 this Convention, to cooperate with each other in taking appropriate and effective meas- 

 ures and accordingly agree as follows: 



(a) ^Vhen a fishing vessel of a Contracting Party has been found in waters in which

 visions of this Convention, the duly authorized officials of any Contracting 

 Party may board such vessel to inspect its equipment, books, documents, and 

 other articles and question the persons on board. 



Such officials shall present credentials issued by their respective Governments if 

 requested by the master of the vessel. 



(b) When any such person or fishing vessel is actually engaged in operations in

 believe was obviously so engaged immediately prior to boarding of such vessel 

 by any such official, the latter may arrest or seize such person or vessel. In that 

 case, the Contracting Party to which the official belongs shall notify the Con-

 and shall deliver such vessel or persoir as promptly as practicable to the author- 

 ized officials of the Contracting Party to which such vessel or person belongs at 

 a place to be agreed upon by both Parties. Provided, however, that when the 

 Contracting Party which receives such notification cannot immediately accept 

 delivery and makes request, the Coirtractiirg Party which gives such notification 

 may keep such person or vessel under surveillance within its own territory, 

 under the conditions agreed upon by both of the Contracting Parties. 



(c) Only the authorities of the Party to which the above-mentioned person or 

 fishing vessel belongs may try the offense and iiripose penalties therefor. The 

 witnesses and evidence necessary for establishing the offense, so far as they are 

 under the control of any of the Parties to this Convention, shall be furnished 

 as promptly as possible to the Contracting Party having jurisdiction to try the 

 offense. 



2. AVith regard to the nationals or fishing vessels of one or more Contracting Parties 

 in waters wath respect to which they have agreed to continue to carry out conservation 

 measures for certain stocks of fish in accordance with the provisions of this Convention, 

 the Contracting Parties concerned shall carry out enforcement severally or jointly. In 

 that case, the Contracting Parties concerned agree to report periodically through the 

 Commission to the Contracting Party which has agreed to abstain from the exploitation 

 of such stocks of fish on the enforcement conditions, and also, if requested, to provide 

 opportunity for observation of the conduct of enforcement.
