the WTO Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies

{SWD(2026) 282 final}

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1. CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL

• Reasons for and objectives of the proposal

The European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF), established under

Regulation (EU) 2021/11391 (‘the EMFAF Regulation’), allocates resources from the EU

budget to support the common fisheries policy (CFP), the Union’s maritime policy and its

international commitments on ocean governance. The combination of the CFP’s regulatory

framework – which covers the conservation of marine biological resources, an area of

exclusive EU competence – and the structural support provided by the EMFAF has proven

effective in maintaining or restoring healthy fish stocks and promoting sustainable

aquaculture. As key contributors to EU food production, the fisheries and aquaculture sectors

require reliable financing to cope with negative externalities, environmental volatility, and the

need for innovation, strategic planning and adaptation. The EMFAF therefore underpins

sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, the conservation of marine biological resources, food

security, the blue economy and the management of healthy, safe and secure seas and oceans.

Member States draw up national EMFAF programmes tailored to their needs and based on the

priorities and objectives set out in the EMFAF Regulation.

Despite its strategic importance, the current regulatory framework presents implementation

challenges. The mid-term EMFAF evaluation2 and regular feedback from Member States,

stakeholders and Advisory Councils (ACs), indicate that funding opportunities are perceived

as limited and insufficiently flexible. Legal uncertainty and complexity have been identified

as major barriers to supporting the energy transition, small-scale fishing and generational

renewal. Moreover, while the EMFAF is the main source of financing for the implementation

of the CFP, some of its provisions go beyond the requirements of the CFP Regulation and are

impacted by significant shifts in external factors since the adoption of the EMFAF

Regulation, such as the increasing urgency to support the sector’s energy transition. The

evaluation therefore recommends targeted measures to accelerate implementation timelines

and reduce administrative delays.

This proposal seeks to amend the EMFAF Regulation to make it more accessible and easier

for Member States and beneficiaries to implement. The amendment also incorporates the

necessary changes to ensure the full implementation in EU law of the World Trade

Organization (WTO) Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies (AFS), which was adopted at the

WTO’s 12th Ministerial Conference on 17 June 2022, was ratified by the EU on 7 June 2023

and entered into force on 15 September 2025. The agreement prohibits harmful fisheries

subsidies and targets specific fishing activities and areas, including illegal, unreported and

unregulated (IUU) fishing, fishing of overfished stocks and fishing on the unregulated high

seas, setting out corresponding new obligations.

• Consistency with existing policy provisions in the policy area

The proposal is limited to targeted amendments to Regulation (EU) 2021/1139 and is

consistent with Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 on the Common Fisheries Policy and with

Regulation (EU) 2021/1060 on common provisions for Union funds implemented under

shared management.

• Consistency with other Union policies

The proposal and its objectives are consistent with other Union policies, especially

environmental, climate, cohesion, agriculture, social, market and trade policies.

The proposal is also consistent with the initiatives set out in the European Ocean Pact, which

applies an integrated approach to funding and ocean-relevant policies that cover a broad range

of areas, including the conservation of marine biological resources, which is one of the EU’s

five exclusive competences; the restoration of marine biodiversity; the management of, and

innovation in, fisheries and sustainable aquaculture; the implementation of the CFP; ocean

knowledge; maritime security; food security; and the development and scaling-up of a

competitive and sustainable blue economy. The proposal also contributes to achieving the

United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goal 14 (‘conserve and sustainably use the

oceans, seas and marine resources’), to which the EU is committed.

2. LEGAL BASIS, SUBSIDIARITY AND PROPORTIONALITY

• Legal basis

Article 42, Article 43(2), Article 91(1), Article 100(2), Article 173(3), Article 175,

Functioning of the European Union.

• Subsidiarity (for non-exclusive competence)

The proposed provisions will be implemented under shared management in accordance

with the Financial Regulation3.

• Proportionality

The proposed provisions comply with the proportionality principle as they are appropriate and

necessary and no less restrictive measures are available to achieve the intended

policy objectives.

• Choice of the instrument

The proposed instrument is a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council.

3. RESULTS OF EX-POST EVALUATIONS, STAKEHOLDER

CONSULTATIONS AND IMPACT ASSESSMENTS

• Ex-post evaluations/fitness checks of existing legislation

The preliminary results of the ex-post evaluation of the EMFF Regulation (2014-2020) and

the mid-term evaluation of the EMFAF Regulation (2021-2027) show that previous EU funds

targeting similar areas have had a positive impact on the fisheries and aquaculture sectors,

have contributed to the implementation of the CFP, including the conservation of marine

3 Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2024/2509 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 September

2024 on the financial rules applicable to the general budget of the Union (OJ L, 2024/2509, 26.9.2024,

ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/2509/oj).

EN 3 EN

biological resources, especially by improving fisheries control and enforcement and

supporting data collection. They have also made positive contributions to maritime policy,

international ocean governance, the development of coastal communities and the sustainable

blue economy.

The EMFAF mid-term evaluation illustrates that Member States consider that limited

capacity, institutional structures and strict eligibility conditions for fleet-related measures are

the main causes of slow implementation, indicating a need for further improvements to the

delivery system. Overall, the evaluation confirms that the EMFAF remains a strategic tool for

addressing EU policy priorities and national needs, offering Member States the flexibility to

programme funding in response to an evolving policy context and changing priorities.

• Stakeholder consultations

In addition to the evidence gathered through the EMFAF mid-term evaluation, supporting

studies and exchanges with Member States, the sector, NGOs and wider civil society, the

Commission has collected a broad range of contributions from Member States and

stakeholders to inform the targeted amendment of the EMFAF Regulation. The amendment

also draws on discussions within expert groups, input from national experts and the work of

the Commission’s dedicated EMFAF monitoring and evaluation support unit, the Fisheries

and Aquaculture Monitoring, Evaluation and Local Support Network (FAMENET).

Several resolutions adopted by the European Parliament have called on the Commission to

review the EMFAF Regulation. In its resolution on the state of play of the CFP’s

implementation, adopted in January 2024, Parliament acknowledged limitations in the

EMFAF and called on the Commission and the Member States to facilitate access to EMFAF

support for industry professionals. In a further resolution adopted in March 2026, Parliament

called for unnecessary regulatory barriers under the EMFAF to be removed. Likewise, in its

resolution on the decarbonisation and modernisation of the EU fishing fleet adopted in

December 2025, Parliament stressed that the current rules can ‘severely restrict’ access to

financing for vessel renewal and energy efficiency. Parliament therefore reiterated its calls for

targeted amendments to both the CFP framework and the EMFAF, as it believes that the

existing frameworks hinder necessary improvements in safety and energy efficiency and

undermine the competitiveness and profitability of EU fishers compared with non-EU fleets.

More specifically, the European Parliament called for Articles 17 to 19 of the EMFAF

Regulation to be revised to simplify the eligibility criteria, arguing that the current conditions

are too restrictive, limit the practical application of those provisions and result in low uptake.

These concerns are echoed in research carried out for the PECH Committee on the energy

transition of the fishing fleet, which, following consultations with an EMFAF managing

authority and sector representatives, found that stakeholders see fleet modernisation as a

priority for reducing operating costs and improving working conditions, with decarbonisation

being pursued as a complementary objective.

In addition to regular administrative exchanges, ministers from several Member States have

sent a joint letter inviting the Commission to assess whether the EMFAF Regulation could be

reviewed to better support the energy transition and generational renewal, including through a

simplification package. Some Member States, such as Estonia, Finland and Spain, have raised

the matter in writing and requested dedicated meetings. The issue was also discussed in the

Council, including at the AGRIFISH Council meetings in March 2025, November 2025 and

March 2026.

Several stakeholders, including ACs and sectoral associations, have submitted proposals for

targeted amendments. The issues raised by the ACs concern implementation constraints,

EN 4 EN

particularly the lack of operational calls for potential applicants by the Member States,

unclear timelines and complex administrative procedures. Sectoral associations have called

for structural measures to strengthen the sector’s long-term resilience, together with targeted

adjustments and increased support for a just energy transition. These organisations include

Europêche, SEA Europe, LIFE, the French National Association of Producer Organisations

(ANOP), the French National Committee for Maritime Fisheries and Marine Aquaculture

(CNPMEM), and two of its regional representations (CDPMEM du Finistère and CRPMEM

Bretagne).

The Commission also sought feedback in view of a possible targeted amendment of the

EMFAF through a call for evidence4 open from 23 June to 21 July 2026. A total of 69 replies

were received from stakeholders in 18 Member States. Business associations were the largest

respondent group (20 replies), followed by NGOs (17 replies). Spain accounted for 29 replies.

Business associations represented the largest respondent group, accounting for 21 of the 69

submissions received. They broadly called for administrative simplification, the extension of

funding eligibility beyond SMEs to larger enterprises, changes to fleet-capacity rules, and

more flexible conditions for generational renewal. They also stressed the need to preserve the

EMFAF’s ring-fenced budget, rather than integrating it into a broader post-2027 fund.

Non-governmental organisations generally supported full transposition of the WTO

Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies, including strong provisions to prevent support linked to

IUU fishing. At the same time, they highlighted that simplification must not weaken

eligibility rules, monitoring requirements or stakeholder participation. Many also advocated

redirecting funding toward small-scale, low-impact fishing, ecosystem restoration, animal

welfare safeguards and greater transparency in the allocation of subsidies.

Public authorities broadly supported simplification and greater flexibility in implementation.

Many argued that the fishing-capacity concept should be revised, considering GT/kW ceilings

to be outdated. Regional authorities and authorities from outermost regions called for greater

recognition of insular and regional specificities, more flexible rules on generational and fleet

renewal, and, in some cases, a dedicated crisis mechanism to address shocks such as fuel-

price increases.

Companies argued that limiting eligibility to SMEs unfairly excludes larger processors and

marketing operators. They also supported funding for digital infrastructure for landing

declarations and reporting and raised concerns about the legal implications of a blanket

exclusion of subsidies linked to bottom trawling.

Other respondents similarly supported full transposition of the WTO AFS and stronger

environmental targeting of funding. Finally, they called for simpler application procedures,

faster payments, and the removal of SME-only eligibility restrictions.

Proposal for a

REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

amending Regulation (EU) 2021/1139 as regards simplification and the transposition of

the WTO Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular

Articles 42, Article 43(2), Article 91(1), Article 100(2), Article 173(3), Article 175,

Article 188, Article 192(1), Article 194(2), Article 195(2) and Article 349 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,

Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure,

Whereas:

(1) The needs of the European Union’s fisheries sector and the challenges it is currently

facing call for a better-tailored and straightforward support measures under the

European Maritime Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (the ‘EMFAF’). The adjustments

proposed in this Regulation aim to improve and facilitate implementation of the

EMFAF by addressing some of the issues that have been identified in the mid-term

evaluation of the EMFAF as well as in the stakeholder consultation, without departing

from the fundamental principles of the policy and while ensuring compliance with the

Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) Regulation. The aim of the amendments is to

increase flexibility for Member States and reduce the burden on beneficiaries, thereby

enabling them to make better use of the opportunities offered by the EMFAF for the

remainder of the programming period.

(2) The budgetary restrictions on allocations for fleet measures and permanent cessation

should be revised to give Member States greater flexibility and agility in programming

additional financial allocations under these measures.

(3) To enhance safety at sea without increasing fishing capacity, navigation technologies

such as GPS or radars should be made eligible for support.

(4) Generational renewal in fisheries is essential for Europe’s food security, sustainability

and coastal vitality. Therefore, the transfer of ownership to young fishers and small-

scale coastal fisheries should be facilitated. To ensure the viability of small-scale

fishers and address their economic vulnerability, it is necessary to provide appropriate

financial incentives to diversify activities.

(5) In line with recital (4), it should therefore also be possible for Member States to grant

young fishers a higher aid intensity rate to support generational renewal and facilitate

their entry into the sector.

(6) Greater flexibility and simplification are required in the energy transition process to

ensure that the future of fisheries is ecologically, economically and socially

sustainable, while safeguarding the viability of current business models. Replacing or

EN 7 EN

modernising engines, for example using technology based on hydrogen, ammonia,

internal combustion, fuel cells, electricity, a combination of electricity and combustion

(hybrid), fuel cell hybrid, or any other equivalent energy-efficient or alternative fuel

technology, is one way to accelerate the energy transition of the fisheries sector and

boost the Union’s competitiveness. To support the energy transition process and

increase the attractiveness of the sector, small-scale coastal fishing vessels should be

given greater flexibility in modernising or replacing their engines. Therefore, the

requirements in Article 18(2), point (c), of Regulation (EU) 2021/1139 should be

amended to shift the focus from the engine’s kW capacity to its contribution to energy

efficiency, measured by the proposed reduction in CO2 emissions. The requirements

for engine replacement in Article 18(2), point (d), of Regulation (EU) 2021/1139

should be adapted to remove rigid thresholds that currently impede uptake, thereby

enabling broader decarbonisation across the fleet.

(7) To further reduce the administrative burden on the fishing sector, the registration

period for fishing vessels should be reduced from 10 to five calendar years. In

addition, increases in the gross tonnage capacity of vessels should be permitted for

small-scale coastal fisheries to accommodate the increase in volume required to

replace an engine or improve energy efficiency.

