Hon DAVID PARKER: On behalf of the Minister: as I've previously said, it's important that this goal, which is the protection in areas beyond national jurisdiction, is achieved in a way that doesn't undermine existing rules and institutions, including the likes of the Antarctic Treaty, and that it properly factors in Māori interests and supports Pacific aspirations. That said, the current mandate does not explicitly refer to the 30 percent target, but Cabinet will be considering that before the next round of the negotiations in the next few months.
