Russia's war on Ukraine: Support for the fishing, aquaculture and fish-processing sectors

The Russian war against Ukraine has a significant impact on the EU seafood sector.

The European Commission has responded with emergency measures, adapting State aid rules and activating exceptional support from the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF).
