After Bulgaria joined the European Union, subsidies were received to meet the requirements of the EU legislation on the development of fishing ports and on the production of aquacultures in the Republic of Bulgaria. The EU fisheries policy was focused on the provision of support to Bulgaria for new investments, reconstruction, and modernization of the fishing ports, quays, fish unloading docks, and for the construction of covered boat berths. The details for this are given in Measure 3.3 of priority axis 3 ‘Measures of Common Interest’ from the Operational Programme for Fisheries Development, hereinafter referred to as OPFD, in the Republic of Bulgaria. The measure was financed by the EU Fisheries Fund in the programme period from 2007 to 2013. The Operational Programme ‘Fisheries’ 2007-2013 with the Ministry of Agriculture and Food was instrumental in the implementation of the national policy for the development of fisheries and aquacultures in our country. An ideation project was drawn up for the fishing port in Pomorie. Accordingly, a technical project to support it was also drawn up: ‘Reconstruction and Modernization of the Fishing Port of Pomorie’ in a new RLP, District 19а, Pomorie, Municipality of Pomorie, District of Burgas. New elements of the fishing port were included in that project, along with reinforcement of the coastline, and expansion and modernization of the fishing port in Pomorie.
