Kadis: Move Away from Dependence on Fossil Fuels

European Commissioner Kostas Kadis emphasized the need to move away from dependence on fossil fuels in the fisheries and aquaculture sector, at the opening of the high-level conference on the energy transition. He stressed that the EU is committed to an environmentally sustainable and climate-neutral sector by 2050. Mr. Kadis acknowledged the existing challenges, such as the lack of mature decarbonization solutions and low investments, but highlighted the availability of funding tools through the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (EMFAF). The discussion is part of the preparation of the Roadmap for the Energy Transition and the European Ocean Pact.
