MEPs protest against 67% cut in 2028-2034 funding for fisheries

On Tuesday 23 September, European Parliament’s Committee on Fisheries protested against what it considers an unacceptable proposal for funding the common fisheries policy (CFP) for the period 2028-2034 under the EU’s next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF).

MEPs deplored a two-thirds cut in funding, criticised the new budget structure (single national plan) and expressed fears of the CFP’s renationalisation and unfair competition between European fleets (see EUROPE B13714A2).
