Motivation: indicate why a State aid scheme has been established instead of assistance under the European Fisheries Fund:

This aid is identical to that provided by the European Fisheries Fund. However, it is funded by own resources only and, as a result, it comes 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.