(8) Eel fisheries are highly seasonal as they are influenced by geographical factors and the

eel’s complex life cycle. For simplification purposes, the specific characteristics of eel

fisheries should be reflected in the calculation of fishing activities at sea, and a

derogation from the requirement of 90 days at sea should be introduced in

Article 20(2), point (c), of Regulation (EU) 2021/1139, as is already the case for

Article 21 of that Regulation.

(9) Financial support for temporary cessation should be allowed in order to alleviate the

socio-economic impact on fishers of significant and unexpected reductions in fishing

opportunities.

(10) Additional financial support is required to foster innovation, energy transition and

energy efficiency initiatives that contribute to the Union’s environmental and climate

objectives, particularly in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors. Further targeted

support should therefore be allowed for pilot and research projects in those sectors that

constitute experimental initiatives designed to test the feasibility of a measure under

the applicable legal framework. Similarly, financial support should be allowed for

investments in ports and infrastructure that contribute to the energy transition in the

fisheries sector.

(11) Member States should be permitted to further support the design, development and

collective implementation of national strategies for marine protected areas and

fisheries-restricted areas and for the management of those areas.

(12) It is also necessary to amend Regulation (EU) 2021/1139 in order to transpose the

Protocol amending the Marrakesh Agreement establishing the World Trade

Organization, which contains the Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies5.

5 The Notice concerning the entry into force of the Protocol amending the Marrakesh Agreement establishing the World Trade Organization Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies was published in the

Official Journal of the European Union by the General Secretariat of the Council (OJ L, 2025/1962,

25.9.2025, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/notice/2025/1962/oj)

EN 8 EN

(13) The European Union is a member of the World Trade Organization (‘WTO’), which

launched the Doha Round of trade negotiations, known as ‘the Doha Development

Agenda’, in November 2001. The objective of the WTO negotiations on fisheries

subsidies was to deliver on Target 14.6 of the United Nations Sustainable

Development Goals, which focuses on prohibiting certain forms of fisheries

subsidies that lead to overcapacity and overfishing, eliminating subsidies that support

illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, and refraining from introducing new

harmful subsidies.

(14) On 17 June 2022, the 12th Ministerial Conference adopted the Protocol amending the

Marrakesh Agreement establishing the World Trade Organization (‘the Protocol’),

which contains the Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies (‘the Agreement’). The Protocol

entered into force on 15 September 2025, when the required two thirds of WTO

members had deposited their instruments of acceptance of the Agreement.

(15) The Agreement identifies a number of fisheries subsidies as harmful and establishes an

obligation for WTO members to prohibit subsidies for vessels or operators engaged in

IUU fishing or fishing-related activities in support of IUU fishing and for fishing and

fishing-related activities on the high seas outside the regulatory competence of a

relevant regional fisheries management organisation or arrangement (‘RFMO/A’).

(16) Council Decision (EU) 2023/11166 approved the Protocol. The European Union

deposited its instrument of acceptance on 7 June 2023. The Protocol should be

implemented in Union law.

(17) In order to implement the provisions of the Agreement and ensure full compliance

with its obligations, in particular as regards EU funding, it is necessary to amend

Regulation (EU) 2021/1139 to provide that for operators and vessels involved in IUU

fishing or fishing-related activities in support of IUU fishing, as determined in

accordance with Article 3.2 of the Agreement, and fishing and fishing-related

activities on the high seas outside the regulatory competence of a relevant RFMO/A

are ineligible for support under the EMFAF.

(18) According to Article 5.1 of the Agreement, no WTO member is to grant or maintain

subsidies for fishing or fishing-related activities conducted outside of the jurisdiction

of a coastal member or a coastal non-member and outside the competence of a relevant

RFMO/A. To implement that rule in Union law, it is necessary to provide that such

operations and expenditure are also ineligible for funding under the EMFAF. For this

purpose, a new Article 13a should be introduced to supplement the list of ineligible

operations and expenditure under Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2021/1139.

(19) To ensure consistency with the obligations under the Agreement, the provisions

implementing the Agreement should apply from the date of entry into force of this

amending Regulation until the date of termination of the Agreement, as published in

the Official Journal of the European Union. During that period, applications for

support that do not comply with the Agreement should be inadmissible, and operations

and expenditure should be ineligible.

Admissibility of applications in the case of an affirmative determination

1. Without prejudice to Article 11, an application for support submitted by an operator shall

be or become inadmissible if a coastal state or an RFMO/A notifies the flag Member State of

an affirmative determination concerning an operator or a vessel the operator operates.

2. Where an affirmative determination is notified by a coastal state, an application for support

submitted by an operator shall be inadmissible if the affirmative determination is based on

relevant factual information and the coastal state has provided the following to the flag

Member State and, if known, the subsidising Member State:

(a) a timely notification communicated through appropriate channels. The

notification shall also include references to the applicable laws, regulations or

administrative procedures, or other relevant information and details of any

measures taken, including the following:

(i) the temporary detention of the vessel or operator, pending further

investigation, for engaging in IUU fishing, or

(ii) the initiation by the coastal state of an investigation for IUU fishing;

(b) an opportunity to exchange relevant information before the affirmative

determination is finalised, so that such information may be taken into account

in the final affirmative determination, in a manner and within a period to be

specified by the coastal state.

The coastal state shall notify the flag Member State of the final affirmative determination and

any sanctions imposed, including, if applicable, their duration.

EN 11 EN

3. Where an affirmative determination has been notified in relation to a specific vessel, the

inadmissibility of an application submitted by the operator of that vessel shall apply only to

support that is directly linked to that specific vessel or its activities.

4. Where an affirmative determination is notified during the period between the granting of

support and the final payment, any support already paid from the EMFAF in respect of the

vessel and activities referred to in that affirmative determination shall be recovered from the

operator in accordance with Article 44 of this Regulation and Article 103 of Regulation (EU)

2021/1060 of the European Parliament and of the Council.

5. Applications shall be inadmissible, pursuant to paragraphs 2 to 4, for a period

corresponding to the longer of the following:

(a) the duration of the sanction provided for in the national rules of the coastal

state that made the affirmative determination; or

(b) the period during which the vessel or operator is listed by an RFMO/A.

6. Member States may apply, in accordance with their national rules, a longer inadmissibility

period than that determined under paragraph 5, taking into account the nature, gravity and

repetition of the IUU fishing or fishing-related activity in support of IUU fishing committed

by the vessel or operator.

7. Where an affirmative determination notified to the flag Member State does not specify the

duration of the sanction, the flag Member State shall determine the period of inadmissibility,

taking into account the nature, gravity and repetition of IUU fishing and fishing-related

activities in support of IUU fishing.

8. Where the same IUU fishing or fishing-related activities in support of IUU fishing result in

an inadmissibility under both Article 11(1) and Article 11a, the total period of inadmissibility

shall not exceed the longest period of inadmissibility resulting from either Article 11 or

paragraphs 5, 6 and 7 of this Article.

9. Where a flag Member State receives an affirmative determination concerning one of its

vessels or operators, it shall inform the Commission by electronic means within 10 working

days of receipt of the affirmative determination, indicating the operator and vessel concerned

and, where applicable, the duration of the sanction. The Commission shall make that

information available to all other Member States by publishing it in a restricted-access section

of its website.

1. FRAMEWORK OF THE PROPOSAL/INITIATIVE

1.1. Title of the proposal/initiative

Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending

Regulation (EU) 2021/1139 as regard simplification and the transposition of the

WTO Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies.

1.2. Policy area(s) concerned

The proposal concerns Programme cluster 8 (‘Agriculture & Maritime Policy’) under

Heading 3 (‘Natural Resources and Environment’) of the Multiannual Financial

Framework (MFF) 2021-2027. It is limited to targeted amendments to Regulation

(EU) 2021/1139 and is consistent with Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 on the

Common Fisheries Policy and with Regulation (EU) 2021/1060 on common

provisions for Union funds implemented under shared management.

Moreover, it has linkages to other Union policies, especially environmental, climate,

cohesion, agriculture, social, market and trade policies. It is consistent with the

initiatives set out in the European Ocean Pact and contributes to achieving the United

Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goal 14 (‘conserve and sustainably use the

oceans, seas and marine resources’), to which the EU is committed.

1.3. Objective(s)

1.3.1. General objective(s)

This proposal seeks to amend the EMFAF Regulation to make it more accessible and

easier for Member States and beneficiaries to implement. The proposal also

incorporates the necessary changes to ensure the full implementation in EU law of

the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies (AFS).

1.3.2. Specific objective(s)

The proposal introduces new definitions to provide greater legal certainty, makes

certain conditions on engine replacement or modernisation more flexible, introduces

two new schemes for temporary cessation and small-scale fisheries, increases the aid

intensity to support generational renewal, and eases certain restrictions on budget

allocations. The proposal also transposes the AFS into this legal basis.

1.3.3. Expected result(s) and impact

Specify the effects which the proposal/initiative should have on the beneficiaries/groups targeted.

The proposal is expected to:

provide greater legal certainty and facilitate the testing of new technologies by

introducing new definitions for “energy transition”, “pilot projects” and

“demonstrators”, which should not be treated as ordinary fishing vessels.

accelerate the energy transition of the EU fishing fleet by making engine replacement

and modernisation rules more flexible, with a simplified approval process and

methodology for emissions reduction calculation.

have a positive impact on generational renewal by increasing aid intensity for young

fishers and the removal of barriers to support the transfer of ownership of business

will have a positive impact on generational renewal.

EN 4 EN

introduce a new scheme for temporary cessation in order to alleviate the socio-

economic impact on fishers of significant and unexpected reductions in fishing

opportunities.

grant Member States more budgetary flexibility by raising the ceiling for fleet

measures and permanent cessation from 15 % to 30 % of each Member State’s

allocation.

ensure full compliance with the AFS by making any operator or vessel engaged in

IUU fishing or high seas activities outside the competence of Regional Fisheries

Management Organisations (RFMOs) ineligible for EMFAF support.

1.3.4. Indicators of performance

Specify the indicators for monitoring progress and achievements.

The implementation, monitoring, evaluation and reporting requirements established

in Regulations (EU) 2021/1139 and 2021/1060 apply.

1.4. The proposal/initiative relates to:

a new action

a new action following a pilot project / preparatory action12

☒the extension of an existing action

a merger or redirection of one or more actions towards another/a new action

4. DIGITAL DIMENSIONS

4.1. Requirements of digital relevance

The proposal does not include requirements of digital relevance, as it does not entail

changes in reporting obligations nor new requirements concerning data flows. Although

digital technologies are being used for EMFAF implementation by the Member States, the

18 As regards traditional own resources (customs duties, sugar levies), the amounts indicated must be net

amounts, i.e. gross amounts after deduction of 20% for collection costs.

EN 24 EN

proposed amendments are not linked to those digital technologies.

The only relevant digital change is a minor adaptation of the European Commission’s

internal administrative and management side of the SFC system: the System for Fund

Management in the European Union.

SFC2021 is the electronic data exchange system for all official exchanges of information

between the Member State and the Commission concerning the CPR Funds management as

set in Article 69(9) of the Regulation (EU) 2021/1060 of the European Parliament and of

the Council of 24 June 2021 laying down common provisions on the European Regional

Development Fund, the European Social Fund Plus, the Cohesion Fund, the Just Transition

Fund and the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund and financial rules for

those and for the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund, the Internal Security Fund and

the Instrument for Financial Support for Border Management and Visa Policy. This

electronic system used for exchanging official information between Managing Authorities

and the European Commission, needs a slight adaptation of internal parameters as

operations could reach higher financial ceilings. Indeed, financing plans of MAs will be

adapted through programme amendments without changing the total financial allocations.

However, the submission, workflow and validation processes remain unchanged.

Managing Authorities in Member States, as end-users of SFC2021, will be informed of the

change but are not expected to need to adapt their own systems or procedures, since the

change is confined to backend parameter thresholds.

The technical adaptation will be scheduled to take effect ahead of, or in parallel with, the

entry into force of the amended EMFAF Regulation, so that Managing Authorities can

submit and manage operations at the higher ceilings without interruption.

4.2. Data

Not applicable. The proposal does not establish new data collection, sharing or processing

obligations as a distinct policy requirement. The digital-related element is a minor internal

adaptation linked to SFC2021, which does not introduce new data obligations for

stakeholders or Member States. Therefore, there is no substantive digital or data-

requirements impact to assess under the guidance.

4.3. Digital solutions

4.4. Interoperability assessment

4.5. Measures to support digital implementation

Not applicable, as the proposal does not prescribe the use of specific digital solutions or

impose digital-by-default tools. The only identified system-related consequence is a limited

back-office adaptation of the SFC system.

Not applicable. The proposal does not create or modify cross-border digital public services,

nor does it introduce interoperability obligations between national or EU digital systems.

Not applicable. The proposal does not include dedicated measures to organise or support

digital implementation as such.

