EFF divided between MS in particular:•size of their fisheries sector, •the number of people in the sector, •continuity of the activities
How much money for which areas ?

Main financial instrument to support the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP).
It helps to:• Promote a sustainable balance between resources and fishing
capacity. • Strengthen the competitiveness of the sector, including aquaculture. • Protect and enhance the environment. • Develop fishing communities and improve the quality of life of the
people living there.
Why have a European Fisheries Fund?
5
Five Priority Axes
Ensure environmental, social and economic
sustainability of the sector
Axis 4: Sustainable development of fisheries areas
Axis 1
Adjustment of Community fishing fleet
Axis 2
Aquaculture, inland fishing, processing
and marketing
Axis 3
Measures of common interest
Axis 5: Technical assistance
6
Aid for:• Permanent cessation of vessels.• Temporary cessation of activities.• Investments on board and selectivity.• Small-scale coastal fisheries measures.• Socio economic measures.
Not eligible:• Aid for the construction of new vessels. • Aid for the increase of fish holds.
Axis 1 Mesures for the Adaptation of the
Fleet

Support for:• Aquaculture
– Productive investments.– Aqua-environmental measures.– Public health measures.– Animal health measures.
• Processing and marketing- Productive investments
• Inland fishing
Axis 2 Aquaculture, Inland Fishing, Processing and Marketing

Aquaculture: Productive investments in aquaculture (art. 29)
• Diversification towards new species• Implementation of environmentally friendly
aquaculture methods • Production of species with good market prospects• Maintenance of traditional aquaculture• Protection of farms from wild predators• Lifelong learning
Axis 2 - DETAILS

Aquaculture: Aqua-environmental measures (art. 30) for compensations for:
Environmentally-friendly farming Participation in EMAS scheme Conversion towards organic farming Sustainable aquaculture compatible with the
environmental constraints resulting from the designation of Natura 2000 areas
Axis 2 - DETAILS
10
Aquaculture : Public health measures (art. 31):
Compensation to mollusc farmers for temporary suspension of harvesting due to contaminations
Aquaculture : Animal health measures (art. 32):
Aid for the eradication of diseases in aquaculture under the terms of Decision 90/424/EEC

Axis 3Measures of Common Interest
Principles: • Measures that serve the purpose of a larger group
of beneficiaries.• Cannot be normally supported by the private
sector.• Help to meet the objectives of the CFP.
Promotes:• Organisations acting on behalf of producers or
recognised organisations.
12
Eligible measures:• Collective actions. • Protection and development of aquatic fauna and flora.• Investment in fishing ports, landing sites and shelters.• Development of new markets and promotion campaigns • Pilot projects.• Modification for reassignment of fishing vessels.
Axis 3 Measures of Common Interest
13
Objectives:• Tackle socio-economic problems.
• Maintain economic prosperity and jobs.• Promote the quality of the coastal environment.
Preferred fisheries areas: • Low population density.• Small fishing Communities.• Fisheries in decline.
Axis 4 Sustainable development of fisheries
areas
14
Axis 4 Sustainable Development
of Fisheries Areas
Implementation follows bottom–up approach:• Setting up of fisheries local area groups (FLAGS).• Which develop and implement a local development strategy.
Support for:• Strengthening the competitiveness of the areas.• Diversification of activities and jobs.• Adding value to fisheries products. • Small fisheries and tourism infrastructure and services.• Protecting the environment and heritage.• Providing Inter-regional and trans-national cooperation among groups.• Training.
15
Delivery mechanisms
• National Strategic Plan • National Operational Programme• Shared management• Co-financing• Partnership principle

General implementing problems for aquaculture
− Impact of financial crisis− Access to credits/capital− Generation of over supply− Complexity in application− High requirements, e.g impact
assessments
20
Implementing problems for aquaculture
Solutions:– Financial engineering tools– Better pre-project market analysis and strategic approach
to project selection – Simplification of application and selection procedure– Technical assistance to project holders– Improvement of measure design (clearer eligibility and
selection criteria)– Better cooperation with sector to identify funding needs
21
The way ahead
− Public consultation on Green Book CFP reform in 2009− 2009 Aquaculture Strategy− IMP - Spatial planning − Preparation of reform package for 2012 for mid-2011, to
take account of Impact assessment Budget review post 2013 EU 2020 strategy
