    The content of the brochure presents an overview of the Legal template "Implementation of Port State Measures - Legislative template, framework for procedures, role of regional fisheries management organizations", which provides a legislative template and related information for use by port States, as appropriate, to facilitate initial steps, and can be adapted to different legal systems, institutions and instruments. The objective is twofold: to meet those challenges by providing generic legisl ative templates for the development of national legislation; and to explain broader context of port State measures. It also introduces a framework for procedures, and explains the role of RFMOs, including CMMs for tuna and other select RFMOs.

    The FAO Agreement of Port State Measures to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (the PSMA) was approved by the FAO Conference at its Thirty-sixth Session under paragraph 1 of Article XIV of the FAO Constitution. The Agreement, which is binding on the Parties, entered into force on 5 June 2016. As of 17 February 2017, there were 42 Parties to the Agreement, including the European Union. Whilst this represents a major achievement in the global effort to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, the Parties to the PSMA should now work together towards its effective implementation, including by encouraging the non-Parties to adhere to the Agreement.

    The purpose of this Manual is to assist IOTC Members and Cooperating Non-Contracting Parties in achieving a better understanding of the actions that they need to take under the IOTC, by providing an overview of the Conservation and Management Measures (CMM’s) entailing active reporting requirements. The content is divided into six chapters. The first chapter provides a broad overview of the IOTC Resolutions and Conservation and Management measures adopted by the IOTC. The second chapter provides a detailed description of the requirements from the CPCs arising from the CMMs in relation to the main roles that CPCs play with regards to Coastal State responsibility. The third Chapter describes requirements and responsibilities of CPCs as Flag States. The fourth chapter describes requirements and responsibilities of CPCs as Port States. The fifth chapter describes requirements and responsibilities of CPCs as Market States. The sixth chapter describes the cross-cutting CMMS and duties under basic texts. This manual should be viewed as a living document that can be revised and improved by all parties as experience is expanded in the implementation of the IOTC Conservation and Management Measures.
