TRANSCRIPT
EU aquaculture priorities
Aquaculture is a key component of both the Common Fisheries Policy and the Blue Growth agenda. In consultation with stakeholders, the Commission has identified the main priorities to facilitate its sustainable development:
Simplifyadministrative
procedures
Ensure access to space through
coordinated spatial planning
Enhance thecompetitiveness of
EU aquaculture
Promote a level playing field for EU
operators
In their multiannual plans, Member States have defined measures to address these issues at national and regional scales.
Funding to support the sustainable development of aquaculture is availablethrough the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF).
Simplification ofadministrative procedures
Aspects covered by aquaculturelicencing procedures
Typical features
Planned actions by Member States
▶ Planning/building permission▶ Land/sea use (ownership, lease, consent)▶ Environmental Impact Assessment ▶ Animal Health▶ Food safety, health and hygiene
▶ Water use▶ Discharge into water▶ Health & safety▶ Farming of alien species
Applicationfees
are low, but other costs such as an Environmental Impact Assessment when
required must also be considered
Application processing time
and uncertainties are seen as the main problem
Reported application success rate
is more than 90% in most Member States
Licence duration is typically 10 years but can vary between 5 and
30 years
Improve proceduresReview and streamlining, set up of a one-stop-shop,
online application, longer licence duration
Support applicantsGuidance for applicants, platforms for dialogue with
public administrations, online portals
Strengthen public administrationImprove coordination between involved public bodies,
capacity building

Competitiveness and level playing field
The Farmed in the EU campaign informs consumers about the qualityand sustainability of EU aquaculture.
The Maritime Spatial Planning Directive creates a commonframework for the planning of human activities at sea.
The Commission has published guidance documentsto help implement relevant EU legislation.

Aquaculture in the EUTapping into Blue Growth
Aquaculture covers the farming of aquatic organisms(finfish, molluscs, crustaceans, algae…).
It takes place in both inland and marine areas.
The Commission is helping EU Member States to simplifyadministrative procedures, implement spatial planning and promote
sustainable aquaculture.
