Registration Instructions

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.

Important information for the experts. Please read the following carefully

With effect from 2014, compensation payments under Article 9.1 of Commission Decision 2005/629/EC (http://stecf.jrc.ec.europa.eu/index.html) should be paid from the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF). Regrettably, until the entry into force of the EMFF and the formal adoption of the DG MARE work program, which will follow the adoption of the EMFF, it is not possible to provide this compensation. Therefore, for STECF meetings (Bureau, Plenary and Expert Working Groups) taking place between April 2014 and the entry into force of the EMFF, experts will only receive a reimbursement of their travel costs and a subsistence allowance, based on the rules established in the Commission Decision C(2007)5858 of 5/12/2007 (for more information, see the annex). When the Commission is in a position to resume payments of the compensation under Article 9.1 of Commission Decision 2005/629/EC for future meetings, following the entry into force of the EMFF, experts will be notified accordingly.
