New EU policy to benefit small-scale fishermen, Commissioner DamanakiThousands of small coastal fishermen, active in Greece, who fish with traditional tools, will benefit from the EU's new fishery policy, since Brussels is "freezing" the funding of big fishing vessels and placing the small ones at the focus in an effort to convey the weight centre to the viability of seas.The above appears from statements made on Thursday by European Maritime Policy and Fisheries Commissioner Maria Damanaki, during a press conference held in Thessaloniki in the framework of the High Level Conference on Fishing Capacity, under the auspices of the Greek Presidency of the EU's council."Greece has approximately 10,000 owners of small vessels, who fish with traditional means. They are at the focus of our care", Damanaki said.
