Another significant share contributes to proper implementation of the CFP, particularly for data collection and science-based needs, and ...

Commercial inland fisheries are small-scale, labour intensive, traditional fisheries mostly using passive gear. They produce high value products of local importance.

Economic performance indicators for the EU fishing fleet are provided by Member State and main fishing technology for the year 2011. Additionally, estimates on the contribution of the fish catching sector to the national GDP and a quantification of the amount of direct ...

80% of the EU fishing fleet is today considered as 'small-scale and coastal fisheries’ (SSCF). In the context of the upcoming Common fisheries policy reform, the European Commission launched a debate on the creation of a specific management regime for SSCF, focusing on social objectives.
