tion of FAOs arnival Commodity Reviei and Outlook 1974-75g the Corn ittee expressed its appre-ciation and approval of the reportes format and contents in particu1ai for the current natureof the information0 It tas observed that in complementing the annual review of the state offishery resources9 the report enabled the Committee o conaider in a more complete and com-prehensive er the tihole spectrum of international probleme of fishery management enddevelopment0

15 There ueral E that the lue of such revis would b hanced by more

5 formation on fleets manpn end oti socioocoornic data0 In thic connection atten-

t on iae dratin to the fact tha much relevant information concerning the developed countriesla already submitted to the O enication for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) andrevieed by i ts Coemittoc on F.oheriee which tae also referred to as a valuable source ofup-o--date ecoornic data anorally0 It wou].d howover be neceosary9 uithin the cystern which

16 The Comuittee requested that consideration ehould bc g5en to he posoibility of pre-paring and distributing commodity roviewe more frcuontly thon annually0 It uas suggested

that AO should eaine the poibilitioe of ectabliching en iaternational market information system deoiod to poovido both developed and developing countriec with regular, up-to-date market telligenoe0 At the came time oth delegations felt that PAO chou].d give

reator attention to studioc ecmining the lo ,rocpecte for the morketing of fishery

commodities0

17 The Committee noted that at a when total ounpiios of fish were barely increasing,there tiers diffiouitio in diopooing ol' oupplieo in sorno parte of the world despite the

shortage of food in othero0 It wan obciorvod that the problem arose from general tronde ineconomic development, in particular differoncoc in income levels0 Unicos bacio causeo wereremoved, this may hamper tho welcome exponsion of flohories by developing cotrieo foretports to earn their much n000d foroii enchango0 The Committee re-emphasized the needfor greater attention to inadccpiaoioo in procorvation, marketing end diotribntion facili-ties0

(o) Activitios of regional fishery bodies

19 The Coimittee emp.ized the important role that regional fishery bodice had, ong

other functions, in enouring the full end rational exploitation of fish recourcoe0 Itnoted that this rolo, at any rato for ]?AO hodioo, te changing from one that wan oosentiallya matter of diijongoing and enchonging the recuite of ocientific otudico and other informa-tion, to one that wan mere directly concerned with the management of heavily fichad stocksnd with the development aepects of fiohory aetivitioo in oaoh area0 In this oecond stage,

ning. The Committee especially welço....r:.-, the s-tops being -baien, including the follow-up ofthis symposium, -to enable the I?FC -to meet it responsibilities to the region more ade-quately,

21 There was some discussion of the vole of the Committee vis-s-vie the regional fisherybodies, both inside and oixbjdo FAO. It was felt -that the proper function of the Committeewas to review cri-tically their overall performance and the degree to which they wore main-taining the stocks and the fisher-cu on -them in a satisfactory condition. In this cormec-tien -there was a general feeling that, while regional bodies bad. rua-de commendable prou esain difficult circumstances in recent years, this progress barely kept pace with the morcas-.

ing needs t'or proper mnnament of heavily fished stocks.. In particular, few bodies, eveuwhen maintaining the l'ish stocks at a rr.000nablo level, had bc uccescmul in ensuringeconomically healthy ±'iherioc, bu-t i noicd that iome hoc1.oc bd iniroduoed controlmeasures in anticipation o± cloar evide:c,

23 It was noted. that AO could not provide ita regional bodies With -the desirable degreeof support to enable them to carry out ail their functions, ticularly in statiatios, a-t

least not within ii;s Je r ñ'cgrammo. The Committee was informed., however, that supportwas being provided by the United. Nations Development Progrw e (UND?) ng regional pro-jects and -that this w enabling come si ficant improvements to be achieved, e.g. 1-nrespect of catch and effort statistica in the Eastern Central Atlantic. Ii rocommendodthat euch support be continued and iucroed until -the national capabilities to provide sta-tistios and. other d- for the regions were raised -to the desired level. Stock assessmentswould be improved no-t only by botter data but aleo by an increased. number of experienced.specialists in tlu fi)cl in both clevelopod. azid- developi. countries. Plus w a matter ofbetter training, nd the holding of -training courses in stock assessment and related sub-jects should continue 1th the assistance ot' FAO.

24 another way to improve the et'ficincy of regional bodies could be by botter 000rdinationbetween them. A si or an infovmal meeting, bringing tothor the staffs of these bodies,would he1 identify methods of improving their offctivsness and in reviewing possible commonservices. Particular advantage might be iued by iategrating some of the etatistical anddata activities in-to a common network.

