In 2002, the EC presented a strategy for the sustainable development of European aquaculture, which gave a ten-year vision of aquaculture aimed at reaching the status of a stable industry guaranteeing long-term secure employment, which was able to cope with the main problems identified, ensuring health and environmental protection. Five years later, although most of the challenges identified then appear still valid, the EC has launched a ‘Consultation for the opportunities for the development of community aquaculture’.
