    The ad hoc Meeting of Experts on the Independent Appraisal of the Achievements of the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) of the GFCM was held in Rome, Italy, from 27 to 28 August 2003. The meeting was attended by five experts from SAC in their personal capacity and by a specialized consultant. The appraisal stemmed from an initial suggestion from CopeMed that it would be opportune, in the context of the forthcoming entry into force of the GFCM Autonomous budget, to appraise the work of SAC sinc e its inception. This was supported by the Second Coordinating Meeting of the SAC Sub-Committees. At its Sixth Session in 2003, SAC further welcomed the offer made by the Secretariat to undertake an external evaluation of its achievements (19992003). On the basis of the report of the consultant, the Meeting of Experts reviewed and summarized major achievements of SAC and identified strengths and weaknesses of its process. The meeting further suggested considering a number of preliminary options for improving the efficiency of the Committee, placing emphasis on a task-oriented advisory process driven by GFCM management objectives and an enhanced capacity to formulate management advice, based on multispecies assessments and using multidisciplinary reference points, compliant with an ecosystem approach to fisheries.
