Impact
Synergies with the EP report on the state of play in the implementation of the Common Fisheries Policy and future perspectives, adopted in November 2023, supporting:
strengthening of the regionalisation in the CFP, allowing regions and local authorities to be more involved in the drafting, development and evaluation of the national operational programmes for fisheries and in fisheries management more generally, while also making full use of the existing possibilities in the CFP;
appointment a Commissioner dedicated exclusively to fisheries, aquaculture and maritime affairs.
Furthemore, the EP report highlights regional specificities, while applying a harmonised approach to fisheries management across the EUand encourages Member States to increase their cooperation within regional groups, together with the relevant stakeholders. Finally, it underscores the vital socio-economic role of small-scale fisheries in many coastal communities and its strategic role in the availability of food supply.

Essential points
THE EUROPEAN COMMITTEE OF THE REGIONS
calls for a balance to be maintained between the three sustainability pillars of the CFP (environmental, economic and social) to safeguard the long-term viability of the sector;
calls for the CFP's general and specific objectives to be laid down in a fully implementable, clearer and more practical way, reflecting the characteristics of each EU region, and believes that creating a Fisheries and Oceans Pact, and recognising fishers and aquaculture farmers as guardians or administrators of the sea, can contribute to this; the strategic role of fishers and aquaculture farmers in the food value chain and in ensuring food security by providing high quality healthy food to consumers must not be overlooked;
underlines the socio-economic implications of the measures proposed by the Commission and calls for a gradual and sustainable transition for all EU regions, in the search for the best fishing practices with adequate financial support in line with the EMFAF, or if this is not possible, to ensure fair and dignified compensation mechanisms.
- calls for more EU and Member States support for the renewal of the fisheries sector, its decarbonisation and improved safety standards, through increased funding opportunities and awareness-raising in the sector, in line with existing EMFAF and state aid rules;
- stresses the importance of framework of fair competition, removing the inconsistencies between the CFP and the common commercial policy, preventing seafood products that do not comply with EU standards from entering the European single market;
- calls for the next Commission to have a separate maritime and fisheries portfolio not linked to the environment, as it is currently the case.
