8.1.1 Infractions reports from Contracting Governmenfs
8.1.1．条約加盟国政府による違反報告
No infractions were reported from aboriginal subsistence
whaling operations and no commercial whaling infractions
reports were received for 1993 (the only commercial
whaling was that carried out by Norway).
Discussion of the case considered iast year from St.
Vincent and The Grenadines involving a small animal led
to the suggestion that the Technical Committee should
consider whether the Schedule should include definition of
a calf.
Responding to requests for information on reports of
large quantities of whale meat discovered in Vladivostok,
apparently from Taiwan and intended for illegal shipment
to Japan, the Russian Federation outlined its investigations
into this matter. With the assistance of the USA
authorities, DNA analyses were being conducted to
determine the species of whale meat involved and the
results would be provided when available. Japan also
described the strenuous efforts it was undertaking to
investigate this matter and, more generally, to prevent the
illegal smuggling of whale meat into its territory. It stressed
it would continue to enforce anti-smuggling laws and
regulations strictly in collaboration among the government
agencies concerned and to report all relevant information
to the Commission.
Norway reported that a seizure of whale meat at Oslo
airport in October 1993 was still under investigation and
represented a violation of domestic law, not IWC
regulations. The Republic of Korea said it had no specifìc
information on this matter, but it has a long record of being
strict on enforcing its anti-smuggling laws and in
cooperating with other governments on such issues.
　 Japan stated that it was presently collecting information
on a sperm whale head reported washed ashore, but it
seemed most likely that the whale had either been caught
accidentally in a coastal set-net fishery or had become
stranded.