1. INTRODUCTION

The Commission’s political guidelines for 2024-20291 set out a sustainable prosperity agenda

aimed at boosting competitiveness, driving innovation and supporting growth in the EU. Mario

Draghi’s report ‘The future of European Competitiveness’2 points to costly regulatory burdens,

which weigh particularly heavily on SMEs through excessive reporting obligations, investment

gaps and unfavourable conditions for mobilising private investment. To address these

challenges, the report advocates coordinated action, whether through smaller, incremental

measures, bold EU-level initiatives, or greater subsidiarity.

Turning the report’s recommendations into a strategic roadmap, the Commission’s

Competitiveness Compass3 outlines five horizontal enablers cutting across all policies and

sectors. Moreover, the ‘Simpler and faster Europe’ communication4 proposes a new way of

working between EU institutions, Member States and stakeholders, based on partnership and

cooperation, to simplify EU rules, reduce regulatory burdens and improve the design and

implementation of legislation. This includes systematic efforts to simplify decision-making

procedures to make access to EU funds simpler, faster, and easier. The Compass also

emphasises the close link with digitalisation as a means of improving data management and

minimising compliance and administrative costs.

The European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF), established under

Regulation (EU) 2021/11395 (hereinafter referred to as the EMFAF Regulation), allocates

resources from the EU budget to support the common fisheries policy (CFP), the Union’s

maritime policy and its international commitments on ocean governance. The combination of

the regulatory framework of the CFP and the structural support under the EMFAF has proven

effective in maintaining or restoring healthy fish stocks and promoting sustainable aquaculture.

Since the conservation of marine biological resources under the CFP falls within the EU’s

exclusive competence, the Union is responsible for establishing the relevant policy framework

and for supporting its implementation through appropriate funding.

As key contributors to EU food production, the fisheries and aquaculture sectors require

reliable financing to cope with negative externalities, environmental volatility, and the need for

innovation, strategic planning and adaptation. The EMFAF therefore underpins sustainable

fisheries and aquaculture, the conservation of marine biological resources, food security, the

blue economy and the management of healthy, safe and secure seas and oceans. Member States

draw up national EMFAF programmes tailored to their needs and based on the priorities and

objectives set out in the EMFAF Regulation.

Despite its strategic importance, the current regulatory framework presents implementation

challenges. The mid-term EMFAF evaluation6 and regular feedback from Member States,

stakeholders and advisory councils (ACs) indicate that funding opportunities are perceived as

limited and insufficiently flexible. Legal uncertainty and excessive complexity are identified

8ecacef1ea18_en?filename=250201_Simplification_Communication_en.pdf. 5 Regulation (EU) 2021/1139 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 July 2021 establishing the

European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund and amending Regulation (EU) 2017/1004 6 https://ec.europa.eu/transparency/documents-register/detail?ref=SWD(2026)87&lang=en.

as major barriers to more effective support for the energy transition, small-scale fisheries and

generational renewal in the sector. In essence, national authorities and sectoral representatives

consider that certain EMFAF rules hinder investment.

Furthermore, the launch of the shared management component of the EMFAF was delayed due

to the late adoption of the EMFAF Regulation, the wider crisis context, including COVID-19,

Brexit and Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine, and the challenges Member States

faced in simultaneously closing the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) and

launching the EMFAF. Most managing authorities reported that managing both processes in

parallel was difficult without additional support. Moreover, structural changes within

organisations contributed to capacity constraints. The economic deterioration resulting from

Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine also affected beneficiaries’ capacity to complete

projects. In addition, challenges related to Brexit, reduced economic activity and requirements

stemming from new and existing environmental regulations further hindered the effective roll-

out of the EMFAF.

While the EMFAF is the only financial instrument supporting the implementation of the CFP,

certain legal provisions go beyond the requirements laid down in the CFP Regulation. The mid-

term EMFAF evaluation confirms that the Fund remains a strategic instrument for addressing

EU policy priorities and national needs in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors. At the same

time, it identifies persisting gaps, particularly in areas such as employment attractiveness,

labour conditions and generational renewal, which remain insufficiently developed at both

national and EU level. The evaluation therefore recommends targeted measures to speed up

implementation and overcome administrative delays, with the aim of improving the Fund’s

responsiveness to EU and national needs.

As part of the wider EU simplification package, which aims to reduce administrative burdens

and streamline processes, the proposal seeks to amend the EMFAF Regulation to make it more

accessible and easier for Member States and beneficiaries to implement. The amendment also

incorporates the necessary changes to ensure the full implementation in EU law of the World

Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies (AFS), which was adopted at

the WTO’s 12th Ministerial Conference on 17 June 2022, was ratified by the EU on 7 June

2023 and entered into force on 15 September 2025. The agreement prohibits harmful fisheries

subsidies and targets specific fishing activities and areas, including illegal, unreported and

unregulated (IUU) fishing, fishing of overfished stocks and fishing on the unregulated high

seas, setting out corresponding new obligations.

This staff working document accompanies the legislative proposal to amend the EMFAF

Regulation. It includes a summary of the key stakeholder input and feedback received in

response to the call for evidence7 underpinning the initiative and describes the amendments

necessary to address the issues identified.

2. CONSULTATION AND EVIDENCE GATHERING

The Commission has developed the legislative proposal based on the available evidence on the

implementation of the EMFAF. The Commission received input from various stakeholders on

7 https://oceans-and-fisheries.ec.europa.eu/news/commission-seeks-feedback-potential-simplification-

european-maritime-fisheries-and-aquaculture-fund-2026-06-25_en.

a voluntary basis and during meetings. Moreover, it drew on the EMFAF mid-term evaluation

and the feedback received through the dedicated Call for Evidence. It also relied on information

obtained through regular or dedicated expert group exchanges, ad hoc contributions and

analytical work such as data, studies and internal analyses.

2.1 FEEDBACK GATHERED FROM VARIOUS STAKEHOLDERS ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS

The European Parliament has repeatedly called for a review of the EMFAF Regulation. In its

resolution of January 20248 on the implementation of the CFP, Parliament highlighted

constraints on access to EMFAF support for industry professionals and called on the

Commission and the Member States to improve it. In its resolution of December 20259 on fleet

decarbonisation and modernisation, Parliament warned that the current framework could

‘severely restrict’ access to finance for vessel renewal and energy efficiency. In March 2026,

it further called for the removal of unnecessary regulatory barriers. Specifically, Parliament

proposed revising Articles 17 and 19 of the EMFAF Regulation to simplify eligibility

conditions, pointing to overly restrictive requirements, limited practical applicability and low

uptake. These concerns are echoed in research by the PECH Committee, which found that

stakeholders viewed fleet modernisation as a priority for reducing operating costs and

improving working conditions, with decarbonisation seen as a complementary objective.

Overall, Parliament therefore called for targeted amendments to both the CFP framework and

the EMFAF to bring about the necessary improvements in safety and energy efficiency and

boost the competitiveness and profitability of EU fishers.

In addition to regular exchanges with national authorities, the Commission has received a joint

ministerial letter from 18 Member States calling for an assessment of whether the EMFAF

Regulation is fit to support the energy transition and generational renewal, including through a

simplification package. Several Member States have raised the issue formally, and the

AGRIFISH Council discussed it in March 2025, November 2025 and March 2026.

Stakeholders have likewise submitted proposals for targeted amendments. ACs have cited

implementation constraints, unclear timelines and complex procedures. Meanwhile, sectoral

associations, NGOs and regional representations authorities have called for structural measures

to strengthen the sector’s long-term resilience, together with targeted adjustments and

increased support for a just energy transition.

A recurring concern is the need to give greater priority to small-scale fisheries and generational

renewal, including, where appropriate, more favourable and additional support under the

EMFAF. Stakeholders also pointed to tensions between low- and zero-emission energy

technologies, such as batteries or hydrogen which often require more onboard space and can

affect stability and safety, and existing rules on engine power, gross tonnage and fleet capacity

limits. They proposed targeted changes to funding and capacity rules to enable fleets to adopt

cleaner propulsion and energy-efficiency upgrades without undermining overall capacity.

8 Texts adopted - Thursday, 18 January 2024. 9 P10_TA(2025)0344 – Decarbonisation and modernisation of EU fisheries, and the development and

deployment of fishing gear – European Parliament resolution of 18 December 2025 on the decarbonisation

and modernisation of EU fisheries, and the development and deployment of fishing gear (2024/2123(INI)).

Some stakeholders also argued for low-interest credit pre-financing, simplified administration

and targeted support for young fishers through preferential financial arrangements.

2.2 FEEDBACK GATHERED FROM THE CALL FOR EVIDENCE

The Commission collected feedback on a possible targeted amendment of the EMFAF

Regulation through a call for evidence10 open from 23 June to 21 July 2026. A total of 69

replies were submitted by stakeholders from 18 Member States, of which two received by

email. Business associations were the largest respondent group (20 replies), followed by NGOs

(17 replies), as depicted in Figure 1. Across the Spanish submissions (29 replies), there were

indications of coordinated campaign activity, which amplified the apparent weight of certain

positions in the dataset. The submission addressing regional flexibility, fleet renewal and

CLLD simplification was replicated by five Spanish respondents and one individual citizen.

As a result, what appeared to be six separate contributions reflected a single coordinated

regional position. Similar patterns were also observed elsewhere in other Spanish replies

submitting near-identical text on the SME-only restrictions, while associations in the Canary

Islands submitted complementary contributions advocating the same amendments on

outermost region, and strengthening the competitiveness, sustainability and generational

renewal of small-scale fishing.

Figure 1: Overview of stakeholder group responses distribution to the Call for Evidence.

Business associations primarily called for simplification, greater flexibility in implementation

and better alignment with current sectoral needs. On simplification, they asked for shorter and

more harmonised application forms, a ‘single documentation’ principle, wider use of simplified

cost options (including flat rates and unit costs), faster assessment and payment, and

requirements better proportionate to the capacities of micro-enterprises. Many also called for

eligibility to be extended beyond SMEs, notably to large enterprises and ‘small mid-caps’ in

the processing and marketing segments.

10 Have Your Say – Call for Evidence: European maritime, fisheries and aquaculture fund – amendment for

simplification and to transpose the WTO agreement

Respondents also advocated adjustments to better reflect sectoral realities, particularly as

regards fleet-capacity rules, generational renewal and the energy transition. Suggested changes

included lifting or easing the ban on the construction and acquisition of new vessels, excluding

safety, efficiency, or low-emission-propulsion-driven tonnage and power increases from the

definition of ‘capacity increases’, raising the age limit for young fishers from 40 to 45, lowering

vessel-registration age requirements, relaxing the conditions for first vessel acquisitions,

removing or lowering the CO2-reduction threshold for engine replacement from 20% to 10-15,

and granting more flexible support for retrofitting and alternative fuels.

Several business associations stressed the importance of preserving the EMFAF as a dedicated

fund with a ring-fenced budget also after 2027. While supporting the transposition of the AFS,

they considered that this should remain limited to legal requirements and should not entail

additional restrictions for the EU fleet. One respondent called for stronger support to the

processing sector, arguing that it is underfunded in relation to its economic contribution and

that the sector should be included in crisis mechanism measures. Respondents from the

outermost regions asked for broader access to processing support, mainly to include large

enterprises, more flexible compensation of additional costs, exclusion of support for anchored

Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs) from de minimis rules, and the creation of a dedicated

‘POSEI Fisheries’ instrument.

NGOs supported full transposition of the AFS, including strong provisions on IUU fishing and

fishing of overfished stocks. At the same time, they stressed that simplification should not lead

to deregulation and warned against weakening eligibility conditions, monitoring, verification

or stakeholder participation. Many called for support to be redirected away from measures

considered to increase fishing capacity or constitute harmful subsidies and towards small-scale,

low-impact fisheries, biodiversity protection and ecosystem restoration. A group of NGOs also

advocated for animal welfare safeguards in aquaculture funding, including a precautionary

exclusion of funding of farming systems where welfare needs cannot be ensured. Transparency

and accountability were also highlighted, notably through calls for harmonised public

disclosure of beneficiaries, beneficial ownership and enforcement data.

Some associations emphasised the social and territorial dimension of fisheries policy, referring

to employment quality, generational renewal and the wellbeing of coastal communities.

Support was expressed for maintaining or strengthening the autonomy of Fisheries Local

Action Groups (FLAG) and funding for Community-Led Local Development (CLLD). Some

NGOs also favoured more flexible rules on generational renewal, for example by raising or

removing the 40-year age limit and abolishing the first vessel conditions. One respondent

representing small-scale fishing federations in the outermost regions considered EMFAF

procedures excessively burdensome and argued that fisheries in those regions should not be

treated in the same way as mainland fleets.

Public authorities supported simplification and called for greater flexibility for managing

authorities at national and regional level to adapt implementation to local needs. They

advocated for a review of the fishing capacity concept, considering GT/kW ceilings outdated

in light of existing management tools such as TACs, quotas and effort limits. They argued that

safety, efficiency, and habitability-driven tonnage or power increases should be excluded from

capacity restrictions. Some authorities also supported easing rules on generational and fleet

renewal. Proposals included reintroducing aid for vessel construction and raising or removing

age caps and first-acquisition restrictions for young fishers. While supporting the transposition

of the AFS, they stressed that this should be limited to legal requirements and should not create

additional eligibility conditions or duplicate existing CFP control.

