Abstract
The document comprehensively details Lithuania's operational framework for the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) support during 2014-2020, emphasizing its alignment with broader EU policies such as the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD), and the Europe 2020 strategy.
It underscores the importance of sustainable fisheries management, environmental protection, and socio-economic development within the legal context of EU regulations.
The primary objectives include promoting environmentally sustainable, resource-efficient, innovative, and competitive fisheries and aquaculture sectors, with specific focus on reducing environmental impacts, restoring biodiversity, and supporting territorial cohesion and employment in fisheries-dependent regions.
Key measures outlined involve strategic action plans, including SWOT analyses, environmental impact assessments, and the development of operational and local development strategies. The document specifies the roles of various institutional bodies, such as the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries Service, and the National Paying Agency, in implementing, monitoring, and evaluating support measures. It details procedural requirements for project selection, data collection, and enforcement mechanisms, including compliance with EU control and inspection standards, and highlights stakeholder involvement through partnerships, monitoring committees, and public publicity activities.
The implementation timeline spans from 2014 to 2020, with provisions for technical assistance, financial instruments, and coordination with other EU funds, ensuring procedural transparency, legal compliance, and stakeholder engagement as explicitly stated in the policy and legal frameworks.
