Date: February 02, 2018

Place:  Brussels, Brussels - Belgium

Description of the event: Since the publication of the Strategic Guidelines on the sustainable development of European aquaculture, the European Commission has been working closely with Member States to address the obstacles hindering the development of the sector, primarily at the national level. As highlighted in the European Committee of the Regions’ Opinion on “The Future of European Aquaculture“, however, Regions have a key role to play in creating the right conditions for the development of EU aquaculture, through efficient licensing procedures, spatial planning, promotion of local products and other initiatives. A Conference to discuss these issues will be held on 2 February 2018 in Brussels, at the European Committee of the Regions and will be open to Member States representatives, Regional Authorities and other stakeholders.
