This applies to the whole range of management decisions, where precise, reliable and complete data are essential to inform those who must decide on the pursuit of existing activities, especially in the area of maritime fisheries and the development of promising new activities such as aquaculture.

This system was set up at the initiative of the Commission of the European Communities (Directorate-General for Science, Research and Development).
