    Key points

    • The outbreak of COVID-19 is having a significant negative impact on the EU fisheries and aquaculture sector. The EESC therefore welcomes the European Commission's proposal, which it considers very necessary, and asks the European institutions to adopt it without delay.
    • However, the Committee believes that certain additional measures should be adopted, either in this legislative proposal or in other complementary ones.
