Abstract
There can be no doubt that the Convention on the Law of the Sea (the LOSC)I is the basis for contemporary international fisheries law, which is essentially completed by two other, very relevant international Conventions: the 1993 FAO Agreement to Promote Compliance with International Conservation and Management Measures by Fishing Vessels on the High Seas, and the 1995 UN Agreement for the Implementation of the Provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 relating to the Conservation and Management of Straddling Fish Stocks and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks3 . Spain is bound by these international treaties, and other multilateral or bilateral international regulations related to the conservation and sustainable management of living marine resources, either as an individual country or as a European Union (EU) Member State.
