jointly by IMO and UNDP. A list of LPCs and RCOs is given below. Lead Partnering Countries (LPCs)

Tasks

The GPTF will advise and assist the IMO and UNDP on the following tasks:

- Provide overall strategic policy and management direction to the programme; - Assist in identifying and allocating programme support for activities consistent

with programme objectives; - Biennially review and assess the progress of the programme and its

components; - Biennially review and approve the work plan and comment on the budgets of

the programme and its activities, and provide strategic direction on the work plan;

- Provide guidance to the PCU in coordinating and managing the programme

and its activities; - Create mechanisms for interaction with the private sector (shipping, ports),

NGO and other stakeholders (e.g. public health); and

- 29 -

- Seek additional funding to support the outputs and activities of the

programme.

Meetings 4 The GPTF will meet on a biennial basis. These three meetings will be built around the three key operational events:

- Inception meeting: agreeing on a detailed work plan and preparation of an inception report - Mid-term meeting: providing implementation status and an external mid-term evaluation

- Final meeting: discussing achievements, lessons learned and next steps / sustainability.

5 As much as possible, the GPTF meetings will be held back to back with the IMO MEPC meetings. During the project years 2009 and 2011, an Executive Committee, composed of UNDP/GEF, IMO and the PCU will convene to discuss project implementation, focusing on feedback from issues raised in the annual APR/PIR reports.

Rules for Procedure for the Global Project Task Force

(Revised by the 3rd GPTF Meeting) Introduction

6 The purpose of these Rules of Procedure (ROP) is to provide a uniform basis for the Global Project Task Force (GPTF) of the GEF/UNDP/IMO Project-GloBallast Partnerships (the Project) and its subsidiary bodies, to conduct their work in an efficient and effective manner having regard to the available resources of the Project. 7 The ROP are applicable to the work of the GPTF and any subsidiary bodies that it may establish. The Chairmen of the GPTF and any subsidiary bodies should make all efforts to ensure strict compliance with the ROP. 8 The ROP and the appendices thereto was approved and adopted by the 1st Meeting of the GPTF and will be kept under review and updated as necessary by the GPTF in the light of experience gained in their application. Role of the GPTF

9 The role of the GPTF is to provide strategic advice and guidance on the activities of the Project and ensure the achievement of its development objectives, as outlined in the UNDP Project Document, in a co-ordinated, efficient and cost-effective manner, and to provide a forum for regular and on-going review and approval of the Project’s Implementation Plan. GPTF Tasks

10 The GPTF will advise and assist the IMO and UNDP on the following tasks:

- Provide overall strategic policy and management direction to the programme; - Assist in identifying and allocating programme support for activities consistent with

programme objectives; - Bi-annually review and assess the progress of the programme and its components; - Bi-annually review and approve the work plan and comment on the budgets of the

programme and its activities, and provide strategic direction on the work plan; - Provide guidance to the PCU in coordinating and managing the programme and its

activities; - Create mechanisms for interaction with the private sector (shipping, ports), NGO and

other stakeholders (e.g. public health); and - Seek additional funding to support the outputs and activities of the programme.

Membership 11 Membership of the GPTF is open to:

- the Global Environment Facility (GEF); - the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP); - the International Maritime Organization (IMO);

- 32 -


- the National Focal Point (NFP) from each of the Lead Partnering Countries (LPC;) - the Project Focal Point (PFP) from each of the Regional Coordinating Organizations

(RCO); - one representative of each donor Financial Institution (FI); - one representative of Industry Task Force (ITF); - one representative from GloBallast Pilot Phase; - the following Observers:

- one representative each from International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) and

International Association of Independent Tanker Owners (INTERTANKO); - one representative from each of the environmental non-government

organizations - International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF);

- any other party approved by a meeting of the GPTF in accordance with these

ROP. Observer Members 12 The GPTF may grant Observer status to any organisation that is able to make a substantial contribution to the Programme, including but not restricted to the Observers listed under membership above. 13 Decisions by the GPTF to grant Observer status to any organisation shall be based on the following principles of purpose:

- for the purpose of enabling the GPTF to obtain information and/or expertise from an organisation with special knowledge, experience and/or interest in any particular subject relating to the Programme; and

- for the purpose of enabling an organisation which represents a large group who’s

activities have a direct bearing on the Programme, and vice-versa, to express their points of view to the GPTF.

