FEAP and EUSeA met EU Commissioner Costas Kadis to call for a Blue Food Action Plan
On 1 December, the EU Seafood Alliance partners – FEAP, Europêche, EAPO and Seafood Europe – met with Costas Kadis, Commissioner for Fisheries and Oceans , to call for an ambitious EU Blue Food Action Plan that would boost the production and consumption of aquatic foods across Europe.
With the Vision 2040 for Fisheries and Aquaculture now included in the Commission’s 2026 Work Programme, stakeholders are urging that blue foods be fully integrated into this Vision. The proposal has already received strong backing from the European Economic and Social Committee, Members of the European Parliament, and several Advisory Councils.
For FEAP, this initiative is particularly important: a future Blue Food Action Plan would help strengthen Europe’s food security, highlight the nutritional and environmental value of farmed fish, and promote aquaculture as a strategic food-producing sector in the EU’s future policies.
