What does CAEN 03 mean?
CAEN division 03 (rev. 2) is "Fishing and aquaculture", with 4 activity classes, in section A — Agriculture, forestry and fishing. Eligibility is checked against the exact class (4 digits) in the programme's list.
How many active companies are there in fishing and aquaculture?
1,415 active companies have their main CAEN code in division 03; 653 had employees in their latest financial statements and 60 were established in the last two years. Most are in Bucharest (137), Constanța (108) and Ilfov (82).
Does it matter whether the CAEN code is primary or secondary?
It depends on the guide: some programmes require the funded activity to be the main code, while others accept a secondary code authorised at the investment location. Companies now hold codes under CAEN revision 2 or 3; the lists here include the equivalences between the two revisions.
