The initiative seeks to establish a long-term framework to tackle structural challenges and safeguard the sustainability and competitiveness

EU Commission Launches Consultation on Vision 2040 for Fisheries and Aquaculture

EUROPEAN UNION
Friday, February 27, 2026, 08:00 (GMT + 9)

Stakeholders invited to shape a 15-year strategy aimed at strengthening sustainability, competitiveness and food security across Europe’s aquatic food sector

The European Commission has launched a call for evidence to gather input from stakeholders, experts and citizens on its upcoming Vision 2040 for Fisheries and Aquaculture, a comprehensive strategy designed to guide the sector over the next 15 years.

The initiative seeks to establish a long-term framework to tackle structural challenges and safeguard the sustainability and competitiveness of the EU fisheries and aquaculture sector, a cornerstone of European food security and the economic backbone of many coastal communities.

Addressing Structural Pressures

Despite its strategic importance, the sector faces mounting pressures. These include an ageing workforce, limited generational renewal, vulnerability to external shocks, heavy fossil fuel dependency, and the urgent need to ensure sustainable fish stock management.

The forthcoming Vision 2040 will address these concerns across the entire aquatic value chain — spanning fisheries, aquaculture, and aquatic food processing — with the goal of reinforcing resilience while advancing environmental and economic objectives.

The strategy builds on commitments outlined in the European Ocean Pact, insights from the Fishers of the Future foresight study, and the ongoing evaluation of the Common Fisheries Policy Regulation.

Four Strategic Pillars

The Vision will be structured around four interconnected dimensions:

  • Aquatic food demand

  • Aquatic food supply

  • Workforce development

  • Infrastructure and financing

In addition, the Commission has pledged to prioritize simplification measures, ensuring that policy objectives are delivered in a cost-effective and proportionate manner.

Broad Stakeholder Engagement

The consultation period will remain open until 24 March 2026, with the Commission encouraging contributions from a wide spectrum of stakeholders, including:

  • Fishing industry representatives and producer organisations

  • Aquaculture operators and aquatic food processors

  • Non-governmental organisations and civil society groups

  • Academic and scientific institutions

  • National, regional and local authorities

  • Social and economic partners

  • Individual citizens

Submissions can be made through the Commission’s “Have Your Say” portal.

Next Steps

The feedback gathered will directly inform the drafting of the Vision 2040. Alongside the public consultation, the Commission is conducting structured dialogues with stakeholders on key issues such as ensuring a level playing field, enhancing food security, conserving marine biological resources, and accelerating the green, digital and social transition in Europe’s coastal regions.

The final strategy is expected to play a decisive role in shaping the future of Europe’s fisheries and aquaculture sector, balancing economic vitality with environmental responsibility through to 2040.

EU委員会、漁業および養殖業のビジョン2040に関する意見募集を開始

持続可能性、競争力、食料安全保障を強化することを目的とした15年間の戦略策定に向け、関係者に意見提出を呼びかけ

欧州委員会(European Commission)は、今後策定予定の「漁業および養殖業ビジョン2040(Vision 2040 for Fisheries and Aquaculture)」に関して、関係者、専門家、市民から意見を募るための意見募集(call for evidence)を開始した。本戦略は、今後15年間にわたり同分野を導く包括的な枠組みを確立することを目的としている。

本構想は、**EUの漁業および養殖業部門(EU fisheries and aquaculture sector)が直面する構造的課題に対処し、その持続可能性と競争力を確保するための長期的枠組みを構築するものである。同部門は欧州の食料安全保障(European food security)の要であり、多くの沿岸地域社会(coastal communities)**の経済的基盤でもある。

構造的圧力への対応

戦略的重要性にもかかわらず、同分野は深刻な圧力に直面している。具体的には、高齢化する労働力(ageing workforce)、限定的な世代交代(generational renewal)、**外部ショック(external shocks)への脆弱性、化石燃料依存(fossil fuel dependency)、および持続可能な魚類資源管理(sustainable fish stock management)**の緊急性が挙げられる。

今後策定される**ビジョン2040(Vision 2040)**は、漁業(fisheries)養殖業(aquaculture)、**水産食品加工(aquatic food processing)**を含む水産バリューチェーン全体を対象とし、環境目標と経済目標の両立を図りながら、レジリエンス強化を目指す。

本戦略は、欧州海洋協定(European Ocean Pact)における公約、「未来の漁業者(Fishers of the Future)」予測研究の知見、および進行中の**共通漁業政策規則(Common Fisheries Policy Regulation)**の評価を基盤としている。

4つの戦略的柱

ビジョンは、相互に関連する4つの柱に基づいて構築される。

  • 水産食品需要(Aquatic food demand)

  • 水産食品供給(Aquatic food supply)

  • 労働力開発(Workforce development)

  • インフラおよび資金調達(Infrastructure and financing)

