Abstract:

One of the aims of the common fisheries policy (CFP) in the period up to 2013, and its funding instrument, the European Fisheries Fund (EFF), was to encourage the sustainable development of aquaculture.

The Court examined whether EFF measures to develop aquaculture were well designed and implemented, and whether they delivered value for money. Overall, the Court found that effective support was not provided, as the framework to develop aquaculture at both EU and Member State level was relatively weak, and the measures actually taken did not provide sufficient results.
