    The holding of the Extraordinary Session of the GFCM was decided by the twenty-third session of the GFCM (July 1998). The mandate of this Session was to review new proposals for a scheme and scale of contributions for an autonomous budget and to decide on an option that takes into consideration views expressed by the GFCM members. Different options were discussed by the Meeting but the Commission could not agree on any of these options and decided to transmit the whole issue to the twenty-fourth session of GFCM expected to be held two days after the present Session (12-15 July 1999).

    The Consultation on the Application of Article 9 of the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries in the Mediterranean Region was the final activity of a special project (TEMP/RER/908/MUL) requested and financed by the Italian Government. It was held at FAO Headquarters in Rome, Italy, from 19 to 23 July 1999. It was attended by delegations from 20 members of GFCM and by observers. The Consultation discussed two working documents presented by the Secretariat. The first was the synthesis of the national reports prepared by the countries, and the second was a proposal for elements to be considered for the preparation of action plans at national and regional levels. Three Working Groups were created to discuss the elements dealing with: dissemination of the Code and improvement of the planning process (Working Group 1), enhancement of harmonization between aquaculture development and environmental conservation (Working Group 2), and use of the Code to upgrade the economic value o f aquaculture and to improve and stabilize trade in aquaculture products in the Mediterranean (Working Group 3). The three Working Group evaluated the document provided by the Secretariat and improved the list of proposed activities. These were also ranked in order of priority at national and regional level and general mechanisms for their implementation were also proposed. The Consultation recommended that the GFCM be the umbrella institution for implementation of the programme of activities id entified by the Working Groups.
