The document argues that the European Union is risking its international credibility by potentially reintroducing harmful fisheries subsidies through the 2021-2027 European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF). The authors highlight that 69% of European fish stocks are currently subject to overfishing and that the former European Parliament's position included subsidies for new fishing vessel construction, which would increase fishing effort. They call on the new European Parliament to amend this position to align with WTO multilateral prohibitions on subsidies that encourage overcapacity and the UN Sustainable Development Goal 14.6.

• The post-2020 European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) involves the allocation of over 6 billion euros in public funding for the 2021-2027 period to support aquaculture, fisheries management, and marine environment protection.
• Current data indicates that 69% of fish stocks in Europe are experiencing ongoing overfishing.
• The EU's approach to the EMFF is seen as critical to the success of World Trade Organization (WTO) negotiations regarding a multilateral prohibition of fisheries subsidies that encourage overfishing and fleet overcapacity.
