European social partners in the fisheries sector – ETF, Cogeca and Europêche – support measures to continue reducing the carbon footprint of the fishing sector. Being engaged in the partnership for the energy transition in fisheries launched by the European Commission, the Social Partners are committed to giving their contribution to the process together with the policymakers and relevant stakeholders.

In the framework of the ‘Pillars of the Sea 3’ project, Europêche and ETF work together with specialists in the sector to develop a wide range of tools – guidelines, course programmes, legal analyses, and recommendations – for a safer, healthier, and more worker-friendly fisheries sector in the EU and worldwide.
