Fisheries agreements with non-EU countries are intended to allow EU vessels to fish for surplus stocks in a third country's exclusive economic zone in return for a financial contribution. They are negotiated by the European Commission based on a Council mandate, and ratified by the Council with the consent of the European Parliament (EP). The 2002 reform of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) led to a change from traditional fisheries agreements, mostly based on the principle of 'pay, fish and go', to a more sustainable approach under the current generation of Fisheries Partnership Agreements (FPAs). |
