(18) Fisheries are vital to the livelihood and cultural heritage of many coastal communities in the Union, in particular where small-scale coastal fishing plays an important role. With the average age in many fishing communities being over 50, generational renewal and diversification of activities remain a challenge. It is therefore essential that the EMFF should provide support for the attractiveness of the fisheries sector by ensuring vocational training and access for young people to careers in fishing.

(19) The EMFF should aim to achieve the environmental, economic, social and employment objectives of the CFP, as defined in Article 2 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013. Such support should ensure that fishing activities are environmentally sustainable in the long-term and managed in a way that is consistent with the objectives of achieving economic, social and employment benefits, and of contributing to the availability of food supplies, and at the same time ensure fair labour conditions.

Recital 29
(29) The outermost regions, as outlined in the Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee, the Committee of the Regions and the European Investment Bank of 24 October 2017 entitled 'A stronger and renewed strategic partnership with the EU's outermost regions'10, face specific challenges linked to their remoteness, topography and climate as referred to in Article 349 of the Treaty and also have specific assets on which to develop a sustainable blue economy. Therefore, for each outermost region, an action plan for the development of sustainable blue economy sectors, including the sustainable exploitation of fisheries and aquaculture, should be attached to the programme of the concerned Member States and a financial allocation should be reserved to support the implementation of those action plans. It should also be possible for the EMFF to support a compensation of the additional costs the outermost regions face due to their locationremoteness and insularity. That support should be capped as a percentage of this overall financial allocatione lessons drawn from the 2014-2020 programming period call for a simplified implementation of the compensation of the additional costs scheme in the interest of beneficiaries, in line with the Commission’s goal of simplification. Member States should have more flexibility to modify their allocation during the budgetary period. In addition, a higher aid intensity rate than the one that applies to other operations should be applied in the outermost regions. _________________ 10COM(2017) 623.

Recital 29 a (new)
(29a) In order to ensure the survival of the fisheries sector in the outermost regions and in compliance with the principles of differential treatment for small islands and territories mentioned in Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14, it should be possible for the EMFF to support, on the basis of Article 349 TFEU, the renewal of the outermost regions’ small-scale coastal fishing vessels which land all their catches in ports in the outermost regions and contribute to local sustainable development, so as to increase human safety, to comply with European hygiene standards, to fight IUU fishing and to achieve greater environmental efficiency. This fishing fleet renewal should remain within the limits of authorised capacity ceilings, should be restricted to the replacement of an old vessel by a new one, and should allow sustainable fishing and the reaching of the Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) objective. It should be possible for the EMFF to support associated measures, such as the construction or the modernisation of small shipyards dedicated to traditional and artisanal fishing vessels in the outermost regions, the renovation of the deck, or studies.

Recital 43
(43) Under shared management, each Member States should prepare onea single programme in collaboration with all the regions that should be approved by the Commission. In the context of regionalisation and with a view to encouraging Member States to have a more strategic approach during the preparation of programmes, the Commission should develop an analysis for each sea basin indicating the common strengths and weaknesses with regard to the achievement of the objectives of the CFP. That analysis should guide both the Member States and the Commission in negotiating each programme taking into account regional challenges and needs. When assessing the programmes, the Commission should take into account the environmental and socio- economic challenges of the CFP, the socio- economic performance of the sustainable blue economy, the challenges at sea basin level, the conservation and restoration of marine ecosystems, the reduction of marine litter and climate change mitigation and adaptation.
