    The main purpose of these Technical Guidelines is to provide general advice in support of implementation of Articles 11.2 “Responsible international trade” and 11.3 “Laws and regulations relating to fish trade”, of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries. These guidelines assist in the further dissemination, understanding and implementation of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries worldwide. The guidelines are particularly important for two reasons: i) fish and fish produ cts are among the most traded agricultural and food commodities with more than one-third of production entering international trade. This makes it especially important to ensure that all those involved in the sector operate according to the same set of rules; and ii) trade in fish and fish products is also very important for developing countries. Fifty percent of international trade in fish and fish products originates from developing countries. This is an important source of revenue , employment and foreign exchange for these countries.

COFI:FT noted that the guidelines should further reflect the current environment of international trade in fish products and the dynamic nature of trade, requiring an approach which is forward looking and pro-active. Sustainability of fisheries, illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing (IUU), and post-harvest practices were also important factors to be considered. The purpose of this Expert Consultation was to revise these guidelines taking into account the comments made by COFI:FT. The Expert Consultation agreed that the guidelines should provide practical advice to members on all matters relevant to sustainable fisheries and responsible trade in fish an d fish products. It was also recommended that relevant articles in the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries should be revisited to reflect developments in the regulatory framework governing trade in fish and fish products that occurred since the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries was enacted.
