In October a proposed amendment to the regulations governing Poland’s Ministry of Maritime Economy and Inland Navigation would set out procedures for aid disbursement “to mitigate the effects of Russia’s aggressive war against Ukraine on fishing activities and to limit the impact of market disturbances caused by the war aggravating the supply chain of fishery and aquaculture products.”
The financial aid would come from funds that Poland receives from the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund, providing financial compensation to entities in the fisheries and aquaculture sec- tor, including processing, for their additional costs incurred in connection with the market disturbance caused by the war waged by Russia. Aid is to be provided to fishing vessels, aquaculture entities, processing plants, and other inland and coastal operations. At this stage, no financial amounts have been estimated.
