Successful applicants

If you have been successful in your application for funding from the European Fisheries Fund you will receive an offer letter from us. This letter will explain what you have to do to accept the grant and claim your funding.

You are able to apply for EFF funding again and many people have done so. This must be for a new project.

Claiming your grant

Publicity

It is a requirement of the EU Commission that all beneficiaries of grant aid from the European Fisheries Fund (EFF) are publicised. This is done through the European Transparency Initiative, which requires the following information to be made public:

  • name of the beneficiary
  • name of the operation (project title and brief description)
  • year of allocation (year the project is approved)
  • year of payment (year that the final claim for payment is made)
  • amount of EFF funding committed
  • amount of national funding committed
  • total amount paid

This information will be updated twice a year.

After each selection panel, information on the successful projects will be added to these pages.

The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, Scottish Government and Welsh Government are designated as intermediate bodies to carry out some of the functions of the managing authority under the responsibility of the UK managing authority. They will publicise the beneficiaries of EFF grant aid in their countries twice a year.

We may also contact projects to seek their approval to release their story to the media, or to use on the news and case studies page.
