Specific issues of importance to the sector are addressed within the appropriate Commission which may decide to prepare a Resolution on the topic.

Such Resolutions are presented to the Assembly for decision. If a positive vote is obtained, the Resolutions are sent by the FEAP to the Commission of the EU and other bodies of importance and are disseminated further by the National Associations.

Where specific issues require further detailed examination, special Working Groups can be formed (usually under the  chairmanship of  the most appropriate Commission) for further examination. Such Working Groups report their conclusions to the Assembly of the Federation and provide their conclusions for ulterior communication. 

At the present, Working Groups exist for the achievement of specific tasks, as requested by the FEAP Assembly, covering the following topics:

• Large Trout
• Mediterranean Aquaculture
