Indicate why a State aid scheme has been established instead of assistance under the European Fisheries Fund: This aid is the same as that provided by the European Fisheries Fund (EFF), supplemented by own resources where appropriate and, as such, it falls under Regulation (EC) No 736/2008. The aid is therefore intended to allow for an oversubscription of projects that meet EFF criteria and the specific criteria laid down by EU regulations regarding exempted aid schemes. If other EFF resources are used in addition to the EFF, special attention will be given both to compliance with the so-called ‘incentive effect’ and with the Deggendorf principle.
