Fondo Europeo Marítimo y de Pesca (FEMP)

Information about EU’s corona response is available on Coronavirus response: Fisheries and aquaculture

Information on funding after 2020 is available here: EU budget: Commission proposes a new fund to invest in the maritime economy and support fishing communities)

El FEMP es el fondo de las políticas marítima y pesquera de la UE para 2014-2020.

Es uno de los cinco Fondos Estructurales y de Inversión Europeos (Fondos EIE) que se complementan entre sí con el fin de fomentar la recuperación en Europa a partir del crecimiento y el empleo.

El Fondo:

Ayuda a los pescadores en la transición a la pesca sostenible.
Ayuda a las comunidades costeras a diversificar sus economías.
Financia proyectos para crear empleo y mejorar la calidad de vida en las costas europeas.
Facilita el acceso a la financiación.

Cómo funciona

El Fondo se utiliza para cofinanciar proyectos junto con la financiación nacional.

A cada país se le asigna una parte del presupuesto total del Fondo en función del tamaño de su sector pesquero.
A continuación, cada país elabora un programa operativo, en el que indica cómo piensa gastar el dinero.
Una vez que la Comisión aprueba el programa, corresponde a las autoridades nacionales decidir los proyectos que van a financiarse.
Las autoridades nacionales y la Comisión son responsables conjuntamente de la aplicación del programa.

Cómo acceder a financiación del FEMP

Para ver si un proyecto puede optar a la ayuda del FEMP:

Consulte primero a la autoridad nacional responsable de la gestión del programa operativo en su país.
A continuación, siga el proceso de solicitud pertinente, de manera que la autoridad de gestión pueda comprobar si el proyecto puede optar a la ayuda y si cumple los criterios de selección y las prioridades de inversión pertinentes.
