Paragraph 79
79. Stresses the socioeconomic and ecological importance of the fisheries sector, the ‘blue economy’ and their contribution to the food autonomy of the EU; points out that the common fisheries policy is an exclusive EU competence; emphasises, in this respect, the need to keep a specific, substantial, independent and accessible fisheries fund to implement this policy; calls for the reestablishment of the Program of Options Specifically relating to Remoteness and Insularity in Fisheries (POSEI Fisheries), as this is a very important program for the European Outermost Regions; calls, at least, for the level of financial appropriations dedicated to the fisheries sector under the current MFF to be maintained and, if new needs arise, to increase the financial appropriations for maritime affairs; warns about the possible negative impacts of a hard Brexit on this sector; notes that other financial instruments, in addition to non- repayable aid, could provide complementary financing possibilities;
