Abstract

STECF-SGECA 10-01 convened in Copenhagen during the 8-11th of February 2010 to discuss and seek agreement on the content, indicators, methodologies and format of the 2010 Annual Economic Report (AER). The latest (DCF) data call requirements and how they affect the contents of the AER were also clarified. The availability of new economic and transversal variables are for the first time available under the DCF meant there was an opportunity to include new indicators and variables in the report and also modify the existing ones if necessary, implying significant changes to some or all chapters of the report. Therefore, proposals for improved contents and the overall structure were discussed. In addition, the economic policy advice needs related to the AER were specified, so that the information contained in the report could be appropriately designed with the end users in mind.JRC.DG.G.4-Maritime affair
