First reading of the European Parliament 2007

Title 11 — Fisheries and maritime affairs

Overall objectives

This policy area includes all the activities covered by the common fisheries policy (CFP) which comes under the exclusive competence of the Community. It concerns all fisheries activities as well as the processing and marketing of these products.

It also ensures that the relevant provisions of Community law are rightly applied in the fisheries sector.

The policy area covers five operational activities: specific measures in support of the CFP and maritime affairs (including conservation of fisheries resources, control and dialogue with the fisheries sector), relations and agreements with third countries and international organisations, common organisation of the fisheries market, fisheries research and structural measures for fisheries through the European Fisheries Fund (EFF).

Sixty per cent of appropriations is devoted to the EFF. However, the EFF operations are mainly implemented by the Member States as a part of shared management.
