90National Plans of Action25. States should develop and implement, as soon as possible but not laterthan three years after the adoption of the IPOA, national plans of action tofurther achieve the objectives of the IPOA and give full effect to its provisions asan integral part of their fisheries management programmes and budgets. Theseplans should also include, as appropriate, actions to implement initiativesadopted by relevant regional fisheries management organizations to prevent,deter and eliminate IUU fishing. In doing so, States should encourage the fullparticipation and engagement of all interested stakeholders, including industry,fishing communities and non-governmental organizations.26. At least every four years after the adoption of their national plans ofaction, States should review the implementation of these plans for the purpose ofidentifying cost-effective strategies to increase their effectiveness and to takeinto account their reporting obligations to FAO under Part VI of the IPOA.27. States should ensure that national efforts to prevent, deter andeliminate IUU fishing are internally coordinated.Cooperation between States28. States should coordinate their activities and cooperate directly, and asappropriate through relevant regional fisheries management organizations, inpreventing, deterring and eliminating IUU fishing. In particular, States should:28.1 exchange data or information, preferably in standardized format, fromrecords of vessels authorized by them to fish, in a manner consistent with anyapplicable confidentiality requirements;28.2 cooperate in effective acquisition, management and verification of allrelevant data and information from fishing;28.3 allow and enable their respective MCS practitioners or enforcementpersonnel to cooperate in the investigation of IUU fishing, and to this end Statesshould collect and maintain data and information relating to such fishing;28.4 cooperate in transferring expertise and technology;28.5 cooperate to make policies and measures compatible;28.6 develop cooperative mechanisms that allow, inter alia, rapidresponses to IUU fishing; and28.7 cooperate in monitoring, control and surveillance, including throughinternational agreements.
