Meetings taking place in the period January to end March 2014 are covered under the Commission’s 2013 budget. This implies that all invitation letters containing financial commitments (i.e. expert invitations) for these meetings must be issued before the end year. Thus expert registration deadline has been set for 13 December 12:00h Ispra time.

Maximum 6 Observers
As the EWG will deal with ToRs specific to Bay of Biscay anchovy and North Sea flatfish preference will be given to persons affiliated to the respective RACS. Nominations need to be sent by the respective RAC secretariat to the STECF-secretariat. Other individuals are welcomed to register as observers but can only be accommodated if space becomes available.

Please Note: Only those receiving an invitation letter to attend a meeting as observers will be granted access to the meeting. If you are interested to attend the meeting as observer please make yourself familiar with the rules and procedures for observer registration/invitation including the protocol for observers.

Deadline for the expression of interest to attend a meeting is 20 working days before the start of a meeting. Those experts who register after the deadline will be given lower priority depending on the number of registered participants and seats available.
The process for selecting participants for STECF meetings is as follows: the chairman, the coordinator the focal point and the STECF secretariat contact interested organisations and inform them of the upcoming meeting and invite suitable candidates to register their interest. As the meeting date approaches the secretariat takes the list of people who have registered and forwards it to the DG-MARE focal point, chairman and coordinator. The participants are chosen from the list based on their experience, but also in order to create a balanced group of participants (not too few, not too many) that covers the relevant geographical areas as well as areas of expertise. The list is published and an invitation letter is prepared. Only once an expert has received an invitation letter can travel be arranged.
