"Fishing by European vessels in Seychelles is governed by a protocol covering the period from 18 January 2005 to 17 January 2011. Seychelles has a 1 374 000 km² exclusive economic zone for a land area of 453 km². This archipelago of 115 islands has an estimated population of 80 000, 88% of whom live on the island of Mahé, whose capital is Victoria, the country’s main port. Seychelles’ economy relies essentially on tourism and fisheries. Its fishing industry, centred around canning, accounts for 15% of its GDP and 17% of the working population. An assessment of the agreement shows that it is relevant in that it helps to maintain the presence of EU fleets in the region while contributing to local job creation. The implementation of the protocol has proved effective by providing Seychelles with resources to develop a responsible fishing industry. The agreement is making a substantial contribution to the stabilisation of the European canned tuna market. The new Protocol will stay in force from 2011 till 2014 and is in line with the objectives of the Fisheries Partnership Agreement aiming at strengthening the cooperation between the European Union and the Republic of Seychelles."@en1
