The annual budget allocated to the Sea Fisheries Protection Authority for 2021 is €24.810m. The Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority is the independent statutory body responsible for the regulation of the sea-fisheries and the seafood production sectors. It promotes compliance with the EU Common Fisheries Policy, sea-fisheries law and food safety law relating to fish and fish products, verify compliance and, where necessary, enforce it. The budget allocation to the SFPA enables them to continue to meet its national and EU obligations.
