Criteria have been defined for the two new European calls for proposals of the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund 2021-2027 (EMFF), with available resources exceeding EUR 2.6 million. These funds aim to promote the sustainable management of aquatic resources and to support innovative projects in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors.
The Giunta recently approved the key elements of the calls, which are scheduled to open in October, to facilitate the collection of applications for aid. The main beneficiaries are small and medium-sized enterprises operating in the production, processing and marketing of fish products.
Among the initiatives supported, one of the priorities is to create favourable conditions to make the fisheries and aquaculture sectors more competitive and economically attractive.
