Medical Examination (Fishermen) Convention, 1959 (No. 113) - Serbia (Ratification: 2000)

Article 2 of the Convention. Medical certificate. Further to its previous comment, the Committee notes the Government’s statement that despite the absence of a fishing fleet or fishing activity in salt waters, it intends to continue being a party to the Convention. Noting that, as the Government indicated in its previous report, most of the Articles of the Convention are not implemented by the national laws and regulations governing maritime navigation, the Committee requests the Government to specify the measures taken or envisaged in order to give full effect to the requirements of the Convention. It also requests the Government to keep the Office informed of any practical developments in the fishing sector which might have an impact on the application of this Convention.
