    Countries of the Eastern Mediterranean (Cyprus, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Turkey) are participating in this project. The project aims to prepare participating countries to set-up and harmonize their fishery statistics systems and participate in full in the activities of the MedFIsis project. The General Fishery Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM), at its Twenty-sixth Session (Ischia, September 2001), endorsed a project proposal to develop a Mediterranean Fishery Statistics and Info rmation System (MedFIsis), as presented by the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) Sub-Committee on Statistics and Information (SCSI). The three year project MedFIsis is jointly financed by FAO and the European Union. Such a regional system is recognized to be necessary to complement other fisheries management means and serve as the basic vital tool for international bodies to monitor the state of the Mediterranean fisheries and the well-being of the whole ecosystem in the basin.
