The Committee notes that the Government’s report contains no reply to its previous comments. It is therefore bound to repeat its previous comments.

Repetition

Implementing legislation on fishers’ competency certificates. The Committee had noted in its previous comment the absence of laws and regulations giving effect to the requirements of the Convention and had requested the Government to provide a copy of the Safety of Fishing Vessel Regulations which was under preparation. The Committee regrets to note the Government’s indication in its report that the regulations governing all aspects of fishing vessel operations, including fishers’ certificates of competency, are still being developed. The Committee therefore urges once again the Government to adopt the necessary measures without delay to regulate fishers’ competency certificates.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the near future.
