25.3.1 Socio-economic Context
In compliance with the Operational Program “Fisheries sector development” for
Programming period 2007–2013, Priority axis 1 “Measures for adaptation of the
fishing fleet”, Measure 1.1. “Public aid for permanent cessation of fishing activities” the decrease of the capacity will be achieved, based on the national plans for
adjustment of the fishing effort in direction of restructuring of the fishing fleet and
conservation of its sustainable management, in compliance with the principles of
the Common Fisheries Policy.
From the applied Table 25.5 with implementation of the scheme for withdrawing
from exploitation of vessels from the Bulgarian fishing fleet is obvious, that
Bulgaria makes efforts for withdrawing from exploitation of vessels in the segments
6–12 m, 12–18 m and 18–24 m. Implementation of Fishing Efforts Adjustment
Plans is summarized in Table 25.5.
25.3.2 Impact on Fishing Capacity of Effort Reduction
Schemes
During 2013, as a result of application of FEAP 39 fishing vessels were scrapping,
respectively, suspended licenses with public aid (Table 25.6 and Fig. 25.6), 87.20%
in segments 6–12 and 12–18, the priority fishing for turbot. In conclusion from the
presented data it may be considered, that from adoption of FEAP the Republic of
Bulgaria made the necessary effort for reduction of the pressure on the populations
of the quoted species and for the restructuring of its fishing fleet. The result of
permanent cessations of fishing activities of the vessels in segments between 6 and
12 m, and between 12 and 18 m is the reduction of pressure on the stocks, and from
the other side is a key point for improvement of the state of the whole population
(Table 25.6).
25.4 Compliance with Entry/Exit Scheme and with Level
of Reference
The capacity of the Bulgarian fishing fleet on 1 January 2007: GT07 ¼ 8448 GT and
kW07 ¼ 68,304 kW (Table 25.7).
Each entry (or increase in tonnage or engine power) in the fleet register was
covered by the removal of at least the same amount of the fleet. So Bulgaria can
ensure that at all times the fishing capacity of its fishing fleet in tonnage (GT) and
power (kW) is equal or less than the fishing capacity at its accession date as
