Not a model for Germany
The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPA) will grant aid totalling 40,000 euros per shipping company to "supplement" the economic situation of fishermen caused by the war in Ukraine. This is according to a royal decree published on Tuesday.
The regulation makes it possible to supplement state aid for companies that own fishing boats in order to overcome the economic difficulties caused by the Russian invasion. This is Article 19 of Royal Decree-Law 14/2022 of 1 August on measures for economic sustainability in the areas of transport, scholarships and study grants, as well as energy saving, energy efficiency and reducing dependence on natural gas.
Those fishing companies that received the same aid but whose ceiling of 35,000 euros set by the temporary framework at the time the licence was granted was not sufficient to cover the ceiling applicable to each vessel will benefit from the additional payment, the MAPA said in a statement.
The Ministry pointed out that the European Commission's communication on the temporary framework for crisis aid provides for an increase in the maximum amount per company to 75,000 euros.
