"Following lengthy and difficult negotiations, a new protocol was signed between the European Union and the Republic of Mozambique in June 2011. It will remain in force until 31 December 2014 and involves an annual contribution of EUR 980 000 from the EU budget, of which EUR 520 000 is for access by European fishing vessels to the Mozambique fishing zone and 460 000 is to assist Mozambique’s sectoral policy. Access is 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. Fisheries relations between the European Community and the Republic of Mozambique go back a long way. The agreement with Mozambique is a strategic one, as it safeguards the continued existence of the European fleet’s fishing zone in the Indian Ocean and may offer an excellent alternative in the light of rising incidences of piracy in other exclusive economic zones further north. One of the objectives pursued by the EU and Mozambique is to promote economic, scientific and technical cooperation in the fisheries sector and in all related sectors, so as to establish cooperation structures leading to the development of a sustainable fisheries policy and responsible use of fisheries resources, in the interests of both parties."@en1
