Other Media | Faro de Vigo: The cut to EU funds jeopardizes the viability of Galician fishing

SPAIN
Friday, July 18, 2025

The 4.0 refrigeration plant that the Guardeses Longliners Organization (Orpagu) inaugurated in 2022 in Tui is today a living example of the fishing sector's commitment to cutting-edge technology. These pioneering facilities would never have been a reality without the support of the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (Fempa)—the investment was around eight million, of which 5.4 million were covered by the subsidy granted by Brussels—but the project is just one of more than 9,000 initiatives that the maritime-industry chain has promoted in the region over the last decade. As FARO reported yesterday, the European Commission officially announced its intention this Wednesday to slash the fisheries budget for the 2028-2034 period
