"Mr President, I would like to say that fishing relations between the European Union and Mauritania go back a long way, to 1987, and it is clear that – since the disappearance of the fisheries agreement with Morocco, to whose demise we all contributed – it is now the most important of all the European Union’s agreements in terms of volume of catches and budgetary allocations. As previous speakers have said, it is one of the so-called Southern agreements, an agreement under which shipowners contribute to the economic costs by paying for licences. As you know, in the Northern agreements, the shipowners do not pay.
As the rapporteur says in his report, four Southern States (Spain, Italy, Portugal and France) are going to be the beneficiaries of this new five-year protocol, although it is also the case that, if fishing opportunities are not utilised – as the rapporteur says – other European countries can use them, which is also something which happens in Southern agreements, but not in Northern agreements.
As always, I would like to stress to the Members of this House – and not only those of the Committee on Fisheries – the importance of fisheries agreements with third countries, the importance of continuing to sign up to them and to sign up to new ones. I stress their importance for those third countries and for European regions which are highly dependent on fishing such as my own, Galicia, and I stress once again that this agreement is mutually beneficial."@en1
