Seminar : Good practices in administrative simplification of the promotion of sustainable aquaculture

Parallel session B1 / Capacity building in public administrations

Brussels, 18-19 November 2015

What can the public administrations do

for the promotion of sustainable aquaculture ?

The previous European fisheries fund (EFF) (2007-2013) was

spent only up to 10-20% by the main aquaculture Member States

The goals of french PNSPDA





Why do we preferred a "collaborative approach" ?

� Because the situation is like a "regulatory clogging"

- 162 pages necessary to explain the rules in the guide for project leaders "installation classified Environment"

(ICPE) in marine fish farming ...

- 33 items for which continental fishfarming is likely to be subject to authorizations or declarations (Animal Health,

Food safety, Health and Hygiene, Environmental Impact Assessment, Water use, Work safety, etc.).

� No new facilities in marine fish farming for 15 years !

� Only 6000 t/an in France : "The set of all French marine fish cages fit into the old port of Marseille"

� many continental fish farms are not really in regulatory compliance..





locations aquaculture sea cages in the EUSource : https://fishreg.jrc.ec.europa.eu/web/mappingaquaculture

�� Nothing strange?





� Because professionnals need a really applied regulation(they need legal certainty, for example, due to the high risk of user conflicts around aquatic

environments)

� Because Fish farming industry is well organized and dynamic :(is it a resilience effect ?)

CIPA = interprofessional organization , with upstream and downstream of production)

and is dynamic (notably with good development of caviar products, smoked trout and

hatchery bass, sea bream , meagre, ..)

Why do we preferred a "collaborative approach" ? (after 1)





� Because it's very complex to... simplify !

(150 pages necessary for a simple ministerial order,

just listing the regulatory points to update or to delete !)






�� Because without the voluntary participation of

professionals, water laws and rules are not very effective...90% of the measurement points in rivers for WFD are contaminated with pesticides

78% of shellfish waters are in sanitary classification B or C

�Consequently, we have to deal with the reality !"On fait avec..."

PNSPDA / Orientation n°1 :

"Improve governance of interfaces between administrations and professionals"

1/ Improve the readability of the administrative organization ...

TARGETED GOAL No. 1 ... to better manage the complexity involved in the regulatory field

aquacultures

TARGETED GOAL No. 2. ... to designate a national unit of aquaculture expertise(between ministerial departments)

TARGETED GOAL No. 3. ... to establish "one-stop-shop", "single authorization", "implicit

acceptance", etc.

TARGETED GOAL No. 4. ... to assert special permits for experimentation

TARGETED GOAL No. 5. ... To support the signing of "pacts", "charters" or

"multiannual improvement plans"





PNSPDA / support the signing of "pacts", "charters" or "multiannual

improvement plans

Example : The "Progress plan Protocol" for French fish farming

A coordination between administrations and fishfarming professionnals was

already in place by 2011 by CIPA and FFA :

"The Charter of commitment to sustainable French aquaculture development"

and installing a "National Liaison Committee"

Thus, the PSNPDA supports the implementation of a "progress plan protocol for

fish farming" with two goals :





PNSPDA / "Progress plan Protocol for fish farming" :

Two goals :

- maintaining the overall production capacity of the French fishfarming park

-to mark the desire to support the freshwater trout farming industry in its

efforts to reduce its ecological footprint

The progress plan for fish protocol was signed on 15 February 2015 between

professional and administrative managers, but it was accompanied by a letter to

the prefects, signed by the 3 ministers of Ecology&Energy, Agriculture and

Aquaculture & Fisheries :





PNSPDA / "Progress plan Protocol for French fish farming" :

It plans :

- The technical support by ONEMA (National Agency for Water and Aquatic

Environments)

- The financial support by the water Agencies

- The participation of decentralized services for the expertise of the required WFD

quality objectives of rivers,

- The mobilization of inspection services on regulatory clarification of points

- The establishment of a regional monitoring body meeting once a year to:

"identify progress and possible difficulties to communicate to ministers and to

continue the improvement process".





The Protocol involves five iteratives steps

Inventory of fish sites

List of the sites, their

characteristics,

environmental data on

specific areas

Diagnosis of stakes situations

prioritize situations and

identify priority sites, in view

of the important issues in

consultation with all

stakeholders

Thorough diagnosis on main sites

concerted diagnosis on

sites with the highest

stakes

Improvement Plan on main sites

Concerted plan

to improve the sites with the

highest stakes

and in coordination with the

water agencies for the

financial support

Individual action plan

" for all fish freshwater sites,

depending on the

particularities of each site,

with technical support,

adapted in each case,

site by site
