Synopsis (short abstract) The Twentieth Session of the Committee on Fisheries held from 15 to 19 March 1993 gave unanimous support to FAO initiating the elaboration of a Code of Conduct on Responsible Fishing and endorsed the proposed possible content, priorities and time-frame for its elaboration and adoption. The Committee recommended that in elaborating the Code, priority should be given to the sections on Fishing Operations, Fair Trade Practices, Aquaculture, Development and Integration of Coastal Fisheries in Coastal Area and Management. The Committee expressed satisfaction that FAO would contribute to the forthcoming UN Conference on Straddling Stocks and Highly Migratory Fish Species and assist the Secretariat of the Conference on technical issues. A Working Group was established by the Committee to deal with the issue of Flagging of Vessels Fishing on the High Seas, but the Committee agreed that a further technical meeting was required in order to finalize a Draft Agreement on that issue. The Committee endorsed the action proposed as a follow-up to the International Study on Fishery Research Needs of Developing Countries (SIFR) including the reconstitution of the Advisoiy Committee on Marine Resources Research (ACMRR) as the Advisory Committee on Fisheries Research (ACFR). A substantive technical debate took place on the situation of world fisheries ten years after the adoption of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and specifically highlighted some of th e issues affecting the sustainable development of fisheries and aquaculture. The Committee reviewed progress in implementing both the regular and field programmes of FAO in fisheries noting the importance of regional collaboration in the development and management of fisheries, as well as the protection of environment. The Committee endorsed the medium-term perspectives 1994-99 and the Programme of Work and Budget in Fisheries for 1994-95.
