"This fisheries protocol ensures fishing opportunities in the Seychelles’ exclusive economic zone for various fleets from the Member States. These include five Portuguese surface long-liners.
The renewal of this protocol aims to support the sustainability of long-distance fishing fleets from the Member States, a section of the fleets that has been particularly affected by the crisis in the fisheries sector in recent years. This is a goal and a concern that we naturally share. However, we cannot fail to point out some doubts that remain – arising from other fisheries partnership agreements – about the effectiveness of the stated objectives of cooperation on sustainable development in the sector for the third country in question, and on the sustainability and monitoring of their fishing activities. These are issues that it is important to clarify in the future.
We note the fact that fishing opportunities have been reduced by half and that the cost of licences has been increased to EUR 40 000 for tuna seiners, although there has been an increase in the number of these ships covered by the agreement."@en1
