Question 31051 — aquaculture and professional fishing

Summary

Ms. Sophie Auconie draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture and Food to the status of professional freshwater fishermen. Indeed, there is a duality which complicates their economic activity. In terms of social law, they are considered as heads of agricultural holdings and contribute to the Mutualité sociale agricole. However, since Law No. 2006-1772 of December 30, 2006 on water and aquatic environments, the Freshwater fishing law has been integrated into the environmental code. However, in terms of socio-economic aspects, the Ministry of the Environment does not have the legal skills to support these professional fishermen. Furthermore, in certain situations this situation can create a distortion of competition between freshwater fishermen and marine fishermen in estuaries because they are not governed by the same rules, whereas they fish for the same species in the same areas. Professional freshwater fishing has many advantages, including having a very low carbon impact and working in a short circuit. The profession is asking for a simplification of its status so that it is fully integrated into the Ministry of Agriculture. She wishes to know the Government's intentions on this subject.
