Paragraph 3
3. Encourages the Commission to lead the way and engage with other major importers with a view to eradicating Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) fishing, by such means as information exchange, enhancing the role of port states and flag states, and the establishment of traceability mechanisms; ; emphasises that the concept of market State responsibility must be more fully developed as a means of closing down the markets for the products of IUU fish; believes that the EU must urgently discuss with other major market States, including but not limited to the US, Japan and China, how to cooperate among themselves, establish effective traceability mechanisms, and, as rapidly as possible, to develop international legal instruments that could halt, prosecute and punish trade in IUU fish, in line with the World Trade Organisation (WTO) rules and within the framework of the United Nations system;
