The Implementation of the provisions of the 1993 Protocol relating to the Torremolinos International Convention of 1977 for the Safety of Fishing Vessels

This procedure authorises EU member states to ratify the Cape Town Agreement of 2012. This international treaty aims to improve the safety standards for fishing vessels worldwide, building upon earlier conventions.

This affects fishing fleets and maritime safety. Ratification by member states will ensure greater consistency in safety regulations for fishing vessels operating internationally.
