The International Labour Office presents its compliments to the governments of Member States of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and has the honour to invite their representatives to the High-Level Launch Event of the Partnership for Decent Work in Fisheries: Promoting the ratification and implementation of the ILO Work in Fishing Convention, 2007 (No. 188). This event will take place on Tuesday, 17 March, from 2.00 p.m. to 6.00 p.m. at the Thon Hotel EU, in Brussels.

The European Commission is co-organizing this event with the ILO to promote cooperation among governments, social partners and international stakeholders around the Partnership for Decent Work in Fisheries.
