"The economic crisis and budgetary restrictions are having an impact on the European Fisheries Fund, particularly in those Member States with macro-economic adjustment programmes: Hungary, Romania, Latvia, Portugal, Greece and Ireland. The third report on the EFF (2009) noted that austerity measures had constrained national cofinancing and the credit crunch had affected private beneficiaries, reducing their ability to access and use these funds, and compromising the aims of cohesion. I support the amendment to Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006 so that, while such support mechanisms exist, the Commission can address increases in payments to the affected countries. For newly certified expenditure submitted during the period in question, it is proposed that a top-up of ten percentage points will be applied to the priority axis of the programmes, with no increase in the total financial allocation. The new cofinancing conditions of 15% and 40% respectively for eligible and non-eligible regions under the Convergence Objective could, however, present an obstacle to this mobilisation. We need to consider whether it needs to be reduced further. Furthermore, it would be appropriate to reconfigure the possibilities of the EFF itself and incorporate the financial instrument established in Regulation (EC) No 861/2006."@en1
