IntroductionThe above mentioned meeting took place in the premises of the Secretaría General del Mar in Madrid from 3rd to 5th March 2010. The agenda of the meeting is attached in Annex 1. It was attended by scientists and two National Correspondents from 10 Member states (ES, FR, GER, IT, LV, LIT, PL, MT, PT, and NL) as well as by 2 representatives from ICCAT (see list of participants, Annex II). A coordination meeting between the chairpersons and the Commission representative took place on 2nd March in the premises of the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO). BackgroundAccording to Article 5(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 199/2008 (Data Collection Framework, DCF) Member States shall coordinate their national programmes with other Member States in the same marine region. For this purpose the Commission may organise Regional Coordination Meetings (RCM) in order to assist Member States in coordinating their national programmes and the implementation of the collection, management and use of the data in the same region. So far, four RCMs are operational in the framework of the DCF: Baltic, North Sea/ Eastern Arctic, North Atlantic and Mediterranean/Black Sea. Most fleets subject to DCF activities are covered by these RCMs. However some other fleets, operating namely in third countries and/or in international waters, were not sufficiently covered by the existing RCMs. This was the case for fisheries taking place in CECAF area as well as several tuna fleets operating in the Atlantic or the Indian Ocean. Some Member states show interest before the European Commission in the coverage of fisheries for small pelagic in the new regional fisheries management organisation for the south Pacific SPRFMO.
A list with participants‘ contact details is shown in Annex II. Objectives and organisational aspectsIn order to introduce the issue the Commission representative made a presentation on the main background elements and on the discussion preceding the constitution of this RCM. The overall objective of the meeting was to address for each one of the relevant fisheries the terms of reference established by the Liaison Meeting last December as follows: Allocation fishing grounds/MS Current coordination taking place and prospects for future coordination Inventory of fisheries, naming conventions Identification of metiers (2009 RCMs template to be used) End users feedback Propose issues for following years In order to properly discuss these Terms of Reference the participants worked in three sub-groups according to the thematic/geographical criteria: CECAF (Scientists from IT, PL, LIT, LV, PT, NL and ES) Tuna Fisheries in Atlantic and Indian Oceans (PT, IT, MT, FR, ES) SPRMFMO ( LIT, PL, NL, GER) Feedback from ICCATMoreover, in line with existing RCMs, and in order to strengthen the involvement of data users in these types of meetings contacts with ICCAT Secretary were established. Two of their scientists (Carlos Palma and Laurie Kell) presented an overview on the ICCAT integrated information systems and the stock assessment processes regularly developed form this sets of data. Main outputs of the different subgroupsCECAF FisheriesThe group established two main fishing grounds in the area: Madeira: Only Portuguese fleets operate in this area. These target deep sea species, demersal, pelagic and cephalopods. From Morocco to Guinea Bissau: Diverse fisheries take place in this area (different bilateral fisheries agreements) with participation of Spain, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Netherlands, UK, Ireland, France and Italy. The group indicated concern on the identification of fishing grounds, given that most stocks are present in different fisheries-agreements. Concerning fisheries and further identification of metiers for sampling purposes, In Madeira the number of metiers is 4: longline for black scabbardfish, longline for other species, miscellaneous molluscs and purse seiners. In the Morocco-Guinea Bissau the agreement with Mauritania includes 11 fisheries translated into license types. The agreement with Morocco defines 6 fisheries while the one with Guinea Bissau comprises 4 fisheries. Some of these fisheries deal with tuna species and will be the subject of the Tuna subgroup. Metiers were harmonised at level 6 and can be considered equivalent between Agreements. 4 metiers were retained for sampling purposes: trawlers for crustacean, cephalopods, small pelagic and demersal fish. Two other metiers (purse seine and longline for demersal fish) were not retained (< 90 % in ranking exercise). Portugal referred the existence of some fishing activity in the Morroco-Guinea Bissau area, related to the opportunities established to Portuguese fleet in the Comunity / Coastal States agreements. Data analysis is in place to identify fishing ground and metiers where Portuguese vessels operate. Currently no coordination is being implemented for sampling activities in the Morocco to Guinea fisheries, although Spain is monitoring for catch, effort, length and biological other EU fleets (NL, IRL, FRA, UK) targeting Small Pelagic species and landing in Las Palmas (Gran Canaria). In this context the group recommends that all MS involved in the industrial pelagic fishery ensure adequate sampling coverage for landings and discards. The NL will take initiative with regard to this recommendation before the forthcoming RCM LDF. The group expressed interest in launching workshops on age reading and growth of small pelagic, in cooperation with African colleagues. Three international coordination meetings for stock assessment were identified as priority for the CECAF fisheries in 2011.
