If the ICCAT Executive Secretary notifies a fisheries administration of a possible violation by United Kingdom fishing vessels of Article 7(2) and Article 14(1) and (2), that fisheries administration must immediately investigate the situation and, if the vessel is fishing in association with objects that could affect fish aggregation, including FAD, must request the vessel to stop fishing and, if necessary, leave the area without delay. The fisheries administration concerned must without delay report to the ICCAT Secretariat the results of its investigation and the corresponding measures taken.
