The use of modern technology to improve market intelligence (for instance with the creation of electronic marketplaces, online marketing and auctions or swipe-card systems at quayside) should be promoted in the framework of the future European Maritime and Fisheries Fund.

Other applications of new technology should be considered in this context, such as the swipe-card system used by fishing vessels in Galicia.

If there is neither a microprocessor nor a magnetic stripe, the front side of the card will be the side on which the information outlined in this document is presented.