14 Observer status may not be granted to an organisation unless it undertakes to support and promote the activities of the Programme. 15 The granting of Observer status shall confer the following privileges on an organization:

- the right to receive all documents relating to GPTF meetings; - the right to submit written statements on items of the agenda of GPTF meetings; and - the right to attend GPTF meetings and to make representations at such meetings, in

accordance with these ROP and the Chairman’s prerogative.

16 While, as a general rule the GPTF will make decisions based on the principle of consensus, including consensus of Observer members, in accordance with paragraphs 26 to 29, when voting is necessary Observer Members do not have voting rights.

- 33 -


17 All Observer members shall keep the GPTF fully informed of those aspects of their own activities which are likely to be of interest and relevance to the Programme. 18 The GPTF shall review from time to time the list of Observer members and decide any necessary changes. Chairmanship & Secretariat 19 The GPTF will be chaired jointly by IMO and UNDP. 20 Any subsidiary groups which might be established shall elect from among their members a Chairman and Vice-Chairman. 21 The Chief Technical Adviser (CTA) of the Programme Coordination Unit (PCU) based at the International Maritime Organization (IMO) shall act as the Secretary of the GPTF and any subsidiary groups which may be established. He may delegate his functions to staff of the PCU and will be assisted in these functions by an IMO Officer back-stopping to the Programme. In carrying out these functions, he will have access to the resources and facilities of IMO. 22 It is the duty of the Secretariat to receive, process and circulate to Members all reports, resolutions, recommendations and other documents of the GPTF and its subsidiary bodies. Meetings

23 Throughout the project, the GPTF will meet on a biennial basis. These meetings are built around the 4 key operational events:

Inception meeting (2008): agreeing on a detailed work plan, budget and preparation of an inception report

Mid-term meeting (2010): providing implementation status and review of an external mid-term evaluation and the GloBallast Partnerships Project Implementation Plan for the period of 2010-2014

Interim meeting (2012): providing implementation status and review the GloBallast Partnerships Project Implementation Plan for the period of 2012-2014

Final meeting (2014): discussing achievements, lessons learned and next

steps/sustainability. 24 As much as possible, the GPTF meetings will be held back to back with the IMO MEPC meetings. During the project years 2009 & 2011 & 2013, an Executive Committee, composed of UNDP/GEF, IMO and the PCU will convene to discuss project implementation, focusing on feedback from issues raised in the annual APR/PIR reports. 25 The Secretariat, acting on the direction of the Chairman, shall notify Members at least two months in advance of the holding of a meeting. Agenda

26 The provisional, annotated agenda and supporting documents for each Meeting shall be prepared by the Secretary and shall normally be communicated to the Members 2 weeks before the opening of the meeting. 27 The first item on the provisional agenda for each meeting shall be the adoption of the agenda. 28 The provisional agenda for each meeting shall include:

- 34 -


- any item proposed by a member; - any item proposed by the Secretariat; - all items the inclusion of which has been requested by the GPTF at a previous

meeting; and - any item of the agenda of a previous meeting, consideration of which has not been

completed, unless otherwise decided by the GPTF.

