On Thursday, 5 December 2024, the Committee on Fisheries hold a public hearing entitled “How scientific advice is developed for EU Fisheries Policy decisions". This public hearing aims to get a closer insight at how the collection, evaluation and assessment of fisheries data is organised and how the scientific advice leads to political decisions on EU fisheries management, in particular regarding the establishment of fishing opportunities and technical measures.
Scientific advice, based on reliable data, is key for policy development and decision making, for instance in the process of setting fishing opportunities and the adoption of conservation and management measures. Speakers from international (ICES, STECF) and national scientific bodies will explain how scientific advice is provided to achieve a sustainable management of the fisheries and marine resources.
