Question 13854 — aquaculture and professional fishing

Summary

Ms. Alexandra Martin (Alpes-Maritimes) draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty to the extremely worrying situation of maritime fishing in the Mediterranean, faced with a sudden increase in the cost of fuel, estimated at nearly 80% since the start of the conflict in the Middle East. This increase now places a growing share of the fleet in the economic impossibility of going out to sea: ships are already at dock and others are preparing to cease their activity. In some cases, fuel represents up to 60% of turnover, making each outing loss-making. Fishermen, paid “by the share”, thus see their income fall directly, without the possibility of passing these increases on to prices set by the market. This crisis occurs in a context already weakened by significant regulatory constraints, particularly in the Mediterranean, and also affects small artisanal units, essential to the economic and social balance of ports. The measures announced by the Government, based on deferrals of charges or loans, appear to be out of step with the reality of the sector. Furthermore, several European countries, such as Spain and Italy, have implemented aid directly to fuel, creating a distortion of competition unfavorable to French fishermen. In this context, without rapid intervention, a significant part of the French Mediterranean fleet is threatened with cessation of activity in the very short term, with major consequences on employment, the local economic fabric and food sovereignty. She asks him what immediate and concrete measures the Government intends to implement. works to support the sector.
