|---|---|
| (1a) The conservation of marine biological resources under the common fisheries policy is the only aspect of fisheries policy constituting an exclusive competence of the Union pursuant to Article 3(1), point (d), of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. All other aspects of fisheries, maritime and aquaculture policy, including the programming, allocation, management and implementation of Union support, fall within shared competence pursuant to Article 4(2), point (d), TFEU and are therefore subject to the principle of subsidiarity. The integration of that support into the National and Regional Partnership Fund and its single rulebook shall not result in a centralisation of decision-making at Union level or in a diminished role for the Member States and their regional and local authorities. Due account should be taken of the reasoned opinions submitted under Protocol No 2 by the national parliaments which considered that the proposal does not comply with the principle of subsidiarity. |

| (3a) Fisheries are vital to the livelihoods and cultural heritage of many coastal communities in the Union, in particular where small-scale coastal fishing plays an important role. With the average age in many fishing communities exceeding 50, generational renewal and diversification of activities remain significant challenges. In particular, the creation and development of new economic activities in the fisheries sector by young fishers is financially challenging and should therefore be taken into account in the allocation and targeting of funds under this Regulation. Such development is essential for the competitiveness of the fisheries sector in the Union. Consequently, support for young fishers starting up fishing activities should be made available in order to facilitate their establishment and promote generational renewal. |

| (8a) Fisheries and aquaculture contribute to food security and nutrition. However, in recent years, the level of self-sufficiency has continued to decline and the Union currently imports around 70 % of its supply of fishery products and is therefore highly dependent on third countries. A major challenge is to encourage the consumption of fish protein produced in the Union with high quality standards and available for consumers at affordable prices. Therefore, it should be possible to support the promotion and the sustainable development of aquaculture, including freshwater aquaculture, for the farming of aquatic animals and plants for the production of food and other raw material. |

| (8b) Generational renewal is essential to ensure the long-term sustainability, resilience and competitiveness of the fisheries sector and coastal communities, in view of the ageing structure of the fishing workforce in many Member States. The EMFAF should therefore support operations facilitating the entry and establishment of young fishers in the profession, including through improved access to vessels, fishing opportunities, financial instruments, and tailored training. Such support should also contribute to improving income stability, working and living conditions, safety, and skills development, including in areas such as sustainability, low-impact fishing practices, digitalisation and business management, as well as to enhancing the attractiveness of the fisheries profession. In this context, communication and awareness-raising actions may also play a role in encouraging generational renewal.

| 1.Member States may grant crisis payments to fishers and aquaculture producers who are affected by exceptional emergency situations such as natural disasters, adverse climatic events, catastrophes or other crisis situations.Such payments shall be intended to ensure the continuity of fisheries or aquaculture or related activities and shall be subject to the conditions laid down in this Article and specified in more detail by the Member States. | |
| 2.Aid granted under this Article shall be subject to formal recognition by the competent authority of a Member State of the occurrence of an exceptional emergency situation such as a natural disaster, an adverse climatic event, a catastrophe or another crisis situation, as defined by that Member State, and that the occurrence of that situation has caused a significant disruption in the access to, and the supply of and demand for, fishery and aquaculture products that the operators referred to in paragraph 1 depend on, or a significant increase in their operating expenditure resulting from the occurrence of the situation.In particular, the situations referred to in the first subparagraph shall include the following: | |
| (a) temporary cessation of activities pursuant to measures referred to in Article 7(1), points (a), (b), (c), (i) and (j) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, or equivalent applicable conservation measures adopted by regional fisheries management organisations; | |
| (b) temporary cessation of activities pursuant to Articles 12 and 13 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013; | |
| (c) temporary cessation of activities as a result of the non-compliance of a third country or territory with its international obligations or of the interruption of the application of an international agreement; | |
| (d) temporary cessation of activities as a result of invasive species. | |
| (e) cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) predation of extensive aquaculture in the event that this causes the survival rate of juvenile fish and shellfish to drop below 60 %. | |
| 2. (a) The emergency measures explicitly include income support for sectoral workers in case of a temporary cessation of activities that is either beyond the control of the enterprise and the fishers on board vessels or the result of exceptional crisis situations, ensuring that periods of forced inactivity are covered and safeguarding jobs. | |
| 3.Operators shall be considered to depend on the fishery and aquaculture products when the products or activities affected by the situation have accounted for at least 30% of their average annual commercial activities over the preceding three-year period, or of a three-year average based on the preceding five-year period, excluding the highest and lowest values. | |
| 4.Member States shall set the aid rates applicable to compensate for loss of production, income foregone, or additional costs incurred.Where appropriate, those rates shall be higher for fishers and aquaculture producers who also carry out interventions or other preventive measures at the level of their undertaking to reduce the risks related to production and income for which the aid is granted.Indices may be used to calculate the loss of production. | |
| 5. When granting aid under this Article, Member States shall ensure that overcompensation resulting from the combination of this support with other national or Union aid instruments or private insurance schemes is avoided, and that the compensation is limited only to the duration of the situation. |