29 In circumstances of urgency the Secretary, with approval from the Chairman, may include any item suitable for the agenda which may arise between the dispatch of the provisional agenda and the opening of the meeting, in a supplementary provisional agenda which the GPTF shall examine together with the provisional agenda. Languages

30 The official language of the GPTF is English. Decision making and voting

31 In general, the GPTF will arrive at decisions by consensus of all Members, including Observers. 32 In exceptional situations where consensus may not be possible, the GPTF will arrive at decisions by voting, if required. The GPTF should normally vote by show of hands. Each Member organisation shall have one vote, except Observers, who shall not have the right of vote. Subsidiary bodies

33 The GPTF may establish and dis-establish such subsidiary bodies as and when it considers necessary. Such subsidiary bodies shall follow these ROP so far as they are applicable. 34 The subsidiary bodies should, as necessary, operate under the instructions of, and report to, the GPTF. Conduct of business

35 Seven Members shall constitute a quorum. 36 The Chairman shall declare the opening and closing of each meeting. He shall direct the discussion and ensure observance of these ROP, accord the right to speak, put questions to the vote and announce decisions resulting from the vote. Co-ordination and review of work plans

37 The GPTF should periodically examine the Project’s Implementation Plan, establish priorities, allocate work to subsidiary bodies and review the allocation of meeting dates to each body and their future work plans and provisional agendas, taking into account any recommendations made by meetings of the GPTF and subsidiary bodies. 38 The GPTF Chairman should, at the end of every 2 years, submit to the GPTF a joint plan covering the activities, priorities and meetings of the subsidiary bodies over the following 2 years. 39 The GPTF should:

- 35 -


- decide on items to be included in the work plans of their subsidiary bodies with clear and detailed instructions for the work to be undertaken;

- establish priorities and target dates or the number of sessions needed for the

completion of the consideration of such items; and - assign work on such new items to appropriate subsidiary bodies.

40 The following should apply when the GPTF is invited to consider proposals for the inclusion of new items in its Work Plan:

- specific indication of the action required; - the need for the work proposed and its relation to the objectives of the Programme; - the scope and issues involved; - the costs to the Programme, the maritime industry, the legislative and administrative

burdens involved and benefits which would accrue therefrom; and - its degree of priority and a target completion date.

Preparation and introduction of documents and reports

41 For each meeting, the Secretariat shall prepare the following documents:

- the provisional, annotated agenda; - official invitations to all Members; and - the meeting report.

42 Documents should be prepared in single spacing and be as concise as possible so as to facilitate their timely processing. In order to enhance the clear understanding of documents, the following should be observed:

- all documents should include a brief summary prepared in accordance with the form given in appendix 1;

- substantive documents should conclude with a summary of the action the relevant

body is invited to take; - information documents should conclude with a summary of the information contained

therein.

43 All documents should be made available to GPTF Members by the Secretariat 4 weeks or more before a session and should be introduced in the plenary for the proper consideration of the matter concerned. 44 Reports of the GPTF and their subsidiary bodies should, in general, contain, under each section, only:

- a summary of key documents and listing of other documents submitted by GPTF Members and the Secretariat;

- a summary of views expressed, during consideration of an item, which may have

influenced the decision taken by the reporting body (thus not allowing the reports to

- 36 -


turn into summary records, Statements by delegations should be included therein only at their express request during the session); and

- a record of the decisions taken.

45 Whenever possible, each subsidiary body should indicate in its report the progress made towards the target completion date set by the GPTF(s) for each major item. 46 Chairman of subsidiary bodies should not introduce their reports to the GPTF, as these should be taken as read. Observance of the Rules of Procedure

47 These ROP should be observed strictly. This will assist Members in preparing adequately for each meeting and enhance their participation in the debate and decision-making process during meetings. It will also avoid delegations experiencing difficulties when developing positions on subjects on the agenda of the GPTF or its subsidiary bodies. Members should ensure that their experts attending meetings of subsidiary bodies are adequately informed and instructed on any action necessary to give effect to decisions made by the GPTF.

- 37 -

ANNEX 5 Progress report

SUMMARY

Executive summary: This document provides an overview of the progress achieved in the implementation of the GloBallast Partnerships Project during the reporting period.

