2a. Stresses that 2021 will be a pivotal year for implementing the Green Deal fisheries objectives, which will alone require a significant increase in the budget allocated to the EMFF for this year; points out that the uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 crisis also necessitate increased funding; regrets, therefore, the failure of the Commission to present a more ambitious proposal and the Council's own position regarding the EMFF budget for 2021; calls on the Commission and Council to take all these factors into account, review their position and accept a considerable increase;
