To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how much the UK has received through the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund in each of the last 10 years.
George Eustice
The Minister of State, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
The European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF), as with all European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF), run on a seven year cycle. The predecessor to the EMFF was the European Fisheries Fund (EFF), which ran from 2007 – 2013. A breakdown of payments received by the UK, for each fund are given below. The EMFF did not open for applications until January 2016 and payments for projects did not commence until later that year. Therefore, the figure for 2015 and most of that for 2016 comprise of the pre-financing element that is provided by the European Commission.