Action to be taken: Paragraph 10

Related documents: GPTF/3/7

1 This report covers the reporting period from 1 October 2010 to 1 September 2012. More than 150 specific activities (over 6 activities per month) to achieve the expected outcomes of the Project were undertaken at the global, regional and national levels, during the reporting period of 23 months. Most activities were undertaken with the backstopping and technical support of IMO’s Marine Environment Division and its Biosafety Section, and with significant co-financing support from Regional Coordinating Organizations (RCOs), Lead Partnering and Partnering Countries of the Project, the IMO-ITCP Programme, the Global Industry Alliance (GIA)and numerous strategic partners. 2 Looking at the Project work plan, last revised at the Global Project Task Force (GPTF) in 2010, approximately 70% progress against the current targets has been achieved at the Global and Regional level of the implementation of this project (as estimated by the PCU) as of 1 September 2012. All global and regional targets for the reporting period have been either met or exceeded. The legal, policy and institutional reform (LPIR) process at the national level, which, during the first few years of the Project, had been slower than anticipated, has now picked up momentum. The accelerated efforts at the national level are a direct result of the Project intervention at this level during 2010-2012. However, considerable efforts are still needed to overcome the political and capacity related constraints in some LPCs. Considering the relatively very short window of political opportunities in some countries to agree on policy and legislative reforms, the current extension of the project (until 2014) may prove to be insufficient, and the PCU is keeping a close eye on the developments at national level. Furthermore, as noted in the Mid-Term Evaluation completed in December 2011, the dissemination and sharing of experiences and capacity built within and between the regions will take longer than initially envisaged. Twinning activities can only be successfully implemented if at least one of the involved countries has reached a certain level of experience with respect to e.g the development of national assessments and strategies. Dialogue at the national and regional level, such as the regional strategy and action plans developed by the Regional Task Forces, are also essential elements. 3 Figure 1 below summarises the project objectives, expected outcomes, outputs and planned activities.

Regional level Approximately 20 activities were undertaken at the regional level during the reporting period. This is slightly less than during the previous reporting period, which is due to the fact that the focus during the period 2010-2012 has been national level progress, also coordinated by the RCOs. The key activities at regional level are summarised below:

Series of Regional Task Force meetings in all 5 regions (WACAF, South East Pacific + Argentina, Wider Caribbean, Mediterranean, Red Sea and Gulf of Aden) and strategies revised.

West African regional strategy was translated in French, Spanish and Portuguese.

Regional strategies developed in South Asia and Caspian regions.

Regional CME training courses in all five GBP regions.

Regional Legal training for Asia conducted in Singapore, and for the South Pacific conducted in Fiji.

A regional training course for Black and Caspian Sea littoral States on Port Biological Baselines Surveys was held in Georgia.

National level

Panama joined the Project as the 15th LPC and as the 5th in the Wider Caribbean region.

Several NTF meetings were held by all LPCs. NTFs were established and NTF meetings held is several PCs also.

A series of national seminars were held in non-LPC countries (Bangladesh, Benin, Cameroon, China, Indonesia, Kenya, Liberia, Peru, Senegal, Sri Lanka, Syria and Tanzania, Angola, Comoros, Fiji, Georgia, India, Madagascar, Mozambique, Thailand and Viet Nam). (Uruguay, Honduras, Syria, Montenegro, India, Sierra Leone and Tanzania).

Most of the Pilot Phase countries involved in the delivery of regional and global GBP activities, e.g. as consultants (South Africa, Brazil, Ukraine, India).

National consultancy projects to undertake BWM status assessments, economic assessment, legal review, and to develop a national BWM strategy completed in most LPCs. 2 countries (LPCs, PCs and Pilots) from the GBP regions ratified the IMO BWM Convention during the 2010-2012 period.

All LPCs are on track to adopt their national strategies during late 2012.

6 Annex 1 gives a detailed list of activities conducted during the reporting period, as per the logical framework (LogFrame) for the Project. The activities are shown against the expected outcomes and outputs set for the project.

