The Commission is also involved in other aspects of fisheries regulation, and since 1993 fishery control has become an important dimension of the bilateral management cooperation. In connection with the Commission's 30th anniversary, FNI Senior Research Fellow Geir Hønneland has been engaged to write an analytical history book of the Commission. The Norwegian version of the book was presented during the Commission's 30th session in November 2006.
