| The
Working Parties are subsidiary bodies established by the
Commission for specific purposes. The most common objective
is to provide the Scientific Committee with analyses of
the situation of the stocks as well as an assessment of
possible management actions. Some Working Parties (such
as the Working Party on Tagging or the Working Party on
Data Collection and Statistics) are established with the
purpose of analysing and producing recommendations on
a specific technical problem.
The Working Parties are constituted by scientists attending
in their individual capacity and they do not represent
any particular Member or non-Member countries. Their
meetings are open to all interested parties with expertise
in the relevant issues under the WP consideration.
