Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(5) Small-scale coastal fishing is carried out by marine and inland fishing vessels of an overall length of less than 12 metres and not using towed fishing gear, and by fishers on foot, including shellfish gatherers. That sector represents nearly 75 % of all fishing vessels registered in the Union and nearly half of all employment in the fisheries sector and is an important part of the economic fabric of coastal areas. Operators from small-scale coastal fisheries are particularly dependent on healthy fish stocks for their main source of income. Therefore, the particular needs of small-scale coastal fishing, and the contribution to environmental, economic and social sustainability of fishing operations, as defined in the CFP Regulation 1380/2013 should be addressed in the National and Regional Partnership (NRP) Plans, as set out in Article 22 of [NRP Regulation].(5) Small-scale coastal fishing represents nearly 75 % of all fishing vessels registered in the Union and nearly half of all employment in the fisheries sector and is an important part of the economic fabric of coastal areas.

Article 3b
Conditionality of reforms and scope of sectoral actions
The requirements and recommendations specific to each sectoral policy shall apply only to the measures included in the chapter corresponding to that policy. Under no circumstances may they be extended to measures in other areas. Union funding under shared management may only be made conditional upon the fulfilment of milestones and targets linked to specific reforms at national level where 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.
Regional and local authorities, as well as other beneficiaries, shall not be penalised, nor shall their funding be suspended or reduced, nor shall they be held responsible for the failure to implement reforms that fall exclusively within the national level and are outside their sphere of competence or responsibility. 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.
When determining this direct local impact, regional and local authorities shall assess whether such reforms have a direct local impact. Furthermore, regional and local authorities may agree that sub-national reforms or actions shall impose conditions on specific milestones and targets, provided that such an agreement is adopted in accordance with the institutional framework and rules on multi-level governance of each Member State.

(4) the percentage of the national contribution corresponding to the interventions referred to in Article 3d of this Regulation shall not be less than 30 %, with the exception of compensation for additional costs in the outermost regions, in that case there will not be a national contribution;
(5) Member States may allow private co-financing of interventions supported under the plan, provided that such contributions are mobilised in a manner consistent with the territorial development objectives of the plan, ensuring that private investment contributes to long-term regional development, strengthens local economic ecosystems and supports cohesion objectives rather than short-term commercial interests. Private contributions shall be transparent, traceable and consistent with State aid rules and public interest criteria;
(6) Member States shall also consider the European Competitiveness Fund to be used for long-term industrial objectives linked to infrastructures or the modernisation or decarbonisation of the fishing fleet;
(7) the allocations referred to in this Article shall constitute minimum national financial envelopes and shall not be reduced, reallocated or transferred to other policy areas within the NRP Plan.

Article 3e
POSEI Fisheries programme for the outermost regions
1. Member States shall adopt specific measures in the field of fisheries and aquaculture — a ‘POSEI Fisheries Programme’ — in order to address the difficulties resulting from the outermost nature of those regions, in particular the remoteness, insularity, small size, difficult topography and climate, as well as the economic dependence on a limited number of products, in the regions of the Union referred to in Article 349 TFEU. These measures shall aim to:
(a) ensure the supply to the outermost regions of essential fishery and aquaculture products intended for human consumption or processing, as well as of inputs necessary for fishing activities, by reducing the additional costs associated with their outermost situation, without affecting local production or its development;
(b) sustainably maintain and develop the fisheries and aquaculture supply chain, including the production, processing and marketing of local products;
(c) contribute, where appropriate, to the financing of the renewal of fishing fleets in those regions.
2. The POSEI Fisheries programme shall include:
(a) a timetable for implementation and an indicative annual financial table summarising the resources to be mobilised;
(b) a justification of the compatibility and coherence of the different measures of the programme, as well as the quantitative criteria and indicators used for monitoring and evaluation;
(c) provisions ensuring effective implementation;
(d) the designation of the competent authorities and bodies responsible for the implementation of the Programme, and the designation, at the appropriate levels, of the associated authorities or bodies and socio-economic partners, as well as the results of the consultations carried out. The measures proposed by the Member States in their POSEI Fisheries programme shall be approved by the Commission before they are implemented.
3. The minimum amount allocated to these measures shall be EUR 362 000 000.
4. Member States may grant additional funding for the implementation of the POSEI Fisheries programmes. Such aid may take the form of operating aid in the production, processing and marketing of fishery and aquaculture products, in order to alleviate the specific constraints of those regions linked to their isolation, insularity or remoteness. In that case, Member States shall notify the State aid to the Commission, which may approve it under this Regulation under each POSEI fisheries programme. The State aid thus notified shall be deemed to have been notified within the meaning of the first sentence of Article 108(3) TFEU.

