    PL - FLAG Cooperation in Poland

    09/12/2021
    - Cooperation MS Fiche
    Cooperation activities are not mandatory in the Polish EMFF programme, but FLAGs are encouraged to undertake them. Cooperation is considered as a good way to facilitate learning by FLAGs and to contribute to achieving their strategic objectives, which strongly prioritise job creation, both within and outside the fisheries sector. In the previous period many Polish FLAGs already proved eager to learn from FLAGs in other Member States and to share their experience with them.

    La conchyliculture est une activité économique importante sur la côte atlantique française. Mais elle génère aussi des moules sous-calibrées – des sous-produits qui sont habituellement jetés. Ce projet entend tirer profit de leur potentiel en les utilisant pour produire du méthane, lui-même source d’énergie.
