💶 Analysis of the proposed MFF shows partial and uneven integration of the Ocean Pact’s priorities. Core objectives are relatively well reflected across🔑instruments, whereas areas like ocean diplomacy, - specific research and maritime security more limited or indirect support.

🌊The European Ocean Pact sets out an integrated vision structured around 6 priorities: 👉 restoring ocean health 👉 advancing a sustainable blue economy 👉 supporting coastal communities 👉 strengthening R&I 👉 enhancing maritime security 👉 reinforcing global ocean governance

The next MFF will no longer contain a separate fund to support the CFP. The EC aims to reduce fragmentation, better align funding with national and regional priorities and enable faster budget allocation in response to crises and exceptional events. More: wp.me/p9fhrE-smi

🐟EU capture fisheries face higher production costs and lower productivity compared to key non-EU competitors. Wages account for about 33% of revenues where fuel costs are about 21%. Read more: bit.ly/45hMejO @EP_fisheries #Research4Committees

🦐 Crustaceans (shrimp) – Highly import-dependent (self-sufficiency circa 12%), with little scope for EU production expansion. Read more: bit.ly/45hMejO @EP_fisheries #Research4Committees

🦪Bivalves (mussels, oysters) – Traditionally strong, but climate-induced losses and competition from Chile are eroding market share. Read more: bit.ly/45hMejO @EP_fisheries #Research4Committees

🐟 Small pelagics – Once self-sufficient but declining; exports of blue whiting and imports of sardine and anchovy distort balances. Read more: bit.ly/45hMejO @EP_fisheries #Research4Committees

🐟 Salmonids – almost all salmon consumed is imported (mainly from Norway and Chile); trout remains mostly EU-produced. Read more: bit.ly/45hMejO @EP_fisheries #Research4Committees
