The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation, which read as follows:

In comments made over several years the Committee has asked the Government to provide information on the measures taken with a view to the adoption of legislation on articles of agreement giving effect to the provisions of the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s indication in its report of November 2000 that the Department of Merchant Shipping of the Ministry of Communications and Works of Cyprus has completed the preparation of the ship’s articles as well as the relevant regulations and that they are in the process of being approved by the Council of Ministers. Recalling also the large number of fishing vessels registered in Cyprus that belong to foreign owners as well as the large number of non-Cypriot fishermen employed therein, the Committee hopes that these legal provisions and regulations will be adopted in the near future and that the Government will report on all the measures taken to give full effect to the provisions of the Convention.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
