The contracting parties and cooperating non-contracting parties (CPCs) that have communicated their intention to participate in the pilot project should communicate among themselves in order to identify opportunities for the exchange of inspectors and ascertain when their inspection activities will be carried out. The participating CPCs should report on any activities carried out under the pilot project to the GFCM Secretariat, on an annual basis, at least 30 days before the session of the Compliance Committee.
