Book Description
This publication contains the report of an FAO meeting, held in Bergen, Norway in October 2004, to discuss implementation of the International Plan of Action to Deter, Prevent and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (IPOA-IUU). The meeting made a number of recommendations for more effective harmonisation and exchange of fishing vessel information. Topics covered at this meeting include: fishing vessel monitoring system reporting procedures; licences and fishing authorisations; exchange of catch certificates and trade documents; electronic fishing logbooks; progress made by the Co-ordinating Working Party on Fishery Statistics (CWP); the use of Customs Tariff Codes; and linkages with traceability and ecolabelling.
