The Committee notes the information provided in the Government’s report, in particular the indication that, in the light of the governmental decision taken in the Council of Ministers on 29 April 2005, measures have been taken to improve security on board fishing vessels.  The Government also states that, since October 2005, regular inspections of living conditions on board are carried out in collaboration with the Marine Social Institute and that this Institute is also participating in the drafting of a long-term inspection plan. In this respect, the Committee asks the Government to continue providing general information on the application of the Convention in practice, including, for instance, extracts from inspection service reports stating the number and nature of the infringements reported, and statistical information on the number and tonnage of fishing boats covered by the Convention.

Moreover, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would specify whether the Orders of 17 August 1970 and 16 March 1971, which gave effect to these provisions of the Convention, are still in force, or whether they have been repealed or amended and, if so, to communicate a copy of the texts in their current form.
