Welcome to the ASEM Aquaculture Platform


The ASEM Aquaculture Platform intends to work out an action-oriented agenda for co-operation and to develop a multi-stakeholder platform for dialogue, networking and continued coordination concerning sustainable aquaculture between EU and Asia.
Through its different stakeholders the platform aims to reconcile ecological and socio-economic demands and introduce or consolidate concepts of sustainability in aquaculture development in both regions. The platform connects experts, the public and policy-makers by disseminating knowledge up to policy levels as well as down to farmers or consumers.

This site
offers information and services to the members of the platform as well as to the broader public. 

Registration is only useful for project partners and platform members as all pertinent information is open to the public anyhow. Registration is only used for specific project management tasks.

The ASEM 6 Summit held in September 2006 decided to admit Bulgaria and Romania on the European side, and India, Mongolia, Pakistan and the ASEAN Secretariat on the Asian side to the ASEM process, upon their completion of the necessary procedures (for Bulgaria and Romania, upon their accession to the EU). Now, the twenty five EU Member States, the European Commission and thirteen Asian countries (Brunei, Burma/Myanmar, China, Cambodia, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Laos, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam) participate in the process.

Key characteristics of the ASEM process include:
  • It is informal. It provides an open forum for policy makers and officials to discuss any political, economic and social issues of common interest. In this way it complements work carried out in bilateral and multilateral fora, such as the United Nations (UN) and World Trade Organisation (WTO).
  • It is multidimensional, covering the full spectrum of relations between the two regions, and devoting equal weight to political, economic and cultural issues.
  • It emphasises equal partnership, through a process of dialogue and cooperation based on mutual respect and mutual benefit.
  • It provides a platform for meetings at a high level (heads of state or government, ministers and senior officials), and with an increasing focus on fostering people-to-people contacts in all sectors of society.
