Book (series)Report of the Meeting of the Global Record Informal Open-Ended Technical and Advisory Working Group. Rome, 23-25 February 2015 2015The Meeting of the Global Record Informal Open-Ended Technical and Advisory Working Group (GRWG) was held in Rome, Italy, from 23 to 25 February 2015. In this first meeting of the GRWG, experts from member States and observers to the FAO Committee on Fisheries (COFI) provided their view on the next steps towards the development of the Global Record as a tool to fight Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing. Several important issues were discussed including: the terms of reference for the Working Group, scope and data requirements, system development, operational rules and data exchange mechanisms, the governance framework and the way forward. Among other issues, the meeting agreed upon the following: 1) the Global Record fulfils a crucial role as a tool to fight IUU fishing in support of a variety of existing binding and voluntary fisheries instruments; 2) the function of the Global Record is not restricted to that of an authorized list of vessels; 3) the Global Record shou ld also include authorization, compliance and historical data most of which should be in the public domain; 4) States are responsible for providing information to the Global Record; 5) Core Specialized Working Groups should be established to deal with particular matters mainly at technical level; and 6) a pilot version of the Global Record including participation of key partners should be developed and if possible, presented at the Thirty-second session of COFI in 2016 for review. The next meeti ng of the Working Group will be held in the first quarter of 2016 to review advances made by the Core Specialized Working Groups and the Global Record project team.
