Italie

The 53 Italian FLAGs focus on the fisheries sector’s local production systems, promoting innovative fisheries products and processing, and supporting links with the agri-food sector.

As a multi-regional Member State, FLAG cooperation in Italy is encouraged as a way of sharing new ideas and innovations between regions. Italy takes a flexible approach towards cooperation, allowing FLAGs to benefit from the full range of provisions that the EMFF foresees, including exchanges where these can bring new knowledge that can be valuable to its fisheries sector.

This cooperation project aimed to apply a technology based on the “blockchain” principle to fisheries. By using this trustworthy shared recording system, the three FLAGs implemented a traceability system which provides complete and accurate information to consumers of artisanal fishing products.

Ce projet de coopération visait à déployer une technologie fondée sur le principe de la « blockchain » dans des zones de pêche. En utilisant ce système de stockage multi-utilisateurs sécurisé, les trois GALPA ont mis en place un mécanisme de traçabilité qui fournit des informations complètes et précises aux consommateurs de produits issus de la pêche artisanale.

WWF and Blue Seeds have launched an innovative scheme supporting small-scale fishers in coastal areas that want to implement measures to reduce the environmental impact of fisheries.

On 16 December 2020, the transnational cooperation EU-Turkey Coops to Coast held its final capitalisation event, organised by the Black Sea Science Technology and Culture Association and Haliéus Italy (leading partners).

The Chioggia and Po Delta FLAG has successfully convinced a high school to launch an official training programme in commercial fishing and fish production. The FLAG used their animation activities, together with fisheries stakeholders and the wider local community, to attract their first groups of students who will become the entrepreneurs of the future.

Un GALPA italien et ses partenaires ont recours à des fonds de l’appel « Économie bleue durable » de l’EASME pour aider les communautés de pêche tunisiennes à développer leur capacité à mettre en œuvre le développement local mené par les acteurs locaux (DLAL).
