The workshop focused on the implementation of the Agreement from the policy, legal, institutional, capacity development, and operations standpoints. Following a short introduction, participants were briefed on the status of the Agreement in the Latin American and Caribbean region and were informed that two countries of this region, namely Chile and Uruguay, had already ratified the Agreement. The need to implement the Agreement, both at the global and the regional levels, was stressed. Key provisions for the implementation of the Agreement were highlighted at the workshop along with the role of Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) in supporting implementation of port State measures. The questionnaire that had bee n distributed to participating countries in advance of the workshop, with the purpose of improving their understanding of present practices, procedures and legal frameworks of countries in the region on port State measures, was analysed to ensure that recommendations to be made for the region were based on a sound knowledge basis. The role of fisheries managers and inspectors in implementing the Agreement was also highlighted. Participatory activities in working groups were conducted which led t o the formulation of recommendations both at the regional and national levels. Opportunities for regional cooperation among countries were also addressed. The evaluation of the workshop by the participants was positive. Funding for the workshop was provided by the Norwegian Government through the project "Support to the effective application of 2009 FAO Agreement on port State measures to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing" (GCP/GLO/515/NOR). -
Book (stand-alone)Implementation of Port State measures 2016The entry into force of the FAO Agreement on Port State Measures to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing on 5 June 2016 reflected the successful culmination of global efforts to combat IUU fishing by setting harmonized minimum standards for measures to be taken at port. It targets IUU fishing and fishing related activities in support of such fishing, and its reach extends to areas within and beyond national jurisdiction. Many RFMOs and some countries hav e been active in preparing for entry into force, but the development and adoption of national implementing legislation has become imperative. At regional level, several RFMOs have adopted various requirements and minimum standards of the FAO Agreement in conservation and management measures (CMMs) that are legally binding on their members. In 2010, the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) adopted Resolution 10/11 on Port State measures that is almost identical to the FAO Agreement. Other RFMO CM Ms vary in the extent of implementation of its requirements, as described in this document. There is ongoing review and strengthening of the CMMs relating to Port State measures within many RFMOs, in part encouraged by their performance reviews. This document focuses on the implementation of two legal instruments - the FAO Agreement and IOTC Resolution – which, as noted above, are almost identical. Together, they are legally binding on a wide range of countries. At national level, the process of preparing for entry into force of the FAO Agreement, as well as implementation of relevant RFMO CMMs, has been challenging for many countries. The objective of this document is twofold: to meet those challenges by providing generic legislative templates for the development of national legislation; and to explain broader context of Port State measures. Legislative templates are provided for implementing the core and supporting provisions respectively; they are generic, and can be adapted to d ifferent legal systems, institutions and instruments. The core provisions are those implemented directly from the FAO Agreement, and as appropriate the IOTC Resolution, and the supporting provisions are those that relate to areas such as enforcement information and evidence. The latter reflect best practices and are important for backstopping aspects of the core provisions; they may already be in national fisheries legislation or may be used for strengthening existing provisions. Explanatory not es are given for each core and supporting provision. In order that the broader context of Port State measures can be better understood as national legislation is developed, this document also describes the development of Port State measures, a framework for national procedures and the role of RFMOs.

Also available in:
Organisation des Nations Unies pour l’Agriculture et l’Alimentation (FAO) a récemment élaboré et adopté l’Accord relatif aux mesures du ressort de l’Etat du port visant à prévenir, contrecarrer et éliminer la pêche illicite, non déclarée et non réglementée (Accord MREP), un instrument juridique contraignant de référence qui botte en touche le profit économique attendu de cette pêche.Le présent article est, par essence, un appel indépendant aux personnes concernées et aux Etats en vue d’assu rer la rapide ratification de cet accord vital ainsi que l’immédiate application de ses dispositions dans le cadre de la lutte soutenue contre la pêche INDNR. A cette fin, il passe en revue les dispositions opératives de l’Accord ; chaque fois qu’app roprié, des exemples de législation nationale illustrent l’exposé, démontrant ainsi que l’Accord MREP fournit le cadre central nécessaire à des législations nationales effectives de mise en œuvre ou que les dispositions législatives existant déj à peuvent ê tre utilisées afin de mettre en œuvre certains aspects de l’Accord MREP. L’article prend fin par une exhortation des Etats à ratifier rapidement et à mettre en œuvre ledit Accord. Le contexte des négociations ainsi que l’adoption de l’Accord MREP sont prés entés brièvement pour étayer l’analyse et souligner la nécessité de mettre immédiatement en œuvre cet Accord.
