The Commission has continued to participate in the work of the FAO/ACMRR Working Party on Marine Mammals. The Chairman of the Scientific Committee has attended meetings as the IWC observer and other members of the Committee are members of the working groups.

The outgoing Secretary attended an informal meeting of the staff of regional fishery bodies and the Sub-Committee on the Development of Co-operation with International Organisations concerned with Fisheries, organised by the FAO Committee on Fisheries. His report of these meetings was received by the Commission.

The Commission was also represented by observers at the annual meeting of the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea and at the regular meeting of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas.
