Proposal for a
REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
amending Regulation (EU) 2021/1139 as regards simplification and the transposition of the WTO Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies
{SWD(2026) 282 final}
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1.CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL
•Reasons for and objectives of the proposal
The European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF), established under Regulation (EU) 2021/1139 1 (‘the EMFAF Regulation’), allocates resources from the EU budget to support the common fisheries policy (CFP), the Union’s maritime policy and its international commitments on ocean governance. The combination of the CFP’s regulatory framework – which covers the conservation of marine biological resources, an area of exclusive EU competence – and the structural support provided by the EMFAF has proven effective in maintaining or restoring healthy fish stocks and promoting sustainable aquaculture. As key contributors to EU food production, the fisheries and aquaculture sectors require reliable financing to cope with negative externalities, environmental volatility, and the need for innovation, strategic planning and adaptation. The EMFAF therefore underpins sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, the conservation of marine biological resources, food security, the blue economy and the management of healthy, safe and secure seas and oceans. Member States draw up national EMFAF programmes tailored to their needs and based on the priorities and objectives set out in the EMFAF Regulation.
Despite its strategic importance, the current regulatory framework presents implementation challenges. The mid-term EMFAF evaluation 2 and regular feedback from Member States, stakeholders and Advisory Councils (ACs), indicate that funding opportunities are perceived as limited and insufficiently flexible. Legal uncertainty and complexity have been identified as major barriers to supporting the energy transition, small-scale fishing and generational renewal. Moreover, while the EMFAF is the main source of financing for the implementation of the CFP, some of its provisions go beyond the requirements of the CFP Regulation and are impacted by significant shifts in external factors since the adoption of the EMFAF Regulation, such as the increasing urgency to support the sector’s energy transition. The evaluation therefore recommends targeted measures to accelerate implementation timelines and reduce administrative delays.
This proposal seeks to amend the EMFAF Regulation to make it more accessible and easier for Member States and beneficiaries to implement. The amendment also incorporates the necessary changes to ensure the full implementation in EU law of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies (AFS), which was adopted at the WTO’s 12th Ministerial Conference on 17 June 2022, was ratified by the EU on 7 June 2023 and entered into force on 15 September 2025. The agreement prohibits harmful fisheries subsidies and targets specific fishing activities and areas, including illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, fishing of overfished stocks and fishing on the unregulated high seas, setting out corresponding new obligations.
•Consistency with existing policy provisions in the policy area
The proposal is limited to targeted amendments to Regulation (EU) 2021/1139 and is consistent with Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 on the Common Fisheries Policy and with Regulation (EU) 2021/1060 on common provisions for Union funds implemented under shared management.
•Consistency with other Union policies
The proposal and its objectives are consistent with other Union policies, especially environmental, climate, cohesion, agriculture, social, market and trade policies.
The proposal is also consistent with the initiatives set out in the European Ocean Pact, which applies an integrated approach to funding and ocean-relevant policies that cover a broad range of areas, including the conservation of marine biological resources, which is one of the EU’s five exclusive competences; the restoration of marine biodiversity; the management of, and innovation in, fisheries and sustainable aquaculture; the implementation of the CFP; ocean knowledge; maritime security; food security; and the development and scaling-up of a competitive and sustainable blue economy. The proposal also contributes to achieving the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goal 14 (‘conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources’), to which the EU is committed.
2.LEGAL BASIS, SUBSIDIARITY AND PROPORTIONALITY
•Legal basis
Article 42, Article 43(2), Article 91(1), Article 100(2), Article 173(3), Article 175, Article 188, Article 192(1), Article 194(2), Article 195(2) and Article 349 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
•Subsidiarity (for non-exclusive competence)
The proposed provisions will be implemented under shared management in accordance with the Financial Regulation 3 .
•Proportionality
The proposed provisions comply with the proportionality principle as they are appropriate and necessary and no less restrictive measures are available to achieve the intended policy objectives.
