the comparison of the results generated by the model with other related sources of date; the use of screening and cross-validation studies; the tests of sensitivity of the model to parameters' estimation;

In order to ensure respect of the obligations laid down in Articles 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 14 and 17, each Member State shall establish a validation system comprising in particular cross-checks and verification of data resulting from these obligations.

In order to facilitate the monitoring specified in Article 25, each Member State shall establish a system of validation which shall include in particular verification by crosschecking information on fleet fishing capacity and activity contained;

Member States shall adopt the necessary measures to facilitate the collection, validation and cross-referencing of data.

the use of screening and cross-validation studies; the tests of sensitivity of the model to parameters' estimation;

Comments should for example cover the selection procedure of these models (i.e. why a given model has been chosen in preference to alternative ones), if relevant the associated estimation error of the corresponding estimates, elements on the verification of the assumptions underlying the model, the test of the predictive power of the model using historical data, the comparison of the results generated by the model with other related sources of data, the use of screening and cross-validation studies, the tests of sensitivity of the model to parameters' estimation, the validation of the data inputs to the model.
