In 2003, a new Protocol was agreed with Greenland, covering the period from 1 January 2004 to 31 December 2006, within the scope of the mid-term review of the Fourth Protocol, which lays down conditions provided for in the Fisheries Agreement between Greenland and the European Community.
This review introduces a range of adjustments, but does not alter the level of financial compensation, which remains at EUR 42 820 000 per year. The review does, however, make a clearer distinction between amounts set aside to compensate fisheries possibilities and support for structural reform. We welcome the increase in halibut quotas, which means that national fleets may now catch 800 tonnes of Greenland halibut. It should be noted, however, that, at the time of the decision, Portugal was excluded from this agreement, despite its historical fishing rights in the area.
Given the extent to which quotas are under-used, we must ensure that the principle of good financial management is applied, in other words, that the fisheries possibilities offered by the international fisheries agreements are used effectively, without undermining the principle of relative stability. The report and the Commission proposal open up the possibility of redistributing quotas that are not fully used in a given year. We feel, however, that the wording of Amendment No 5 is more acceptable, and that this Amendment should, accordingly, be approved in plenary."@en1
