Experiences and expectations of the CLLD 2014-2020

among Local Action Groups for fisheries.

O NAS Słowinska Fishery Group

We have been introducing the CLLD approach on fishing-dependent areas since 2009: • with key participation and full commitment of

the fishing community, • in partnership with local governments,

businesses, NGO's and residents. • There are 312 Local Fishery Groups throughout

Europe. • In Poland there are 48, including 9 on the

seashore

Local Action Groups for fisheries (FLAGs)

Słowiński Fisheries Trail — dialogue and collaboration across three sectors

The Trail partners are 14 entities representing three sectors related to the fishery background of the area, but also to culture and tourism. Together we are creating a tourist product based on culture, traditions and local fishing resources. In this season tourists learnt about our offer from a handout describing attractions to be found on the Trail. Next season, we are launching comprehensive tourist packs.


• assumptions: creation of a culture trail based on fishery culture and traditions, presenting their specific features and diversity. The trail covers selected area in the north of Poland.

• 9 fishery groups • 3 regions: Zachodnioporskie, Pomorskie, Warmińsko-Mazurskie

Together with other LFG's, we are creating the NORTHERN FISHERIES TRAIL.


How we will benefit from the CLLD in the new period

Transition from the testing and learning stage to conscious application

Reinforcing the routine of taking responsibility for own decisions and

initiatives in the community

Combining individual projects/actions into groups and major undertakings,

generating added value


Our expectations in the new CLLD implementation period

Creating a realistic and detailed area development strategy (key

industries included, based

on local resources)

Supporting partnership solutions —

teaching local residents how to think in terms of

(local) community and

harmonising various interests

(residents, entrepreneurs

etc.)

Promoting the local

community's responsibility for

area development and

creating fundamentals for

further local development

after 2020

Accounting for the needs of

natural environment in

strategic planning and using natural

resources

Strengthening projects which

are innovatory in regional scale

From ourselves, the Local Fishery Group:


Our expectations in the new period

Greater support from other EU

funds in financing CLLD

Financing the bottom-up approach in operational programmes (agriculture,

fishing) relevant to the current programming

period

Open scope of projects in the

national guidelines

Collaboration based on

partnership

Opportunities to implement

partnership and cross-sectoral

projects

From the system


CLLD in the new period in Poland

The CLLD approach in Poland will be financed with resources from EAFRD and EFF. Out of 16 regions only 3 made the decision to finance CLLD within ERDF and ESF.

Our experience

Things that work: • Advance payments up to 100% • Open scope of projects in the national

guidelines • Support for the maritime fishing sector, greatly

disadvantaged by EU reforms Things that need improvement: • Promoting the CLLD approach among officials

responsible for programming development with the use of ERDF and ESF.

• Introducing incentives for the application of CLLD or defining minimum threshold of ESF and ERDF allocation
