Synopsis (short abstract) Delegations from 54 Members of the Organization and observers from 8 intergovernmental and international non-governmental organizations met at FAO Headquarters, 22–24 July 1998, to prepare for the Consultation on the Management of Fishing Capacity, Shark Fisheries and Incidental Catch of Seabirds in Longline Fisheries. At the end of its meeting it adopted this report. The meeting discussed draft plans of action for the conservation and management of sharks and for the reduction of the incidental catch of seabirds in longline fisheries, as well as elements for a draft plan of action for the management of fishing capacity. This report summarizes the debates that took place. It also contains the guidance provided by the meeting to the FAO Secretariat about how best to proceed with the development of the documents that will be presented to the Consultation proper (26–30 October 1998). This guidance includes inter alia recommendations to the effect that the plans of action must assign the r esponsibility for actions amongst States (including other fishing entities), regional fishery bodies and international organizations. The plans should include provision for implementation and monitoring, including the issue of how to promote compliance by non-members of regional fishery organizations as well as by flag-of-convenience vessels. It was requested that technical assistance needs of developing countries be specified. It was suggested that the cost for any activities to be carried out by FAO, as part of the implementation of any international plan of action, should not be covered by extra-budgetary sources alone.

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.

Informe de la reunión del Grupo Técnico de Trabajo de la FAO sobre la Reducción de las Capturas Incidentales de Aves Marinas en la Pesca con Palangre. Tokio, Japón, 25-27 de marzo de 1998. 1999

El Grupo Técnico de Trabajo (GTT) de la FAO sobre la Reducción de las Capturas Incidentales de Aves Marinas en la Pesca con Palangre revisó tres documentos de antecedentes elaborados para la reunión en los que se describe el esfuerzo y la tecnología de pesca con palangre, la interacción de las aves marinas durante la operación de pesca y cómo la captura incidental de aves marinas puede ser reducida aplicando varias medidas de mitigación. Fue acordado que el contenido de estos documentos debería ser compilado en una publicación que será utilizada como material de referencia para elaborar Directrices Técnicas y un Plan de Acción Internacional. El GTT también elaboró un borrador de Directrices y un Plan de Acción. Las Directrices son propuestas para que contengan una lista de medidas de mitigación, las cuales están actualmente en uso o bajo ampliación, así como también la descripción de cómo la información acerca de las medidas de mitigación podría ser mejor diseminada en la pesca, la i ndustria y otras partes involucradas. En cuanto al Plan de Acción, el borrador preparado por el GTT debería ser visto como un primer borrador para ser ampliado en un proceso directivo para la Consulta de la FAO que se celebraría en octubre de 1998.
