DocumentBackground material and guidelines for the chartering of industrial fishing vessels in Cape Verde 1995
Also available in:
No results found.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. -

Book (stand-alone)Revised World Soil Charter 2015The first World Soil Charter (WSC) was conceived and formulated, negotiated and adopted by the FAO member countries in the 1981 FAO Conference. It was a major normative instrument agreed by member states, and that the Global Soil Partnership (GSP) was duty-bound to promote its principles. The challenges faced by the world have become more evident and severe in the intervening three decades. GSP Partners considered that the 13 principles listed in the charter are still valid, but needed to be upd ated and revised in light of new scientific knowledge gained over the past 30 years, especially with respect to new issues such as soil pollution and its consequences for the environment, climate change adaptation and mitigation and urban sprawl impacts on soil availability and functions. The Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils (ITPS) was tasked to produce a new version of this WSC making use of wide consultations within the international soil community in order to assist with the proces s. Coinciding with 2015 the International Year of Soils, member countries during the 39th FAO Conference unanimously endorsed the new World Soil Charter as a vehicle to promote and institutionalize sustainable soil management at all levels.
