lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, in order to overcome the problem of its scant fish stocks, the European Union has, amongst other measures, concluded agreements with third countries with a view to using these countries’ territorial waters in exchange for financial compensation. In 2002, the European Union signed an agreement of this nature with Mozambique, which was seen by many as the perfect agreement, because it managed to combine cooperation and mutual interest: in the next three years the Community fleet will be able to fish in Mozambican territorial waters in return for financial compensation of around EUR four million. This balanced agreement is in actual fact ideal. Firstly, because it covers species which have abundant stocks in Mozambique; shrimp and tuna. Secondly, it seeks to develop local fisheries by training Mozambican crews. Thirdly, Community compensation has been earmarked for tangible objectives in the fisheries sector. The fourth and last point is that the agreement’s implementation will be monitored, with particular attention being paid to the sanitation aspects of catches. I agree with the requirement laid down by the European Parliament, through its rapporteur, Mr Stevenson, to receive an annual report on the agreement’s application and on the implementation of its measures, which will enable this institution closely to monitor this agreement – of strategic importance for the European Union’s common fisheries policy – thereby keeping up to date in preparation for any negotiations, when it comes to renewing the agreement. I wish to conclude by expressing my complete satisfaction at the signing of this agreement, which is so well balanced. I am truly convinced that, unlike the previous agreement, Mozambique will have no reason to be unhappy with this text."@en1
