Whereas:
(1) Convention No 188 of the International Labour Organisation (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Convention’ and ‘the ILO’ respectively) on work in the fishing sector was adopted on 14 June 2007 at the International Labour Conference of the ILO, which convened in Geneva and at which all delegations of the European Union Member States voted in favour of adoption.
(2) The Convention represents a major input to the fishing sector at international level in promoting decent work for fishers and fairer competition conditions for fishing vessel owners and it is therefore desirable that its provisions should be implemented as soon as possible.
(3) The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission are promoting the ratification of international labour conventions that are classified by the ILO as up-to-date as a contribution to the European Union’s efforts to promote decent work for all both inside and outside the Union.
