1 2.3 Discuss a possibility to transfer the biological data from Mediterranean and Black Sea data call into the FDI format/database 3 – Test the comparability between the data collected in the FDI database and data provided for the fleet socio-economic data call 3.1 For 2017-2018 data, map fleet segments found in the FDI database to fleet segments found in the Fleet Economic database. [...] 6 - Produce dissemination tables and maps of spatial effort and landings by c- squares 6.1 Discuss results of ToR 2.1 and 2.2 of the EWG 21-10 and agree the format of the Table A and biological data (FDI Tables C, D, E and F) and of the refusal rate data to be publicly disseminated in the future. [...] That means that the “discards domain” usually would equate to the strata in the sampling and estimation; - The partitioning of the discards into Table A is suggested to be carried out by use of the same variable that was used for the raising of the total discards; - It is recommended that MS also ensures partitioning of discards with zero landings in Table A. [...] 7 Issue of transfer of the biological data from Mediterranean and Black Sea data call into the FDI format/database DGMARE considers the need to rationalize the FDI database towards the establishment of a pan-European database including data for all the fisheries regions, while at the moment biological data from the Mediterranean and the Black Sea are the only ones not present in the FDI database. [...] STECF observes that the EWG21-10/12 analysed the present status of the both data sets and considered that the transfer of the biological data from the Mediterranean and Black Sea data calls into the FDI format/database is technically feasible and some tools have been already developed by the STREAM project.
