Such measures include prohibition of violation of laws and regulations of the other Parties concerning stowage of gear, fishing without authorization and obstruction or resistance to law enforcement (art. I). The Parties shall consult concerning effective penalties, accuracy and consistency of navigational aids and standard fisheries law enforcement practices in the vicinity of maritime boundaries (art. II). Parties shall inform fishermen of expected fisheries law enforcement practices of the other Party (art. III).
