The Commission has adopted the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF) Programme for Slovakia, to implement the EU Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) and EU policy priorities outlined in the European Green Deal. The total financial allocation for the Slovak programme 2021-2027 is €20.4 million over the next 6 years, of which the EU contribution accounts for €15.2 million.

The EMFAF Programme for Slovakia will help build a stronger aquaculture and processing sector in Slovakia, support innovation in productive investments, help the decarbonization of the sectors by improving their energy efficiency, improve the market organisation and increase profitability and sustainability of the entire market chain.

Environment, Oceans and Fisheries Commissioner Virginijus Sinkevičius said: “I am happy to announce the adoption of the EMFAF programme for Slovakia, the programme that will support the sustainable use of aquatic resources and development of fisheries and aquaculture in fresh waters. The new Programme will give the opportunity to the aquaculture and processing sectors in Slovakia to invest in building a resilient and low-carbon sector.”

The Programme will support the resilience of the fisheries and aquaculture sectors, and their green and digital transition. 83% will be invested in sustainable aquaculture, processing and marketing. The programme sets 52% of the allocation to supporting activities contributing to the EU's climate objectives.

With the adoption of this Programme, the EMFAF programmes for all member states have been adopted and they can now focus on making use of this funding and implementation on the ground.