さらに欧州委員会は、政策目標が費用対効果が高く(cost-effective)、かつ**均衡の取れた(proportionate)**形で達成されるよう、**簡素化措置(simplification measures)**を優先することを約束している。

幅広い関係者の参加

意見募集は**2026年3月24日(24 March 2026)**まで実施され、委員会は以下を含む幅広い関係者からの参加を呼びかけている。

  • 漁業業界代表(Fishing industry representatives)および生産者団体(producer organisations)

  • 養殖業者(Aquaculture operators)および水産食品加工業者(aquatic food processors)

  • 非政府組織(Non-governmental organisations)および市民社会団体(civil society groups)

  • 学術・科学機関(Academic and scientific institutions)

  • 国家・地域・地方当局(National, regional and local authorities)

  • 社会・経済パートナー(Social and economic partners)

  • 一般市民(Individual citizens)

提出は、欧州委員会の**「Have Your Say」ポータル**を通じて行うことができる。

今後のステップ

本意見募集で収集されたフィードバックは、**ビジョン2040(Vision 2040)**の策定に直接反映される。公開協議と並行して、委員会は、**公平な競争条件(level playing field)**の確保、**食料安全保障(food security)**の強化、**海洋生物資源(marine biological resources)の保全、そして欧州の沿岸地域におけるグリーン、デジタル、社会的移行(green, digital and social transition)**の加速に関する構造的対話も進めている。

最終戦略は、**2040年(2040)**までに欧州の漁業および養殖業分野の将来を方向付ける決定的な役割を果たし、経済的活力と環境責任の両立を実現することが期待されている。

欧盟委员会启动渔业和水产养殖业2040愿景意见征集

邀请利益相关方参与制定为期15年的战略,以加强可持续性、竞争力和欧洲食品安全

欧盟委员会(European Commission)已启动一项征求意见(call for evidence),就即将制定的**《渔业和水产养殖业2040愿景(Vision 2040 for Fisheries and Aquaculture)》征集利益相关方、专家和公民的意见。该战略旨在为未来15年**制定全面指导框架。

该倡议旨在建立一个长期框架,应对**欧盟渔业和水产养殖业部门(EU fisheries and aquaculture sector)面临的结构性挑战,并确保其可持续性和竞争力。该部门是欧洲食品安全(European food security)的重要支柱,也是众多沿海社区(coastal communities)**经济生计的基础。

应对结构性压力

尽管具有战略重要性,该行业正面临日益严峻的压力,包括劳动力老龄化(ageing workforce)、有限的代际更替(generational renewal)、对**外部冲击(external shocks)的脆弱性、对化石燃料的依赖(fossil fuel dependency)以及确保可持续鱼类资源管理(sustainable fish stock management)**的紧迫需求。

即将发布的2040愿景(Vision 2040)将覆盖整个水产价值链,包括渔业(fisheries)水产养殖(aquaculture)水产食品加工(aquatic food processing),在推进环境和经济目标的同时增强行业韧性。

该战略建立在欧洲海洋公约(European Ocean Pact)的承诺、“未来渔民(Fishers of the Future)”前瞻研究成果以及对**共同渔业政策条例(Common Fisheries Policy Regulation)**的持续评估基础之上。

四大战略支柱

该愿景将围绕四个相互关联的维度展开:

  • 水产食品需求(Aquatic food demand)

  • 水产食品供应(Aquatic food supply)

  • 劳动力发展(Workforce development)

  • 基础设施与融资(Infrastructure and financing)

此外,欧盟委员会承诺优先推进简化措施(simplification measures),确保政策目标以**具有成本效益(cost-effective)适度(proportionate)**的方式实现。

广泛利益相关方参与

意见征集将持续至2026年3月24日(24 March 2026),委员会鼓励包括以下群体在内的广泛参与:

  • 渔业行业代表(Fishing industry representatives)生产者组织(producer organisations)

  • 水产养殖经营者(Aquaculture operators)水产食品加工企业(aquatic food processors)

  • 非政府组织(Non-governmental organisations)公民社会团体(civil society groups)

  • 学术和科研机构(Academic and scientific institutions)

  • 国家、地区和地方当局(National, regional and local authorities)

  • 社会和经济伙伴(Social and economic partners)

  • 个人公民(Individual citizens)

意见可通过欧盟委员会的**“Have Your Say”门户网站**提交。

下一步

通过本次意见征集收集的反馈将直接用于制定2040愿景(Vision 2040)。除公开征询外,委员会还在开展结构性对话,重点讨论实现公平竞争环境(level playing field)、加强食品安全(food security)、保护海洋生物资源(marine biological resources)以及推动欧洲沿海地区的绿色、数字和社会转型(green, digital and social transition)

最终战略预计将在直至**2040年(2040)**期间,对欧洲渔业和水产养殖业的未来发展发挥决定性作用,在经济活力与环境责任之间取得平衡。
