The role of MEDAC includes the preparation of opinions on fisheries management and socio-economic aspects in support of the fisheries sector in the Mediterranean, to be submitted to the Member States and the European institutions in order to facilitate the achievement of the objectives of the CFP; MEDAC also proposes technical solutions and suggestions, such as joint recommendations (ex. Art. 18 Reg.1380 / 2013) at the request of the Member States.

AKTEA as well as one of its members, the Andalusian Association of Women in the fisheries sector, joined MEDAC in 2021 with the objective to promote women’s role in fisheries.