| (1) 'small-scale coastal fishing'means fishing activities carried out by: | |
| (a) fishing vessels meeting at least three of the following criteria: | |
| (i) their overall length does not exceed 12 metres; | |
| (ii) they operate exclusively in the territorial waters of the flag State; | |
| (iii) their trips last less than 24 hours, from the time of departure from port to the time of return to port; | |
| (iv) their crew consists of no more than four persons; | |
| (v) they use selective fishing gear with low environmental impact; | |
| (b) fishers on foot, including shellfish gatherers; | |
| (2) 'fisher'means any natural person engaging in commercial fishing activities, as recognised by the Member State concerned including fishers on foot, such as shellfish gatherers; | |
| (3) ’fishing’ meansany natural person engaging in commercial fishing activities, as recognised by the Member State; | |
| (4) ‘sustainable blue economy’means all sectoral and cross-sectoral economic activities throughout the internal market relating to ocean, seas, coasts and inland waters, covering the Union’s insular and outermost regions and landlocked countries, including emerging sectors and non-market goods and services, which ensure environmental, social and economic sustainability in the long term and which are consistent with the SDGs, and in particular SDG 14, and with Union environmental legislation; | |
| (5) 'maritime policy'means Union policy that aims to foster integrated and coherent decision making to maximise the sustainable development, economic growth and social cohesion of the Union, particularly of the coastal and insular areas and of the outermost regions, and of the sustainable blue economy sectors, through coherent maritime-related policies and relevant international cooperation; | |
| (6) ‘maritime security and surveillance’means activities carried out in order to understand, prevent wherever applicable and manage in a comprehensive way all the events and actions related to the maritime domain which would impact the areas of maritime safety and security, law enforcement, defence, border control, protection of the marine environment, fisheries control, trade and economic interest of the Union; | |
| (7) ‘European marine observation and data network’ or ‘EMODnet’means a partnership assembling marine data and metadata in order to make those fragmented resources more available and usable by public and private users by offering quality-assured, interoperable and harmonised marine data; | |
| (8) ‘maritime spatial planning’ means a process by which the relevant Member State’s authorities analyse and organise human activities in marine areas to achieve ecological, economic and social objectives; | |
| (9) ‘ocean observation’means the foundation of all marine knowledge.It forms the basis of understanding of marine ecosystems and factors that influence them.It provides critical data for weather forecasting, climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies, extreme events monitoring, civil security – sea condition, floods-, maritime shipping, offshore energy, fisheries and aquaculture and increasingly security and defence.It creates the foundation for evidence-based decision-making and it provides crucial information on how human activities influence ocean health and what services the ocean provides to societies. | |
| (10) 'extensive aquaculture' means a system for rearing aquatic organisms characterised by low stocking density and the minimal use or absence of artificial feeds, which predominantly employs the natural ecosystem resources – including phytoplankton, zooplankton and nutrients present in the environment – to foster the growth of the organisms being farmed; this system includes, among other things, open-water shellfish farming, traditional lagoon farming, lagoon fish farming, and other forms of aquaculture integrated into the natural ecosystem, conducted in a manner that preserves or improves the ecological status of the aquatic environment and contributes to the provision of ecosystem services, including carbon sequestration, carbon farming, and the maintenance of biodiversity. |