Authorities from the outermost regions stressed the need for stronger recognition of regional

and insular specificities. Suggestions included a dedicated definition for the Mediterranean

coastal-littoral fleet, compensatory mechanisms for insularity, and explicit recognition of the

outermost regions under Article 349 TFEU. Moreover, they argued that the EU methodology

for assessing fleet balance and capacity, which relies largely on ICES-type stock assessments,

is not well adapted to their multi-species tropical fisheries. Therefore, they requested that any

future legislative proposal include a dedicated chapter on the outermost regions.

Some authorities also proposed a new crisis financial mechanism to respond to geopolitical

shocks, such as fuel-price increases and import dependence. Other suggestions concerned

simplification of CLLD/FLAG management, removal of the 15% ring-fencing for fisheries

control expenditure, extension of processing aid to non-SMEs at lower aid intensity, raising

the vessel-length threshold for engine-replacement support to 32 metres to cover the Azorean

tuna fleet, and reconsideration of the exclusion of vessels over 24 metres, which account for

around 70% of EU landings. Further technical proposals related to generational renewal and

fleet management. These included exempting vessel transfers to young fishers from the

balanced fleet segment test, creating a dedicated funding line and award criterion for

generational renewal, adapting capacity-measurement rules so that electric or hybrid

propulsion upgrades would not be treated as capacity increases, and establishing a dedicated

non-transferable capacity reserve for the coastal fleet.

Fishing associations called for greater autonomy in the selection of operations, arguing that

managing authorities should be limited to legality and eligibility checks and should not reassess

strategic merit already evaluated locally. Some respondents also pointed to persistent gender

gaps and called for dedicated support for women across the fisheries value chain, as well as

measures to ensure their representation in the governing bodies of fisheries associations. For

their part, companies argued that restricting support to SMEs unfairly excludes larger

processing and marketing enterprises. They supported funding for digital landing, weighing

and reporting infrastructure in small ports, islands and remote landing sites, stressing that such

investments should be treated as compliance infrastructure rather than as capacity-enhancing

measures. One respondent warned that a blanket exclusion of subsidies related to bottom

trawling subsidies could create legal uncertainty and, if successfully challenged, weaken the

subsidy framework. The producer organisation respondent called for simpler application forms,

a one-off digital documentation system, faster processing and payment, wider use of simplified

cost models, and more harmonised requirements across Member States.

Citizens generally favoured a stricter transposition of WTO rules, going beyond a minimal

approach, with particular emphasis on tackling IUU and unregulated fishing. They also argued

that EMFAF support should be made conditional on environmental safeguards and should

prioritise low-impact fisheries. Meanwhile, environmental organisationssupported full WTO

transposition and streamlined implementation. However, they argued that low uptake of funds

cannot be attributed primarily to administrative burden. In their view, support should be

concentrated on measures delivering the highest environmental public value rather than on a

general relaxation of eligibility conditions. Finally, trade unions welcomed simplification,

asking for a broader range of eligible investment categories, targeted relief for micro and small

enterprises, and the removal of the SME-only restriction for processing and marketing support.

3. DESCRIPTION OF THE AMENDMENTS

The Commission has considered various options in response to these requests. While

workshops and exchanges of best practices will continue, more concrete action is needed to

provide greater flexibility, resolve unintended restrictions and unlock the Fund’s full potential

for the remainder of the programming period.

The Commission proposes amending the EMFAF Regulation by introducing new definitions

to provide greater legal certainty, making certain conditions on engine replacement or

modernisation more flexible, introducing two new schemes for temporary cessation and small-

scale fisheries, increasing the aid intensity to support generational renewal, and easing certain

restrictions on budget allocations.

The proposed amendments draw on lessons learned from the mid-term evaluation and the

feedback received in response to the call for evidence. Their aim is to enable a balanced

transition towards improved funding practices and make it easier for fishers, especially young

and small-scale fishers, to access accessing financing.

3.1 AMENDMENTS ON THE TRANSPOSITION OF THE WTO FISHERIES AGREEMENT ON

SUBSIDIES

On 17 June 2022, the 12th WTO Ministerial Conference adopted the Protocol amending the

Marrakesh Agreement establishing the WTO (‘the Protocol’), which contains the Agreement

on Fisheries Subsidies (AFS). The EU deposited its instrument of acceptance on 7 June 2023.

The Protocol entered into force on 15 September 2025, upon acceptance by two thirds of WTO

members.

The AFS identifies a number of fisheries subsidies as harmful and establishes an obligation for

WTO members to prohibit subsidies for vessels or operators involved in illegal, unreported and

unregulated (‘IUU’) fishing or fishing-related activities in support of IUU fishing, fishing or

fishing-related activities involving overfished stocks or fishing or fishing-related activities on

high seas outside the regulatory competence of a relevant regional fisheries management

organisation or arrangement (‘RFMO/A’).

In order to implement the provisions of the Agreement and ensure full compliance with its

obligations, in particular as regards EU funding, it is necessary to amend Regulation (EU)

2021/1139 to provide that for operators and vessels involved in IUU fishing or fishing-related

activities in support of IUU fishing, as determined in accordance with Article 3.2 of the

Agreement, and fishing and fishing-related activities on the high seas outside the regulatory

competence of a relevant RFMO/A are ineligible for support under the EMFAF. To ensure

consistency with the AFS obligations, applications for support should be inadmissible and

operations and expenditure should be ineligible for as long as the AFS remains in force.

3.2 AMENDMENTS ON THE ENERGY TRANSITION

The CFP and the EMFAF will be instrumental in guiding the energy transition of the fisheries

and aquaculture sectors over the coming years. Securing adequate financing for this transition

is crucial for increasing the sector’s competitiveness and economic performance, reducing its

environmental footprint and contributing to the EU’s climate objectives, including climate

neutrality by 2050. In particular, a majority of stakeholders have stressed that the transition

towards low-impact, climate-smart fisheries requires targeted investments in vessel

modernisation, energy-efficient technology and infrastructure.

Member States already have considerable opportunities to advance energy-efficient

technologies in the fisheries sector through the EMFAF while respecting the fundamentals of

the CFP, particularly the requirement to maintain a balance between fleet segments and

available fishing opportunities. A wide range of measures contributing to the energy transition

are already eligible for support, including investments in technologies to improve vessel

structure and on-board equipment, propulsion and auxiliary engines, fuel performance and

LED lighting, as well as strategies to improve fishing operations, such as route optimisation,

on-board fuel control and monitoring, slow steaming and the use of fishing gear technologies

intended to reduce fuel consumption, including new netting and gear designs that reduce drag.

As confirmed by the EMFAF mid-term evaluation, the fund has helped reduce the carbon

footprint of the fisheries and aquaculture sectors through a range of interventions. These

include support for the adoption of more energy-efficient production methods, such as the

deployment of CO2-efficient propulsion technologies for fishing vessels and the use of

renewable energy sources in aquaculture.

However, support under the EMFAF for such investments remains subject to strict eligibility

conditions designed to prevent overcapacity and overfishing. As a result, the uptake of support

for the transition to clean technologies has been limited to date. In particular, EMFAF

investments in the development of pilot projects and the retrofitting of fishing vessels have not

been sufficiently used, possibly due to legal uncertainty as to whether vessels used for pilot

activities should be classified as fishing vessels and therefore be subject to the requirements

applicable to fishing vessels engaged in normal fishing operations. It is therefore necessary to

amend the EMFAF Regulation to provide legal clarity and ensure that the legal framework

reflects the practical realities of the energy transition in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors.

• New definitions

New definitions are introduced for ‘energy transition’, ‘pilot projects for energy transition’ and

‘demonstrators.’ These definitions clarify that pilot projects are not to be regarded as fishing

vessels and that, accordingly, the requirements laid down in Articles 17 to 19 do not apply.

This clarification is intended to enable Member States to support pilot projects and

demonstrator vessels, thereby promoting innovation, facilitating the testing of new

decarbonisation and energy efficiency technologies and contributing to the development of

sustainable fishing practices.

• Higher caps for fleet measures and permanent cessation

The evaluation of the CFP Regulation concluded that insufficient rationalisation of capacity in

certain fleet segments, combined with reduced landings in several sea basins, continues to

weigh on incomes and undermines the long-term profitability of many fleet segments11. Since

2013, reductions in fleet capacity have fallen short of expectations, and capacity imbalances

persist in some fleet segments, reflecting inter alia, market conditions, fleet profitability and

national implementation choices. The evaluation also indicates that a significant number of

11 SWD(2026)120.

operators are delaying their exit from the sector in anticipation of EU-funded permanent

cessation schemes.

Certain categories of support, referred to as ‘fleet measures’12 under the EMFAF Regulation,

are capped to limit budgetary exposure and preserve resources for the Fund’s other priorities.

Support for the first acquisition of fishing vessels, specific investments relating to fishing

vessel operations, and the permanent and temporary cessation of fishing activities, is

financially capped. Aggregate expenditure under these measures may not exceed EUR 6

million or 15% of the financial allocation of each Member State, whichever is lower.

Increasing the budgetary threshold for fleet measures and permanent cessation from 15% to

30% and eliminating this threshold for temporary cessation will give Member States greater

flexibility in programming support under these measures. This will enable them to respond

more effectively to the sector’s needs, including the need to improve the balance between

fishing fleet capacity and available fishing opportunities. This increased budgetary flexibility

will respond to requests from a majority of Member States for additional flexibility in the

allocation of their EMFAF envelopes for the remainder of the programming period. This would

enable them to increase the allocate more funding to interventions such as permanent and

temporary cessation, thereby addressing the growing need to restore balance within their fleets,

while increasing the financial allocation to other fleet measures.

• Engine replacement and modernisation

The CFP Regulation evaluation13 identified persistently low levels of investment in fleet

renewal. This reflects the inherently risky nature of the fisheries sector, where long asset

lifetimes and uncertain economic returns tend to discourage capital investment. Meanwhile,

the vulnerability of marine biological resources further increases revenue uncertainty and

thereby weakens incentives for fleet modernisation and adaptation. In addition, limited

profitability constrains operators’ capacity to invest in fleet modernisation, while the strict

conditions governing the use of public funding to support such investments further intensify

these constraints. Consequently, certain fleet segments continue to be characterised by ageing

vessels, safety concerns, reliance on obsolete technologies and lower competitiveness

compared with some third-country fishing fleets. The advanced age of parts of the EU fleet,

coupled with high energy dependence and rising operational costs, erodes the sector’s

economic resilience to external shocks.

Furthermore, the EMFAF mid-term evaluation has shown that the modernisation of small-scale

vessels is impeded not by a lack of policy relevance, but by administrative complexity, which

limits short-term effectiveness14. Stakeholder input further indicates that the transition to low-

impact, climate-smart fisheries requires targeted investment in vessel modernisation, energy-

efficient technologies and related infrastructure. Without such structural modernisation, the

effectiveness of the green transition in the fisheries sector will remain limited.

The current rules on engine replacement provide particularly limited flexibility, while the

applicable measurement methodology has proved excessively complex. That complexity has

often been identified by Member States as a significant obstacle to implementation. To date,

12 Articles 17, 18, 19 of Regulation (EU) 2021/1139. 13 SWD(2026)120. 14 SWD(2026) 88 final https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=SWD:2026:87:FIN.

the Commission has received no evidence that Member States have successfully applied such

detailed requirements. As a result, the existing methodology hinders the effective use of support

under the EMFAF, for measures contributing to the energy transition.

To accelerate the energy transition and enhance the attractiveness of the sector, the rules

governing the modernisation or replacement of engines in small-scale coastal fishing vessels

should be made more flexible. Simplifying the technical approval process, including by

allowing the installation of more efficient engines and removing the current non-operational

methodology, should enable more vessels to be modernised, thereby contributing to an overall

reduction in CO2 emissions.

Increased flexibility for installing new or modernised engines in small-scale fisheries,

combined with the removal of the unworkable methodology for calculating CO2 emission

reductions, will provide more effective support for the sector’s transition. In addition, shifting

the focus from kW engine power capacity to gains in energy efficiency, as reflected in the

proposed reduction in CO2 emissions, will enable support for more efficient engines while

ensuring an overall reduction in fuel consumption and emissions. To preserve the balance of

the fleet, such modernisation should continue to comply with existing fleet capacity rules and

be strictly linked to the energy transition and CO2 emissions reduction objectives.

In addition, the minimum fleet registration period will be reduced from ten to five calendar

years. The vessel capacity threshold expressed in gross tonnage will be increased for vessels

of less than 12 metres in length to accommodate the additional volume requirements associated

with engine replacement and improvements in energy efficiency.

3.3 AMENDMENTS ON THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC OUTLOOK OF THE SECTOR

• Specific support for small-scale coastal fisheries (SSCF)

Small-scale coastal fisheries (SSCF) are carried out by marine and inland fishing vessels with

an overall length of less than 12 metres that do not use towed fishing gear, as well as by fishers

on foot, including shellfish gatherers. This sector accounts for nearly 75% of all fishing vessels

registered in the Union and almost half of all employment in the fisheries sector. They are vital

to coastal communities, providing employment opportunities and contributing to local

economies. These fishers have cultural and social ties to their communities and pass down

traditional fishing knowledge from one generation to the next.

