37. The Workshop addressed the difficulties in identifying and quantifying IUU activities as described above under "Status of IUU Fishing in the Mediterranean" (paras. 10 - 24) and in the Review of Activity (see Appendix D), and noted in particular the negligible fishing for non-tuna species reported in the Mediterranean by non-member non-coastal states since 1997. Participants indicated that further identification and quantification should be based on GFCM management measures, in particular the operational units.
