   Adds new criteria for identifying non-sustainable fishing, including unilateral measures, discriminatory measures, and inaction against IUU fishing. Adds procedural requirements for the Commission, including responding to requests within 90 days and raising issues in RFMOs before acting. Clarifies the definition of 'unsustainable state' and adds a definition of 'best available scientific advice'. Extends the scope of non-cooperation to include delays in consultations and adds obligations for continued dialogue and prompt consultations. The other changes are formal or wording: renumbering, rephrasing, and formatting updates.
