Tirar la casa por la venta (de la manera correcta): 15 Recomendaciones para asignar los recursos del Fondo Europeo Marítimo, de Pesca y de Acuicultura (FEMPA)

The briefing argues that the EMFAF is designed for outdated purposes and fails to address the climate and biodiversity crises. It urges EU Member States to use their discretion in operational programs to shift funding away from industrial fleets and toward small-scale fishers and ocean restoration. The author proposes a 'FAIR' framework (Fair, Ambitious, Innovative, Revitalising) and lists 15 specific recommendations, including allocating at least 25% of national budgets to marine conservation and improving traceability through digitalization.

• The EMFAF is criticized for being designed for outdated goals and failing to address 21st-century challenges, specifically the climate and biodiversity crises.
• The document identifies three primary deficiencies in the EMFAF: a lack of specific funding for nature protection and restoration, the potential for spending to increase fishing capacity and overexploitation, and a failure to prioritize small-scale fishers.
• The author argues that EU subsidies for non-profitable, fossil-fuel-intensive industries lead to unnecessary carbon emissions and a 'vicious circle' of overcapacity and unsustainable quotas that threaten the sector's collapse.
• The briefing proposes that Member States adopt 'FAIR' operational programs, which are defined as fair to small-scale fishers, ambitious in reversing climate and biodiversity loss, innovative in sustainability funding, and revitalising for oceans and coastal communities.
• Among its 15 recommendations, the document specifically suggests that Member States allocate at least 25% of their national EMFAF budget to marine environment restoration and conservation measures.
• The document recommends shifting support for new fishers away from the acquisition of first vessels—which can increase fishing capacity—toward business creation and training to encourage generational renewal.
• The EMFAF has a total financial allocation of 6 billion euros for the 2021-2027 period.
