"Mr President, Commissioner, it is very good news that the Commission has requested a mandate to commence negotiations for the renewal of the Protocol to the Fisheries Partnership Agreement between the European Union and Mauritania, which will replace the current protocol as from 31 July 2012.
The negotiations must be undertaken in a true spirit of cooperation between the institutions, given the European Parliament’s new powers under the Treaty of Lisbon.
The new protocol, based on the situation of the resources, must provide long-term sustainability to the EU fleet operating in Mauritanian waters. It must ensure that the EU makes a fair contribution to a lasting development of the Mauritanian fishing industry – which means going beyond the purely financial sphere – and it must also serve to effectively assert international law and respect for human rights.
Currently, EU contributions account for a third of Mauritania’s national budget. Hence, it is extremely important that the agreement is applied properly, that it encourages responsible fishing for the benefit of the populations that depend on fishing, and that it helps to combat illegal fishing by continuing the use of the control and surveillance systems currently in place."@en1