7 As further detailed in document GPTF/3/8 (Plan of activities and budget) the adaptive and prudent financial management used in the Project, as well as the significant co-financing efforts by RCOs, LPCs, PCs, the IMO ITCP and strategic partners, has meant that while the actual expenditure per year has been significantly less than the initial, approved annual budget, all major targets for the reporting period have been met or exceeded. 8 These continued efforts have resulted in a contingency resource buffer within the Project budget. As indicated in previous reports, this has been done mainly in view of the anticipated barriers (mainly political and capacity related) for the legal, policy and institutional reforms that are still remaining at national level, as well as the slower than expected pace by which such reforms are taking place in some of the LPCs and PC countries. The saving made through co-financing in the initial years of the Project will therefore mitigate the financial risk, if any, during the remaining period of the Project.

9 The total cash and in-kind co-financing so far to support the Project objectives is estimated to US$ 21,490,512, which includes both cash and in-kind co-financing support received from e.g. IMO, LPCs, PCs and Strategic Partners. The ratio of total co-financing as of 30 June 2012 to GEF actual expenditure for the reporting period is 7.66, well exceeding the expected co-financing ratio of 1:3, as per the GEF-UNDP ProDoc. Action Requested of the GPTF 10 The GPTF of the GEF-UNDP-IMO Partnership Project is requested to review the attached report on Project progress and make necessary revisions to ensure all activities are correctly reflected.

ANNEX 7 Work Plan and

Budget for 2013-2016

SUMMARY

Executive summary: This document provides a budget overview and proposes an extension of

the Project by another two years, at no increase in the total Project budget.

The document also provides a draft revised GloBallast Partnerships

Project Implementation Plan for the period of 2013-2016.

Action to be taken: Paragraph 17

Related documents: GPTF/3/3

Introduction and background

1 In accordance with the GEF-UNDP Project Document (ProDoc), the 1st Global Project Task Force

Meeting held in March 2008 developed and endorsed a Project Implementation Plan (PIP) to guide the

execution of the GloBallast Partnerships Project (GBP). The PIP (document GPTF/1/3) outlined a detailed

work plan and budget to achieve the main goal of the GBP which is to assist vulnerable developing countries

to implement sustainable, risk-based mechanisms for the management and control of ships’ ballast water and

sediments in order to minimize the adverse impacts of aquatic invasive species transferred by ships.

2 The 2nd

Global Project Task Force meeting in October 2010 revised the Project work plan for the

remainder of the Project, (GPTF/2/8), taking into account an extension of the Project timeline by a further two

years, until 2014. The work plan was later updated by the PCU and approved by the Executive Committee

meeting held in November 2011.

3 The GloBallast Partnerships Project is currently at mid-point of its implementation. Since the second

GPTF in October 2010, the main focus of activities has been on the national level, giving priority to the

establishment of a national information base and basic structures in the Lead Partnering Countries (LPCs),

such as National Task Forces and most importantly the development of national BWM strategies and

legislation. Other major project activities were the outreach to partner countries (PCs) and the development of

two advanced training packages. Furthermore, the Mid-Term Evaluation was completed in December 2011,

and its findings will serve as a guide for the continuous improvement of the implementation of the Project.

- 86 -


4 In line with the Logical Framework (LogFrame) for the Project (approved by GEF) and as per the

indicators of success identified for the Project, it is expected that, by the end of the project, all LPCs can

demonstrate significant improvement in legal, policy and institutional structures, with corresponding reduced

risk of ballast water borne marine bio-invasions. The LogFrame also identified the way of measuring this

over-arching indicator as follows:

All lead partnering countries (LPCs) have assigned a Lead Agency, formed a National Task

Force and developed National Ballast Water Management Strategy (NBWMS).

Each LPC has revised its legal instruments, instituted a risk-based compliance monitoring

and enforcement (CME) system, and established a sustainable financing structure for their

national ballast water management program.

All lead participating countries are proceeding towards ratification of the IMO ballast water

management Convention, with at least 10 LPCs having ratified and implementing the

Convention.

