Objective OBJECTIVES AND EXPECTED ACHIEVEMENTSOne of the main objectives of the Common fisheries policy as agreed at the intermediate Ministerial Meeting in Bergen in 1997 and subsequently formulated by the General directorate for fisheries (in: "The Common Fisheries Policy", Section 8. 1) is to consider environmental issues and interactions between fisheries and the ecosystem in fisheries management decisions.This so called ecosystem approach is based on - the identification of processes in, and influence on, the ecosystems which are critical in maintaining their characteristic structure and functioning, productivity and biological diversity- taking into account the interaction among food-webs of the ecosystem- protecting the chemical, physical and biological environment necessary to the well-being of these ecosystems.The commission highlights the role of research in this context and states that as a first step the knowledge of the ecosystem as a whole will be increased.