Although the sector was profitable in 2025 and recorded increased labour productivity, the

situation varies across regions, with many small-scale fleets continuing to face net losses. The

2025 Annual Economic Report on the EU Fishing Fleet, compiled by the Scientific, Technical

and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF), points out that small-scale fishers receive

fewer operating subsidies despite paying higher fuel prices15. The sector’s lack of

attractiveness, particularly due to safety concerns and poor working conditions, requires

continued attention. In addition, with the average age in many fishing communities exceeding

50, generational renewal and the diversification of activities remain major challenges. To

encourage sustainable fishing practices, the EMFAF should therefore grant preferential

the EU.

treatment to these operators. Stakeholders emphasise that SSCF, which are both

environmentally sustainable and financially vulnerable, should be prioritised to ensure they

receive enhanced support. The proposed amendment to Article 13 of the EMFAF Regulation

aims to secure greater financial support for generational renewal and SSCF, which are two key

priorities under the social dimension of the blue economy that remain insufficiently tackled at

EU level. Given current demographic trends, these challenges are likely to intensify, requiring

increased attention to strengthen social sustainability and improve conditions for young fishers

and SSCF.

The proposed adjustments to the EMFAF Regulation aim to improve and facilitate

implementation by addressing identified issues, in line with CFP objectives. The changes seek

to increase flexibility for Member States and reduce the administrative burden for beneficiaries,

enabling the EMFAF budget to be used more effectively. Greater flexibility and simplification

are necessary to ensure that the future of fisheries is ecologically, economically and socially

sustainable.

• Transfer of ownership

With the average age in many fishing communities exceeding 50, generational renewal and

diversification of activities remain a challenge. In particular, creating and developing new

economic activities in the fisheries sector is financially demanding for young fishers and should

therefore be taken into account in the allocation and targeting of EMFAF support. Such

development is essential to strengthen the sector’s competitiveness in the EU. Accordingly,

support should be made available to young fishers starting fishing activities to help them

establish themselves in the sector.

The CFP Regulation evaluation found that the lack of generational renewal in the fishing sector

is primarily linked to weak economic performance, which appears to undermine job security

and wage levels. It also highlighted that an ageing fleet, poor safety conditions and uneven

skills levels across Member States contribute to unattractive working conditions. The

evaluation points to a widening gap between policy ambition and the economic conditions

necessary to ensure generational renewal, as the sector’s economic performance has not

improved sufficiently to support it. Declining profitability and continued price volatility have

further increased income instability, thereby making the sector less attractive to new entrants.

The Fishers of the Future report identified several challenges associated with the lack of

generational renewal16. In many regions, the number of large-scale fishers – those who own or

work on vessels over 12 metres – has decreased as a result of fleet consolidation and increasing

concentration of ownership. As access to funding is not available to all large-scale vessel

owners, fishing rights have gradually become concentrated in fewer hands. Many large-scale

fishers are now employed by corporate entities operating multiple vessels, while others

continue to work for individual vessel owners. This process has increasingly concentrated

profits from large-scale fishing within large corporations, although a considerable number of

vessels remain individually- or family-owned.

/publication/d1fde0a2-cf0f-11ef-be2a-01aa75ed71a1

A key condition for young people entering the sector is the ability to invest in and acquire

ownership of vessels and businesses, which would enable them to build a career. To address

fleet concentration and support young fishers in becoming entrepreneurs rather than

employees, the Commission proposes amending Article 13 by removing business ownership

transfers from the list of ineligible operations. At present, start-up support for vessel acquisition

is limited to the purchase of a first vessel or of a controlling share, which does not sufficiently

ensure business continuity or ownership transfer. Extending support to cover business transfers

would help address the challenges of generational renewal by enabling the transfer of both

vessels and businesses from older to younger generations. This would also reduce the need for

exceptions and improve uptake of the Fund.

• Introduction of a new scheme to alleviate the socio-economic impact of annual

fishing quotas on fishers

Decreasing fishing opportunities would have a significant impact on fishing enterprises,

particularly small-scale fisheries, which often lack the financial resilience to absorb such

reductions. The primary objective of the CFP and the EMFAF is to ensure the conservation of

fish stocks, not only through the annual allocation of quotas, but also by providing appropriate

incentives for fishers to diversify their activities or suspend them temporarily.

As noted above, excessive fishing capacity relative to available resources leads to suboptimal

economic outcomes for the sector. To date, public support has only partially mitigated these

difficulties, mainly through temporary and permanent cessation schemes. However, existing

support remains insufficient to address the serious socio-economic consequences faced by

fishers as a result of quota reductions and effort limitations. The new temporary cessation

scheme is intended to provide additional support to operators by helping them to cover fixed

costs and offering short-term relief. In the longer term, the sector’s viability may depend on

how such financial support is used.

This new scheme could provide one-off, targeted support to fishers severely affected by

reductions in fishing quotas or further effort limitations, helping to alleviate the resulting socio-

economic impacts. Accordingly, the amendment of Article 21 would benefit not only operators,

but also their employees and, by extension, the coastal communities that depend on the fishing

industry.

• Increased aid intensity for young fishers

Structural challenges persist in the fishing and aquaculture sectors and discourage younger

generations from entering the profession. These difficulties are linked to weak economic

performance, including declining profitability and continued price volatility, and factors

beyond the scope of the CFP, such as demographic ageing and safety and working conditions.

The proposed increase in aid intensity for young fishers represents a critical step towards

addressing structural gaps in the current framework, particularly within the fisheries sector,

where issues such as employment attractiveness and generational renewal are not adequately

addressed. By strengthening financial support, the amendment would help reduce barriers

linked to limited access to finance, which continue to hinder young fishers’ entry into the

sector. This targeted intervention would promote greater inclusiveness and contribute directly

to generational renewal, thereby helping to safeguard the long-term sustainability of the sector.

By making it easier for young workers to establish themselves, the measure could renew the

workforce, foster innovation and enhance the future viability of a sector that is vital to both

local economies and food security.

3.4 AMENDMENTS TO PROVIDE FURTHER ENVIRONMENTAL INCENTIVES

• Collective implementation of the national strategy for marine protected areas and

the creation of fishing restricted areas

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are essential for achieving biodiversity conservation targets

and supporting the long-term sustainability of fisheries. At the same time, fisheries are likely

to be affected by the further expansion of offshore wind energy and MPAs, both offshore and

in coastal areas. Fisheries stakeholders are already involved in planning processes under EU

energy and environmental legislation. Recent policy developments, including the European

Ocean Pact, seek to address these concerns through improved coordination across relevant legal

instruments, including the CFP Regulation.

The EMFAF mid-term evaluation concluded that support for measures related to data

collection, control and enforcement, the management of MPAs, and community-led local

development (CLLD) could generate long-term benefits for the fisheries sector. However, the

overall impact of the Fund will depend on the effectiveness of the projects supported by the

end of the programming period.

The Commission is proposing an amendment by adding a paragraph to Article 25 to further

encourage support for the collective implementation of national MPA strategies and the

establishment of fishing restricted areas (FRAs). It provides for support for the design,

development and collective implementation of national MPA and FRA strategies, the

management of such areas, and the development of fisheries co-management schemes. The

amendment also covers awareness-raising measures aimed at promoting stakeholder

cooperation in the establishment and management of MPAs and FRAs. In addition, the

amendment would also allow support for measures to maintain viable SSCF and facilitate the

diversification of fishing activities. Such support would be provided exclusively in the form of

a lump sum.

• Flexibility in the limit on days at sea for permanent cessation eligibility for eel

fisheries

Eel fishing is seasonal and takes place under specific conditions. Therefore, a derogation from

the limit on the number of days at sea applicable to eel fishing under Article 21 would be

justified. This would enhance the implementation of the Eels Regulation and contribute to a

more sustainable management of this stock.

3.5 AMENDMENTS TO INCREASE SAFETY AT SEA

• Support for navigation technologies such as GPS and radars to increase safety at

sea

As noted above, several stakeholders have highlighted the limited attractiveness of the fisheries

sector, due in part to safety concerns and inadequate working conditions. Additionally, the need

to ensure generational renewal is considered critical to the sector’s future viability and requires,

among other things, adjustments to improve operational safety and efficiency.

It is therefore necessary to amend Article 13 in order to enhance the safety of fishing vessels

and support technological improvements and modernisation. This would help ensure that

funding is used not only to preserve existing activities, but also to foster innovation and the

long-term profitability of the sector. Subject to the necessary safeguards and verification by the

Member States, this measure would significantly improve safety on board without increasing

a vessel’s capacity to locate fish, while.

4. CONCLUSION

Although the core issues addressed by the EMFAF – including market failures and the

implementation of the CFP – remain unchanged, lessons learned have highlighted the need for

targeted adjustments to the EMFAF Regulation.

Through the proposed amendments, the Commission seeks to improve and facilitate the

implementation of the EMFAF by enabling a swift and robust response to certain issues

identified in practice, while preserving the fundamental principles of the policy and ensuring

compliance with the CFP Regulation. The proposed response would give Member States

greater flexibility and reduce the administrative burden on beneficiaries, thereby enabling

better use of the opportunities offered by the EMFAF during the remainder of the programming

period. At the same time, the amendments are specific, targeted and limited in scope.

The proposal is specifically designed to simplify the EMFAF legal framework and incorporate

the necessary changes stemming from the WTO Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies, in order to

ensure effective implementation of the internationally agreed disciplines.

Alongside the measures proposed by the Commission, Member States will continue to play an

essential role in ensuring that the administrative burden on fishers, aquaculture producers and

other beneficiaries remains limited and proportionate.

The proposed amendments have therefore been developed to support a balanced transition

towards improved funding practices and facilitate access to financing for fishers, especially

young and small-scale fishers.

Ettepanek:

EUROOPA PARLAMENDI JA NÕUKOGU MÄÄRUS,

millega muudetakse määrust (EL) 2021/1139 seoses lihtsustamise ja WTO

kalandustoetuste lepingu ülevõtmisega

SELETUSKIRI

1. ETTEPANEKU TAUST

• Ettepaneku põhjused ja eesmärgid

Määruse (EL) 2021/11391 (edaspidi „EMKVFi määrus“) alusel loodud Euroopa Merendus-,

Kalandus- ja Vesiviljelusfond (EMKVF) eraldab ELi eelarvest vahendeid, et toetada ühist

kalanduspoliitikat (ÜKP), liidu merenduspoliitikat ja liidu rahvusvahelisi kohustusi ookeanide

majandamise valdkonnas. ÜKP õigusraamistik, mis hõlmab ELi ainupädevusse kuuluvat mere

bioloogiliste ressursside kaitset koos EMKVFi antava struktuuritoetusega, on osutunud

tõhusaks kalavarude hea seisundi säilitamisel või taastamisel ning säästva vesiviljeluse

edendamisel. Kuna kalandus- ja vesiviljelussektorid on peamised ELi toidutootmisse

panustajad, vajavad need sektorid usaldusväärset rahastamist, et tulla toime negatiivsete

välismõjude, keskkonna muutlikkuse ning innovatsiooni, strateegilise planeerimise ja

kohanemise vajadusega. Seetõttu toetab EMKVF säästvat kalapüüki ja vesiviljelust, mere

bioloogiliste ressursside kaitset, toiduga kindlustatust, sinist majandust ning heas seisukorras,

ohutute ja turvaliste merede ja ookeanide majandamist. Liikmesriigid koostavad riiklikud

EMKVFi programmid, mis on kohandatud nende vajadustele ning põhinevad EMKVFi

määruses sätestatud prioriteetidel ja eesmärkidel.

Kuigi praegune õigusraamistik on strateegiliselt oluline, esineb selle rakendamisel probleeme.

EMKVFi vahehindamisest2 ning liikmesriikidelt, sidusrühmadelt ja nõuandekomisjonidelt

korrapäraselt saadud tagasiside näitavad, et rahastamisvõimalusi peetakse piiratuks ja nende

paindlikkust ebapiisavaks. Peamiste takistustena energiasüsteemi ümberkujundamise,

väikesemahulise kalapüügi ja põlvkondade vahetuse toetamisel nähakse õiguskindlusetust ja

keerukust. Ning kuigi EMKVF on ÜKP rakendamise peamine rahastamisallikas, lähevad

mõned selle sätted ÜKP määruse nõuetest kaugemale ja neid on alates EMKVFi määruse

vastuvõtmisest mõjutanud märkimisväärsed välistegurite muutused, nagu näiteks üha

pakilisem vajadus toetada kõnealuse sektori energiasüsteemi ümberkujundamist. Seepärast

soovitatakse hindamises sihipäraseid meetmeid, et kiirendada rakendamise ajakava ja

vähendada halduslikke viivitusi.

