Résumé

This Recommendation of the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM), This Recommendation of the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM), reaffirming the principles of the FAO code of conduct for responsible fisheries and recalling Recommendation GFCM/32/2008/1 on a regional scheme on port state measures to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishery activities in the GFCM area of application, requires contracting parties and cooperating non-contracting parties of the GFCM (CPCs) to adopt as a priority appropriate control measures to evaluate, prevent, deter and, to the extent possible, eliminate IUU fishing for turbot in the Black Sea. Active vessels operating in the Black Sea targeting turbot shall be authorized to carry out specific fishing activities only insofar as they are indicated in a valid fishing authorization, which shall specify the technical conditions under which those activities could be exerted (see Annex I). The CPCs shall maintain an updated register of those fishing authorizations and communicate relevant information to GFCM. The CPCs shall progressively ensure that all bottom-set gillnets operating in the turbot fishery are clearly identified. A database of the common codifications used by all riparian states shall be created. Prohibits regarding the use of gillnets are introduced. It shall be prohibited to land or transship from fishing vessels any quantity of turbot fished in GSA 29 at any other place than the landing points designated by the CPCs, in accordance with this Recommendation. National MCS plans for the implementation of the provisions of this recommendation shall be established by the CPCs, taking into account the elements listed in Annex II and ensuring, inter alia, a proper and accurate monitoring and recording of the monthly catches and/or fishing effort deployed. Communication and awareness-raising plans related to the fight against IUU fishing in turbot fisheries will be established among stakeholders and the general public in order to make the problems of IUU fishing better known and effective participation of stakeholders, including women and fisheries organizations, shall be supported through access to information and education. Also, diversification activities by fishers who seek to engage in non-fishing activities shall be encouraged.
