Abstract

The plan aims to mitigate the effects of the spread of the Covid 19 epidemic and negatively affect the work of fishermen in financial terms due to market disruption and reduced demand on the part of consumers. The declining demand for fishery products and falling prices combined with the vulnerability and complexity of the supply chain are detrimental to fishing activities. Beneficiaries of the Plan and conditions for Participation are: The Plan is addressed to fishermen/boat owners who hold a professional fishing license for commercial fishing vessels registered in the Cyprus Fisheries Register (MAS) for small-scale coastal fishing and multi-faceted fishing. Fishermen/boat owners with category C licenses are not eligible to participate in this Plan. Beneficiaries are owners of fishing boats that are registered as active (active fishing license) and have been engaged in fishing activities at sea for at least 120 days during the two calendar years preceding the date of submission of this application/expression of interest (ie have exercised fishing activities at sea for at least 120 days during the years 2018 and 2019).
