The Committee reviewed the intersessional activities of its four Sub-committees and those of the regional projects supporting the Commission, as well as the outcome of the Coordinating Meeting of the Sub-committees (CMSC). The SAC reviewed and reformulated managment advice; it furthermore appreciated the gradual imlementation of the 40 mm square mesh codend of bottom trawls. It was also noted that progress was achieved on the measurement, calibration and allocation of fishing effort and adopted the statistical scheme (Task 1 matrix) for the data collection on Operational Units (OUs). The SAC has also encouraged the use of socio-economic indicators in fisheries management, including in recreational fisheries. It was proposed to relaunch the acitivities of the GFCM/ICCAT International Joint Working Group on Large Pelagic Species and the workplan for 2007 was agreed.
