Further to its previous observations, the Committee notes with interest that the Government has now written to the Office requesting assistance in relation to the present Convention. In its report, the Government refers to various practical and legal difficulties arising in particular from the fact that fishing vessels registered in Cyprus belong to shipowners of various nationalities, using international crews and ports in different countries of the world. The Committee hopes that the Office will be able to assist in this matter and that the Government will indicate all progress made.
