    Report of the Technical Consultation on Voluntary Guidelines for Transshipment
    Rome, 30 May–3 June and 7 July 2022
    2022
    Also available in:
    The Technical Consultation on Voluntary Guidelines for Transshipment was held in person and virtually from 30 May to 3 June 2022, and resumed in virtual mode on 7 July 2022. It was attended by 63 FAO Members and by 18 FAO Observers. The Technical Consultation considered the draft voluntary guidelines for transshipment, as concluded by an Expert Consultation on Voluntary Guidelines for Transshipment (virtual mode, 11-15 October and 3 November 2021), as a good basis for the discussions. The Technical Consultation successfully completed the review of the draft and adopted the Voluntary Guidelines for Transshipment which address the regulation, monitoring and control of transshipment of fish, which have not been previously landed, whether processed or not. The objective of the Voluntary Guidelines is to provide assistance to States, RFMO/As, regional economic integration organizations and other intergovernmental organizations when developing new transshipment regulations, revising existing regulations and integrating these within the broader regulatory framework.
