Relief for fishing professionals. French fishermen will benefit from the extension of aid of 20 cents per liter of fuel until June 30, 2024, announced Emmanuel Macron, Tuesday, November 28, during the maritime economy conference, which is being held in Nantes (Loire Atlantique).
This aid, which expired on December 31, will apply up to a ceiling of 335,000 euros per company per year. “These 20 cents will be combined with the aid that we have obtained from several large groups, Total and others, which means that we will have exceptional aid that our fishermen will never have had on fuel,” assured the President of the Republic.
Emmanuel Macron went to the maritime economy conference in Nantes, organized by the daily newspapers West France And The sailor, which brings together fishermen, shipbuilders, shipowners, local elected officials and associations near the first French offshore wind farm off the coast of Saint-Nazaire (Loire-Atlantique). The head of state notably announced that the government would launch a huge call for tenders in 2025 for the installation of offshore wind farms with the aim of producing 10 gigawatts in 2035.
