    The Expert Meeting on Climate Change Implications for Mediterranean and Black Sea Fisheries, was held at the GFCM, Rome, 4–6 December 2017, with the objective to provide technical support the development of an adaptation strategy to cope with the potential effects of climate change on fisheries, in the framework of the GFCM Mid-term strategy (2017–2020) towards the sustainability of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea Fisheries. The meeting was attended by experts working on Mediterranean and Black Sea fisheries and experts engaged in the assessment of projected impacts of climate change to the Mediterranean and Black Seas. The meeting reviewed the existing information on the observed and expected impacts of climate change on Mediterranean and Black Sea fisheries, as well as the most relevant elements on vulnerability and the existing and potential adaptation measures. Agreement was reached on the need to enhance the knowledge on the implications of climate change to fisheries in the region and to identify options to cope with the expected impacts. In this regard, the meeting elaborated elements of a methodology to assess risks and vulnerabilities of fisheries to climate change. A roadmap for the review, endorsement and application of the methodology was elaborated aiming at contributing to the elaboration of regional climate change adaptation strategy in the mid-term.

    The eleventh session of the Compliance Committee (CoC) was held on 29–30 June 2017 in Rome, Italy. Following the conclusions of the CoC intersessional meeting (January 2017, Italy), the session reviewed the work carried out during the intersessional period and took stock of the progress made in the implementation of Target 3 of the Mid-term strategy (2017–2020) towards the sustainability of Mediterranean and Black Sea fisheries. Moreover, the session analysed the national reports submitted by th e contracting parties and cooperating non-contracting parties on the status of implementation of decisions adopted by the Commission at its thirty-ninth session (May 2015, Milan) and fortieth session (May/June 2016, Malta) and furthered its deliberations on the ongoing identification and clarification process, including in relation to relevant noncontracting parties. Proposals for new decisions relating to compliance issues expected to be adopted by the Commission at its upcoming session were di scussed, including the draft Regional plan of action for the fight against illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing. Important aspects associated to the control of fishing operations, with particular reference to a joint inspection plan for demersal fisheries in the Strait of Sicily, were outlined. The session adopted its work programme for the next intersessional period and elected the new members of the CoC Bureau.
