The Commission has authorized State aid to France for fishing port facilities at La Rochelle. The aid is part of a wider project to transfer the port of Rochelle-Ville to Chef de Baie. The aim of the project is to improve the ways in which fisheries products are processed and offered for sale, to bring the fishing industry of La Rochelle in line with European health standards and to provide fishing companies with facilities to improve the ways in which products are landed, sold, stored and dispatched. The project also aims to improve repair and maintenance facilities for fishing vessels. * * *
