EU Maritime & Fish

Today, we deliver on an important milestone of the #EUOceanPact: the launch of the European Ocean Board. Its 28 members, representing all sectors, will support the Commission in implementing the Pact. I look forward to working with you on this crucial endeavour!

Pleased to meet 🇳🇱 @minlvvn Minister @stasLVVN and discuss our shared priorities in fisheries, and the broader ocean and food security agenda. Energy transition, innovation and simplification are top priorities on the path to a sustainable and competitive sector.

Something new is coming for Marine Spatial Planning practitioners… 🌍 🚀A new online course on Ocean Observation & Data Management for MSP is launching soon! 🌊Stay tuned for more details and get ready to level up your data skills for smarter #MSP.

Today I received two symbolic and substantive petitions on the future of the #CFP. Among fears of opening a Pandora’s box and hopes for targeted policy changes, lies one shared responsibility: to get this right. It is the duty of all decision makers to ensure a policy that is both sustainable and works for those who depend on it. The #CFP evaluation which we aim to deliver in the coming weeks, will be my compass going forward, enriched by the perspectives I have gathered in all my talks with stakeholders.

We must respond decisively to the impacts of the Middle East conflict on the fisheries and aquaculture sectors. I informed today’s #AGRIFISH Council that I intend to propose to the College of Commissioners the triggering of the mechanism provided under Article 26(2) of the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF). The objective is to enable EU Member States to promptly support the fishery and aquaculture sectors during these difficult times.
