Synopsis (short abstract) International charter contracts have been executed in the past in West Africa. A number of these did not achieve their goals and were not therefore satisfactory. In order that this should not be repeated and good use be made of the experience accrued, the Government of Cape Verde has requested the project GCP/RAF/302/EEC "Improvement of the legal framework for fisheries cooperation, management and development of coastal states of West Africa" to make a review of the fisheries of Cape Verde and l ay down policy guidelines that could be easily followed by Cape Verdean companies wishing to charter fishing vessels. This report lays out the various options available to the Government for the development of their industrial fisheries. In particular it studies charter arrangements and identifies required information prior to the signing of a charter contract by both parties. Many notes and recommendations have been made to ensure that the operation of the vessels should be smooth and efficient . Examples of letters and contracts have been included in Annexes to this report to enable the Cape Verdeans to prepare their own specific and suitable contract to fit each individual situation.

    This compendium replaces the earlier compendium for the western Pacific region published by FAO in 1984. It differs slightly from its predecessor in that it contains a description at the beginning of each country which sets out basic information concerning the country, the constitution, the legal system and legislative structure, the limits of national jurisdiction, a brief outline of the main points of its fisheries legislation, with particular reference to licensing requirements, conservation and management, and regional and international agreements relating to fisheries. This information is intended to replace the introductory essay at the beginning of the earlier compendium. In addition, there are tables relating to: limits of national jurisdiction, status of 200 mile zones, nationality criteria for fishing vessels, penalties for illegal national fishing, penalties for illegal foreign fishing, penalties for breach of conservation measures, and the status of regional instruments.
