EBCD provides the Secretariat of the
IUCN European Sustainable Use Specialist Group ( IUCN, SSC, ESUG,
FWG).
Since 1998 the ESUSG is providing
input to the IUCN policy, particularly to the preparations of
CBD, the IUCN Marine Programme, the World Conservation Congress as
well as to EU Common Fisheries Policy, Environment, Agriculture and
others.

Secretariat and coordination of the Fisheries Working Group (FWG)
of the ESUSG of which Despina Symons acts as the Coordinator.
This group established in
1998, consists of fisheries and agriculture experts from all
disciplines and all regions of Europe. The group meets regularly
twice a year to analyse existing European fisheries policy and
management aspects, provides recommendation advice to the IUCN
Marine Programme and policy makers in the EU. |
