Abstract

This Resolution designates the Government Department responsible for the Fisheries Sector to oversee the implementation of the Fisheries Transparency Initiative (FiTI). The Government, aware that the country's policy on sustainable exploitation, rational management, participatory governance and transparency in the exploitation of fisheries resources is fully aligned with the objectives and principles of the Fisheries Transparency Initiative (FiTI), is convinced that fisheries has great economic, social, cultural, recreational and leisure importance for the country. Whereas FiTI is a global and voluntary initiative that helps to solve problems that affect the fisheries sector, also encouraging the fight against corruption and illegal, unreported and unregulated fisheries, the Government decided to apply for membership in FiTI and committed to promote, defend and enforce its standards.
