dc.descriptionThe FAO Committee on Fisheries (COFI) agreed in March 2001 on an international plan of action (IPOA) to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. The plan may be considered as a toolbox from which States may choose relevant measures to implement into domestic legislation. A joint FAO/IMO Working Group on IUU fishing met in October 2000 and agreed that FAO in cooperation with relevant organizations should consider the need to develop measures for port State c ontrol related to the management of fisheries resources. In order to facilitate possible future developments in this field, FAO convened in November 2002 an Expert Consultation to Review Port State Measures to Combat IUU Fishing. The present document draws on the experiences of IMO in developing port State control regimes with respect to vessel safety and pollution prevention standards and equipment. It looks into the reasons for the adoption of port State measures under the auspices of an agree ment or a memorandum of understanding at regional level and into the means for achieving a transparent and efficient system. The paper further discusses elements of a possible Memorandum including possible actions by port States.
