    Implementation of the International Plan of Action to deter, prevent and eliminate, illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing 2002
    These guidelines have been produced to support implementation of the International Plan of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (IPOA-IUU). They are addressed to decision-makers and policy-makers associated with the management of fisheries, but they should also be of interest to fishing industries and other parties. The IPOA-IUU is consistent with the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, as well as with the 1993 Agreement to Promote Complia nce with International Conservation and Management Measures by Fishing Vessels on the High Seas, the 1995 Agreement for the Implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 Relating to the Conservation and Management of Straddling Fish Stocks and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks and other applicable rules of international law. The guidelines are intended to provide general advice and a framework for development and implementation of national plans of action.

    The evolving management role of regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs), as agreed in recent international fisheries instruments, is set out, together with agreed provisions relating to illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. Issues common to IUU fishing and management of fishing capacity are also reviewed, especially as contained in the International Plans of Action (IPOAs) relating to these areas. The status and implementation of the International Plan of Actio n to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (IPOA–IUU) in the Mediterranean is described with reference to: the contexts in which IUU fishing has been addressed by the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM); the adoption of national plans of action (NPOAs) on IUU fishing by GFCM members; and the adoption by the European Union (EU) Fisheries Council of conclusions on IUU fishing. Many RFMOs have been active in implementing the IPOA– IUU, and their decisions, actions and measures are noted. Options for implementing the IPOA–IUU in the Mediterranean are reviewed, taking into account some features of existing fisheries management relating to IUU fishing. These include the diverse national legal frameworks, activities in the subregions covered by the CopeMed and AdriaMed projects and monitoring, control and surveillance capabilities. A possible process and considerations for implementation of the IPOA–IUU by GFCM ar e identified, and in conclusion the potential effects on fisheries management are noted.
