Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing and fraud along the fish product supply chain impede sustainable fisheries worldwide and pose a major challenge to regulators, as well as control and enforcement authorities. In this context the ability to determine authenticity and provenance of fish and fish products throughout the fish product supply chain constitutes a key asset. This JRC reference report describes existing techniques based on genetics, genomics and chemistry that are suitable for fisheries control and enforcement and traceability of fish products. It argues that despite their value these techniques are currently underutilised, and discusses how they can be implemented by control and enforcement authorities. To demonstrate feasibility, examples are provided of cases where such techniques have already been successfully employed to reveal fisheries fraud and to generate evidence in court cases. Furthermore, strategies of how (forensic) genetics and chemistry could be translated into a routine European fisheries control and enforcement framework -- in the context of EU policy and legislation -- are explored. The purpose of this report is to catalyse an informed dialogue amongst stakeholders and to contribute to a more efficient technology transfer process.

These guidelines are addressed to decision-makers and policy-makers associated with the management of fisheries, but they should also be of interest to fishing industries and other parties. This Plan of Action is consistent with the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, as well as with the 1993 Agreement to Promote Compliance with International Conservation and Management Measures by Fishing Vessels on the High Seas, the 1995 Agreement for the Implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 Relating to the Conservation and Management of Straddling Fish Stocks and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks and other applicable rules of international law. The guidelines are intended to provide general advice and a framework for development and implementation of national plans of action.

The IOPA-IUU is a voluntary instrument that applies to all States and entities and to all fishers. Following the IPOA's introduction, the nature and scope of IUU fishing is addressed. This is followed by the IPOA's objective and principles and the implementation of measures to prevent, deter and eliminate IUU fishing. These measures focus on all State responsibilities, flag State responsibilities, coastal State measures, port State measures, internationally agreed market-related measures, research and regional fisheries management organizations. Special requirements of developing countries are then considered, followed by reporting requirements and the role of FAO.

This publication contains papers presented at an FAO regional workshop, held in Cairo, Egypt in December 2005, organised to discuss the development of the region's capacity to elaborate national plans of action to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (NPOAs-IUU). Issues discussed include: the 1995 FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, the 2001 FAO International Plan of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (IPOA-IUU) and the FAO technical guidelines in support of the implementation of the IPOA-IUU.

The purpose of the Workshop was to assist countries in the Pacific Islands subregion to develop capacity to elaborate national plans of action to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (NPOAs-IUU). The Workshop addressed issues relating to: the 1995 FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, the 2001 International Plan of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (IPOA-IUU) and FAO Fisheries Technical Guidelines No. 9 that have been developed to support the implementation of the IPOA-IUU; concepts of planning and the elaboration of action plans; decision-making about IUU fishing; and skills enhancement through the identification of key issues relating to the elaboration of NPOAs-IUU, the primary vehicle by which the IPOA- IUU will be implemented by countries.
