We voted in favour of this report, in order to ensure fishing opportunities for Community fleets, including the five longliners, in these waters until 30 June 2007. The last protocol expired on 30 June 2003 and was extended for a further year.
This agreement provides for financial compensation of around EUR 1 million, fishing rights of 9 000 tonnes per year, 1 300 GT per month for demersal species and work for 48 French, Spanish and Portuguese vessels. The Commission drew up a cost/benefit assessment of this agreement, which concluded that the protocol was a sizeable subsidy to the EU tuna fleets in these waters; it led to a value-added of EUR 1.7 million. The value-added for the Côte d'Ivoire economy was estimated to be EUR 2.5 million.
Nevertheless, despite the commendable concern for the sustainability of fisheries in Côte d’Ivoire and for protecting local traditional fishing, this protocol has – apart from the tuna seiners – been under-used, which is also indicative of the current state of the Community’s distant fleets, especially in Portugal. It is imperative that an assessment be carried out of this situation, and of the distribution of fishing opportunities."@en1
