Synopsis (short abstract) The fourteenth session of the Subcommittee on Marine Environment and Ecosystems (SCMEE) of the GFCM Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) addressed the proposal of Guidelines on Artificial Reefs for the Mediterranean and Black Sea, reviewed the outcomes of the Workshop on the Regional Management Plan for red coral (including the main provisions of such draft plan), and reviewed the outcomes of the GFCM Working Group on marine protected areas. The SCMEE also agreed on the terms of reference for an ad hoc workshop on elasmobranchs to be held in late 2014, and was informed about recent activities on deep-sea habitats and vulnerable marine ecosystems; in this framework a joint study GFCM – UNEP-MAP RAC/SPA to assess the feasibility of protecting areas less deep than 1000 m from fisheries was proposed. Also, the SCMEE agreed on the amendment of the template of FRA proposal (i.e. section 3.3.1 of the form) and proposed to add some fields to the by-catch data collection section included in the new GFCM data collection reference framework (DCRF).

The fourteenth session of the Compliance Committee (CoC) of the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) was held online on 21 May 2021. The Committee acknowledged the progress made in the implementation of intersessional activities. Concerning the status of compliance with GFCM decisions, the Committee decided to upgrade the compliance categories of some contracting parties and cooperating non-contracting parties (CPCs). More specifically, the European Union, Morocco and Turkey were upgraded to a fully compliant status, whereas Israel was upgraded to a partially compliant status. It also decided that the identification and clarification process would continue on the basis of a compliance assessment scheme which would streamline the detection of infringements and their severity. Several proposals on compliance advice to the Commission were presented and discussed. Finally, the Committee adopted its programme of work for the next intersession. La quatorzième session du Comité d’application de la Commission générale des pêches pour la Méditerranée (CGPM) s’est tenue en ligne le 21 mai 2021. Le Comité a pris note des progrès accomplis dans la mise en œuvre des activités intersessions. S’agissant de l’application des décisions de la CGPM, le Comité a décidé de faire passer certaines parties contractantes et parties non contractantes coopérantes dans des catégories de conformité supérieures. Plus précisément, le Maroc, la Turquie et l’Union européenne sont passés dans la catégorie correspondant à une situation de pleine conformité et Israël est passé dans celle correspondant à une situation de conformité partielle. Le Comité a également décidé que le processus d’identification et d’éclaircissements se poursuivrait sur la base d’un programme d’évaluation de la conformité qui permettrait de rationaliser la détection des infractions et l’évaluation de leur gravité. Plusieurs propositions d’avis en matière d’application à soumettre à la Commission ont été présentées et analysées. Le Comité a adopté son programme de travail pour la prochaine période intersessions.
