5 Total production Total world production from fisheries and aquaculture continues to rise (1 %). The enlarged European Union (EU-27) is the world's third largest producer, accounting for around 4.4 % of this total. Total production in the European Union fisheries sector declined slightly from previous years, as it has for the past 20 years. Within the EU, the biggest producers in terms of volume are Spain and Denmark.

7 Total catches Although the European fleet operates worldwide, EU catches are taken primarily in the East Atlantic and Mediterranean. Herring, sprat and mackerel make up the greater part of them. The leading fishing countries are Denmark, Spain, the United Kingdom and France, which account for more than half the catches.

13 Landings These figures represent the value and weight of fisheries products landed in ports of EU Member States by all vessels, without distinction of origin. The 2006 average price of 1.50/kg for fisheries products in the European Union shows a small increase, reflecting a slight decline in landings and a slight increase in the value of the products landed.

14 Job Employment in the fisheries sector plays a significant role in coastal regions where employment alternatives are often scarce. The number of people employed in the fisheries sector is not limited to the number of fishermen at sea. The entire sector is concerned, including processing, marketing, distribution and aquaculture. On average, women constitute more than one quarter of those employed in the sector.

15 Fleet The main objective of the Common Fisheries Policy is to guarantee sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources. To that end, the management of fleet capacity is an essential tool. Under Community law, the total capacity of the fishing fleet cannot increase; if public financing is granted for decommissioning a fishing vessel, the corresponding capacity cannot be replaced the reduction in fleet capacity must be permanent. Over the past 15 years, the capacity of the EU-15 fishing fleet has decreased at a steady yearly rate of approximately 1.5 % in terms of tonnage, and 2 % in terms of power. Despite the enlargements of the EU in 2004 and 2007, the number of vessels in December 2007 was , i.e less than in Capacity of the EU fishing fleet by length class (on 1 December 2007) Length Number of vessels Tonnage in GT Engine power in kw >

On average, the GT tonnage of a vessel is greater than its tonnage measured in the various national units. The increase in power shown in 1998 is due to the inclusion in the Community Fishing Fleet register of the vessels registered in the French Outermost Regions. 13

20 Aquaculture EU aquaculture output is in the region of 1.2 million tonnes, while its value amounts to 2.8 billion. This represents approximately 18.4 % of the total volume of domestic fisheries production and 2 % of world aquaculture production, which continues to expand rapidly. Aquaculture offers attractive development opportunities in Europe, especially in regions affected by the decline of sea fishing.

26 Consumption Fisheries and aquaculture products play a significant role in human diet, both in Europe and worldwide, as a valuable source of protein rich healthy food. Global consumption of these products stands at 16.1 kg/head/year, or 15.5 % of total animal protein consumed. In the European Union, average consumption of fish is 21.4 kg/head/year. Consumption ranges from 3.9 kg/head/year in Romania to 56.9 kg/head/year in Portugal.

28 Community aid To achieve the objectives of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) the European Union provides financial support to the fishing industry. The European Fisheries Fund (EFF) covers the programming period It provides assistance in areas such as fleet restructuring, small-scale fisheries, fishing ports facilities, sustainable aquaculture, and the processing and marketing of fisheries and aquaculture products. The overall budget allocation for the EFF for the period is 4.3 billion.

The fund will both support the industry as it adapts its fleet to make it more competitive and promote measures to protect and enhance the environment. It will also help fisheries communities most affected by the resulting changes to diversify their economic base. Support will be reinforced for measures that will ensure that the industry will continue to have access to the skilled labour force it requires. The EFF will run for seven years, with a total budget of around 4.3 billion. Funding will be available for all sectors of the industry sea and inland fisheries, aquaculture businesses, producer organisations, and the processing and marketing sectors as well as for fisheries areas. It will be up to Member States to decide how they allocate funds between the different priorities set. The detailed rules for the implementation of the EFF are laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 498/2007. What are the main objectives of the EFF? The EFF aims mainly to grant financial support to the European fishing industry, during the period , with a view to help it adapt to the evolving needs. The Fund will particularly focus on: supporting the major objectives of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), in particular the sustainable exploitation of fisheries resources and achieving a stable balance between these resources and the capacity of the Community fishing fleet; strengthening the competitiveness and the viability of operators in the sector; promoting environmentally-friendly fishing and production methods; providing adequate support to people employed in the sector; fostering the sustainable development of fisheries areas; promoting the sustainable development of aquaculture. * The Convergence objective aims to help the least-developed countries and regions catch up more quickly with the EU average by improving conditions for growth and employment. The financing ceilings for the regions covered by this objective are higher than those for non-convergence regions. 27
