Need Strategic Intervention for adoption of Small Scale Fisheries Guidelines

The International Planning Committee on Food Sovereignty, IPC. shared following note on IG-SSF today. As this is a good strategy until next COFI 31 session in June, I would like to share it with all those who concern on IGSSF adoption and implementation. QUOTED FROM IPC The assembly recognized the need of preparing the next COFI since tomorrow, lobbying to our governments to go to the Canadian Embassies, but also at FAO, UN and EU. We should prepare an official declaration and a 1-2 pages document of evaluation of the SSF round to be addressed to the COFI members and spread out before the end of this week. In the lobby work we should look for the support of the other organizations in the IPC like La Via Campesina or other that can influence the governments. There is the need of a better information sharing on what is going on in the negotiations, starting the should start to work on the implementation with anticipation with an implementation strategy in the next months
