The Committee supported the development of guidelines on best practices for safety at sea. The Committee agreed that additional work should be carried out in relation to the Guidelines for the Ecolabelling of Fish and Fish Products from Inland Capture Fisheries. COFI recommended that FAO continue to provide technical advice to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora in relation to listing proposals fo r commercially exploited aquatic species, and technical input to the fisheries subsidies negotiations in the World Trade Organization. COFI reaffirmed its trust in FAO to play a coordinating role in advancing the global aquaculture agenda and recognized the need for further support to the Special Programme for Aquaculture Development in Africa. It was noted that FAO should continue to play a leading role in relation to assistance for the implementation of the International Guidelines for the Man agement of Deep-Sea Fisheries in the High Seas with regard to the management of fisheries resources exploited through deep-sea fishing. COFI reaffirmed that illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing remained one of the principal threats to sustainable fisheries and highlighted the importance of the negotiation of a draft legally-binding instrument on port State measures. The Committee welcomed the outcome of the 2008 Global Conference on Small-Scale Fisheries and focused on the various policie s, strategies, legal and social measures taken by Members to secure sustainable livelihoods in marine and inland small-scale fisheries. Concerning FAO¿s programme of work in fisheries and aquaculture, COFI took note of the Immediate Plan of Action for FAO Renewal (2009¿10) and supported its strengthened role in providing advice on priorities.
