Synopsis (short abstract) The third session of the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) Committee on Aquaculture (CAQ) met in Zaragoza, Spain, from 25 to 27 September 2002 and was attended by delegates from ten Members of the Commission. The Session reviewed the status of aquaculture in the region and the activities of the networks linked to the Committee. The Committee approved the proposed workplans of the networks and acknowledged the need to strengthen collaboration with relevant national and re gional organizations. The importance of information exchange was addressed and it was recommended that regular aquaculture reports covering production and marketing trends be undertaken and published. Discussions on the proposed work programme were linked to the GFCM autonomous budget. The Committee emphasized that the forecast of CAQ expenditure within the Autonomous budget would need to be reviewed. CAQ endorsed the recommendation of the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) to establish a joint SAC/CAQ/ICCAT Ad Hoc Working Group on Sustainable Tuna Farming/Fattening Practices in the Mediterranean. The Committee discussed the regional aquaculture project idea adopted at its Second Session and agreed that a revised project proposal be prepared.

    The Ad Hoc Meeting of Experts on the External Evaluation of the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) Committee on Aquaculture (CAQ) and its Networks was held in Rome, Italy, from 29 to 30 March 2004. The meeting was attended by six experts from CAQ in their personal capacity and by the consultant recruited for undertaking the evaluation. Initially only an external evaluation of the SIPAM network (Information System for the Promotion of Aquaculture in the Mediterran ean) was recommended at the third session of the Committee and endorsed by the Commission at its twenty-seventh session. Subsequently, the call for a full external evaluation of CAQ, including all of its Networks, since its inception was requested by the Commission at its twenty-eight session in view of the forthcoming entry into force of the GFCM autonomous budget. On the basis of the report of the consultant, the Meeting of Experts reviewed and summarized major achievements of CAQ and its networks. It identified strengths and weaknesses of its modus operandi and provided recommendations towards addressing the limitations faced by the Committee over recent years. In support of a sustainable development of the Mediterranean aquaculture sector and in the context of the autonomous budget, the Meeting concurred that the size and composition of an expanded GFCM Secretariat would have the desirable influence on the functioning of the CAQ and its networks.
