EFF divided between MS in particular:•size of their fisheries sector, •the number of people in the sector, •continuity of the activities
How much money for which areas ?

Main financial instrument to support the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP).
It helps to:• Promote a sustainable balance between resources and fishing
capacity. • Strengthen the competitiveness of the sector, including aquaculture. • Protect and enhance the environment. • Develop fishing communities and improve the quality of life of the
people living there.
Why have a European Fisheries Fund?
