  1. Project ERFEN on El Niño Mr. VILLANUEVA Rogelio International Affairs Director Peruvian Marine Research Institute

  2. First of all, I would like to express my thanks to the organizers of this SECOND APEC - OMISAR WORKSHOP ON OCEAN MODELS, specially to the State Oceanic Administration of the People’s Republic of China; please accept my gratitude for giving me the opportunity to be here in this wonderful city of Beijing. My short statement has two main objectives; the first, is to use this important technical scientific Workshop to say a few words about the next Marine Resource Conservation Working Group Meeting. As you may know, during the 12th Meeting of the APEC Marine Resource Conservation Working Group, held in Cairns

  3. Australia, my Institution THE PERUVIAN RESEARCH INSTITUTE, on behalf of Peru, offered to host the 13th Meeting of the APEC Marine Resource Conservation Working Group, next year. In accordance with official information provided by the APEC Secretariat, The APEC Senior Officials agreed that the MRC and APEC Fisheries Working Group (FWG) should further pursue efforts to coordinate their activities, in order to avoid duplication of efforts. This statement has, in fact, excluded the possibility of amalgamating MRC and FWG as proposed earlier.

  4. This decision was further endorsed by the APEC Ministers during their meeting in Auckland, last September; ”so in light of the above-mentioned decision”, I am very glad to inform here that we are already starting the preliminary internal arrangements for the 13th MRC, to be held in Peru in 2000. Of course, I am very proud to be here to invite all of you, representatives of the APEC economies members, to attend that fore coming meeting. I should mention that; although, the week connecting May and June 2000 has been proposed for the meeting, we have been notified that the date may need to be adjusted a little bit.

  5. The second objective of my statement is to present an special Peruvian effort to monitor and forecast “El Niño” phenomenon, with the financial support of the World Bank. This is a multisectorial Project, which in some way has been made a reality due to the fact that, framed by the CPPS - South Pacific Permanent Commission, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru are engaged in a Regional Project named ERFEN (Spanish acronym for “El Niño” phenomenon regional study). The following constitutes part of my presentation, based on that of Vice-Admiral (r) Luis A. Giampietri (President of the Board of Directors of IMARPE), before the Multisectorial Committee in charge of the Study of “El Niño” Phenomenon - ENFEN, last September.
