The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. In previous reports, the Government had referred 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 would be grateful if the Government would supply a report on any development in the matter, including any new elements resulting from the discussions held at the Office.
