Report Of The Twenty Sixth Session Of The European Inland Fisheries Advisory Commission Zagreb May 17 20 2010

The session reviewed EIFAC's activities since 2008 in the fields of fishery biology and management, aquaculture, protection of the aquatic environment and social and economic issues. The session deliberated on the options for the restructuring and improving of the functioning of the Commission and decided that EIFAC should continue as a fishery body under Article VI of the FAQ Constitution but with an improved structure and modernised Rules of Procedure, subject to endorsement of these decisions by the FAQ Council and the Director-General of FAQ. All Working Parties and Sub-Commissions were abolished and it was decided to adopt a project approach for future working relevant fields. The Twenty-seventh Session will be held in 2012.
