The proposal introduces measures to alleviate the economic consequences of Russia's military aggression on the fishing and aquaculture supply chains.
Financial compensation will be available to recognized producer organizations and associations that manage the storage of fishery or aquaculture products.
Operators in the sector, including those in the processing industry, can receive aid for lost income and additional costs like rising energy and fuel prices.
Support is provided for the temporary cessation of fishing activities if security is jeopardized or if operations are no longer economically viable.
