C188 enters into force in Spain. A milestone for this fundamental ILO Convention.

LDAC, ETF and Europeche sent a joint letter to the European Commission, requesting the transposition of key international legal instruments on safety and labour standards in the fishing sector. 

The ETF welcomes the green light of the Italian Government for the ratification of the ILO Convention 188 “Work in fishing”. The ETF, together with ITF, will continue to ask as many countries as possible to ratify the Convention 188 and properly implement it. The Convention is a fundamental international instrument to protect fishers’ working conditions and rights.
