EU project of a Market Observatory
• In a communication of July 2008 to the European
Parliament and to the Council , the Commission
proposed to establish a price monitoring system
• The European Parliament supported this initiative in
an opinion of September 2008 with the allocation of
a budget
• The project to establish a Community based market
observatory has been adopted as one of the specific
objectives of the new Common Market Organisation

EU project of a Market Observatory
• A threefold aim
• A 3 year project which will be managed by DG MARE
(Unit Trade and Markets) with the support of a
consultant.
• In order to know the needs of the potential users, an
evaluation phase was undertaken in May 2009 with
the help of questionnaires sent to MS, stakeholders
and research bodies
Favignana FAO workshop September 2009
Results of the questionnaire
• There is a clear interest among member states, stakeholders and
research bodies to establish a market observatory.
• There is a quasi consensus that such an observatory should be for
use by all parties concerned, i.e. the public administrations,
industry and research bodies
• Member states have expressed a rather limited interest in an
observatory established for the purpose of immediate and timely
data dissemination, preferring other objectives such as ad hoc
analysis of a specific market situation, structural market analysis or
price formation modelling.
• The level of data aggregation/desaggreagtion has to be put forward
in subsequent discussions with MS and stakeholders
Favignana FAO workshop September 2009
General purpose
• To collect and harmonize data all along the supply chain
of fisheries and aquaculture products (i.e. 27 MS) /
disseminate these data / provide ad hoc economic
analyses and price formation studies
• Information about international supply and trade shall
also be gathered in order to complement the data
collected at the European level. That information which
may be mostly qualitative will be used as benchmarks
for the analysis of the European markets.

Four specific objectives
• Objective 1: collection and swift dissemination of price
data for selected species and selected market places
at different stages of the supply chain (fresh products
only).
• Objective 2: continuous market trend analysis following
collection and harmonisation of price and volume data
covering all species and market places at different
stages of the supply chain.

Specific objectives
• Objective 3: yearly structural geographical and product
market analysis based on the consolidated and
exhaustive price and volume data collected at all
stages of the supply chain.
• Objective 4: price formation survey along the supply
chain.

Activities of the Markets Observatory
• Data collection: The first activity of the Observatory will
be to collect data from the most relevant sources in the
Member States, at EU or international level all along the
supply chain. These data sources will be public or
private.
• Data processing: harmonization, integration in a data
server, production of automatic or customized tables
and charts
Favignana FAO workshop September 2009
Activities of the Markets Observatory
• Data analysis: according to species, geographical level
and other specific criteria depending on the stage in the
supply chain
• Data dissemination:
› – Primary data after validation.
› – Processed data after validation and harmonisation (e.g. tables
and charts).
› – Market analyses (e.g. memos, notes and reports).
› – Information about the price and margins formation along the
supply chain.
