lpv:translated text	". We have chosen to vote against the two partnership agreements on fishing between the EU and Guinea-Bissau and Côte d’Ivoire, respectively. The reason is that experience of this type of agreement is highly dubious. Low-income countries are offered a lump sum payment and, in return, they open up their waters to commercial fishing by EU Member States, mainly in Southern Europe. The resources transferred are ridiculously small in relation to the catches taken; in addition, there is a clear risk of unsustainable fishing. A further argument is that local inshore fishing is usually adversely affected. We hope that it will be possible, within the context of the EU’s sustainable development strategy (SDS), to assess these fishing agreements without delay and to replace them with schemes which are sustainable."@en1
