The future of the Common Fisheries Policy depends on progress in the relevant areas of research. 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. The Commission wants to act as a catalyst, by promoting the circulation of information and the coordination of research programmes. DG XIV has therefore decided to compile this directory, which lists the research centers of the Member States. Specific information from each research center is also listed: research activities, facilities, etc.
