10.3 Suggested Format for Reports to FAO on Implementation72As provided in paragraph 87 of the IPOA-IUU, States and RFMOsshould report to FAO on their progress in implementing the IPOA-IUU and theirrespective NPOAs as part of their biennial reporting to FAO on the Code ofConduct. FAO, in turn, will publish these reports in a timely manner.As with the NPOAs, each State and RFMO is free to organize thesereports in whatever way corresponds best to its particular situation. However,analysis of these reports would be facilitated if they followed the outline of theIPOA-IUU, using headings such as “All State Responsibilities,” “Flag StateResponsibilities,” “Coastal State Measures,” etc., along the lines of the outlinesuggested above for NPOAs.11. CHECKLIST OF RECOMMENDED ACTIONSAll StatesAll States that have not yet done so should become party to the 1982 UNConvention, the 1993 FAO Compliance Agreement and the 1995 UN FishStocks Agreement.All States should fully implement the Code of Conduct and its relatedInternational Plans of Action.All States whose vessels participate in fisheries regulated by RFMOs shouldeither become members of those RFMOs or, at a minimum, apply theconservation and management measures adopted by those RFMOs to theirown vessels or adopt measures consistent with those conservation andmanagement measures.All States should cooperate to establish new RFMOs as needed forcoordinated conservation and management of fish stocks.All States should develop national plans of action to prevent, deter andeliminate IUU fishing as envisioned in paragraph 25 of the IPOA-IUU.All States should undertake a thorough review of their existing laws,regulations and practices that may relate to IUU fishing.All States should make it a violation of their law for their nationals to violatethe fishery conservation and management laws of any other State or toundermine the effectiveness of conservation and management measuresadopted by a RFMO.
