3. Science, research and development European Commission FISHERIES & AQUACULTURE Expert ranked list assessment (25 proposals) Relevant KA priorities served  Aqua./Fish. balance (1/3 -2/3)  3 Mediterranean proposals  Successful props. in all areas  Environmental interactions/ Fish. (2prop.) /Aqua (2 prop.)  Fish. Management (7 prop. with 2 acoustic methods)  Aquaculture (3 general + 4 genetics - Salmon & seabass)  VMS & traceability in 5.4.3  5 props. in 5.4.4. (Soc-eco) with 1 on ICZM (5.5.1) Major shortcomings  Only 2 CA & 1 TN (11%)  Some proposals not well targeted on call priorities  Nothing on gear selectivity  Limited relevance to CFP  1233, 1836 of little use  2 rejections (1534, 1298) in stage 2 (< 3.50) despite CFP relevance

4. Science, research and development European Commission FISHERIES & AQUACULTURE Overall assessment (105 proposals) Relevant KA priorities served  balance between areas interactions (11% +8%) management (30%) aquaculture (13% + 23%) Monitoring (6%) Socio-economics (8%)  genome mapping of 2 Medit. Species  stock identification methods for cod & herring  improved survey methods (trawl & acoustics) Essential gaps  6.7% CA but 43% success rate  Call priorities better targeted (no proposal out of scope)  Lack of multi-disciplinarity or insufficient integration  relevant proposals often of insufficient scientific quality  Lack of information on methodologies  Lack of risk assessment  5 unsuccessful proposals on gear/benthos impacts

5. Science, research and development European Commission Sustainable fisheries: Anticipated deliverables Objective information in support of policy orientations and Community measures (CFP) Development of tools & methods to foster, assess, measure and monitor fisheries competitiveness & sustainability to anticipate the CFP needs for adaptation to reduce negative impacts on the environment to enhance societal benefits Assessment of the effectiveness of these tools, methods and policy instruments