Käesoleva ettepaneku eesmärk on muuta EMKVFi määrust, et muuta EMKVF liikmesriikide

ja toetusesaajate jaoks kättesaadavamaks ja lihtsamini rakendatavaks. Muudatusettepanek

sisaldab ka vajalikke muudatusi, et tagada Maailma Kaubandusorganisatsiooni (WTO)

kalandustoetuste lepingu täielik rakendamine ELi õiguses. Kõnealune leping võeti vastu WTO

12. ministrite konverentsil 17. juunil 2022, ratifitseeriti ELi poolt 7. juunil 2023 ning jõustus

15. septembril 2025. Selle lepinguga keelatakse kahjulikud kalandustoetused ning võetakse

vastavate uute kohustuste kehtestamisega sihikule konkreetsed püügitegevused ja -piirkonnad,

sealhulgas ebaseaduslik, teatamata ja reguleerimata kalapüük (edaspidi „ETR-kalapüük“),

ülepüütud kalavarude püük ja reguleerimata avamerepüük.

• Kooskõla poliitikavaldkonnas praegu kehtivate õigusnormidega

Ettepanek piirdub määruse (EL) 2021/1139 sihipäraste muudatustega ning on kooskõlas

määrusega (EL) nr 1380/2013 ühise kalanduspoliitika kohta ja määrusega (EL) 2021/1060,

millega kehtestatakse ühissätted eelarve jagatud täitmise raames hallatavate liidu fondide

kohta.

• Kooskõla muude liidu tegevuspõhimõtetega

Ettepanek ja selle eesmärgid on kooskõlas muude liidu poliitikatega, eelkõige keskkonna-,

kliima-, ühtekuuluvus-, põllumajandus-, sotsiaal-, turu- ja kaubanduspoliitikaga.

Ettepanek on kooskõlas ka algatustega, mis on sätestatud Euroopa maailmamerepaktis, milles

kohaldatakse integreeritud lähenemisviisi rahastamisele ja ookeanidega seotud poliitikale, mis

hõlmab paljusid valdkondi, sealhulgas: mere bioloogiliste ressursside kaitset, mis on üks ELi

viiest ainupädevusest; mere elurikkuse taastamist; kalavarude ja säästva vesiviljeluse

majandamist ja innovatsiooni nendes valdkondades; ÜKP rakendamist; teadmisi ookeanidest;

meresõidu turvalisust; toiduga kindlustatust ning konkurentsivõimelise ja säästva sinise

majanduse arendamist ja edendamist. Ettepanek aitab saavutada ÜRO kestliku arengu

14. eesmärki (kaitsta ja säästvalt kasutada ookeane, meresid ja mereressursse), millele EL on

pühendunud.

2. ÕIGUSLIK ALUS, SUBSIDIAARSUS JA PROPORTSIONAALSUS

• Õiguslik alus

Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikkel 42, artikli 43 lõige 2, artikli 91 lõige 1, artikli 100

lõige 2, artikli 173 lõige 3, artikkel 175, artikkel 188, artikli 192 lõige 1, artikli 194 lõige 2,

artikli 195 lõige 2 ja artikkel 349.

• Subsidiaarsus (ainupädevusse mittekuuluva valdkonna puhul)

Kavandatud sätteid rakendatakse eelarve jagatud täitmise raames kooskõlas

finantsmäärusega3.

• Proportsionaalsus

Kavandatud meetmed vastavad proportsionaalsuse põhimõttele, kuna need on asjakohased ja

vajalikud, ning muud vähem piiravad meetmed ei ole kavandatud poliitiliste eesmärkide

saavutamiseks kättesaadavad.

• Vahendi valik

Kavandatud vahend on Euroopa Parlamendi ja nõukogu määrus.

3. JÄRELHINDAMISE, SIDUSRÜHMADEGA KONSULTEERIMISE JA MÕJU

HINDAMISE TULEMUSED

• Praegu kehtivate õigusaktide järelhindamine või toimivuse kontroll

EMKFi määruse (2014–2020) järelhindamise ja EMKVFi määruse (2021–2027)

vahehindamise esialgsed tulemused näitavad, et varasematel ELi fondidel, mis olid suunatud

sarnastele valdkondadele, oli positiivne mõju kalandus- ja vesiviljelussektoritele ning need on

kaasa aidanud ÜKP rakendamisele, sealhulgas mere bioloogiliste ressursside kaitsele,

3 Euroopa Parlamendi ja nõukogu 23. septembri 2024. aasta määrus (EL, Euratom) 2024/2509, mis

käsitleb liidu üldeelarve suhtes kohaldatavaid finantsreegleid (ELT L, 2024/2509, 26.9.2024, ELI:

http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2024/2509/oj).

ET 3 ET

eelkõige parandades kalanduse kontrolli ja nõuete täitmist ning toetades andmete kogumist.

Samuti on need andnud positiivse panuse merenduspoliitikasse, rahvusvahelisse ookeanide

majandamisse, rannikukogukondade arengusse ja säästvasse sinisesse majandusse.

EMKVFi vahehindamine näitab, et liikmesriikide arvates on aeglase rakendamise peamised

põhjused piiratud suutlikkus, institutsioonilised struktuurid ja ranged rahastamiskõlblikkuse

tingimused laevastikuga seotud meetmete puhul, ning see osutab vajadusele rakendamisviisi

veelgi parandada. Üldiselt kinnitab hindamine, et EMKVF on jätkuvalt strateegiline vahend

ELi poliitiliste prioriteetide ja riiklike vajaduste jaoks, pakkudes liikmesriikidele paindlikkust

programmide rahastamisel, et reageerida muutuvale poliitilisele olukorrale ja muutuvatele

prioriteetidele.

• Konsulteerimine sidusrühmadega

Lisaks EMKVFi vahehindamise käigus kogutud tõenditele, toetavatele uuringutele ja

teabevahetusele liikmesriikide, sektori, valitsusväliste organisatsioonide ja laiema

kodanikuühiskonnaga, on komisjon kogunud liikmesriikidelt ja sidusrühmadelt

mitmesuguseid arvamusi, et saada teavet EMKVFi määruse sihipäraste muudatuste

tegemiseks. Muudatusettepanek tugineb ka eksperdirühmades peetud aruteludele, riiklike

ekspertide panusele ning komisjoni spetsiaalse EMKVFi järelevalve ja hindamise tugiüksuse

– kalanduse ja vesiviljeluse seire-, hindamis- ja kohaliku toetuse võrgustik (FAMENET) –

tööle.

Mitmes Euroopa Parlamendi resolutsioonis on kutsutud komisjoni üles EMKVFi määrust läbi

vaatama. Parlament tunnistas oma 2024. aasta jaanuaris vastu võetud resolutsioonis ÜKP

rakendamise olukorra kohta, et EMKVF on piiratud, ning kutsus komisjoni ja liikmesriike

üles hõlbustama majandusharu spetsialistide juurdepääsu EMKVFi toetusele. 2026. aasta

märtsis vastu võetud resolutsioonis nõudis parlament EMKVFi tarbetute regulatiivsete tõkete

kõrvaldamist. Samuti rõhutas parlament oma 2025. aasta detsembris vastu võetud

resolutsioonis, milles käsitleti ELi kalalaevastiku CO2 heite vähendamist ja laevastiku

ajakohastamist, et kehtivad eeskirjad võivad tõsiselt piirata ligipääsu rahastamisele laevade

uuendamiseks ja energiatõhususe edendamiseks. Seetõttu kordas parlament oma nõudmist

teha sihipäraseid muudatusi nii ÜKP raamistikus kui ka EMKVFis, kuna usub, et kehtivad

raamistikud takistavad ohutuse ja energiatõhususe vajalikku parandamist ning kahjustavad

ELi kalurite konkurentsivõimet ja kasumlikkust võrreldes kolmandate riikide laevastikega.

Täpsemalt nõudis Euroopa Parlament EMKVFi määruse artiklite 17–19 läbivaatamist, et

lihtsustada rahastamiskõlblikkuse kriteeriume, väites, et praegused liiga piiravad tingimused

takistavad kõnealuste sätete praktilist kohaldamist, mille tulemusena kasutatakse neid sätteid

vähe. Samad murekohad kajastuvad ka kalanduskomisjoni jaoks tehtud uuringus

kalalaevastiku energiasüsteemi ümberkujundamise kohta, milles leiti pärast konsulteerimist

EMKVFi korraldusasutuse ja sektori esindajatega, et sidusrühmad peavad laevastiku

ajakohastamist prioriteediks tegevuskulude vähendamisel ja töötingimuste parandamisel,

käsitledes samal ajal CO2 heite vähendamist täiendava eesmärgina.

Lisaks korrapärasele haldusalasele teabevahetusele on mitme liikmesriigi ministrid saatnud

ühise kirja, milles kutsutakse komisjoni üles hindama, kas EMKVFi määrust saaks läbi

vaadata, et see toetaks paremini energiasüsteemi ümberkujundamist ja põlvkondade vahetust,

sealhulgas lihtsustamispaketi kaudu. Mõned liikmesriigid, nagu Eesti, Soome ja Hispaania, on

tõstatanud selle küsimuse kirjalikult ja palunud spetsiaalseid kohtumisi. Seda küsimust arutati

ka nõukogus, sealhulgas põllumajanduse ja kalanduse nõukogu 2025. aasta märtsi, 2025. aasta

novembri ja 2026. aasta märtsi istungitel.

ET 4 ET

Mitu sidusrühma, sealhulgas nõuandekomisjonid ja valdkondlikud ühendused on esitanud

ettepanekud sihipäraste muudatuste tegemiseks. Nõuandekomisjonide tõstatatud probleemid

on seotud rakendamispiirangutega, eelkõige sellega, et liikmesriigid ei korralda võimalikele

taotlejatele pakkumiskutseid, tähtajad on ebaselged ja haldusmenetlused keerulised.

Valdkondlikud ühendused on nõudnud struktuurseid meetmeid sektori pikaajalise

vastupanuvõime tugevdamiseks ning sihipäraseid kohandusi ja rohkem toetusi

energiasüsteemi õiglase ümberkujundamise jaoks. Nende organisatsioonide hulka kuuluvad

Europêche, SEA Europe, LIFE, Prantsusmaa riiklik tootjaorganisatsioonide liit (ANOP),

Prantsusmaa riiklik merekalanduse ja merevesiviljeluse komitee (CNPMEM) ning kaks selle

piirkondlikku esindust (CDPMEM du Finistère ja CRPMEM Bretagne).

Komisjon küsis tagasisidet EMKVFi võimaliku sihipärase muutmise kohta ka tagasisidekorje4

kaudu, mis oli avatud 23. juunist kuni 21. juulini 2026. Kokku saadi 69 vastust

sidusrühmadelt 18 liikmesriigist. Suurim vastajate rühm oli ettevõtjate ühendused (20

vastust), millele järgnesid valitsusvälised organisatsioonid (17 vastust). Hispaania esitas 29

vastust.

Suurim vastajate rühm oli ettevõtjate ühendused, kellelt laekus 69st vastusest 21. Suures

plaanis kutsusid nad lihtsustama haldustoiminguid, laiendama rahastamiskõlblikkust lisaks

VKEdele ka suurematele ettevõtetele, muutma laevastiku püügivõimsust käsitlevaid eeskirju

ja looma paindlikumaid tingimusi põlvkondade vahetuseks. Samuti rõhutasid nad, et

EMKVFi sihtotstarbelised vahendid tuleb säilitada ja neid ei tohiks integreerida laiemasse

fondi perioodiks pärast 2027. aastat.

Valitsusvälised organisatsioonid toetasid üldiselt WTO kalandustoetuste lepingu täielikku

ülevõtmist, sealhulgas rangeid sätteid, et hoida ära toetusi ETR-kalapüügiga seotud

tegevusele. Samal ajal rõhutasid nad, et lihtsustamine ei tohi nõrgendada

rahastamiskõlblikkuse eeskirju, järelevalvenõudeid ega sidusrühmade osalemist. Paljud

pooldasid ka vahendite ümbersuunamist väikesemahulisele, vähese mõjuga kalapüügile,

ökosüsteemide taastamisele, loomade heaolu kaitsemeetmetele ning suuremat läbipaistvust

toetuste eraldamisel.

Avaliku sektori asutused toetasid laialdaselt rakendamise lihtsustamist ja suuremat

paindlikkust. Paljud väitsid, et püügivõimsuse kontseptsioon tuleks läbi vaadata, pidades

GT/kW väljendatud võimsuse piirmäärasid aegunuks. Piirkondlikud omavalitsused ja

äärepoolseimate piirkondade omavalitsused nõudsid saarte ja piirkondlike eripärade suuremat

arvessevõtmist, paindlikumaid eeskirju põlvkondade vahetuseks ja laevastiku uuendamiseks

ning mõnel juhul spetsiaalset kriisimehhanismi selliste šokkidega toimetulekuks nagu

kütusehindade tõus.

Äriühingud väitsid, et rahastamiskõlblikkuse piirdumine üksnes VKEdega jätab ebaõiglaselt

välja suuremad töötlejad ja turundusettevõtted. Samuti toetasid nad lossimisdeklaratsioonide

ja püügiaruannete digitaristu rahastamist ning väljendasid muret põhjatraalimisega seotud

toetuste täieliku väljajätmise õiguslike tagajärgede pärast.

Ka teised vastajad toetasid WTO kalandustoetuste lepingu täielikku ülevõtmist ja

sihipärasemat rahastamise suunamist keskkonnakaitsele. Samuti kutsusid nad üles lihtsustama

taotlusmenetlusi, kiirendama makseid ja kaotama piirangud, mille kohaselt on üksnes VKEd

rahastamiskõlblikud.

