Justification: The regional law ‘Rules on maritime fishing and on aid schemes supporting maritime fishing and aquaculture’, approved on 7 December 2005, precedes the entry into force of the EFF. Following an examination of the information provided previously, the law, in addition to covering schemes which can be found in the EFF programme, also provides for a local system for managing fishing which heavily involves the provincial system. The EFF, which entered into force in 2007, envisages similar schemes to those provided for in Regional Law No 66/2005, but is implemented using a different system. The EFF expects Member States to have a single national programme (Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 1198/2006), which includes measures directly implemented by the regions. The National State is therefore the managing authority for the entire programme, whereas the regions act as intermediary bodies.

Indicate why a State aid scheme has been established instead of assistance under the European Fisheries Fund: Given the particularities of fish farming operations, it is advisable to put in place a series of preventive measures in the interests of animal health and public health. The activities subsidised are covered by Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 736/2008 (Aid for animal health measures) and are part of the 2012 animal health plan.
