Recital 7
(7) Producer organisations are the key actors for the appropriate application of the Common Fisheries Policy and the Common Market Organisation. It is therefore necessary to strengthen their objectives to ensure that their members carry out fishing and aquaculture activities in a sustainable manner, improve the placing on the market of products, and collect economic information on aquaculture. When realising these objectives, producer organisations should take account the different conditions of the fishery and aquaculture sectors prevailing in the Union, in particular the specificities of small-scale fisheries.