•Choice of the instrument
The proposed instrument is a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council.
3.RESULTS OF EX-POST EVALUATIONS, STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATIONS AND IMPACT ASSESSMENTS
•Ex-post evaluations/fitness checks of existing legislation
The preliminary results of the ex-post evaluation of the EMFF Regulation (2014-2020) and the mid-term evaluation of the EMFAF Regulation (2021-2027) show that previous EU funds targeting similar areas have had a positive impact on the fisheries and aquaculture sectors, have contributed to the implementation of the CFP, including the conservation of marine biological resources, especially by improving fisheries control and enforcement and supporting data collection. They have also made positive contributions to maritime policy, international ocean governance, the development of coastal communities and the sustainable blue economy.
The EMFAF mid-term evaluation illustrates that Member States consider that limited capacity, institutional structures and strict eligibility conditions for fleet-related measures are the main causes of slow implementation, indicating a need for further improvements to the delivery system. Overall, the evaluation confirms that the EMFAF remains a strategic tool for addressing EU policy priorities and national needs, offering Member States the flexibility to programme funding in response to an evolving policy context and changing priorities.
•Stakeholder consultations
In addition to the evidence gathered through the EMFAF mid-term evaluation, supporting studies and exchanges with Member States, the sector, NGOs and wider civil society, the Commission has collected a broad range of contributions from Member States and stakeholders to inform the targeted amendment of the EMFAF Regulation. The amendment also draws on discussions within expert groups, input from national experts and the work of the Commission’s dedicated EMFAF monitoring and evaluation support unit, the Fisheries and Aquaculture Monitoring, Evaluation and Local Support Network (FAMENET).
Several resolutions adopted by the European Parliament have called on the Commission to review the EMFAF Regulation. In its resolution on the state of play of the CFP’s implementation, adopted in January 2024, Parliament acknowledged limitations in the EMFAF and called on the Commission and the Member States to facilitate access to EMFAF support for industry professionals. In a further resolution adopted in March 2026, Parliament called for unnecessary regulatory barriers under the EMFAF to be removed. Likewise, in its resolution on the decarbonisation and modernisation of the EU fishing fleet adopted in December 2025, Parliament stressed that the current rules can ‘severely restrict’ access to financing for vessel renewal and energy efficiency. Parliament therefore reiterated its calls for targeted amendments to both the CFP framework and the EMFAF, as it believes that the existing frameworks hinder necessary improvements in safety and energy efficiency and undermine the competitiveness and profitability of EU fishers compared with non-EU fleets.
More specifically, the European Parliament called for Articles 17 to 19 of the EMFAF Regulation to be revised to simplify the eligibility criteria, arguing that the current conditions are too restrictive, limit the practical application of those provisions and result in low uptake. These concerns are echoed in research carried out for the PECH Committee on the energy transition of the fishing fleet, which, following consultations with an EMFAF managing authority and sector representatives, found that stakeholders see fleet modernisation as a priority for reducing operating costs and improving working conditions, with decarbonisation being pursued as a complementary objective.
In addition to regular administrative exchanges, ministers from several Member States have sent a joint letter inviting the Commission to assess whether the EMFAF Regulation could be reviewed to better support the energy transition and generational renewal, including through a simplification package. Some Member States, such as Estonia, Finland and Spain, have raised the matter in writing and requested dedicated meetings. The issue was also discussed in the Council, including at the AGRIFISH Council meetings in March 2025, November 2025 and March 2026.
Several stakeholders, including ACs and sectoral associations, have submitted proposals for targeted amendments. The issues raised by the ACs concern implementation constraints, particularly the lack of operational calls for potential applicants by the Member States, unclear timelines and complex administrative procedures. Sectoral associations have called for structural measures to strengthen the sector’s long-term resilience, together with targeted adjustments and increased support for a just energy transition. These organisations include Europêche, SEA Europe, LIFE, the French National Association of Producer Organisations (ANOP), the French National Committee for Maritime Fisheries and Marine Aquaculture (CNPMEM), and two of its regional representations (CDPMEM du Finistère and CRPMEM Bretagne).
