[Publié seulement sur le site Web] / Informe de la Consulta Técnica sobre las Directrices Técnicas para un Comercio Pesquero Responsable. Roma, 5-7 de noviembre de 2007. [Publicado solamente en el sitio Web] 2008The Technical Consultation on Technical Guidelines for Responsible Fish Trade was convened by FAO at the request of the twenty-seventh session of the Committee on Fisheries (COFI) (Rome, 5-9 March 2007) and the tenth session of the COFI Sub-Committee on Fish Trade (Santiago de Compostela, 30 May - 2 June 2006). The Consultation was attended by 34 Members of FAO and by observers from two intergovernmental organizations. The Consultation welcomed the draft Technical Guidelines. Many dele gations noted the importance of ensuring that the draft Technical Guidelines did not result in the creation of additional barriers to trade. The Technical Consultation also agreed that responsible fish trade objectives must be underpinned by responsible management practices. Recognizing that the available time did not permit the Technical Consultation to complete its consideration of the draft guidelines in their entirety, the delegates agreed that the Technical Consultation be re-open ed at a later stage for discussion of the remaining paragraphs.

No results found.Delegations from 45 Members of the Organization, observers from 3 intergovernmental organizations and 7 international non-governmental organizations met at FAO Headquarters, 21-23 October 1998, to hold the Technical Consultation on the Feasibility of Developing Non-Discriminatory Technical Guidelines for Eco-Labellling of Products from Marine Capture Fisheries. At the end of its meeting it adopted this report. The meeting discussed: Issues related to the feasibility and practicability of develop ing globally applicable, non-discriminatory technical guidelines for eco-labelling of products from marine capture fisheries; possible contents and format of technical guidelines on eco-labelling of products from marine capture fisheries and procedure for the elaboration of technical guidelines. During the analysis and discussions on the subject no agreement was reached regarding the practicability and feasibility of FAO drafting technical guidelines for eco-labelling for marine fisheries produc ts. However, there was consensus that if an agreement was eventually reached on the feasibility of elaborating guidelines for eco-labelling this should be consistent with the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and, in addition, should consider inter alia a number of principles listed in the Report (see paragraph 11). It was stressed that, if so decided by COFI, the development of technical guidelines should take into account and be consistent with on-going related work by other inter-gove rnmental organizations, in particular the World Trade Organization (WTO). It was further mentioned to take into account the work of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the procedures adopted by the Codex Alimentarius Commission as well as other relevant experiences in the subject. The Technical Consultation agreed that, if COFI decided that FAO should prepare technical guidelines, they should be voluntary and the process of drafting the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fi sheries should be followed. -
