EU fisheries ‘under strain’ as conflict and costs bite, warns Commissioner Kadis 😔

Cikk tartalma röviden

EU fisheries chief Costas Kadis warns that Europe's fisheries and aquaculture sectors are under pressure from geopolitical tensions and rising costs, particularly due to the Middle East conflict. He emphasizes the need for urgent support to maintain competitiveness, as many operators are struggling with thin margins and high fuel prices. The European Commission is considering short-term support measures similar to those after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Kadis also addresses security concerns in Cyprus, stating that the situation has stabilized and life is returning to normal.
