A new report from ClientEarth reveals that limits on vessel weight and power under EU’s Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) prove no obstacle to switching the EU fishing fleet to energy-efficient and low-carbon propulsion technologies.
The European Commission must stick to its commitment to deliver a roadmap for the energy transition of the EU fisheries sector before the end of the year, said scientists, a former Member of the European Parliament, NGOs and artisanal fishers today, during a Brussels Ocean Week event Driving the energy transition and climate resilience in EU fisheries.
This report examines the extent to which existing capacity caps for the EU Fishing fleet affect decarbonization efforts. The analysis reveals that many Member States have not yet reached their capacity ceilings, and there are pathways for hybrid or full decarbonization that align with current regulations.