At least 3 neighbouring partnering countries have developed draft NBWMS.

The Regional Seas and LME conventions in each partner region include approved provisions

supporting improved BWM, the BWM convention and BWM regional strategies.

5 Since the achievement of the overall goal of the Project will be supported by four main outcomes, the

LogFrame had also included the indicators for each of the specific outcomes as well as their sources of

verification. A more detailed account of the outcome-based indicators and sources of verification, as per the

LogFrame is given below:

Note: text in bold shows the indicators that are yet to be fully demonstrated.

6 With the above objectives and outcomes in mind, the strategy adopted for execution of the Project is

based on a three-tiered approach:

A global component, managed through a Programme Coordination Unit (PCU) at IMO in

London, providing international coordination and information dissemination, including

the development of toolkits and guidelines, and establishing a strong cooperation with

industry and NGOs.

A regional component, providing regional coordination and harmonization, information

sharing, training, and capacity building in the application of ballast water management

tools and guidelines.

A significant country component, that establishes a fast track (LPC) and partner track

(PC) process for GEF-eligible countries in the priority regions. LPCs were selected based

on their commitment to develop and implement a National Ballast Water Management

Strategy (NBWMS), and to adopt legal, policy and institutional Reforms (LPIR).

Budget and Project timeline

7 The Project is aimed at assisting partnering countries by providing a “roadmap” on how to achieve

legal, policy and institutional reforms, and then by assisting partnering countries to steer the course. At the

centre of the project management approach is a significant country engagement, where ownership of the issue

and significant co-financing is expected from the beneficiary LPCs. Hence, the Project budget does not have

pre-determined budget allocations at the national level. Instead, a highly adaptive project management

approach is employed, where budget allocations are made as progress is demonstrated and specific, current

needs are identified. In addition, since ownership by countries and other stakeholders is crucial for the success

for the Project, it relies heavily on partnerships and co-financing. Therefore, the Project budget is revised by

the PCU and approved by UNDP every year.

8 The latest revision of the Project budget was approved by UNDP in May 2012, through Budget

Revision D (attached to this document as Annex 1). The next Budget Revision will be submitted in 2013,

which will take into account any savings through co-financing since Budget Revision D.

9 It should be noted that the total project budget remains the same as the original GEF approved budget,

despite the two year project extension and the additional number of activities carried out in the last two years.

This was possible mainly due to the significant savings made during the first half of the project through

prudent resource management by all Project partners and extensive cash co-financing mobilized by the PCU

and RCOs. Currently, the ratio for co-financing is 1:8 (GEF funds to cash and in-kind co-finance), which is a

very high figure, and a clear indication of the tremendous ownership of the Project and the issue by all

involved partners.

10 As can be noted from Budget Revision D (see Annex 1), the total Project fund expenditure from 2008

to 2011 is US$2,638,352 (US$2,591,871 + prior year reconciliation US$46,481). As of 1 January 2012, the

remaining Project funds were US$3,049,648. From Annex 1 it can also be deduced that based on the average

yearly expenditure during the first four years, and given that many of the Outcome 2 and Outcome 3 activities

have been completed or are well under way, an average annual expenditure for the years ahead would

realistically be 550k to 650k. During 2012, expenditure is expected to be considerably less than the previous

annual averages, since the Technical Adviser position vas vacant from January to July (seven months).

Similarly, expenditure during the last year of the Project is also expected to be less than other years, since the

Project is expected to end in September, and there will be very few national and regional level activities.

11 Consequently, the PCU concludes that there is sufficient financial room to extend the project by

another two years (until September 2016) without any increase in the overall project budget. The GPTF is

therefore invited to endorse the extension of the work plan by a further two years, subject to the formal

approval by the Executive Committee during 2013, followed by the formalisation of the new Project timeline

in Budget Revision E (to be completed March-April 2013). The extension of the Project would allow a

reasonable timeframe to achieve the national level goals of the project and ensure that the experiences from

the LPCs are shared with the neighbouring countries. It would also be strategic given that the Convention has

not yet entered into force but may be expected to do so in the next 1.5-3 years’ time. During this time and the

years immediately following entry into force, the GloBallast Partnerships Project and partners (RCOs, LPCs

and strategic partners) will have a crucial role to play.

