1. Creating long term secure employment, in particular in fishing-dependent areas.
2. Assuring the availability to consumers of products that are healthy, safe and of good quality, as well as promoting high animal health and welfare standards.
3. Ensuring an environmentally sound industry.
One of the main requirements to achieve these objectives is the availability of sound and accurate economic data so that production trends and socioeconomic factors could easily be monitored.
The main objective of the study is to identify the data required to assess the economic trends and performance of the EU-27 aquaculture sector and the best mechanisms for collecting this data.