EUROOPA PARLAMENDI JA NÕUKOGU MÄÄRUS,

millega muudetakse määrust (EL) 2021/1139 seoses lihtsustamise ja WTO

kalandustoetuste lepingu ülevõtmisega

EUROOPA PARLAMENT JA EUROOPA LIIDU NÕUKOGU,

võttes arvesse Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingut, eriti selle artiklit 42, artikli 43 lõiget 2,

artikli 91 lõiget 1, artikli 100 lõiget 2, artikli 173 lõiget 3, artiklit 175, artiklit 188, artikli 192

lõiget 1, artikli 194 lõiget 2, artikli 195 lõiget 2 ja artiklit 349,

võttes arvesse Euroopa Komisjoni ettepanekut

olles edastanud seadusandliku akti eelnõu liikmesriikide parlamentidele,

toimides seadusandliku tavamenetluse kohaselt

ning arvestades järgmist:

(1) Oma vajaduste ja praeguste väljakutsete tõttu vajab Euroopa Liidu kalandussektor

Euroopa Merendus-, Kalandus- ja Vesiviljelusfondi (edaspidi „EMKVF“) raames

paremini kohandatud ja selgemaid toetusmeetmeid. Käesolevas määruses kavandatud

kohanduste eesmärk on parandada ja hõlbustada EMKVFi rakendamist, käsitledes

teatavaid probleeme, mis on tuvastatud nii EMKVFi vahehindamises kui ka

sidusrühmadega peetud konsultatsioonides, kaldumata seejuures kõrvale poliitika

aluspõhimõtetest ja tagades vastavuse ühise kalanduspoliitika (ÜKP) määrusele.

Muudatuste eesmärk on anda liikmesriikidele rohkem paindlikkust ja vähendada

toetusesaajate koormust, et nad saaksid EMKVFi pakutavaid võimalusi ülejäänud

programmitöö perioodil paremini ära kasutada.

(2) Läbi tuleks vaadata laevastikuga seotud meetmete ja püügitegevuse püsiva lõpetamise

eelarveliste eraldiste piirangud, et anda liikmesriikidele suurem paindlikkus ja

tegevusruum nende meetmete raames lisaeraldiste kavandamisel.

(3) Meresõiduohutuse parandamiseks ilma püügivõimsust suurendamata tuleks

rahastamiskõlblikuks muuta sellised navigatsioonitehnoloogiad nagu GPS või radarid.

(4) Põlvkondade vahetus kalanduses on oluline Euroopa toiduga kindlustatuse,

kestlikkuse, konkurentsivõime ja rannikualade elujõulisuse jaoks. Seepärast tuleks

hõlbustada omandiõiguse üleminekut noortele kaluritele ja väikesemahulisele

rannapüügile. Väikesemahulise kalapüügiga tegelevate kalurite elujõulisuse

tagamiseks ja majandusliku haavatavuse vähendamiseks on vaja pakkuda asjakohaseid

rahalisi stiimuleid tegevuse mitmekesistamiseks.

(5) Kooskõlas põhjendusega 4 peaksid liikmesriigid seega saama suurendada noortele

kaluritele antavat abi osakaalu, et toetada põlvkondade vahetust ja hõlbustada nende

sisenemist sektorisse.

(6) Energiasüsteemi ümberkujundamise protsess nõuab suuremat paindlikkust ja

lihtsustamist, et tagada kalanduse tuleviku keskkonnaalane, majanduslik ja sotsiaalne

kestlikkus, säilitades samal ajal praeguste ärimudelite elujõulisuse. Üks viis

ET 7 ET

kalandussektori energiasüsteemi ümberkujundamise kiirendamiseks ja liidu

konkurentsivõime suurendamiseks on asendada või moderniseerida mootoreid,

kasutades näiteks vesinikul, ammoniaagil, sisepõlemisel, vesinikkütuseelementidel,

elektril, elektri ja sisepõlemismootori kombinatsioonil (hübriid),

vesinikkütuseelementide hübriidtehnoloogial või muul samaväärsel energiatõhusal või

alternatiivkütuse tehnoloogial põhinevat tehnoloogiat. Energiasüsteemi

ümberkujundamise protsessi toetamiseks ja sektori atraktiivsuse suurendamiseks

tuleks väikesemahulise rannapüügi laevadele anda suurem paindlikkus oma

laevamootorite moderniseerimisel või asendamisel. Seepärast tuleks muuta määruse

(EL) 2021/1139 artikli 18 lõike 2 punktis c sätestatud nõudeid, et suunata tähelepanu

mootori võimsuselt kilovattides selle panusele energiatõhususse, mida mõõdetakse

kavandatava CO2 heite vähendamisega. Määruse (EL) 2021/1139 artikli 18 lõike 2

punktis d sätestatud mootorite asendamise nõudeid tuleks kohandada, et kaotada

jäigad künnised, mis takistavad praegu rakendamist, võimaldades seeläbi kogu

laevastikus ulatuslikumat CO2 heite vähendamist.

(7) Kalandussektori halduskoormuse edasiseks vähendamiseks tuleks kalalaevade

registreerimisperioodi lühendada kümnelt kalendriaastalt viiele. Lisaks tuleks

väikesemahulise rannapüügi puhul lubada suurendada laevade kogumahutavust, et

võtta arvesse mootori asendamiseks või energiatõhususe parandamiseks vajalikku

mahu suurenemist.

(8) Angerjapüük on väga hooajaline, kuna see sõltub geograafilistest teguritest ja angerja

keerulisest elutsüklist. Lihtsustamise huvides tuleks merel toimuva püügitegevuse

arvutamisel arvesse võtta angerjapüügi eripära ning määruse (EL) 2021/1139 artikli 20

lõike 2 punktiga c tuleks kehtestada erand 90-päevase merel viibimise nõudest, nagu

see on juba ette nähtud kõnealuse määruse artiklis 21.

(9) Tuleks lubada anda rahalist toetust püügitegevuse ajutiseks peatamiseks, et leevendada

püügivõimaluste märkimisväärse ja ootamatu vähendamise sotsiaal-majanduslikku

mõju kaluritele.

(10) Täiendavat rahalist toetust on vaja selleks, et edendada innovatsiooni, energiasüsteemi

ümberkujundamist ja energiatõhususe algatusi, mis aitavad kaasa liidu keskkonna- ja

kliimaeesmärkide saavutamisele, eelkõige kalandus- ja vesiviljelussektoris. Seepärast

tuleks nendes sektorites lubada täiendavat sihipärast toetust katse- ja

teadusprojektidele, mis kujutavad endast eksperimentaalalgatusi, mille eesmärk on

katsetada meetme teostatavust kohaldatava õigusraamistiku alusel. Samamoodi tuleks

lubada rahalist toetust sadamatesse ja taristusse tehtavateks investeeringuteks, mis

aitavad kaasa energiasüsteemi ümberkujundamisele kalandussektoris.

(11) Liikmesriikidel peaks olema lubatud täiendavalt toetada merekaitsealade ja

püügikeelualade riiklike strateegiate väljatöötamist, täiustamist ja ühist rakendamist,

samuti nende alade majandamist.

(12) Määrust (EL) 2021/1139 on vaja muuta ka selleks, et võtta üle protokoll, millega

muudetakse Maailma Kaubandusorganisatsiooni asutamist käsitlevat Marrakechi

lepingut ja mis sisaldab kalandustoetuste lepingut5.

5 Nõukogu peasekretariaat avaldas Euroopa Liidu Teatajas teatise mis käsitleb Maailma

Kaubandusorganisatsiooni asutamist käsitleva Marrakechi lepingu muutmise protokolli seoses

kalandustoetuste lepinguga (ELT L, 2025/1962, 25.9.2025, ELI:

(13) Euroopa Liit on liige Maailma Kaubandusorganisatsioonis (WTO), kes algatas 2001.

aasta novembris kaubandusläbirääkimiste Doha vooru, mida tuntakse Doha

arengukava nime all. Kalandustoetusi käsitlevate WTO läbirääkimiste eesmärk oli

saavutada ÜRO kestliku arengu eesmärkide alaeesmärk 14.6, milles keskendutakse

teatavatele liigset püügivõimsust ja ülepüüki põhjustavate kalandustoetuste

keelustamisele, ebaseadusliku, teatamata ja reguleerimata kalapüüki soodustavate

toetuste kaotamisele ning uute kahjulike toetuste kehtestamisest hoidumisele.

(14) 17. juunil 2022 võeti WTO 12. ministrite konverentsil vastu protokoll, millega

muudetakse Maailma Kaubandusorganisatsiooni asutamist käsitlevat Marrakechi

lepingut (edaspidi „protokoll“), ning mis sisaldab kalandustoetuste lepingut (edaspidi

„leping“). Protokoll jõustus 15. septembril 2025, kui nõutavad kaks kolmandikku

WTO liikmetest olid lepingu heakskiitmiskirjad hoiule andnud.

(15) Leping liigitab mitmed kalandustoetused kahjulikuks ja kohustab WTO liikmeid

keelama toetusi laevadele või ettevõtjatele, kes tegelevad ebaseadusliku, teatamata ja

reguleerimata kalapüügiga või seda toetava tegevusega, samuti sellisele kalapüügile ja

sellega seotud tegevusele avamerel, mis jääb väljaspoole mistahes asjaomase

piirkondliku kalandusorganisatsiooni või -korralduse regulatiivset pädevust.

(16) Protokoll kiideti heaks nõukogu otsusega (EL) 2023/11166 Euroopa Liit andis oma

heakskiitmiskirja hoiule 7. juunil 2023. Protokolli tuleks rakendada liidu õiguses.

(17) Lepingu sätete rakendamiseks ja selles sisalduvate kohustuste täieliku täitmise

tagamiseks, eelkõige seoses ELi poolse rahastamisega, on vaja muuta määrust (EL)

2021/1139, et tagada, et EMKVFi toetuse saamiseks ei oleks kõlblikud ettevõtjad ja

laevad, kes tegelevad lepingu artikli 3 lõike 2 tähenduses ebaseadusliku, teatamata ja

reguleerimata kalapüügiga või sellist kalapüüki toetava kalapüügiga seotud tegevusega

ning väljaspoole mistahes asjaomase piirkondliku kalandusorganisatsiooni või -

korralduse regulatiivset pädevust jääva kalapüügi ja sellega seotud tegevusega

avamerel.

(18) Lepingu artikli 5 lõike 1 kohaselt ei tohi ükski WTO liige anda ega säilitada toetusi

kalapüügiks või kalapüügiga seotud tegevuseks väljaspool rannikuliikme või

rannikuäärse mitteliikme jurisdiktsiooni või väljaspool mis tahes asjaomase

piirkondliku kalandusorganisatsiooni või -korralduse pädevust. Selle sätte

rakendamiseks liidu õiguses tuleb ette näha, et sellised tegevused ja kulud ei ole

EMKVFi raames rahastamiskõlblikud. Selleks tuleks lisada uus artikkel 13a, et

täiendada määruse (EL) 2021/1139 artikli 13 kohast rahastamiskõlbmatute tegevuste

ja kulude loetelu.

(19) Tagamaks kooskõla lepingust tulenevate kohustustega, tuleks lepingu rakendussätteid

kohaldada alates käesoleva muutmismääruse jõustumise kuupäevast kuni lepingu

lõpetamise kuupäevani, nagu see on avaldatud Euroopa Liidu Teatajas. Selle aja

jooksul peaksid lepingule mittevastavad toetusetaotlused olema vastuvõetamatud ning

lepingule mittevastavad tegevused ja kulud peaksid olema rahastamiskõlbmatud.

(20) Lepingu artikli 3 lõike 2 kohaste kinnitavate otsuste kohaselt tehtud järeldused

ebaseadusliku, teatamata ja reguleerimata kalapüügi kohta ei tohiks piirata nõukogu

Taotluste vastuvõetavus kinnitava otsuse korral

1. Ilma et see piiraks artikli 11 kohaldamist, on käitaja esitatud toetustaotlus vastuvõetamatu

või muutub vastuvõetamatuks, kui rannikuriik või piirkondlik kalandusorganisatsioon või -

korraldus teavitab lipuliikmesriiki käitajat või käitaja poolt käitatavat laeva käsitlevast

kinnitavast otsusest.

2. Kui rannikuriik teatab kinnitavast otsusest, on käitaja esitatud toetustaotlus vastuvõetamatu,

kui kinnitav otsus põhineb asjakohasel faktilisel teabel ning rannikuriik on lipuliikmesriigile

ja subsideerivale liikmesriigile, kui see on teada, esitanud järgmise teabe:

(a) õigeaegne teade, mis on edastatud asjakohaste kanalite kaudu. Teade peab

sisaldama viiteid kohaldatavatele õigus- ja haldusnormidele või muud

asjakohast teavet ja üksikasju võetud meetmete kohta, sealhulgas järgmist:

i) teave laeva või käitaja ajutise kinnipidamise kohta ebaseadusliku,

teatamata ja reguleerimata kalapüügiga tegelemise eest kuni edasise

uurimiseni või

ii) teave rannikuriigi algatatud ebaseadusliku, teatamata ja reguleerimata

(b) teave võimaluse kohta vahetada asjakohast teavet rannikuriigi poolt kindlaks

määratud viisil ja ajavahemikul, enne lõpliku kinnitava otsuse tegemist, et seda

teavet saaks lõplikus kinnitavas otsuses arvesse võtta.