Article 3f
Crisis payments to fishers and aquaculture producers in exceptional situations
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 as 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; and
(d) temporary cessation of activities as a result of invasive species.
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.

Explanatory statement 7 blocks

The Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) provides a crucial opportunity to ensure that the Union’s fisheries and aquaculture sectors remain resilient, competitive, and sustainable, while continuing to support the livelihoods of coastal communities and outermost regions that depend heavily on these activities. In this context, the rapporteur considers the proposed sectoral regulation on fisheries as key to reflect the priorities of Fisheries and Aquaculture. The Commission proposal is not reflecting the ambition that seeks to strengthen those sectors and need to better reflect competitiveness, sustainability, economic realities and long-term visions along environmental objectives.

A key priority of this report is to ensure simplification for Member States and stakeholders as well as coherence across Union instruments. The rapporteur therefore supports the targeted transfer and integration of relevant provisions from the NRP Regulation into this sectorial regulation, with the aim of simplifying the legal architecture and avoiding fragmentation. This approach will enhance clarity for Member States and stakeholders, reduce administrative burden, and ensure that funding mechanisms operate in a more streamlined and predictable manner.

At the same time, the rapporteur underlines the importance of granting sufficient flexibility to Member States in the implementation of the funds. Fisheries and aquaculture sectors vary significantly across the Union, and a one-size-fits-all approach would risk undermining effectiveness. Member States must therefore be empowered to tailor investments to their specific needs, while remaining fully accountable for ensuring that allocated resources are effectively directed toward fisheries and aquaculture objectives.

This flexibility must, however, be accompanied by clear safeguards. Union funding should remain firmly dedicated to supporting the sector, including through investments that promote generational renewal, modernisation of fleets, and the uptake of innovative solutions based on European technologies. Such investments are essential not only to improve safety, sustainability, and efficiency, but also to make the sector more attractive to younger generations and skilled professionals. In this regard, public support should act as a catalyst to leverage additional private and public investment, thereby multiplying its impact and fostering long-term growth.

The rapporteur also emphasises the broader territorial dimension of fisheries policy. Coastal communities and outermost regions are often structurally dependent on fisheries and aquaculture, and face particular socio-economic challenges. Ensuring continued, targeted support for these areas is essential to preserve jobs, maintain social cohesion, and prevent depopulation. The regulation should therefore explicitly recognise their specific needs and provide adequate tools to address them.

Finally, the rapporteur stresses the institutional dimension of the proposal. The European Parliament, as co-legislator, must fully exercise its prerogatives in shaping the legal framework governing Union funding. Any provisions that could create legal uncertainty, must be carefully scrutinised and, where necessary, revised. A clear, stable, and democratically accountable legal framework is indispensable to ensure the proper implementation of the policy and to maintain trust among stakeholders.

In conclusion, the rapporteur believes that the proposed regulation can play a decisive role in strengthening the fisheries and aquaculture sectors across the Union, provided that it ensures coherence, flexibility, targeted investment, and full respect for the institutional balance. These elements are essential to deliver a policy that is both effective and forward-looking.
