Article 5, paragraph 2, of the Convention. Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes the information provided in the Government's report and the text of Instruction No. 17 of 10 April 1991. The Committee notes that the relevant amendment to section 3.2.2 of Instruction No. 57 of 12 September 1990 merely eliminates the previously existing possibility for a holder of a certificate of captain of a coastal fishing vessel to work as a mate on the same category of coastal fishing vessel. The Committee refers to its previous comments with regard to the need for an explicit provision that requires a certificated mate to be carried on all fishing vessels of over 100 gross registered tons engaged in operations and areas to be defined by national laws or regulations. It trusts the Government's next report will provide information on the measures taken or contemplated to give full effect to this Article of the Convention.

Article 9. The Committee notes the information that the Government intends to adopt internal standards to increase to three years the minimum period of experience on board required for first engineers and engineers. It recalls that the National Confederation of Industry (CNI) has drawn attention to this shortcoming and trusts the Government's next report will contain full details on measures to be taken in this regard.

Further to the comments submitted by the National Confederation of Land Transport (CNTT), the Committee notes the information that national legislation applies to all fishing vessels, including independent ones.
