| Records of Fishing Vessels of more than 15 metres in length |
| Recommendations |
 |
|
During the first year of the project, the Steering Committee decided to set up a
database on records of fishing vessels of more than 15 metres in length operating
in the Mediterranean. This database corresponds to the following recommendations:
- Agreement to promote compliance with International Conservation and Management Measures by Fishing Vessels on the High Seas (approved on 24 November 1993 by Resolution 15/93 of the 27th Session of the FAO Conference).
- FAO Code of Conduct (adopted at the 28th Session of the FAO Conference, 31 October 1995).
- Agreement on High Seas Fishing. UN Conference on Straddling Fish Stocks and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks (4th August 1995).

| Tools |
|
|
Most of the countries have computerised fleet databases. Consequently, the project
has developed a software which allows the importation of national data from an
ASCII file with fields delimiter to a standardised regional database. This
software, distributed to the national focal points of the project, controls
the data quality (mandatory fields, standard codification, duplicated keys).
|
| Results |
|
|
Up until now, 5 countries have communicated the data. Following the decision of
COPEMED the Steering Committee, the data received have been sent to the
GFCM Secretariat.
