"Mr President, on 26 July this year, a few days before the protocol to the EU-Mauritania Fisheries Partnership Agreement (FPA) was due to expire, the European Commission initialled a new protocol. Although there is a substantial increase in compensation, fishing opportunities have been considerably reduced.
The provisional application of this protocol is having a significant economic and social impact on the sector, and the situation is particularly dramatic in Galicia, the autonomous community where I come from.
The Galician cephalopod fleet has been forced to leave Mauritanian waters, and the hake and shellfish fleets are fishing and working under more burdensome and costly conditions with greater limitations, as are the rest of the fleets.
At the moment, only 5% of the protocol’s potential is being used, which may render the measure useless. Faced with this situation, I would argue that the Commission needs to renegotiate the fishing conditions without delay in order to reach a satisfactory, sustainable agreement and so that Parliament can conclude and adopt the new protocol in the future."@en1
