#ISA31 Council members turn their attention to the standards & guidelines that will accompany the #deepseamining regulations, discussing their scope and sequencing of adoption. #OceanGovernance
At #ISA31, Council members consider #deepseamining regulation relating to confidentiality of information; many call for strong safeguards without overly broad exemptions that could weaken enforcement. #oceangovernance
#ISA31 Council debates scope of #deepseamining regulations: should they apply to all mineral resources in the Area or only polymetallic nodules? Some favor the latter option while others support a general framework, with resource-specific details to follow in standards & guidelines. #oceangovernance
At #ISA31, Council members examine key definitions of “incident” and “notifiable events,” stressing their importance for reporting thresholds and response obligations in #deepseamining regulations. Members broadly agree that the two must remain clearly distinct. #oceangovernance
At #ISA31, some Council members stress that adopting regulations does not mean a green light for #deepseamining, calling for safeguards in the text; others argue such provisions are unnecessary, repetitive or belong outside the regulations. #oceangovernance
At #ISA31, Council members debate whether #deepseamining should only begin once strict conditions are met: adoption of full standards & guidelines, confirmation of scientific evidence that marine env't will be protected from harmful effects & respect for broader ocean commitments. #oceangovernance
