Aiming of Research onAiming of Research onFisheries in FP7 Fisheries in FP7

Promoting a scientific basis for responsible, ecosystem-based and

sustainable management of the European’s Fisheries in support

to the reform of the CFP:

a. Improving the scientific and technical basis of fisheries

management

b. Better understanding of interactions in the marine ecosystem and

with other ecosystems

c. Safeguarding consumer health

d. Supporting international cooperation

e. Integration into the broader context of Integrated Maritime Policy
