The EU participates in six tuna regional fishing management organizations (RFMOs) (including the Agreement on the International Dolphin Conservation Programme (AIDCP) which is a sister organisation to IATTC) and 9 non-tuna RFMOs. The EU is also a member of two advisory RFOs: the Western Central Atlantic Fisheries Commission (WECAFC) and the Fisheries Committee for the Eastern Central Atlantic (CECAF) (Table 4.14). The EU is also an active participant in multilateral negotiations on Law of the Sea and Fisheries in global fora, such as the UN and FAO, and other organizations dealing with fishing, such as the OECD. The Communication on the external dimension of the CFP, as endorsed by the European Parliament and the Council, advocates the fight against IUU, reducing overcapacity, reinforcing compliance with management measures adopted by RFMOs and the use of the best scientific evidence available to underpin their decisions.