12 The proposal by the PCU to extend the project also takes into consideration the fact that significant

further co-financing can be mobilized during the extended period of the Project, especially considering the co-

financing track record in the first four years.

- 89 -


Revised work plan 2013-2016

13 As demonstrated in the Progress Report (document GPTF/3/3), and as confirmed by the Mid-Term

Evaluation report, significant progress has been achieved in the first four years of the Project. Most of the

targets set for the 2008-2011 period have been met or exceeded, but some key targets remain to be met, not

least under Outcome 2 and Outcome 3. Several tools have been developed to assist with the national level

LPIR process, significant capacity building activities have been implemented at regional level and regional

frameworks and strategies for cooperation and collaboration are being built. However, some hurdles still

remain at the national level when it comes to development of a national BWM strategy, national legislation

and institutional framework to implement the BWM Convention. As noted during the GPTF in 2010 and the

ExCom meeting in 2011, while several LPCs have come a long way in their national level processes, the

indications are that for some countries this process will take considerably more time than was originally

envisaged. One reason is the continued delays at the international level in finalizing the BWM Port State

Control procedures, uncertainties related to the ballast water sampling and monitoring methods, a yet to be

fully matured ballast water treatment technology market and most importantly the global economic crisis that

significantly shifted priorities when it comes to implementation of marine environmental protection regulatory

regimes, not to mention the pressure from regulated industry community on flag states to buy in more

preparatory time for implementation of the Convention.

14 The attached draft work plan, developed by the PCU, takes into consideration the remaining priorities

of the project and the proposal above for an extended timeline. The remaining priorities of the project are

listed below in Annex 1 and are also graphically presented in Figure 1. It is also suggested that some of the

activities originally captured in the ProDoc may need to be revisited and revised, considering the latest

developments in the field. The GPTF meeting will also be invited to discuss if there are other barriers, not

captured in the initial Project Document, that need additional attention to ensure the success of the Project.

15 In summary, in order to sustain the momentum at national level and to continue building the technical

and institutional capacity, the project will focus on the following areas in the years to come:

Global level

Finalisation and distribution of guidelines for Port Biological Baseline Surveys

Development of guidelines for risk assessment

Development of a manual/guideline for sediment reception facilities

Development of a Global Marine Electronic Information System, including an on-line version of the

GloBallast Risk Assessment tool (with TUBITAK, Turkey)

Updating of the Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement training package to include issues of

sampling as per guidance being developed at IMO

Continued partnership with the industry through the GIA

Regional level

Implementation of Regional Strategies, and incorporation into regional seas convention frameworks

Regional training on risk assessment in all regions

National level

Finalisation of national assessments, strategy developments and legislation drafting in remaining

LPCs

Outreach to pilot countries (“twinning”) and transfer of experiences from LPCs to PCs

National training on Compliance Monitoring and Enforcement (including sampling)

16 Annex 2 below provides a more detailed outline of the priority activities during 2013-2016, and the

full draft work plan can be found in Annex 3. For Annex 3 it should be noted that a number of activities would

- 90 -


need to be continued throughout the duration of the Project, whereas some activities have been fully

implemented in the past.

Action Requested of the GPTF

17 The GPTF is requested to review the document and endorse the revised timeline and work plan for

2013-2016, subject to the formal approval by the ExCom and the subsequent Budget Revision E (expected

early 2013).

