It will be able to provide advice under the precautionary approach. It will be able to provide advice under a wide range of ecosystem approach considerations. Those are strong scientific aspects to consider. The fact that it has been recognized as an equal constituent body and will be able to carry out its work independently and provide clear, transparent scientific advice within the organization of NAFO is important. Operationally, all the rights of the Scientific Council to participate in its work are clearly guaranteed under the new convention. I don't see any concerns from that perspective in the convention amendments. In fact, I see some things on which the Scientific Council will now be requested to provide information that were not the case under the old system.
So yes, I think it's a positive development in many ways.
