  activities primarily in trans-national protected
  area and other natural resources management in
  South East Europe

  in the Caucasus
• We do not envisage a large team of Secretariat
  staff to manage field projects in Europe
• although we may need some additional staff to do
  our work more effectively.
• The European Secretariat should support Members
  and National Committees in their work, and
  provide the links between Commissions, Members
  and global Secretariat programme staff.

Key programme areas where the European
Secretariat has limited or no capacity Agriculture
and food security Economics Energy and related
issues Climate Change fisheries If Members want
the Secretariat to work in these critical areas,
we will need to create capacity, either through
secondments and support by Members and partners,
or through project funding.
