Great exchange with @ettoreprandini_, President of @coldiretti, on the future of 🇪🇺 fisheries and aquaculture.

We discussed the key challenges and priorities for the sector: strengthening the competitiveness of our fisheries, supporting small-scale fishers, accelerating the energy transition, ensuring fair competition, improving the information to consumers and unlocking the potential of EU aquaculture.

Our commitment is clear: delivering concrete solutions for our fishers, producers and coastal communities.

Positive meeting with Director-General Hitoshi Fujita of Japan’s Fisheries Agency. The EU and Japan share key interests and similar challenges. Japan is an important partner in advancing sustainable fisheries, resilient seafood supply chains and a rules-based international order.

[Charlina Vitcheva @vitcheva_eu]

Japan is a strategic maritime security partner for the EU.
Meeting Vice Admiral Wataru Sasaki, Vice-Commandant of the Japan Coast Guard, offered an opportunity to discuss coast guard cooperation, ocean observation and global initiatives like the #OceanEye International Alliance.

[Charlina Vitcheva @vitcheva_eu]
