"This report approves the conclusion of the EU-Mozambique Fisheries Partnership Agreement. The agreement provides for an annual contribution of EUR 980 000, of which EUR 520 000 is for European fishing vessels to access the Mozambique fishing zone, and EUR 460 000 is to assist Mozambique’s sectoral policy. It also provides for a reference tonnage of 8 000 tonnes per year, representing a reduction in relation to the previous protocol. Access is thereby authorised for a total of 75 EU vessels: 43 tuna seiners and 32 surface long-liners. The Member States interested in these fishing opportunities are Spain, France, Portugal and the United Kingdom. The rapporteur highlights the amendments to the protocol to reflect the latest changes to Mozambique’s national fisheries legislation. In relation to the requirement that European vessels hire Mozambican seamen, it is specified that the declaration ‘provides for mandatory freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining, and the elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation’, and that ‘the wages shall not be lower than those of crews on national vessels, nor the level determined by the [International Labour Organisation]’. We voted for the conclusion of the agreement, but would emphasise the need to increase support for the sector and its results."@en1
