AB Through its structural funds the European Union (EU) has invested €1.17 billion in the aquaculture sector overthe period 2000–2014. In addition, the EU plans to spend a further €1.72 billion on the sector over the period2014–2020 through the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF). Despite this support, EU aquacultureproduction has not taken off. Indeed, EU production volume in 2016 was 8% less than in 2000, while globalproduction increased by more than 150%. These investments aim to make the EU aquaculture sector moresuccessful and competitive by focusing on quality, health and safety, as well as, eco-friendly production toprovide consumers with high-quality, highly nutritional and trustworthy products. This study provides the firstcomprehensive overview on the allocation of the different structural funds in the aquaculture sector and acrossEU Member States from the year 2000–2020. The importance of these subsidies is put into perspective bycomparing their evolution within and across the development of the different EU countries’ aquaculture sectors
