Less red tape. More investment. More future for Europe’s fishers.
Today we propose simpler European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF) rules to modernise fleets, back young & small-scale fishers, support the energy transition and strengthen coastal communities.
EU funding easier to access for fishers and aquaculture producers across the 🇪🇺.
Commission proposes to simplify fisheries and aquaculture funding - Oceans and fisheries https://t.co/RhFWonDzlT
The Commission is seeking feedback on a possible targeted amendment of #EMFAF. The aim is to gather evidence on how the Fund could be simpler, flexible & easier to implement, while aligning EU law with WTO rules on fisheries subsidies.
Open until 21 July: https://t.co/dYcQ4SFHIe
At today’s @EU_CoR plenary debate, we exchanged on the future of EU support for fisheries, aquaculture, and the ocean under the next MFF.
Local and regional authorities are key partners in shaping and delivering these policies on the ground. As we move forward with the MFF, we need a funding framework that helps coastal communities innovate and remain resilient and competitive. To achieve this, we must make full use of the new budget architecture to maximise available funds.
🌍 Regions will be key to turning these ambitions into tangible results.
The info day this week offered lots of useful advice for the #EMFAF call on smart specialisation and regenerative ocean farming

Why is #marinedata important?
It powers better decisions, supports economic growth, and helps us understand our changing oceans.
#EMFAF-funded EMODnet is at the heart of this mission, providing data for a sustainable ocean future.

C'était il y a exactement 40 ans, à Douaumont.
Par ce geste historique, Helmut Kohl et François Mitterrand, deux pionniers de l'UE 🇪🇺, affirmaient leur volonté d'un avenir d'unité et de paix.
Leur vision continue de nous inspirer.
Ecosystem services are key for our economies, but often overlooked in economic analysis
Economic indicators such as Gross Domestic Product don't reflect nature's contributions
This report by @EU_ScienceHub shows the importance of adding nature’s value �� https://t.co/kDDhsie1us
Habemus #NRL!

and those having doubts today will hopefully understand better its relevance in the future
What an incredible journey !!!
.@GraceOSllvn was gracious as ever in accepting the result of the election last night. I asked her to run for office some 10 years ago, because we all knew she is one of Ireland’s bravest environmental campaigners. Her fight continues & we look forward to seeing what comes next.
Help us assess the performance of fisheries & maritime funds!

#MC13@wto regrettably didn’t deliver the deal we sought for to tackle fisheries subsidies that lead to overcapacity & overfishing.
The EU worked tirelessly to succeed.
We remain committed to tackling these issues through #CFP & our Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreements.

Tonight, exactly 5 years after @EU_Commission tabled its proposal for a revision of the EU fisheries control system, we have reached a political agreement with @EUCouncil & @Europarl_EN.
Its future will be modern, digital & will ensure a level playing field for our fishers!