The Commission also sought feedback in view of a possible targeted amendment of the EMFAF through a call for evidence 4 open from 23 June to 21 July 2026. A total of 69 replies were received from stakeholders in 18 Member States. Business associations were the largest respondent group (20 replies), followed by NGOs (17 replies). Spain accounted for 29 replies.
Business associations represented the largest respondent group, accounting for 21 of the 69 submissions received. They broadly called for administrative simplification, the extension of funding eligibility beyond SMEs to larger enterprises, changes to fleet-capacity rules, and more flexible conditions for generational renewal. They also stressed the need to preserve the EMFAF’s ring-fenced budget, rather than integrating it into a broader post-2027 fund.
Non-governmental organisations generally supported full transposition of the WTO Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies, including strong provisions to prevent support linked to IUU fishing. At the same time, they highlighted that simplification must not weaken eligibility rules, monitoring requirements or stakeholder participation. Many also advocated redirecting funding toward small-scale, low-impact fishing, ecosystem restoration, animal welfare safeguards and greater transparency in the allocation of subsidies.
Public authorities broadly supported simplification and greater flexibility in implementation. Many argued that the fishing-capacity concept should be revised, considering GT/kW ceilings to be outdated. Regional authorities and authorities from outermost regions called for greater recognition of insular and regional specificities, more flexible rules on generational and fleet renewal, and, in some cases, a dedicated crisis mechanism to address shocks such as fuel-price increases.
Companies argued that limiting eligibility to SMEs unfairly excludes larger processors and marketing operators. They also supported funding for digital infrastructure for landing declarations and reporting and raised concerns about the legal implications of a blanket exclusion of subsidies linked to bottom trawling.
Other respondents similarly supported full transposition of the WTO AFS and stronger environmental targeting of funding. Finally, they called for simpler application procedures, faster payments, and the removal of SME-only eligibility restrictions.

Proposal for a
REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
amending Regulation (EU) 2021/1139 as regards simplification and the transposition of the WTO Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Articles 42, Article 43(2), Article 91(1), Article 100(2), Article 173(3), Article 175, Article 188, Article 192(1), Article 194(2), Article 195(2) and Article 349 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure,
Whereas:
(1)The needs of the European Union’s fisheries sector and the challenges it is currently facing call for a better-tailored and straightforward support measures under the European Maritime Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (the ‘EMFAF’). The adjustments proposed in this Regulation aim to improve and facilitate implementation of the EMFAF by addressing some of the issues that have been identified in the mid-term evaluation of the EMFAF as well as in the stakeholder consultation, without departing from the fundamental principles of the policy and while ensuring compliance with the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) Regulation. The aim of the amendments is to increase flexibility for Member States and reduce the burden on beneficiaries, thereby enabling them to make better use of the opportunities offered by the EMFAF for the remainder of the programming period.
(2)The budgetary restrictions on allocations for fleet measures and permanent cessation should be revised to give Member States greater flexibility and agility in programming additional financial allocations under these measures.
(3)To enhance safety at sea without increasing fishing capacity, navigation technologies such as GPS or radars should be made eligible for support.
(4)Generational renewal in fisheries is essential for Europe’s food security, sustainability and coastal vitality. Therefore, the transfer of ownership to young fishers and small-scale coastal fisheries should be facilitated. To ensure the viability of small-scale fishers and address their economic vulnerability, it is necessary to provide appropriate financial incentives to diversify activities.
(5)In line with recital (4), it should therefore also be possible for Member States to grant young fishers a higher aid intensity rate to support generational renewal and facilitate their entry into the sector.
