Allow me to express my satisfaction for the opportunity to continuing and strengthen the fruitful dialogue started two years ago in Cebu, Philippines, at the June 1994, Conference of the International Collective in Support of Fishworkers entitled The Struggle of Fishworkers: New Concerns for Support. I had then the opportunity to present the elaboration of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and the importance for your involvement in the process of its formulation. During this period o f intensive and collaborative work, several meetings were held in Rome in which NGOs played a very active role. FAO was much reworded by the recognition of the participants, of the transparency of the process which facilitated the dialogue and building up of confidence among State members, IGO, NGO to reach agreement on a text of a Code which, though not perfect, has all necessary tools to contribute to ensure responsible fisheries.
