Inland fishing
Article 13
1. For the purpose of Article 33 of the basic Regulation, ‘vessels operating exclusively in inland waters’ shall mean vessels engaged in commercial fishing in inland waters and not included in the Community fishing fleet register. 2. For the investments provided for in the second subparagraph of Article 33(2) and Article 25 of the basic Regulation, vessels of less than 12 metres, not using towed gear and operating in inland fishing, may be supported with the same aid intensity as provided for small-scale coastal vessels referred to in Article 26 of that Regulation. 3. Member States shall determine in their operational programmes how they will ensure that the investments supported under Article 33 of the basic Regulation do not jeopardise the equilibrium between the fleet size and the corresponding fish resources available.
