Commission launches consultations on fisheries and maritime activities funding programmes
The first consultation aims to gather evidence and different perspectives on the management and use of the funds from various actors involved or interested, such as individuals, the fisheries and the maritime sectors, non-governmental and other organisations, and national administrations from Member States.
You can now provide input until 11 July 2024:
- Call for evidence for the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF), which supported the fisheries and maritime sectors in the period 2014-2020.
- Call for evidence for the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF), which is currently active (2021-2027).
The second consultation will include a questionnaire. It will be published in the coming weeks and will seek feedback from the main actors involved or interested in the management and use of the funding provided through EMFF and EMFAF from 2014 until 2024.
Next steps
The results of the consultations, together with other analyses and studies, will be used to assess the performance of the funds and their contribution to the European Union’s strategy for smart, sustainable, and inclusive growth.
The Commission will publish a summary report of the consultations, including the evidence gathered, by the end of 2024. [...]