It is not understood why it should be only for aquaculture. this regulation is about other activities as well, and there could theoretically be other offences which could be linked to an activity that is supported under the fund, e.g. related to ship dismantling and the Environmental Crimes Directive recognizes such environmental crimes. also, the Policy field in the Annex I to the Performance regulation is titled ''Fisheries, aquaculture and ocean'', and comprises several intervention fields, none of which is titled '´aquaculture''.

Those payments shall aim at ensuring continuity of the activity of those operators and shall be subject to the conditions set out in this Article and as further specified by the Member States. | |
| 2. Support under this Article shall be subject to the formal recognition by the competent authority of the Member State that a natural disaster, adverse climatic event or catastrophic event, as defined by the Member State, has occurred and that these events, have directly caused a damage resulting in the reduction of at least 30 % of the average annual production of the operator in the preceding three-year period or a three-year average based on the preceding five-year period, excluding the highest and the lowest entry. | |
| 3. The losses shall be calculated either at the level of fishing vessel or aquaculture operational site, at the level of the activity in the sector concerned or in relation to the specific area concerned. | |
| 4. Member States shall establish the applicable support rates for compensating the loss of production. Those rates shall be higher for operators who also implement interventions, or other preventive actions at operational unit level, to reduce the level of production and income risks for which support is granted.

Union funding under shared management may be made conditional only upon the fulfilment of steps and objectives linked to specific reforms at national level, on condition that it is demonstrated that such reforms are proportionate, well-calibrated, have a direct and demonstrable link to the objectives of the relevant Union policies, and are established at the appropriate level of competence. It should also be ensured that eligibility decisions concerning fisheries and aquaculture operators, in particular micro and small enterprises as defined in Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC, are communicated within 60 working days following the submission of a complete application. | |

National reforms may only impose conditions on sub-national investments where such reforms have a direct local impact that contributes to the objectives of cohesion policy or generates clear cross-border benefits for the Union as a whole. | |
| To determine the direct local impact of these reforms, regional and local authorities shall assess whether the reforms have such an impact. They may also agree that sub-national reforms or actions impose conditions relating to specific steps or objectives, provided that such agreement is adopted in accordance with the institutional framework and multi-level governance rules of each Member State. |

| Article 3c | |
| Establishing the 'POSEI fisheries' programme, in conjunction with the competent national and regional authorities, with the aim of safeguarding the supply to the outermost regions of essential fishery and aquaculture products intended for human consumption or for processing, and of the production means needed for fishing activities, by reducing the additional costs arising from the regions' remote position without harming local production; maintaining and developing, in a sustainable manner, the fisheries and aquaculture value chain as a whole, including the production, processing and marketing of local products; contributing, where applicable, to the financing of the renewal of those regions' fishing fleets; and supporting fishers’ income by increasing the sector’s resilience and competitiveness. The minimum amount allocated to these measures shall be EUR 630 000 000 and must be additional to the support available under the EMFAF, without limiting or hindering the outermost regions’ access to the instruments and funding provided for in that fund. | |
| Member States may grant additional financing for the implementation of the 'POSEI fisheries' programmes. This support may take the form of operating aid for the production, processing and marketing of fishery and aquaculture products, with a view to alleviating the specific constraints these regions face as a result of their isolation, insularity and remote position. In such cases, the Member States shall notify the Commission of the aid and the Commission may approve it in accordance with this regulation as part of the 'POSEI fisheries' programme. Aid thus notified shall be regarded as notified within the meaning of the first sentence of Article 108(3) TFEU. |
