"I voted in favour of this document, because the objective of the agreement is to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing through the implementation of effective port state measures, thereby ensuring the long-term conservation and sustainable use of living marine resources and marine ecosystems.
The agreement will be applied by parties, in their capacities as port states, for vessels not entitled to fly their flags, while seeking entry to ports or while they are in port. It covers not only fishing vessels, but also vessels used for fishing related activities, such as transport vessels which may be used to carry fisheries products. It also endorses a broad definition of IUU fishing, so as to include a wide range of unregulated fishing operations. The annexes, as an integral part of the agreement, specify the information to be provided in advance by vessels seeking entry to the parties’ ports as well as guidelines for inspection procedures, the handling of inspection results, information systems and training requirements. Parties should cooperate to establish an information-sharing mechanism, preferably coordinated by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), in conjunction with other relevant multilateral and intergovernmental initiatives, and to facilitate the exchange of information with existing databases relevant to the agreement."@en1