(6)Greater flexibility and simplification are required in the energy transition process to ensure that the future of fisheries is ecologically, economically and socially sustainable, while safeguarding the viability of current business models. Replacing or modernising engines, for example using technology based on hydrogen, ammonia, internal combustion, fuel cells, electricity, a combination of electricity and combustion (hybrid), fuel cell hybrid, or any other equivalent energy-efficient or alternative fuel technology, is one way to accelerate the energy transition of the fisheries sector and boost the Union’s competitiveness. To support the energy transition process and increase the attractiveness of the sector, small-scale coastal fishing vessels should be given greater flexibility in modernising or replacing their engines. Therefore, the requirements in Article 18(2), point (c), of Regulation (EU) 2021/1139 should be amended to shift the focus from the engine’s kW capacity to its contribution to energy efficiency, measured by the proposed reduction in CO2 emissions. The requirements for engine replacement in Article 18(2), point (d), of Regulation (EU) 2021/1139 should be adapted to remove rigid thresholds that currently impede uptake, thereby enabling broader decarbonisation across the fleet.
(7)To further reduce the administrative burden on the fishing sector, the registration period for fishing vessels should be reduced from 10 to five calendar years. In addition, increases in the gross tonnage capacity of vessels should be permitted for small-scale coastal fisheries to accommodate the increase in volume required to replace an engine or improve energy efficiency.
(8)Eel fisheries are highly seasonal as they are influenced by geographical factors and the eel’s complex life cycle. For simplification purposes, the specific characteristics of eel fisheries should be reflected in the calculation of fishing activities at sea, and a derogation from the requirement of 90 days at sea should be introduced in Article 20(2), point (c), of Regulation (EU) 2021/1139, as is already the case for Article 21 of that Regulation.
(9)Financial support for temporary cessation should be allowed in order to alleviate the socio-economic impact on fishers of significant and unexpected reductions in fishing opportunities.
(10)Additional financial support is required to foster innovation, energy transition and energy efficiency initiatives that contribute to the Union’s environmental and climate objectives, particularly in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors. Further targeted support should therefore be allowed for pilot and research projects in those sectors that constitute experimental initiatives designed to test the feasibility of a measure under the applicable legal framework. Similarly, financial support should be allowed for investments in ports and infrastructure that contribute to the energy transition in the fisheries sector.
(11)Member States should be permitted to further support the design, development and collective implementation of national strategies for marine protected areas and fisheries-restricted areas and for the management of those areas.
(12)It is also necessary to amend Regulation (EU) 2021/1139 in order to transpose the Protocol amending the Marrakesh Agreement establishing the World Trade Organization, which contains the Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies 5 .
(13)The European Union is a member of the World Trade Organization (‘WTO’), which launched the Doha Round of trade negotiations, known as ‘the Doha Development Agenda’, in November 2001. The objective of the WTO negotiations on fisheries subsidies was to deliver on Target 14.6 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which focuses on prohibiting certain forms of fisheries subsidies that lead to overcapacity and overfishing, eliminating subsidies that support illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, and refraining from introducing new harmful subsidies.
(14)On 17 June 2022, the 12th Ministerial Conference adopted the Protocol amending the Marrakesh Agreement establishing the World Trade Organization (‘the Protocol’), which contains the Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies (‘the Agreement’). The Protocol entered into force on 15 September 2025, when the required two thirds of WTO members had deposited their instruments of acceptance of the Agreement.
(15)The Agreement identifies a number of fisheries subsidies as harmful and establishes an obligation for WTO members to prohibit subsidies for vessels or operators engaged in IUU fishing or fishing-related activities in support of IUU fishing and for fishing and fishing-related activities on the high seas outside the regulatory competence of a relevant regional fisheries management organisation or arrangement (‘RFMO/A’).
(16)Council Decision (EU) 2023/1116 6 approved the Protocol. The European Union deposited its instrument of acceptance on 7 June 2023. The Protocol should be implemented in Union law.
