Spain can grant up to €25 million in direct support to fishing vessel owners to help cover higher diesel costs linked to the conflict in the Middle East. The European Commission reviewed the measure under EU State aid rules and raised no objections. The scheme applies to the marine fishing sector and can cover up to 70% of eligible costs. Support is available until 31 December 2026, so affected fishing businesses should check national application rules and eligibility conditions.
