3.4.1.2 Further extend the approach of standardised
management procedures and risk management. These extensions
could take the form of fully integrated management procedures
that provide a single ‘answer’ and/or a standardised way that
risk is presented under different management options.
Suggested extensions are (i) procedures for calculating catch
limits should be developed for further stocks; (ii) procedures
for spatial allocation of catch, including among SSMUs; and,
(iii) procedures for incorporating information on by-catch,
dependent and associated species into catch limits and spatial
allocations. |

3.4.1.3 The form of the Scientific Committee report
should be reviewed to identify improvements in the efficiency
and effectiveness of (i) reporting status and risk; (ii)
providing management recommendations; and (iii) ensuring
scientific and management focus on the emerging key
challenges. |