(17)In order to implement the provisions of the Agreement and ensure full compliance with its obligations, in particular as regards EU funding, it is necessary to amend Regulation (EU) 2021/1139 to provide that for operators and vessels involved in IUU fishing or fishing-related activities in support of IUU fishing, as determined in accordance with Article 3.2 of the Agreement, and fishing and fishing-related activities on the high seas outside the regulatory competence of a relevant RFMO/A are ineligible for support under the EMFAF.
(18)According to Article 5.1 of the Agreement, no WTO member is to grant or maintain subsidies for fishing or fishing-related activities conducted outside of the jurisdiction of a coastal member or a coastal non-member and outside the competence of a relevant RFMO/A. To implement that rule in Union law, it is necessary to provide that such operations and expenditure are also ineligible for funding under the EMFAF. For this purpose, a new Article 13a should be introduced to supplement the list of ineligible operations and expenditure under Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2021/1139.
(19)To ensure consistency with the obligations under the Agreement, the provisions implementing the Agreement should apply from the date of entry into force of this amending Regulation until the date of termination of the Agreement, as published in the Official Journal of the European Union. During that period, applications for support that do not comply with the Agreement should be inadmissible, and operations and expenditure should be ineligible.
(20)Findings of IUU fishing in affirmative determinations under Article 3.2 of the Agreement should be without prejudice to findings of IUU fishing under Council Regulations (EC) No 1005/2008 7 and (EC) No 1224/2009 8 ,
HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1

(3) the following Article 11a is inserted after Article 11:
‘Article 11a
Admissibility of applications in the case of an affirmative determination
1. Without prejudice to Article 11, an application for support submitted by an operator shall be or become inadmissible if a coastal state or an RFMO/A notifies the flag Member State of an affirmative determination concerning an operator or a vessel the operator operates.
2. Where an affirmative determination is notified by a coastal state, an application for support submitted by an operator shall be inadmissible if the affirmative determination is based on relevant factual information and the coastal state has provided the following to the flag Member State and, if known, the subsidising Member State:
(a)a timely notification communicated through appropriate channels. The notification shall also include references to the applicable laws, regulations or administrative procedures, or other relevant information and details of any measures taken, including the following:
(i)the temporary detention of the vessel or operator, pending further investigation, for engaging in IUU fishing, or
(ii)the initiation by the coastal state of an investigation for IUU fishing;
(b)an opportunity to exchange relevant information before the affirmative determination is finalised, so that such information may be taken into account in the final affirmative determination, in a manner and within a period to be specified by the coastal state.

1.FRAMEWORK OF THE PROPOSAL/INITIATIVE
1.1.Title of the proposal/initiative
Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EU) 2021/1139 as regard simplification and the transposition of the WTO Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies.
1.2.Policy area(s) concerned
The proposal concerns Programme cluster 8 (‘Agriculture & Maritime Policy’) under Heading 3 (‘Natural Resources and Environment’) of the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) 2021-2027. It is limited to targeted amendments to Regulation (EU) 2021/1139 and is consistent with Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 on the Common Fisheries Policy and with Regulation (EU) 2021/1060 on common provisions for Union funds implemented under shared management.
Moreover, it has linkages to other Union policies, especially environmental, climate, cohesion, agriculture, social, market and trade policies. It is consistent with the initiatives set out in the European Ocean Pact and contributes to achieving the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goal 14 (‘conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources’), to which the EU is committed.
1.3.Objective(s)
1.3.1.General objective(s)
This proposal seeks to amend the EMFAF Regulation to make it more accessible and easier for Member States and beneficiaries to implement. The proposal also incorporates the necessary changes to ensure the full implementation in EU law of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies (AFS).
1.3.2.Specific objective(s)
The proposal introduces new definitions to provide greater legal certainty, makes certain conditions on engine replacement or modernisation more flexible, introduces two new schemes for temporary cessation and small-scale fisheries, increases the aid intensity to support generational renewal, and eases certain restrictions on budget allocations. The proposal also transposes the AFS into this legal basis.
