531. Pelagic habitats under MSFD D1 : scientific advice of policy relevanceChiara Magliozzi, Jean Noel Druon, Andreas Palialexis, Laura Aguzzi, Konstantinos Antoniadis, Luis Felipe Artigas, Arianna Azzellino, Elena Bisinicu, Laura Boicenco, Natalia Bojanić, Patrizia Borrello, Simona Boschetti, Vanda Carmo, Sanda Skejić, Olja Vidjak, Janja Francé, Živana Ninčević Gladan, 2021, treatise, preliminary study, study Abstract: The pelagic habitat is the largest biome on Earth, key for temperature regulation, oxygen, and food production. Its physical and biological components and processes vary spatially and temporally depending on multiple drivers. Understanding this variability, processes and interactions is fundamental to identify the drivers of changes and properly assess pelagic habitats under the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). A JRC workshop was organised to align scientific and policy expectations for an improved MSFD pelagic habitat assessment. The workshop brought together experts from the 17 EU Member States and other organisations (e.g. Regional Sea Conventions) across Europe to share knowledge and methods and provide a coordinated regional input towards a harmonised assessment. This report summarizes the workshop outcomes and the way forward for pelagic Good Environmental Status (GES) determination.

532. Chemical composition of JF mucus : Deliverable No. ǂD5.2Katja Klun, Rasa Slizyte, 2021, treatise, preliminary study, study Abstract: In order to better understand the functionality and composition of jellyfish mucus for biofilter application in microplastic entrapment within WP5, we performed various chemical and biochemical analysis. Altogether, we analyzed nine jellyfish mucus samples from six species (Aurelia aurita sp, Aequorea forskalea, Rhizostoma pulmo, Cotylorhiza tuberculata, Periphylla peryphilla and Rhopilema nomadica). Jellyfish were harvested in five different areas: Norwegian Sea, Northern Adriatic Sea, Ionian Sea, Eastern Mediterranean Sea and at the Jerusalem Aquarium. Basic chemical analysis such as protein, carbohydrate, organic content and amino acid analysis were done on unprocessed freeze dried jellyfish mucus (U-mucus). A more in-depth analysis was done on ethanol extracted (P-mucus) mucus (on all mentioned mucuses except from A. forskalea) by applying amino acid and monosaccharide analysis as well as structural analysis with FTIR spectroscopy, 13C NMR spectroscopy and LC-MS/MS for protein analysis.

533. B-Blue : Building the blue biotechnology community in the MediterraneanAna Rotter, Anja Sergaš, Ernesta Grigalionyte-Bembič, 2021, treatise, preliminary study, study Abstract: The document presents B-Blue project communication and dissemination strategy developed in the framework of WP2. Communication and dissemination plan provides guideline to the B-Blue project partners on how communication and dissemination of the project should be performed.
Communication and dissemination plan is a detailed document explaining all aspects related to B-Blue communication and dissemination:
• main principles of internal and external communication,
• stakeholders mapping, identification of the opinion leaders, distribution of the targeted audiences and tailored messages to be sent to them, timing and role of CT.
• the rules to be followed for building the project’s visual identity,
• communication and dissemination activities, tools and channels,
• creates the tools to monitor how successfully and effectively it is implemented.

534. Video tutorials : Deliverable No. ǂD9.6Ana Rotter, Rachel Tiller, 2022, treatise, preliminary study, study Abstract: Within EU-funded Horizon 2020 projects, ‘Deliverables’ are “outputs that must be produced at a given moment” during the project. This includes, for example, detailed information on the scientific progress of a specific task, a research manuscript, a special report, a technical diagram, a brochure, a software, or another important “building block”. As soon as such a deliverable has been completed, a detailed deliverable report is required to be submitted to and checked by the European Commission (EC). QSPainRelief dissemination items are openly available for download here. In addition, feel free to view our public deliverable reports:

535. Pest risk analysis for Tomato mottle mosaic virus (Tobamovirus)Dirk Jan van der Gaag, Nataša Mehle, 2022, treatise, preliminary study, study Abstract: In 2022, the Working Party on Phytosanitary Regulation decided to not recommend the addition of tomato mottle mosaic virus (ToMMV) to the EPPO List of pests recommended for regulation for the time being, and therefore to not propose risk management options.
Entry: The likelihood of entry was considered as high with a moderate uncertainty, the highest ratings being seeds of tomato and Capsicum, and plants for planting (except seeds and pollen) of tomato and Capsicum. Transfer is less likely if the cultivar carries the resistance genes above. However a small portion of the plants may still become infected (see section 2.7).
Establishment: The likelihood of establishment of ToMMV was rated high for outdoors in the EPPO region where host plants are grown (with a moderate uncertainty). Under protected conditions, the likelihood of establishment was assessed to be moderate (with a moderate uncertainty), because of the wide use of resistant cultivars, and because establishment in protected conditions does not appear to have happened to date.
The magnitude of spread was rated moderate with a high uncertainty. The pest could spread locally by natural dispersal within a production area or more widely via human-assisted mechanical transmission by workers, visitors, tools and equipment as well as with the trade of plants for planting, seed and fruit.
Impact (economic and social) was rated moderate with a moderate uncertainty. Fresh fruit production (in protected crops or in the field) is more likely to be affected, as well as sites producing hybrid seed in the field. However, impact on tomato and Capsicum will depend mostly on the susceptibility of cultivars that are being grown in EPPO countries. Resistant cultivars may not be used in all types of crops and throughout EPPO countries. The direct impact (yield losses, additional crop protection costs) may be low in areas where nearly all tomato crops carry the Tm-22 resistance gene and not different from that of ToMV. However, while a real resistance break has not been shown to date, in one case, ToMMV was reported to be the causal agent for a disease outbreak on tomato cultivars with the Tm-22 gene, and there is some evidence that high temperatures may help to cause expression of symptoms in some Tm-22 cultivars.
The EWG noted that information is lacking regarding the current situation of ToMMV in the EPPO region (see sections 6 and 15). The EWG recommended that ToMMV-specific testing is performed on field samples and seed banks to verify the situation. This recommendation and others are detailed in section 18.

536. Final report on women’s careers progression : deliverable D3.3Ana Rotter, Ernesta Grigalionyte-Bembič, Jan Ulčar, Andrea Wolfram, Janne Haack, Madlen Baumert, Veronika Mešková, Teresa Carvalho, Carina Jordão, Sara Diogo, Hana Himi, Maya Ashkenazi, 2022, treatise, preliminary study, study Abstract: The main objective of this deliverable is to evaluate what impact the CHANGE project had on GEP implementing partners and CHANGE team members. The deliverable is based on the data obtained from self-assessment forms, which were filled in by CHANGE implementing partners in February 2022.
This report presents the views on how the participation in CHANGE project changed the institutional gender equality level and what impact was made to individuals included in the CHANGE project. The results show that inclusion in CHANGE project had significant positive organizational and personal impact to the organizations and CHANGE team members.
