Article 3 of the Convention. Articles of agreement. The Committee had requested the Government to indicate the measures taken to implement Article 3(2) of the Convention according to which fishers shall sign the agreement under conditions which shall be prescribed by national law in order to ensure adequate supervision by the competent public authority. The Committee takes note of the Government’s statement in its report that the issue is the subject of a comprehensive regulation in the amended Maritime Code, which entered into force recently and that it will provide more detailed information in its next report. Furthermore, the Committee notes Council Directive (EU) 2017/159 of 19 December 2016 implementing the agreement concerning the implementation of the Work in Fishing Convention, 2007 of the International Labour Organisation, concluded on 21 May 2012 between the General Confederation of Agricultural Cooperatives in the European Union (COGECA), the European Transport Workers’ Federation (ETF) and the Association of National Organisations of Fishing Enterprises in the European Union (Europêche). According to its Article 4(1), Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 15 November 2019. In light of the above, the Committee requests the Government to provide detailed information on how the amended Maritime Code gives effect to the requirements of the Convention and on any new laws or regulations adopted in the context of the implementation of the above mentioned Directive.

Finally, the Committee requests the Government to provide a copy of a specimen of the fisher’s naval booklet and of the fisher’s employment agreement currently in use.
