Bluefin tuna quota talks have been going back and forth between Japan and China since 2006. In 2012, after a series of meetings with the governments of Japan and Japan’s neighbors, Japan agreed to CDC 철도청 카지노boost its tuna output by 18 percent, and China agreed to raise its quota by 7 percent.

In 2012, Japan agreed to increase the quota of tuna that can be sold and consumed for five years (from 1,500 tons in 2011) and to allow two more years’ extra growth for catch-and-release fishing. In addition, the fishing industry announced that it would invest $350 million in tuna processing plants that would have two times the capacity than in 2011—about 30 times more than was planned.

The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS), a group of independent arbitrators of law that has heard the international disputes between Japan and China, ruled that the Japanese government’s fisheries protection measures were lawful. However, “The court took into account that [in the tuna case] there was clear and undisputed evidence that the use of the [the fleet of Japanese vessels] for catching tuna for distribution, as well as for purposes of the law, was not in the public interest, and therefore not permissible,” said the panel, according to the Daily Mail.

Japan’s Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, called the court’s ruling “an important, fair, and well-considered verdict that ensures that Japan’s fishing fleets will remain within the limits set by the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea.”

The Chinese government, however, has taken a somewhat different view of the ruling: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, “We appeal to all countries to join u
