"Guinea-Bissau is one of the least developed countries in the world, hugely dependent on the support of international donors which provide almost a third of its national income. Therefore, the EU, its main donor, provides a tenth of this state’s national income with an annual contribution of around EUR 100 million. In these circumstances, support must continue to be provided in promoting the sustainability of fisheries resources in Guinea-Bissau. It is important to include additional clauses in this new protocol, stipulating that any violation of human rights in Guinea-Bissau may result in the payment of the EU’s financial contribution being suspended, in accordance with Article 9 of the Cotonou Agreement. I also believe that closer monitoring is required of problems which persist, such as illegal fishing, due to inadequate surveillance, increasing levels of discards of undersized species and of non-commercial species, non-compliance with EU sanitary rules, affecting bilateral trade, as well as non-compliance with reporting conditions imposed on EU vessels. Last but not least, I am concerned, in connection with this report, by the way in which the European Commission has decided to cooperate with Parliament and respect the latter’s decision-making role."@en1
