Cyprus has taken on the portfolio of 'Fisheries and Oceans' in the European Union, with Kostas Kadis responsible for promoting sustainability and competitiveness in the fishing sector. This portfolio is deemed important for strengthening European fishing policy and managing marine resources. Ursula von der Leyen emphasized that the goal is to protect Europe's food sovereignty.
