It addresses challenges related to the energy transition, such as skills development, financing, and knowledge gaps. The Commission will coordinate the Partnership's work. Commissioner Virginius Sinkevičius emphasized the need for the sector's active participation and highlighted the benefits of transitioning to renewable energy sources. In addition, the Commission has released a digital tool to help fishers assess the impact of fuel costs on their economic performance.
The tool enables users to estimate the effects of different fuel prices on key indicators like profit and value added. To participate or learn more, interested parties can visit the Partnership's website or download the informational leaflet.
