EU aquaculture priorities
Aquaculture is a key component of both the Common Fisheries Policy and the Blue Growth agenda. In consultation with stakeholders, the Commission has identified the main priorities to facilitate its sustainable development:
Simplifyadministrative
procedures
Ensure access to space through
coordinated spatial planning
Enhance thecompetitiveness of
EU aquaculture
Promote a level playing field for EU
operators
In their multiannual plans, Member States have defined measures to address these issues at national and regional scales.
Funding to support the sustainable development of aquaculture is availablethrough the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF).
Simplification ofadministrative procedures
Aspects covered by aquaculturelicencing procedures
Typical features
Planned actions by Member States
▶ Planning/building permission▶ Land/sea use (ownership, lease, consent)▶ Environmental Impact Assessment ▶ Animal Health▶ Food safety, health and hygiene
▶ Water use▶ Discharge into water▶ Health & safety▶ Farming of alien species
Applicationfees
are low, but other costs such as an Environmental Impact Assessment when
required must also be considered
Application processing time
and uncertainties are seen as the main problem
Reported application success rate
is more than 90% in most Member States
Licence duration is typically 10 years but can vary between 5 and
30 years
Improve proceduresReview and streamlining, set up of a one-stop-shop,
online application, longer licence duration
Support applicantsGuidance for applicants, platforms for dialogue with
public administrations, online portals
