The Union shall, where appropriate, endeavour to support the adoption of the following actions by the annual Conference of the Parties:
conservation and management measures for fisheries resources in the Agreement area based on the best scientific advice available, including Allowable Harvest Level (AHL) and individual national quotas or effort regulation for living marine biological resources regulated by the annual Conference of the Parties, including changing Annex to the Bering Sea Convention, which would bring or maintain the achievement of the maximum sustainable yield exploitation rate at the latest by 2020. Where necessary, those conservation and management measures shall include specific measures for stocks, which suffer from overfishing to keep the fishing effort in line with available fishing opportunities;
measures to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing activities in the Bering Sea Convention area, including IUU vessel listing;
measures to reinforce fisheries' scientific data collection and promote better cooperation between the industry and scientists;
monitoring, control and surveillance measures in the Convention Area in order to ensure efficiency of control and compliance with measures adopted within the annual Conference of the Parties;
measures to minimise the negative impact of fishing activities on marine biodiversity and marine ecosystems and their habitats, including measures to reduce marine pollution and prevent the discharge of plastics at sea and reduce the impact on marine biodiversity and ecosystems of plastics present at sea, protective measures for vulnerable marine ecosystems in the Bering Sea Convention area in line with the FAO International Guidelines for the Management of Deep-sea Fisheries in the High Seas, and measures to avoid and reduce as far as possible unwanted catches, including in particular vulnerable marine species, and to gradually eliminate discards;
measures to reduce the impact of Abandoned, Lost or Otherwise Discarded Fishing Gear (ALDFG) in the ocean and to facilitate the identification and recovery of such gear;
measures aimed at the prohibition of fisheries conducted solely for the purpose of harvesting shark fins and requiring that all sharks are landed with each fin naturally attached;
recommendations, where appropriate and to the extent permitted under the relevant constituent documents, encouraging the implementation of the Work in Fishing Convention of the International Labour Organisation (ILO);
common approaches with other RFMOs, where appropriate, in particular those involved in fisheries management in the same region;
additional technical measures based on advice from the subsidiary bodies and working groups of the annual Conference of the Parties.
