The Council authorised the European Commission to negotiate, on behalf of the European Union, the renewal of the Protocol to the Fisheries Partnership Agreement between the European Community and the Republic of Cape Verde. At the end of the negotiations a new draft protocol was initialled by the negotiators on 28 August 2014. The new Protocol covers a period of four years from the date of provisional application laid down in Article 15, that being the date on which it is signed. The main purpose of the Protocol to the Agreement is to grant fishing opportunities to Union vessels in the fishing zone of the Republic of Cape Verde, in accordance with the best scientific opinions available and the recommendations of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), where applicable within the limits of the available surplus. The Commission's negotiating position was based in part on the results of an ex-post evaluation of the previous Protocol carried out by external experts. The general aim is to enhance cooperation between the European Union and the Republic of Cape Verde, thereby creating a partnership framework within which to develop a sustainable fisheries policy and sound exploitation of fishery resources in the fishing zone of the Republic of Cape Verde, in the interests of both parties. |
