Abstract
The MEDRAP II third Network Steering Committee meeting took place in Tirana, Albania on December 10–11, 1992.
The meeting took note of the progress already achieved through various regional and national activities carried out during the current year. The meeting also considered the submitted budget reflecting updated expenditures and commitments and discussed the future allocations.
While the strategy for the perennity of the Mediterranean cooperation was the major theme of the agenda, the Tirana meeting considered the conclusions of the Ad Hoc Committee held previously in Algiers. Proposals on Post-MEDRAP structure based on the involvement of the exissting coordinating institutions in the future activities rather than to create a new structure was adopted.
The meeting also adopted the recommendations of th Training Seminar, held two days before the Steering Committee, which were to implement networks on Technology and on Socio-Economic and Legal Aspects of Aquaculture rather than to create networks on Research and Training as these are vital components of each activity.
At the end, the meeting agreed on the next Steering Committee date and venue.

Note from the reviser
The revision and publication of this document could only be done a long time after the closure of the project. This has led to some difficulties in finalising the documents and implementing corrections, because authors and contributors as well as some of the original material or files were no longer available.
Therefore contributions from participants and session papers annexed to most of the documents were left in their original form. No language corrections were introduced, the content was not modified and left under their respective authors' responsibility.
Considering the above, we hope that the reader will understand that a standard of publication could not be maintained on a level as high as we would have liked it to be.