25 A numb?r of opioc of general in-bereut, which merited muore dotxled ex&uination bythe Comîn1-ttco nd warrontod otuy by -the FAO Secretariat, were idoatifi.od. The problemof ciiveraion of effort from a stock coming under quota or other w icit to other tooks

was sopecially mentioned. The more comprehensive system of quotas thin 'the North Atlan-

2b As a par-ticulai' oxaiiple of economic cenai eration, il; was noted that the ree-I. returnsrom fiahiflg OQU1d be improved by a system of catch quotas that did. not react too violently

to fluctuationa in the fish stock but minimized the VeriatiQus in the emmt taken by eachcountry in successive yee-re even though this might cause some slight fall in total grosscatch over the yes. At the a time, i-t was rscoised that within the total allowableo'tch there could be changes in the proportions taken by diffe-rent countries, which mighttake account inter alia of the gitiinate aspirations of developing countries,

29 The Commit-tee discussed the possibility of the s regional bo dealing with fisherymanagement end the LIIemamOnt and control of other uses of the oceans, including activitiesthat cause pollution. !hils any impact of those uses on the fish stocks should he taken intoaccount in fishery managemente.g. in setting the level of the allowable catchin generalthe nature of the problem, and the institutions eM teresin involved were so differentthat, .ri the view of oevcs.aJ. dologat.one, they wci best denl with by ceparate regionalbodice. For countries ni-tb limited ste-ft end there could, however, be some advan-.-tage in combination of funotiona,

(d) Review of the status and cow osition of the J'isheCowmni.ttco for the Jastern Central Atlantic (SEC

30 The Committee considered this item on the bmis of document CQFI/75/7e This documentbad been submitted for cçsmnent -to the member countries of CECA]?. The Cowwitte heard anoral report on the substantive comments that bad been received at the Urne from four oi.r ofthe 28 member countries0

31 As regards uembership of CECA?, the Committee was of the view that the criteria laiddown by the Council of'D'AO fox' the selection of member countries by the Director-Generalwere sufficiently broad and flexible to meet requirements and new developments. It wasinformed that in practice the Director-General selected new member countries upon theirrequest and in consultation with the Bureau of CECA?.

32 The Committee noted that CECA? was called "cowiui-ttee" because it had been establishedunder Article VI-2 of -the FAO Constitution and conited of selected Member Ne-tious andAssociate Members of the Orgenizat-ion. Changing t'te name to UoommiseiozzH would require adecision of -the Council to reconstitute CECA? wider Article VI-1 of tlie Constitution as abody, the membership of which uculd be cuori to all Member Nvti.ona and. Asoce-l.o Members oFAO, Th Conmii-ttee reached th conclusion that such a oh5n'4 was nc4 warranted at thepresent time particularly as memberhip oould be enlarged under the present statutem.

33 The Committee noted that, wi-thin the definition of its toxins of refereric, CECA? hadbeen able to develop LtS e-ot.vities ux a very aat.sfe-ctory manricmr as regarda both tho man-agement and developimnn't of fisheries in i-te area, It therefore ag'eed that there we-s rie

need to modify 'the functions of CECA?,

34 however, 'the Coìttoe felt that the question of the composition, statue and functionset' CECA? should he kept uridei rov1e, 1t voqwmrted the ocx etariul, to submit to the nextsession of CECA? a. report ombodying -the views emmarised iii the preceding pat" :: apha, e-awell as the comments received from the mober con-tries of CECA? oir document C0F1175/70

COORDINATION OF MULTILATERtIJJ Ai BILATERALASSISTANCE Ék iiisuÉy on' ocs36 Using as s. basis document COFI/75/59 the Conwuittee diecmssod procedures for the givingand receiving of multilateral and bilateral assistance to fishe'y development programmesand reviewed the role of FAO in relation to the coordination end øffective use of such aid..a significant trend. is the tendency for bilateral aid to be disbursed within a multilateral

uìiework and for bilateral donors to make use of FAO's epecialícd knowledge and experienceth executing assistance projects. The Committee agreed that whilrt id coordination at thecountry level is o1eriy the responsibility of the recipient guverninent concerned, the of-fctive use of technical and othx assistance depends essentially upon the fullest flow ofinformation between recipient countries, donor countries and iu].tilateral agenoise.

37 112 this rsepeot the Committee emphasized that FAO is uniquely placed to play a vitalrole in the collection and dissemination of information ori matters of interest concerningdevelopment assistance in the fiehsries sector0 Whilst noting the importance of FAO'sbasic aotivitien in collecting collating and presenting data on the world catch and itsutiliation resource potential aM prospective oonsusiption and in sponsoring internationalweetings concerned with fishery management and development the Committee requested that theOginization should in addition systematically collect asalye and disseminate informationon fisheries aid on donor criteria and. the needs of potential reoipients In thin conriec-tien9 the Committees together with regional fishery bodies, could. provide an appropriateforum throuh thich to cohige tuoh data. rft esmbly of the data would depend heavilyupon the 000prciou Of doflor aoiss and recipient countries in the supply of information9and mimbs o ii1isr pGrJod their wiulin'iees to participate in such a procoss

