Order PJC/963/2026 amends Order PCM/1140/2022 to redefine the operation of the Fisheries Science Board. Specific functions related to research bodies are removed to focus the Board on dialogue between science, the sector, and civil society. It is established that the Board's Secretariat will be held by the General Secretariat for Fisheries (sole article). Additionally, new membership positions are incorporated to increase the working group's representativeness.
For fisheries sector entities, the scientific community, and environmental NGOs, the regulation expands participation capacity through the inclusion of new membership positions (sole article). Organisations represented on the Board, such as environmental NGOs or trade unions, must formally communicate the individual who will attend meetings on their behalf (sole article, points 14, 15, and 16). The General Secretariat for Fisheries now assumes responsibility for the Board's secretariat.
