Article 2 of the Convention. Fisher’s medical certificate. The Committee notes with interest the adoption of Royal Decree No. 1696/2007 of 14 December 2007 regulating pre-embarkation medical examinations for seafarers, which make specific reference to the Convention and gives it full effect. It notes in particular Annex II of the Royal Decree, which lists the criteria for assessing the physical fitness of seafarers and fishers, and Annex III, which establishes a standard pre embarkation medical fitness certificate.

Part V of the report form. Practical application. The Committee notes the statistical data provided in the Government’s report on the medical examinations of fishers carried out each year by the Social Marine Institute, as well as the disaggregated data according to age and work station. It requests the Government to continue providing general information on the manner in which the Convention is applied in practice, including on the number of fishers covered by the Convention, and to submit copies of the reports of the inspection services concerning the number and nature of infringements of the legal provisions implementing the Convention, and the corrective measures taken.

Finally, the Committee wishes to draw the Government’s attention to the Work in Fishing Convention, 2007 (No. 188), which revises in an integrated manner most of the existing ILO fishing instruments. In particular, Articles 10 to 12 of Convention No. 188 essentially reproduce the provisions of the present Convention while affording greater flexibility in respect of vessels which are less than 24 metres in length and do not normally remain at sea for more than three days. The Committee invites the Government to give favourable consideration to the ratification of Convention No. 188 and to keep the Office informed of any decision taken in this regard.