THE WORIC OF FEO IN TE FIE1D Oit' 'ISIE'Th I.WD GREGULAR

46 The Committee ezressed general satisfaction with the presentation and oontent ofthe docusent on the Programme of tork of FAO in the field of fisheri.os dvning 1976-77(COFI/75/11) whioh contained. introductory paragraphs of a general nature in Part I whilePart II was devoted to the sub-progrnoo of the Department of Fisheries under the RegularPrograe. Part III gave details of thc Field Programme arid some indications of it rela-tion to the Regular Programme Several delegations felt that this last part should in thefuture be enlarged to give further details and. to allow closer comparisons with Part IL

47 The Coneittee was informed, that for the 1976-77 Regular Programme a net programme in-orease of 19 percent (at 197/75 coste) was being proposed. for the Department of Fisheriesin the Siimi'y Programme of Uork . Thicl;oi oubi'tod. to th FAO Council0 This comparedwith proposed net proçtv'tts increo:;es el 2 pent for the Forestry Department, 25 percentfor the Economic and. Social Donar aent end 48 procnt for the Agriculture Vspartmerzt0While the Committee noted 'pith sorne concern that the increase for the Department of Fish-ones would b relatively it exprossed satisfaction at the way the reoonnientionsand comments of th Committee made at its proviens esrions as to the activities to whichpriority should. be givc'n had. been met to the o:ton iOflbhlee

48 The Committee noted with partioiz satisfaction the rapid recent growth in the FieldProgramme, which was still mainly financed by UND?, but to which trust funds provided bybilateral development agencies were making an increasing contribution0 It was informedthat the question of UND? agency costs had. now been clarified in the sense that the paymentsby U1DP (a-t present at the rato of 14 percent) wore exclusively for project formulation (2percent) and non-technical support (12 percent), FAO bore the other costr3 including anyexcess of the cost of pro ject formulation and non-technical bactopping, and the total costsof overall policy-making bodies? planning and technical backstopping0 Taking account of allthese items, the actual overhead costs borne by FAO were estimated to be 19 .roent and ac-cordingly there was a. difference of about 5 percent between the figure paid by UND? and thetotal cost0 At the 1974 level of the Fisheries Field Programme, this amounted to approxi-mately half a million dollars a year from Regular Prosamme funds, which themselves amountedto somewhat less than U.S0 Z4 million a year.

49 The Committee questioned whether or not the rapid growth of the Field Programme withoutapnropriate increases in the regular bu. tt was hnpering the execution of the Regular Pro-rmeQ The situation needed to be watched to ensure that the overall programme for which

tht Department of Fisheries eponsible could be carried out in an orderly falmion0growth of the Field Fo would require special sffortm in recruitment and the. Com

mitt ce noted that improveiner; in recruitment planning was already being made and would becontinuad0

53 Phis continues to be one of the basic aspects of the proaurne in fisheries, somedelegates pointed out that the information provided a result of iìrk under this sub-prore should be of a ld.nd that would enable developing countries to preparo feasi-bility utudies on the basis of which they could obtain support for investment projectsfrom public or privatem national or thtornatio sources of finance. Such informationwas also essential for ratio management of fish stockai, end was especially importantwith respect to those harvested by moro than one country0

57 General support t: tj expressed. for the strengthening of the aquaculture progr i It

was thought that exeion of aquaculture might be spurred by the more ed coct of marinofishing operations. Aquaculture could contribute to increasing supplies of protein foodd thi: especially important in countries where there was a protein gap, It could. also

help build up exports oÍ' high-value products to earn foreign exchange. The rwtic improve-.meut of stocks could 'be an important factor fox' the future. Special attention should. begiven to wa-tar quality criteria and to the protection from pollution of areas suitable foraquaculture. The Ooumìttee noted -that the Aquaoullure Development and.

59 The importance of oinall..scele fisheries lay in their economic and social &spootu andparticularly the cmployment provided0 It was, however, r000g4isod. that those fisherieswove frequently not profitable and o±'fortu ahould be made to rectify this by measures ouchas improving the apeolficatione for boats and. organising cooperativos of various kinde(production, supply, oed.it) for small-scale fishermen0

tile feeli of adding a stone to the building you are erootin.g

It was aleo in n interest to come and. tell 'ou how !oroeeo intends to develop herfisheries, to obtain wise col from you wo incontoetahie specialists in this

field.

Mr. Chai.

In the course of my report, I should li!o to ptt tile aoacnt, not on development methodsas such, which depend ou the pooific data of a country and the oniui of its people, but

u.bove all on the national offert on the one à anti bilateral, or multilateral cooperation

When Morocco d iclod that fieheries hou1d. piy a xlomiusnt rolo in tho national
