Recital 17

(17) Much has been achieved over the last few years by the CFP in bringing fish stocks back to healthy levels, in increasing the profitability of the Union's fishing industry and in conserving marine ecosystems. However, substantial challenges remain to achieve the socio- economic and environmental objectives of CFP. This requires continued support beyond 2020, notably in sea basins where progress has been slower, particularly in the most isolated ones like outermost regions.

(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 such as outermost regions.

(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 ~~location~~remoteness and insularity. Th~~at support should be capped as a percentage of this overall financial allocation~~e 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. ~~_________________ 10~~COM(2017) 623.

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.
