According to Judge Yusuf, the JARPA II programme was duly reviewed and commented by the Scientific Committee of the IWC in 2005 in accordance with Article VIII, paragraph 30, of the Schedule and the applicable guidelines (now Annex P) with regard to its methodology, design, and the effect of catches on the population concerned. In other instances, where the committee was of the view that a permit proposal did not meet its criteria, it specifically recommended that the permit should not be issued. This was not the case with regard to JARPA II.
