WG6.5 Objective (16/10/2006)

1. The objective of this policy is to facilitate a high quality FCFV fleet to complement the New Zealand fishing industry.
2. To ensure this objective is met:
   1. work permits for crew of FCFVs will be granted only where officers are satisfied the NZCP and the FCP will comply with the requirements specified for such activity; and
   2. a high standard of proof is required to satisfy officers that such requirements and the requirements of the policy will be and are being met; and
   3. In making such a determination, officers may consider the compliance history and particular arrangements (including crew recruitment practices) of individuals associated with the NZCP and the FCP; and
   4. permission to use foreign labour will be withdrawn and further permission refused where there is any breach of requirements other than of a minor nature.

Effective 16/10/2006
