"The Fisheries Partnership Agreement (FPA) between the European Union and the Republic of Guinea-Bissau has provided access to fishing opportunities for EU fleet segments from highly fishery-dependent areas, supported their regional presence in West Africa, created employment, and generated additional supplies for the EU market. It is estimated that the agreement supported the employment of 470 EU nationals. The FPA has also proved to be relevant to the needs of Guinea-Bissau, both as a major contribution to macroeconomic and budgetary stability and in terms of national fisheries policy, since it provides financial means for the implementation of important measures to support the economic development and sustainability of the sector: according to the evaluation report, it provided an average of about 7.3% of annual government revenue and around 88% of budgeted fisheries expenditure. It has had a particular impact on reducing illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and bringing the sector closer to meeting EU sanitary conditions for trade in fishery products, both important conditions for development of a national fisheries sector. I voted for the extension of the fisheries protocol for all these reasons."@en1
