There is also a requirement to apply the Convention in such a way so as to ensure that fishing vessels flying the flag of a State that has not ratified the Convention do not receive more favourable treatment than fishing vessels that fly the flag of any State that has ratified it.
另外还要求在适用《公约》时，确保悬挂尚未批准《公约》国家旗帜的渔船不会得到较悬挂已批准《公约》国家旗帜的渔船更优惠的待遇。
