The meeting was attended by experts from Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Members, intergovernmental organisations (IGO) and International Non-Governmental Organisations (INGO), in view of identifying the next steps towards the development of the Global Record as a tool to fight illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. Issues discussed included: the revision of the Terms of Reference (TOR) of the Working Group; the progress and state of affairs of the Global Record Programme; the IHS offer for inclusion of vessel data into the Global Record; user experiences, features, functionalities, rules and procedures, and participation to the first working version of the Global Record information system; outcomes of the first meeting of the Parties of the Agreement on Port State Measures (PSMA) in relation to the Global Record; and capacity development support. The GRWG agreed upon the revised TOR for the Working Group. The importance of publicly releasing the Global Record prior to the 33rd session of the Committee on Fisheries (COFI) to showcase the utility of the Global Record in the fight against IUU fishing and to encourage further participation, was highlighted. The GRWG recognized the value of IHSM’s revised offer in providing the five essential data fields, required for submitting a vessel into the Global Record information system, to support the implementation of Phase 1, whilst reiterating the responsibility of the State to provide the data. The Secretariat was requested to develop ways to facilitate the submission of data by States and that the source of data should be correctly marked in the information system. The need for a clear procedure for establishing National Focal Points (NFPs), was highlighted. The GRWG recommended that vessels records should be updated at least every 45 to 90 days. The GRWG underlined the importance that data included in the Global Record is of the highest quality and, in this regard, highlighted the need to establish procedures to avoid dissemination of conflicting data. The importance of timely advancements to the Global Record information system, particularly to support data verification and risk analysis for the PSMA and other instruments such as the United Nations Fish Stock Agreement (UNFSA), was underlined. The GRWG agreed upon the major areas that need consideration for capacity development action and highlighted that these should be planned and implemented in coordination with capacity development actions established under other initiatives to ensure coherence and support the development of synergies. The GRWG welcomed the announcement by Sweden of a contribution to the Global Record of 900 000 USD.
