RECOMMENDATION VI-8 

 PERMITS FOR ENTRY TO SPECIALLY PROTECTED AREAS 



The Representatives, 



Recalling Article VIII of the Agreed Measures for the Conservation 

 of Antarctic Fauna and Flora annexed to Recommendation III- VIII 

 ("the Agreed Measures") and the need to conform with paragraph 

 4(a) of that Article; 



Considering that, in order to be effective, the existing prohibitions 

 and measures of protection relating to Specially Protected Areas need 

 to be strengthened ; 



Recommend to their Governments that : 



1. They use their best endeavours to ensure compliance with those 

 provisions of the Agreed Measures which relate to Specially Protected 

 Areas; 



2. They take such action as may be appropriate to prohibit the entry 

 by their nationals into a Specially Protected Area, except in accord- 

 ance with a permit issued under Articles VI and VIII of the Agreed 

 Measures ; 



3. Until such time as this Recommendation may become effective in 

 accordance with Article IX of the Antarctic Treaty, it shall, as far as 

 feasible, be considered as a guide-line. 



RECOMMENDATION VI-9 

 DATA ON THE CONSERVATION OF FAUNA AND FLORA 



The Representatives, 



Recalling Recommendations III-X and IV-19 ; 



(1) information is already being exchanged in accordance with the 

 interim guide-lines contained in Recommendation IV-20 ; 



(2) this information may be freely published and it is desirable 

 that it should be amalgamated in the form most useful for scientific 

 analysis ; 



Recommend to their Governments that : 



1. They transmit the information exchanged under Recommenda- 

 tion IV-19 to their National Antarctic Committees ; 



^ The United States approved Recommendations VI-8 and VI-9 on July 25, 1972. 

 Those Recommendations are not yet effective under art. IX (4) of the Antarctic 

 Treaty. Recommendation VI-10 is to be considered an interim guideline in accord- 

 ance with Recommendation III-IX (TIAS 6058 ; 17 UST 994) .
