Intersessional subgroups (ISSGs)
Novel approach to the segmentation of fishing fleets based on fishing patterns and stock exploitation rather than technical characteristics, as it is the current practice.
- Related to ToR 3
- Panregional
Training session on methodologies in Handbook, virtual training from Finland 4.-6.5.2021
- Related to ToR 4
- Panregional
- Testing if the transversal data from FDI can be used as input for the AER
- Discussion on the timing of the data calls. Is the preliminary transversal data submitted in February necessary? Only capacity is mandatory to submit as preliminary data.
- Sharing the experiences and best practices on the data collection and estimation of the energy consumption for the fleet.
- The workshop should also consult end users to understand if more detailed data is needed in order to respond to the broadening data needs of the end users.
A refinement of existing variables and addition of new ones. Provide Guidelines, definition and methodologies separated by sectors (fishing fleet, aquaculture and fish processing).
- Related to ToR 5
- Panregional
The clarification for DCF and EU-MAP segmentation. Discussion about AER Aquaculture meeting structure. Discussion about the content to be included in the AER nowcast.
- ToR for RCG ECON 2022
- Panregional
- An exchange of experiences with the valuation of intangibles for the further development of these methods (eg. application of discounted cash flow method or hedonic regression).
- Assessing the quality of the fishing right estimates and formulating guidelines on how to improve the quality
Work in collaboration together with Fishn´Co project:
- Comparative analysis between MS on capital value and capital cost estimation.
- Identification of the level of ambition for regional coordination and issues which might be solved by international cooperation.
- Preparation of a draft Regional Work Plan on socioeconomic data collection strategies and statistical methods of data estimation considering the Quality Assurance Framework.
- Development of National profiles and refinement of existing social variables.
Work in progress for Fleet Alternative segmentation application for economic analysis and methodology development.
Organisation and conducting the Aquaculture Workshop focusing on methodological and technical aspects regarding specific challenges of data collection in freshwater aquaculture, allocation of companies to segments, data reporting structure, quality checks and harmonization of conversion indices of fry.
Level of Ambition interactive infographic is an output of Fishn’Co project in close collaboration with ISSGs and RCGs experts. The infographic is the result of the compilation, identification and analysis of the status of regional coordination and it is aimed to inform the design of the RWP structures.