1.3.3.Expected result(s) and impact
Specify the effects which the proposal/initiative should have on the beneficiaries/groups targeted.
The proposal is expected to:
provide greater legal certainty and facilitate the testing of new technologies by introducing new definitions for “energy transition”, “pilot projects” and “demonstrators”, which should not be treated as ordinary fishing vessels.
accelerate the energy transition of the EU fishing fleet by making engine replacement and modernisation rules more flexible, with a simplified approval process and methodology for emissions reduction calculation.
have a positive impact on generational renewal by increasing aid intensity for young fishers and the removal of barriers to support the transfer of ownership of business will have a positive impact on generational renewal.
introduce a new scheme for temporary cessation in order to alleviate the socio-economic impact on fishers of significant and unexpected reductions in fishing opportunities.
grant Member States more budgetary flexibility by raising the ceiling for fleet measures and permanent cessation from 15 % to 30 % of each Member State’s allocation.
ensure full compliance with the AFS by making any operator or vessel engaged in IUU fishing or high seas activities outside the competence of Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) ineligible for EMFAF support.
1.3.4.Indicators of performance
Specify the indicators for monitoring progress and achievements.
The implementation, monitoring, evaluation and reporting requirements established in Regulations (EU) 2021/1139 and 2021/1060 apply.
1.4.The proposal/initiative relates to:
¨ a new action
¨ a new action following a pilot project / preparatory action 12
☒ the extension of an existing action
¨ a merger or redirection of one or more actions towards another/a new action

4.Digital dimensions
4.1.Requirements of digital relevance
|
The proposal does not include requirements of digital relevance, as it does not entail changes in reporting obligations nor new requirements concerning data flows. Although digital technologies are being used for EMFAF implementation by the Member States, the proposed amendments are not linked to those digital technologies. The only relevant digital change is a minor adaptation of the European Commission’s internal administrative and management side of the SFC system: the System for Fund Management in the European Union. SFC2021 is the electronic data exchange system for all official exchanges of information between the Member State and the Commission concerning the CPR Funds management as set in Article 69(9) of the Regulation (EU) 2021/1060 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 June 2021 laying down common provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund Plus, the Cohesion Fund, the Just Transition Fund and the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund and financial rules for those and for the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund, the Internal Security Fund and the Instrument for Financial Support for Border Management and Visa Policy. This electronic system used for exchanging official information between Managing Authorities and the European Commission, needs a slight adaptation of internal parameters as operations could reach higher financial ceilings. Indeed, financing plans of MAs will be adapted through programme amendments without changing the total financial allocations. However, the submission, workflow and validation processes remain unchanged. Managing Authorities in Member States, as end-users of SFC2021, will be informed of the change but are not expected to need to adapt their own systems or procedures, since the change is confined to backend parameter thresholds. The technical adaptation will be scheduled to take effect ahead of, or in parallel with, the entry into force of the amended EMFAF Regulation, so that Managing Authorities can submit and manage operations at the higher ceilings without interruption. |
4.2.Data
|
Not applicable. The proposal does not establish new data collection, sharing or processing obligations as a distinct policy requirement. The digital-related element is a minor internal adaptation linked to SFC2021, which does not introduce new data obligations for stakeholders or Member States. Therefore, there is no substantive digital or data-requirements impact to assess under the guidance. |
4.3.Digital solutions
|
Not applicable, as the proposal does not prescribe the use of specific digital solutions or impose digital-by-default tools. The only identified system-related consequence is a limited back-office adaptation of the SFC system. |
4.4.Interoperability assessment
|
Not applicable. The proposal does not create or modify cross-border digital public services, nor does it introduce interoperability obligations between national or EU digital systems. |
4.5.Measures to support digital implementation
|
Not applicable. The proposal does not include dedicated measures to organise or support digital implementation as such. |