Rannikuriik teavitab lipuliikmesriiki lõplikust kinnitavast otsusest ja kehtestatud

sanktsioonidest, sealhulgas, kui see on asjakohane, nende kestusest.

3. Kui konkreetse laeva kohta on teatatud kinnitavast otsusest, on selle laeva käitaja esitatud

taotlus vastuvõetamatu üksnes seoses selle toetusega, mis on otseselt seotud kõnealuse laeva

või selle tegevusega.

määruse (EL) 2021/1060 artiklile 103 käitajalt tagasi kogu toetus, mis on EMKVFist seoses

kõnealuses kinnitavas otsuses osutatud laeva ja tegevusega juba makstud.

5. Taotlused on lõigete 2–4 kohaselt vastuvõetamatud ajavahemiku jooksul, mis vastab

järgmistest ajavahemikest pikemale:

(a) kinnitava otsuse teinud rannikuriigi riigisisestes õigusnormides ette nähtud

sanktsiooni kestus või

(b) ajavahemik, mille jooksul laev või käitaja on piirkondliku

kalandusorganisatsiooni või -korralduse nimekirjas.

6. Liikmesriigid võivad kooskõlas riigisiseste õigusnormidega kohaldada vastuvõetamatuse

ajavahemikku, mis on lõike 5 kohaselt kehtestatud ajavahemikust pikem, võttes arvesse laeva

või käitaja poolt toime pandud ebaseaduslikku, teatamata ja reguleerimata kalapüügi või

sellist kalapüüki toetava kalapüügiga seotud tegevuse laadi, raskusastet ja korduvust.

7. Kui lipuliikmesriigile teatatud kinnitavas otsuses ei täpsustata sanktsiooni kestust, määrab

lipuliikmesriik kindlaks vastuvõetamatuse ajavahemiku, võttes arvesse ebaseadusliku,

teatamata ja reguleerimata kalapüügi ning sellist kalapüüki toetava kalapüügiga seotud

tegevuse laadi, raskusastet ja kordumist.

8. Kui sama ebaseaduslik, teatamata ja reguleerimata kalapüük või sellist kalapüüki toetav

kalapüügiga seotud tegevus toob kaasa vastuvõetamatuse nii artikli 11 lõike 1 kui ka artikli

11a alusel, ei tohi kogu vastuvõetamatuse ajavahemik olla pikem kui pikim vastuvõetamatuse

ajavahemik, mis tuleneb kas artiklist 11 või käesoleva artikli lõigetest 5, 6 ja 7.

9. Kui lipuliikmesriik saab ühe oma laeva või käitaja kohta kinnitava otsuse, teavitab ta sellest

komisjoni elektrooniliselt kümne tööpäeva jooksul alates kinnitava otsuse saamisest, märkides

ära asjaomase käitaja ja laeva ning vajaduse korral sanktsiooni kestuse. Komisjon teeb selle

teabe kättesaadavaks kõigile teistele liikmesriikidele, avaldades selle oma veebisaidil piiratud

juurdepääsuga osas.“

1. ETTEPANEKU/ALGATUSE RAAMISTIK

1.1. Ettepaneku/algatuse nimetus

Ettepanek: Euroopa Parlamendi ja nõukogu määrus, millega muudetakse määrust

(EL) 2021/1139 seoses WTO kalandustoetuste lepingu lihtsustamise ja ülevõtmisega

1.2. Asjaomased poliitikavaldkonnad

Ettepanek käsitleb programmi teemavaldkonda 8 („Põllumajandus- ja

merenduspoliitika“), mis kuulub mitmeaastase finantsraamistiku (2021–2027)

rubriiki 3 („Loodusvarad ja keskkond“). Ettepanek piirdub määruse (EL) 2021/1139

sihipäraste muudatustega ning on kooskõlas määrusega (EL) nr 1380/2013 ühise

kalanduspoliitika kohta ja määrusega (EL) 2021/1060, millega kehtestatakse

ühissätted eelarve jagatud täitmise raames hallatavate liidu fondide kohta.

Lisaks on ettepanek seotud muude liidu poliitikatega, eelkõige keskkonna-, kliima-,

ühtekuuluvus-, põllumajandus-, sotsiaal-, turu- ja kaubanduspoliitikaga. Ettepanek on

kooskõlas Euroopa ookeanipaktis esitatud algatustega ning aitab saavutada ÜRO

kestliku arengu 14. eesmärki (kaitsta ja säästvalt kasutada ookeane, meresid ja

mereressursse), millele EL on pühendunud.

1.3. Eesmärgid

1.3.1. Üldeesmärgid

Käesoleva ettepaneku eesmärk on muuta EMKVFi määrust, et muuta EMKVF

liikmesriikide ja toetusesaajate jaoks kättesaadavamaks ja lihtsamini rakendatavaks.

Ettepanek sisaldab ka vajalikke muudatusi, et tagada Maailma

Kaubandusorganisatsiooni (WTO) kalandustoetuste lepingu täielik rakendamine ELi

õiguses.

1.3.2. Erieesmärgid

Ettepanekuga kehtestatakse uued mõisted, et tagada suurem õiguskindlus,

muudetakse teatavad mootorite asendamise või moderniseerimise tingimused

paindlikumaks, kehtestatakse kaks uut kava ajutise peatamise ja väikesemahulise

kalapüügi jaoks, suurendatakse abi osakaalu põlvkonnavahetuse toetamiseks ja

leevendatakse teatavaid eelarveeraldiste piiranguid. Ettepanekuga võetakse

kõnealusesse õiguslikku alusesse üle ka kalandustoetuste leping.

1.3.3. Oodatavad tulemused ja mõju

Märkige, milline peaks olema ettepaneku/algatuse oodatav mõju toetusesaajatele/sihtrühmale.

Ettepanekuga loodetakse:

tagada suurem õiguskindlus ja hõlbustada uute tehnoloogiate katsetamist, võttes

kasutusele uued määratlused mõistete „energiasüsteemi ümberkujundamine“,

„katseprojektid“ ja „prototüüplaev“ (mida ei tohiks käsitada tavaliste kalalaevadena)

kohta;

kiirendada ELi kalalaevastiku energiasüsteemi ümberkujundamist, muutes mootorite

asendamise ja ajakohastamise eeskirjad paindlikumaks, lihtsustades

heakskiitmisprotsessi ja heite vähendamise arvutamise metoodikat;

ET 4 ET

avaldada positiivset mõju põlvkondade vahetusele, suurendades noortele kaluritele

antava abi osatähtsust ning kõrvaldades tõkked, et toetada ettevõtete omandiõiguse

üleminekut;

kehtestada uus kava püügitegevuse ajutiseks peatamiseks, et leevendada

püügivõimaluste märkimisväärse ja ootamatu vähendamise sotsiaal-majanduslikku

mõju kaluritele;

võimaldada liikmesriikidele suuremat eelarvepaindlikkust, tõstes laevastikuga seotud

meetmete ja püügitegevuse püsiva lõpetamise ülemmäära 15 %-lt 30 %-le iga

liikmesriigi eraldisest;

tagada täielik vastavus kalandustoetuste lepingule, muutes kõik käitajad või laevad,

kes tegelevad ebaseadusliku, teatamata ja reguleerimata kalapüügiga või avamerel

toimuva tegevusega, mis ei kuulu piirkondlike kalandusorganisatsioonide pädevusse,

EMKVFi toetuse saamise tingimustele mittevastavaks.

1.3.4. Tulemusnäitajad

Märkige, milliste näitajate abil jälgitakse edusamme ja saavutusi.

Kohaldatakse määrustes (EL) 2021/1139 ja (EL) 2021/1060 sätestatud rakendamis-,

järelevalve-, hindamis- ja aruandlusnõudeid.

1.4. Ettepanek/algatus käsitleb

uut meedet

uut meedet, mis tuleneb katseprojektist / ettevalmistavast meetmest12

☒olemasoleva meetme pikendamist

ühe või mitme meetme ümbersuunamist teise või uude meetmesse või ühendamist

teise või uue meetmega

3.2.5. Hinnanguline mõju digitehnoloogiaga seotud investeeringutele – ülevaade

Kohustuslik: järgmises tabelis tuleks esitada parim hinnang ettepanekust/algatusest

tulenevate digitehnoloogiaga seotud investeeringute kohta.

Erandkorras, kui see on vajalik ettepaneku/algatuse rakendamiseks, tuleks rubriigi 7

assigneeringud esitada selleks ettenähtud eelarvereal.

Rubriikide 1–6 assigneeringuid tuleks kajastada „tegevusvaldkonna IT-kuludena, mis

on eraldatud rakenduskavadele“. Nende kulud kuuluvad tegevuseelarvesse, mida

kasutatakse otseselt algatuse rakendamisega seotud IT-platvormide/vahendite

taaskasutamiseks/ostmiseks/arendamiseks ja nendega seotud investeeringuteks (nt

litsentsid, uuringud, andmete säilitamine jne). Selles tabelis esitatud teave peaks

olema kooskõlas 4. jaos „Digimõõde“ esitatud üksikasjadega.

4. DIGIMÕÕDE

4.1. Diginõuded

Ettepanek ei sisalda diginõudeid, kuna see ei too kaasa muudatusi aruandluskohustustes ega

uusi andmevoogudega seotud nõudeid. Kuigi liikmesriigid kasutavad EMKVFi

rakendamiseks digitehnoloogiat, ei ole kavandatud muudatused nende digitehnoloogiatega

seotud.

Ainus oluline digitaalne muudatus on Euroopa Komisjoni sisese haldus- ja juhtimispoole

väike kohandus Euroopa Liidu fondide haldamise süsteemis (SFC-süsteem).

SFC2021 on elektrooniline andmevahetussüsteem kõigi liikmesriikide ja komisjoni vahel

ühissätete määruse fondi asjus, nagu on sätestatud Euroopa Parlamendi ja nõukogu

24. juuni 2021. aasta määruse (EL) 2021/1060 (millega kehtestatakse ühissätted Euroopa

Regionaalarengu Fondi, Euroopa Sotsiaalfond+, Ühtekuuluvusfondi, Õiglase Ülemineku

Fondi ja Euroopa Merendus-, Kalandus- ja Vesiviljelusfondi kohta ning nende ja

Varjupaiga-, Rände- ja Integratsioonifondi, Sisejulgeolekufondi ning piirihalduse ja

viisapoliitika rahastu suhtes kohaldatavad finantsreeglid) artikli 69 lõikes 9. See

elektrooniline süsteem, mida kasutatakse ametliku teabe vahetamiseks korraldusasutuste ja

Euroopa Komisjoni vahel, vajab sisemiste parameetrite mõningast kohandamist, kuna

tegevused võivad saavutada kõrgemad rahalised ülemmäärad. Korraldusasutuste

rahastamiskavasid kohandatakse programmi muutmise kaudu, ilma et muudetaks

rahaeraldiste kogusummat. Esitamis-, töövoo- ja valideerimisprotsesse siiski ei muudeta.

Liikmesriikide korraldusasutusi kui SFC2021 lõppkasutajaid teavitatakse muudatusest, kuid

neilt ei eeldata oma süsteemide või menetluste kohandamist, kuna muudatus piirdub

taustsüsteemi parameetrite piirväärtustega.

Tehniline kohandus peaks kavakohaselt jõustuma enne muudetud EMKVFi määruse

jõustumist või sellega samal ajal, et korraldusasutused saaksid esitada ja hallata toiminguid

kõrgemate ülemmäärade piires ilma katkestusteta.

4.2. Andmed

Ei kohaldata. Ettepanekuga ei kehtestata eraldi poliitilise nõudena uusi andmete kogumise,

jagamise või töötlemise kohustusi. Digielement on SFC2021ga seotud väike sisemine

kohandus, millega ei kehtestata sidusrühmadele ega liikmesriikidele uusi andmekohustusi.

Seetõttu puudub suuniste alusel hinnatav sisuline digi- või andmenõuete mõju.

4.3. Digilahendused

4.4. Koostalitlusvõime hindamine

Ei kohaldata, kuna ettepanekuga ei nähta ette konkreetsete digilahenduste kasutamist ega

kehtestata vaikimisi digitaalseid vahendeid. Ainus tuvastatud süsteemipõhine tagajärg on

SFC-süsteemi piiratud kohandamine taustatoimingute tasandil.

Ei kohaldata. Ettepanekuga ei looda ega muudeta piiriüleseid digitaalseid avalikke

teenuseid ega kehtestata koostalitlusvõime kohustusi riiklike või ELi digisüsteemide vahel.

ET 26 ET

4.5. Digimõõtme rakendamist toetavad meetmed

Ei kohaldata. Ettepanek ei sisalda sihtotstarbelisi meetmeid digitaalse rakendamise kui

sellise korraldamiseks või toetamiseks.
