EU-ASEAN Consultation on aquaculture Jakarta - August 2014 1. Reconcile concerns for seafood security, quality and safety 2. Identify joint research, education and business opportunities Policy Research and Innovation

Policy Research and Innovation

Conclusion of the Jakarta meeting The “ Sustainable Intensification of Aquaculture ” was identified by both EU and ASEAN participants as the major challenge ahead to meet global seafood security needs for future generations, where issues relating to Animal health,  Ecosystem-based farming approaches,  New sources of feed/food security issues,  New production systems adapted from the EU,  Governance in spatial planning and  under acceptable socio-economic conditions .  Research Policy and Innovation

Diseases a major challenge  Resistant stocks  Use of vaccines  Understand host immunity, pathogens, environment  Safe & effective use of therapeutic/ prophylactic agents  Rapid diagnostic tools  Selective breeding programmes for quality seeds production

Areas of Common interest It was also agreed that in order to address these global challenges, more concerted efforts are needed to reinforce capacity building by better alignment of capacity building efforts by EU  partners facilitation of the formal establishment of the present  ASEAN FEN initiative, and develop new initiatives for joint course and degree  programmes.
