All the States involved must cooperate to coordinate their efforts and harmonise the policies which they implement in their marine regions. In the process of such cooperation and, taking account of the particular features of each region, biological data must be collected, as far as possible, in accordance with common standards. This will produce a highly detailed assessment of the needs of each region, a comparison of research findings and a better evaluation of the impact of the Strategy.
C'est ainsi que l'on obtiendra une estimation plus détaillée des besoins de chaque région, une comparaison entre les résultats des recherches et une évaluation plus précise des effets de la Stratégie.
