"As a European and a Portuguese, I was very pleased to vote for the protocol to the EU–Guinea-Bissau Fisheries Partnership Agreement, as Guinea-Bissau is a member of the Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries (CPLP), which is headquartered in Lisbon. The protocol allows EU vessels to continue fishing in Guinea-Bissau waters for an additional year, up to a maximum of 37 authorisations for tuna vessels and an annual reference tonnage of 8 800 gross registered tonnage for trawlers. Four licences are allocated to Portugal, for tuna vessels and shrimp trawlers. Aside from the specifics of negotiating this new protocol, I believe it is important to highlight that the scientific opinion on the sustainability of exploiting the fishery resources in Guinea-Bissau waters at the current level of fishing suggests it is sustainable for a number of species. I also consider it important to highlight that two safeguard clauses have been included in the areas of respect for human rights and democratic principles, and of promoting improvements in the sanitary conditions of the sector will be promoted as a way to develop the sector as a whole nationally. Agreed payments can be suspended if it is found these clauses are not being respected."@en1
