1 Ten Years of Fisheries Data Collection for Scientific Advice in EU Cristina Ribeiro Fabrizio Natale Hendrik Doerner Serving society Stimulating innovation Supporting legislation

2 Outline - STECF on a timeline - Data provision for scientific advise - Institutional Setting - Challenges for the future 2

3 STECF on a Timeline: Legal Framework 1979 STCF (79/572/EEC) Legal Basis: EEC Treaty Scope of the advice: marine and fisheries biology and fishing technology or similar disciplines STECF (93/619/EC) Legal Basis =EEC Treaty Scope of the advice enlarges fishery economics or similar disciplines or in connection with the requirements of research in the fields of fishing and aquaculture 2005 STECF (2005/629/EC) Basis: EEC Treaty + Art 33 (1) CFP Scope of the advice: requirements of research and data collection in the fields of fishing and aquaculture New: Adhoc requests, JRC STECF secretariat 3

4 STECF on a Timeline Data Provision for Scientific Advice Four main periods can be distinguished: Ad-hoc data provision Data provision under DCR Data provision under DCF Data provision rev.dcf/dcmap 4

5 : data provision under DCR Data policies: EU Framework on data collection, management, provison and transmission; since Legal framework only allowing data to be kept 20 days, after that data must be destroyed; First data calls under DCR remit for scientific advise STECF started in Data Transmission: From 2005 STECF secretariat JRC and data calls serviced by JRC IT facilities with support of JRC experts; However, due to very limited life cycle; the datasets were called more than once. Data Coverage and Quality: MS have shown dificulties with formats/platforms for data provision. Data calls: Fleet Economic; Effort regimes and Discards data. 5

6 : data provision under DCF Data Policies: New EU Framework; JRC helds on behalf of STECF European databases for Fleet economic, effort data, Med & BS biological data, Medits data, Aquaculture, fish processing; Increasingly policy on data availability; Appendixes of STECF reports publicly STECF website; output data from STECF reports disseminate through a specific tool that allows data exploration Increasingly policy on data quality. Data Transmission: New platform for data exchange: EXCEL templates substitute XML formats. Data Coverage and Quality: Level of coverage and MS capacity in coping with formats increased. Data calls: Fleet Economic; Effort regimes; Mediterranean & Black Sea biologic data; Aquaculture Economics and Processing Industry. 6

7 JRC structure to support data provision to STECF Upload Facility: Secure connection; Pre-data validation; TIMELINESS Five European databases: Effort Regimes; Fleet Economics (transversal data & economics) Fish Processing (economic & production) Aquaculture (economic & production) Mediterranean and Black Sea IT Tools supporting stronger data quality policy: EXCEL Tools for Data validation prior submission Java Open source tools: Postgres R scripts DATA INTEROPERABILITY SAFE STORAGE SOUNDNESS, ACCURACY, PRECISION In-house Expertise on handling and managing Fisheries data COORDINATION & KNOW- HOW 7

8 The Institutional setting, workflow, data flow Data dissemination Coverage DG MARE JRC - STECF JRC - DCF Aggregated data Data call National institutes Raw data Aggregation, processing

9 STECF on a Timeline: Outcomes reports released: advice on: basis for / fed into: Commission legislative proposals to the EU Council and /or European Parliament (e.g. on Tac & Quota setting) Commission communications (e.g. Fishing opportunities) DCF Framework Reform of CFP Reference reports: e.g. AER Fleet economics 9

10 Future challenges Coordination Regional Approach Data interoperable Accuracy Timeliness Ecossystem Approach Non Duplication Sound scientific knowledge Increase data publicly available Personal data protection Long term Sustainability Increase access data sources Landings Obligation Multiannual management plans 10

12 Challenges for the future - standards data shall attain (newly reformed CFP article 25(2)): Accuracy, reliability and timeliness, avoidance of duplication through improved coordination, safe storage in database systems, improved availability of data, compliance with laws on personal data protection, access for the European Commission. 12
