Summary
Driftnet Moratorium Enforcement Act of 1991 - Directs the President to certify to the Congress each country (defining "country" as the Republic of Korea, Japan, and Taiwan) that: (1) has not notified the United States that it will cease large-scale driftnet fishing by a certain date; and (2) has not, by that date, ceased such fishing. Deems certification that a country has failed to give notice of its intent to cease driftnet fishing to be a certification under the Fishermen's Protective Act of 1967 (allowing banning importation of fish products). Directs the President, if a country fails to cease driftnet fishing by the deadline, to prohibit the bringing or importation of fish and fish products from the country. Authorizes the President to impose additional economic sanctions (including duties, import bans, or restrictions, and fees or restrictions on services) if: (1) the U.S. ban on fish imports is insufficient to stop large-scale driftnet fishing; (2) the country engages in such fishing after the deadline; or (3) a country retaliates as a result of a U.S. ban on fish imports. Continues the fish import ban or additional sanctions until the country completely ceases large-scale driftnet fishing.
