Abstract

This Recommendation lays down rules for the establishment of a list of vessels presumed to have carried out IUU fishing in the GFCM area of application in order to address, as a matter of priority, the issue of large-scale fishing vessels conducting IUU fishing activities. This Recommendation shall apply to the fishing vessels flying the flag of a non-contracting party, contracting party or cooperating non-contracting party that are presumed to have carried out IUU fishing activities in the GFCM area of application, as well as to the fishing vessels flying the flag of a contracting party or cooperating non-contracting party that undertake activities in contravention of GFCM conservation and management measures. This Recommendation sets forth provisions on the transmission of information on presumed IUU fishing activities by the contracting parties or cooperating non-contracting parties to the GFCM Executive Secretariat and the procedures for drafting, evaluation and approval of the IUU vessel list in accordance with these information provided.
