The Sixteenth Session of the Coordinating Working Party on Fishery Statistics (CWP) considered that there is a need to supply existing and prospective participating organizations with information about the structure and functions of the CWP, and requested the Secretariat to prepare a paper by updating a working paper entitled "The Role and Structure of the CWP" (Doc. CWP-16/23). Since that working paper was written, new Statutes and Rules of Procedure have been adopted and these are included.
