COOPERATION IN IMPLEMENTING ARTICLE VI OF THE 



AGREED MEASURES FOR THE CONSERVATION OF ANTARCTIC 



FAUNA AND FLORA 



(Recommendation III - VIII) 



The Representatives, taking into consideration Article VI of the 

 Agreed Measures for the Conservation of Antarctic Fauna and Flora 

 (Recommendation III-VIII), recommend to their Governments that 

 in cases where expeditions of more than one Participating Govern- 

 ment may be working in the same region of the Treaty Area, the 

 Governments involved should arrange to cooperate as far as practi- 

 cable in limiting the issuance of permits in accordance with Article 

 VI to ensure that the total number of native mammals and birds 

 killed or captured accords with the requirements of paragraphs 4 

 and 7 (b) of Article VI and paragraph 4 (b) of Article VIII of 

 the Agreed Measures.

IMPLEMENTATION OF ARTICLE XII (1) (d) OF THE 

 AGREED MEASURES 



The Representatives recommend to their Governments that for the 

 effective implementation of the provisions of Article XII of the 

 Agreed Measures for the Conservation of Antarctic Fauna and Flora, 

 documents exchanged annually by Participating Governments on 

 the matters set down in paragraph 1 (a) of that Article should 

 follow the pattern of the form annexed hereto. 



Recognizing the role of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic 

 Research (SCAR) as defined in Recommendation I-IV, the Repre- 

 sentatives further welcome the decision of SCAR to study the status 

 of species, their need for protection and numbers of each species which 

 might be harvested for food, study or other uses, as outlined ip para- 

 graph 1 (b) and (c) of Article XII of the Agreed Measures.
