La medida abarca los cánones cuyo pago debía realizarse entre el 16 de marzo y el 16 de junio de 2020, otorgando un plazo adicional de tres meses a partir del vencimiento del canon correspondiente. La decisión se fundamenta en el estado de emergencia nacional por la pandemia de COVID-19, que afectó al sector pesquero y acuícola, impidiendo a los usuarios realizar los pagos o gestionar prórrogas. También instruye gestionar ante el MOPT lo relativo a certificados de navegabilidad vencidos y ante la CCSS para que no se exija estar al día en obligaciones durante el período de mora. El acuerdo es de implementación inmediata y fue comunicado por la Presidencia Ejecutiva de INCOPESCA.",
  "summary_en": "Agreement 0048-2020 of the Board of Directors of INCOPESCA, issued on April 2, 2020 in Puntarenas, postpones the collection of annual fees for commercial fishing licenses, aquaculture authorizations, and authorizations for the transportation and commercialization of fishery products, except for supermarkets. The measure covers fees due between March 16 and June 16, 2020, granting an additional three-month period from the original due date to make the payment. The decision is based on the national state of emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which affected the fishing and aquaculture sector, preventing users from making payments or requesting extensions. It also instructs to make arrangements with the MOPT regarding expired seaworthiness certificates and with the Costa Rican Social Security Fund (CCSS) so that being up to date on obligations is not required during the delinquency period. The agreement is immediately implemented and was communicated by the Executive Presidency of INCOPESCA.",
