Men der er stadig udestående spørgsmål, f.eks. de ekstraterritoriale klausuler, som gør det muligt for den canadiske regering at foretage inspektioner, kontrol og opbringning uden for deres egne territorialfarvande, i rum sø, hvilket er i modstrid med de internationale bestemmelser, og hvor man for ofte tyer til en vilkårlig anvendelse af kontrollerne inden for rammen af NAFO.
However, there are still outstanding questions, such as the extraterritorial clauses, which allow the Canadian Government to carry out inspections, controls and seizures beyond their national waters, in open sea, which is incompatible with international provisions and which, all too frequently, involves the arbitrary application of controls within the framework of the NAFO.
