| Joint-AC Advice on Stakeholder Engagement in ICES Advice request formulation | The NSAC, LDAC, PelAC, NWWAC, SWWAC and BSAC jointly sent a letter to the Commission to request that the EU as the requester of scientific advice to ICES establishes a mechanism for early signalling of advice requests and a process for engagement in scientific advice request formulation in a structured step-by-step approach, by initially focusing on special advice and potentially moving to recurring advice in the future. Enhanced transparency and information-sharing with Advisory Councils could be the first step, eventually developing into a systematic consultation with the relevant Advisory Councils. | 2024 | Letter to COM |
