Synopsis (short abstract) The Technical Consultation on Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing was held in Rome, Italy, from 2 to 6 October 2000. The Consultation worked towards concluding a draft international plan of action (IPOA) to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing. As a starting point, the Consultation opted to use the preliminary draft IPOA that had been elaborated at the Expert Consultation on Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing which was organized by the Governm ent of Australia in cooperation with FAO (Sydney, Australia, 15-19 May 2000). The Technical Consultation reviewed text related to the introduction of the IPOA as well as the nature and scope of IUU fishing, objectives and principles, key actions in combating IUU fishing (including all State, flag State and port State responsibilities), internationally agreed market-related measures, research, regional fisheries management organizations, special requirement of developing countries, reporting and the role of FAO. Although sound progress was made in the Consultation towards reaching agreement on many of the complex issues to be addressed in the IPOA, it was agreed by the Consultation that an additional session would be required to refine the text prior to it being submitted to the twenty-fourth Session of the Committee on Fisheries in February 2001 for consideration and possible acceptance.
