Synopsis (short abstract) This document contains the report of the second meeting of the Part 6 Working Group established by the Parties to the Agreement on Port State Measures to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing, held in Rome, Italy, from 5 to 6 July 2018. The Part 6 Working Group reviewed outcomes of its first meeting, noting with respect to the funding mechanisms to be put in place to assist developing States with the implementation of the PSMA that further clarity is required in terms of the criteria and priorities that will be used to review applications for assistance. The Part 6 Working Group discussed at length the requirements of developing States for the implementation of the PSMA, noting legal, operational, and technical challenges and identifying where existing tools are already available to address these challenges. The Working Group received a detailed update of FAO’s Global Capacity Development Programme in support of the PSMA, as well as heard from other international organizations, non-governmental organizations, States and other entities on their respective capacity development initiatives in support of the PSMA. Finally, the Part 6 Working Group discussed the necessary functionalities of the capacity development portal that is to be developed and hosted by FAO under the PSMA global programme.
