Synopsis (short abstract) The Twenty-fifth Session of the Committee on Fisheries was held in Rome, Italy, from 24 to 28 February 2003. The Committee approved a Strategy for Improving Information on Status and Trends of Capture Fisheries and recommended its further approval by the FAO Council. The Committee reaffirmed the need for global implementation of measures against illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing and recommended that IUU fishing be included in the Agenda of the Thirty-second Session of t he FAO Conference with a view to calling the attention of Members to this issue. The Committee recognized the crucial importance of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and its related International Plans of Action (IPOAs) in promoting long-term sustainable development of fisheries and encouraged Members to establish and implement National Plans of Action to put into effect the International Plans of Actions on Capacity, IUU Fishing, Sharks and Seabirds. The Committtee identif ied key priority areas of work for the FAO Fisheries Department during the biennium 2004–2005 and the areas of work for its Sub-Committees on Fish Trade and Aquaculture.