1 The Project Management Activities and Monitoring and Evaluation activities are combined with OUTCOME 1 in the log-framework. Costs associated with these items are now separately shown in this

table under Project Management and Outcome 5, respectively. 2 The personnel cost under Project Management Unit component represents only the costs associated with the project administration activities by the Project Coordination Unit. Costs associated with the

technical experts (CTA and TA), who will deliver most of the technical outcomes, are incorporated within the International Consultants components. 3 The travel costs are primarily for PCU staff for the purpose of project management, administration and for outreach activities. Travel costs for technical workshops, training events and travel costs for

international Consultants are incorporated within the local and international consultant components, unless specified otherwise. 4 The PCU time is captured as costs distributed between all Project Outcomes. 5 The cash co-financing that has already been mobilized amounts to USD6,679,000 (as of 30 June 2011, see Mid Term Evaluation)

ANNEX 8 List of Priority Activities

2013-2016

During group discussions at the 3rd GPTF the following activities were identified by the LPCs and RCOs as priority actions needed to meet the objectives of the Project, and the implementation of the Convention at regional and national level. Global level

update the introductory training course (activity 2.1.1), in particular to make it more country- and region-specific;

update CME training package, in particular to include a module on sampling;

support to RCOs, PCs and LPCs for biennium R&D Forum (activity 5.1.1);

more emphasis on awareness and outreach and lack of logistics at national level (activity 5.1.2);

harmonization of best practices between regions (e.g. PERSGA twinning); and

new website with better access to global, regional and national level data.

Regional level

Regional strategy plan;

more focus on assisting the implementation of the regional strategy and global information system (activity 1.1.4);

twinning on inter-regional basis, not only regional basis;

regional risk assessments, e.g. an allocation for each RCO to carry out risk assessment in their region. Further support (e.g. from UNEP?) could be mobilized;

stakeholders workshop: support needed for LPCs (activity 2.4.3);

improving the link between regional activities and the national level; and

enforcement of the trans-boundary agreements.

National level

training of PSCOs. Here, twinning between LPCs or LPC to PC on the PSC issue was suggested, even including secondment of PSCOs;

training for sampling (see global level, updating CME package);

support of NTFs;

twinning between the RCOs will be beneficial;

financial resources ;

provide report format and timetable for national reporting;

more focus on PCs in the future years = twinning and national capacity building activities;

replicate on national scale the GIA concept, i.e. national GIA with shipping industry and ship owners, need for more awareness;

engage the ROs : type approval process - flag state implementation;

work with marine environment protection agencies; and

rapid assessment: PCs need additional support (activity 2.2.2).

Reporting The meeting identified that there is a need to improve the reporting both within regions and between the PCU and the RCOs/LPCs. Several suggestions were identified:

more regular meetings between RCOs: Skype, videoconference or MEPC meeting, OPRC-HNS TG;

PCU providing a summary of activities on an annual basis; and

RCOs to request status reports form the LPCs on the implementation of the ratification;

quite possibly a quarterly reporting could be achieved, if a web-based system is implemented. Such a reporting system should be clearly linked to the regional strategies; and

Venezuela offered to take the lead on the development of a web-based form for reporting.

Region-specific comments GCLME:

4 countries were identified as possibly in need of the most assistance: Guinea Bissau, Sao Tome, Equatorial Guinea and Angola. Here, increased efforts on twinning would be useful.

REMPEC:

One issue would be how to engage EU – Med Sea Member States in the implementation of the regional strategy (funds through the UNEP/MAP MTF budget were previously provided for the RTF meetings and capacity building activities). However, GEF funds cannot cover EU countries and a solution for funding may need to be looked into.

SPREP:

The issue of PBBS training at national level would be of interest for the countries in the SPREP region.

REMPEITC:

LPCs are progressing well, moving towards ratification. However, further support to other countries of the region in order to encourage flag states with large tonnage to ratify should be a priority;

There is also a need to harmonize between the 5 LPCs, with mutual support and twinning;

In addition the region has many other stakeholders (non GEF countries) making regional harmonization difficult in the WCAR;

The issue of sediment reception facilities was also raised; and

The dialogue in the region between the ministers of transport.
