Question for written answer E-016089-15
to the Commission
Rule 130
Alain Cadec (PPE)

Article 34 of Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 on the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) stipulates that, in the case of traditional wooden vessels, support may be granted for the permanent cessation of fishing activities without scrapping, provided that such vessels retain a land-based heritage function.

Can the Commission say how much support of this kind has been provided for by the Member States in their operational programmes and what forms it takes?
